Creating enhanced PDF documents

The AFP to PDF transform can create PDF documents that are easier to view and navigate. The transform can:

• Create PDF bookmarks to help readers navigate through PDF documents. Adobe Reader displays PDF bookmarks in its navigation pane. For example, if the AFP document contains a table of contents, the transform converts it to a set of PDF bookmarks. For more information, see the description of the AOP_INDEX environment variable.
• Create PDF links to let readers jump to another location in a PDF document or to a website. For example, if the AFP document contains references to other locations, the transform converts them to PDF links. If the AFP document contains references to websites, the transform converts them to URLs that link to the websites. For more information, see the description of the AOP_LINKS environment variable.
• Optimize PDF documents for fast viewing from the web. This means that Adobe Reader can display the first page of the PDF document before the entire document has been loaded from a website or a network. For more information, see the description of the AOP_LINEARIZE environment variable.
• Rotate PDF documents for easier viewing. For example, some pages (such as those that contain tables) might require the PDF document to be turned sideways to be read. You can select auto-rotation so that each page is rotated in the same direction as the majority of characters on the page. For more information, see the description of th eAOP_ROTATE_PDF environment variable.
