Features of a PDF File Generated From a Book

  • PDF and plain text files are supported. When referring to "external content" within books, you can include Excel, Word, PowerPoint, PDF, and plain text files within books.

  • Cell document attachments (for example, Cell Text) that are extracted from a Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting report (Microsoft Office, PDF, and text files) are included in the PDF output.

  • Any cell documents associated with a Financial Reporting report are displayed as "sub-items" in the book's table of contents.

  • PDF bookmarks are displayed on the left in Adobe Reader. Use bookmarks to any of the book's chapters.

  • The table of contents includes linked items. When you click an item in the table of contents, the first page of that item is displayed.

  • Financial Reporting reports, snapshots, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and plain text files show consecutive page numbers. You must select Consecutive Page Numbers in the book properties. If you do not select consecutive page numbers, then the page numbering resets for each document in the book. You cannot implement consecutive page numbers for embedded PDF files.

  • Financial Reporting reports, snapshots, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and plain text files show a total page count. For example, assume a report has three pages but the book's contents make 10 pages. If the <<PageCount()>> text function is used in the report, it shows 10 instead of three.

  • You can customize how plain text files are printed by modifying FR_TextTemplate.doc.
