Extended bookmarks
An extended bookmark is a transparent PDF note, which is usually visible from the
“Comment” section of the completed PDF only. Extended bookmarks are only used with
the Dispatch function of VIPO.
Extended bookmarks can contain information up to 64K in size, regular bookmarks
contain up to 256 characters. The contents of the extended bookmark is:
• appended to the contents of the regular bookmark
• always linked to a regular bookmark
• created after the regular bookmark
Several extended bookmarks may be created in a sub-document (between two
consecutive regular bookmarks).
This syntax is used to create an extended bookmark:
(
bookmark contents
) [ /EX
opt1 opt2
] BOOKMARK
Where:
/EX
tells BOOKMARK to create an “extended bookmark” rather than a regular bookmark.
opt1
is an integer that tells the VIPO splitter how to handle the child PDF file:
• 0 — Do not produce the child PDF file
• 1— Produce the child PDF file but do not include bookmark in it.
• 2— Produce the child PDF file and include bookmark in it. This is the default.
All extended bookmarks within a sub-document must carry the same opt1 value
opt2
is an integer that tells the VIPO splitter how to handle the extended bookmark:
• 0 — Do nothing with this extended bookmark
• 1 — Merge the extended bookmark with the associated regular bookmark (for
index file processing), but do not include it in the child PDF
• 2— Merge the extended bookmark with the associated regular bookmark (for
index file processing) and include it in the child PDF
opt2=0 can be used to insert comments or instructions in the main PDF file present
only in this file.
The combination opt1=0 and opt2=2 is irrelevant. It will act as opt2=1.
This example creates an extended bookmark that instructs the VIPO splitter to produce
a child PDF that does not contain the extended bookmark. However, this extended
bookmark will be included in the VIPO index file and, with appropriate VIPO Dispatch and
mail server settings, will trigger an e-mail to John Smith with the child PDF attached.
