The following list highlights the features available in PDF files generated in a book.
Support for PDF and plain text files. When we refer to "external content" within books, we can now include Excel, Word, PowerPoint, PDF and regular text files within books.
"Cell document attachments" (for example, Cell Text) that are extracted from a Financial Reporting report (Microsoft Office, PDF and text files) are included in the PDF output.
Any cell documents associated with an Financial Reporting report display as "sub-items" in the book's table of contents.
PDF bookmarks are shown on the left part of Adobe Reader. With bookmarks, you can jump to any of the book's chapters.
A table of contents with linked items. When you click on an item in the table of content, you are presented with the first page of that item.
Continuous page numbers. Financial Reporting reports, snapshots Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and plain text files show continuous page numbers.
Note: | The user needs to select the "continuous page number" option in the book properties for the continuous page numbers to be in effect. Also, it is not possible to implement continuous page numbers for embedded PDF files. |
Total page counts. Similar to continuous page numbers, Financial Reporting reports, snapshots, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and plain text files show a consistent total page count. For example, suppose a report has 3 pages but the book's contents make 10 pages. If the "<<PageCount()>>” text function is used in the report, it will show "10" instead of "3".
The way plain text files are printed can be customized by modifying the "FR_TextTemplate.doc" Word file.
Note: | Before you print a book, you should set the Book Properties options as described in the following section. |
