Engage PDF Personalisation and Print Products
The TOCBuilder tool allows you to create a Table of Contents which becomes part of the PDF file by adding the required number of pages. Each entry within the Table of Contents can shows the appropriate page for that entry and each entry has a link. The plug-in uses the bookmark hierarchy to construct the TOC. TOCBuilder Can be used in conjunction with Bookmarker to generate the bookmarks or with bookmarks that are already present.
Bookmarker creates PDF bookmarks from text defined by the text attributes in your PDF documents.
You can use the Text Select tool from the Acrobat toolbar to highlight a sample of text. Bookmarker then uses the attributes of the selected text to define a particular bookmark level. Bookmarks can be nested to any number of levels.
Impress Pro is an Acrobat plug-in that enables one or more text impressions (text stamps) to be added to a range of pages in single or multiple PDF files. Impress Pro contains all of the features of Mapsoft Impress (see below), with the addition of being able to run over batches of PDF files and the ability to set multiple impressions at the same time. In addition, security, open defaults and document information can all be set.
Impress enables text impressions to be stamped to a range of pages in a PDF file. This can be set either as a watermark which is on a layer below all of the existing text and images or above where it can be used for headers and footers, page numbering etc. Variables can be set to define page numbering, total number of pages and date and time.
MaskIt allows you to erase areas of content from a PDF document. Use the MaskIt tool from the toolbar to draw a marquee, then select whether you want to remove content inside or outside that defined area, and the content is removed.
DogEars is a publishing tool for use with Adobe® Acrobat® for marking pages within a document so that you can quickly flip back to them when you require. DogEars is named after the turned over corners of a page that are used to bookmark a page in a book.
Flattener allows you to flatten interactive parts, like navigation buttons and forms, plus mark-up into PDF documents. Not only can this dramatically reduce the size of PDF files, it also means you can always view and print mark-up, regardless of the platform you are using. Enhancements added for V1.6 ensure the original content of the PDF files need never be hidden by the flattened mark-up.
MediaSizer converts the media size (paper size) of your document without altering its content, so that, for example, changing between US Letter and European A4 media becomes a simple task. Custom and standard media sizes can be specified
Using ContentScaler, you can scale the entire contents of selected pages of a PDF document by a specified percentage. Amongst other applications, this tool can be used in conjunction with MediaSizer when the margins are too narrow after converting from US Letter to A4.
DocuMerger merges template PDF files with the existing document content, specifying which page you want to merge. This tool allows you, for example, to apply company letterheads to PDF content where pre-printed stationary is normally used and you want to archive the PDF file.
ImagePlacer is a very powerful publishing tool which allows you to stamp a graphical image onto specified pages within a PDF document. The image can be placed at a specific position, scaled and transparency can be set.
