For additional information about using the TABBED_PDF plugin, refer to Tabbed PDF Plugin<\/a><\/p>\n The TABBED_PDF plugin is used to merge all multipage PDF files to form a single tabbed PDF file, based on the placeholder component that you define with the plugin.<\/p>\n This plugin merges all incoming, multipage PDF files.<\/p>\n This plugin creates a single, bookmarked PDF file in the Export module folder, as configured for the batch class.<\/p>\n Transact Release 4.5.0.0 further enhances the TABBED_PDF plugin. When exporting multiple different document types, such as invoices and purchase orders, you can specify which document type should come first, second, and last in the TABBED_PDF plugin, and in the resulting PDF file to be exported.<\/p>\n This capability is available with the export-script.properties<\/strong> file. This file is located at [Ephesoft_Directory]\\<\/em>SharedFolders\\property\\export.script.properties<\/p>\n Release 4.5.0.0 also resolves an observed error with the Folder Management<\/strong> screen that relates to the TABBED_PDF plugin.<\/p>\n In some circumstances, the TABBED_PDF plugin would create an error when executed from the Folder Management screen:<\/p>\n This issue has been resolved for Release 4.5.0.0.<\/p>\n Perform these steps to add the TABBED_PDF plugin to a batch class.<\/p>\n 1.

Complete the fields on this screen. Required fields are indicated with an asterisk.<\/p>\n ON \u2014 enables the plugin<\/p>\n OFF (default) \u2014 disables the plugin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n [Ephesoft_Directory]<\/em>\\SharedFolders\\tabbed-pdf-export-folder<\/p>\n You can change this location if desired. Enter a new path if you do not wish to use the default location.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n YES<\/strong> \u2014 If this switch is set to YES, this plugin will create the document tabs in the PDF file on the basis of order or priority of document types, which are defined in the export-script.properties file.<\/p>\n NO<\/strong> (default) \u2014 If this switch is set to NO, this plugin will create document tabs in the PDF on the basis of documents present in batch.xml<\/strong>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n [Ephesoft_Directory]<\/em>\\SharedFolders\\property\\export-script.properties<\/p>\n You can change this location if desired.<\/p>\n You can specify which document type should come first, second, and last in the TABBED_PDF plugin. This capability is available with the export-script.properties<\/strong> file.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite<\/p>\n You can adjust these parameters if desired.<\/p>\n -q<\/strong>: Quiet startup: suppress normal startup messages, and also do the equivalent of -dQUIET.<\/p>\n -dBATCH<\/strong>: Causes Ghostscript to exit after processing all files named on the command line, rather than going into an interactive loop reading PostScript commands. Equivalent to putting -c quit <\/strong>at the end of the command line.<\/p>\n -dNOPAUSE<\/strong>: Disables the prompt and pause at the end of each page. Normally one should use this (along with -dBATCH) when producing output on a printer or to a file; it also may be desirable for applications where another program is “driving” Ghostscript.<\/p>\n Additional Ghost script information is available at the following website:<\/p>\nTABBED_PDF Plugin Overview, Transact 4.5.0.0<\/h2>\n
