Hello All,


I have been able to get PDF bookmarks to show when using File->Compose->PDF File locally but not when I do File->Print Composed from a PE Server. Any advice would be appreciated.


In top level eic:


<att>
<specval attname="print-only" attloc="system-var" attval="#ANY">
<charsubset>
<usetext<br/>source='!<atidmd:documentmetadata source="atend"><atidmd:docview mode="bookmarks"&lt;br"/> fit="fitPage" destination="></atidmd:docview>
</atidmd:documentmetadata>!' placemnt="before"></usetext>
</charsubset>

    Short on time, so this will be brief and just pointers to thing to look
    into and/or report back here:

    I believe Print Composed PDF Bookmark support was withdrawn. I do not
    remember with what version. You must be doing a Compose PDF. Whether you
    are using Distiller, the Acrobat server version, or PDF Direct (or Direct
    PDF ... the pdflib built into PE after a certain version) may also matter.
    Your DCF may also need to specify the right things. PDF Bookmarks require
    DIV status in the DCF, I think.

    So:
    What version of Publishing Engine?
    Acrobat/distiller/pdflib?
    What does your PDF say about the elements' DIV status?

    Hi Paul,


    Thanks for responding. We are using Arbortext Editor 5.4 M170. I do not know what DIV status is, how do I find that information?


    I went to Help -> About -> PE Configuration and it says
    Adobe Distiller Installed
    Print Engine Default: fosi
    Use Distiller for PDF generation: no


    But when we do File->Print Composed we are sending it to an Adobe PDF print driver.


    Also, this is a large file. If I try to do Compose->PDF, I get a java heap error. PTC pointed me to knowledge base article Document - CS43917 for the java heap error.

    PTC just confirmed that to see bookmarks, you have to do File->Compose->PDF.

    With respect to your DCF (which may or may not need tweaking depending on
    whether Compose PDF solves the problem), elements are defined as div in the
    <elementoptions> tag. A child element of ElementOptions must be declared
    for each element that needs to be a div. It look something like this:

    <elementoptions>
    <elementoption category="division" element="elementnamehere"/">
    <elementoption category="division" element="anotherelementnamehere"/">
    <elementoption category="division" element="etcetcetc"/">
    </elementoptions>
