8.6.1  Setting PDF Properties

You can set PDF properties through the 'PDF Generation' page of the Enterprise Manager. Select 'Presentation' > 'PDF' on the navigation tree under the Server tab to access this page.

Figure 59. PDF Generation

 

Since PDF generation is built into the report engine, there is normally no need for replets to access the PDF generator API directly. The following sections describe the properties available through the 'PDF Generation' page. See Appendix B.9, PDF and Font Properties, for more information on PDF properties.

Select the 'Font Mapping' node to change the default base-14 font mapping.

Embed PDF: If 'Embed PDF in Browser' is enabled, when the user exports a report or Viewsheet to PDF format from within the User Portal, the PDF file will be immediately displayed by the browser (if Adobe Reader is installed), and the 'Open/Save' download dialog box will not be displayed.

Open Bookmark: If 'Open Bookmark' is set to true, then all the generated PDFs will have bookmarks displayed immediately upon opening them in Adobe Acrobat.

'Open Bookmark' and 'Open Thumbnail' are mutually exclusive properties. When both are set to true, 'Open Bookmark' takes pri­ority and only book­marks are displayed when opening the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat.

Open Thumbnail: If 'Open Thumbnail' is set to true, then all the generated PDFs will have thumbnails displayed immediately upon opening them in Adobe Acrobat.

Keep Hyperlinks in PDF: Setting PDF option 'Keep Hyperlinks in PDF' to 'false' will turn off hyperlink generation and speed up the PDF generation process. Otherwise, the hyperlinks will be created in the resulting PDF file.
