PDF Bookmark creation: length of bookmark entries truncated

PDF Bookmark creation: length of bookmark entries truncated

Hello,

I have experimented with creating PDF bookmark entries.

Arbortext Editor truncates the length of the bookmark entries
after 65 characters.

There is no difference, if the PDF bookmarks are automatically
created or created by the stylesheet (Direct PDF feature).

Does anybody know how to change this behavior?

Is this a feature or known bug?

Thanks

Try creating an ACL in Publishing Engine's .../custom/init directory named
(or whatever name works for you in your environment, as long as it's an
ACL):

pdf_bookmark_clip.acl


In it, place the following command:

$main::pdf_bookmark_clip=128


Restart PE and see if that fixes your problem.

I think this was a bug that got fixed. But I can't remember the versioning
particulars. And I could be wrong, it may have been a feature all along and
we just had to get directed to the setting.

Hello Paul,

thank you very much.

It works for both the automatic bookmark generation and
the stylesheet driven bookmark generation.

By the way I tried this on the client side publishing.

Great! Glad it solved your problem.

As a side note...


If 128 characters isn't enough, the command can take a value up to 255. I think that's the maxium value, though.
