Embed files in PDF

 

When you create PDF files with InterForm400, you can also chose to embed one or more files within the PDF file - if you have purchased the Advanced PDF Module. You can also test this module if you activate a test code for InterForm400. No extra installation is needed.

 

The embed functionality can e.g. be used for including terms of delivery or you can chose to include all referenced invoices in a statement PDF file, commercial offers especially directed to specific customers or e.g. images of each article in the detail lines (e.g. kitchen elements). The embedded files can be of any type e.g. PDF, Excel, Word, images etc. If you embed the same file more than once, then it will only be included once - to keep the resulting file as small as possible.

 

Each embed definition can insert these types of files:

 

1.A fixed file for the document/spooled file.

2.A dynamic file which is found via header information found in a fixed line and interval of positions on the first page of the spooled file.

3.Several dynamic files which are found via information from detail lines (and header lines of page 1) in all the pages of the spooled file.

 

Below we will mainly describe the setup of an embed definition and an example of how to use it.

 

If you want to embed files for detail lines in the spooled file, then you need to define a remap window for the relevant lines and positions in your overlay(s). These remaps can be placed in conditioned overlays. InterForm400 is searching for these remaps in order to find out where to place the link to the embedded file. This requirement is described under option 9. Variables in detail lines.

 

The embed definitions can be used in:

1.The MRGSPLFPDF command

2.The email finish definitions

3.PDF file naming finishing definitions.
