In-Process Links
In-process links are content that is approved and finalized; they cannot be directly modified in the DMS. In-process links can be reused between documents and submissions/regions as well as automatically reconciled between document versions.
- Created in a final, non-editable PDF
- Retargeted in a final or draft document
Calyx RIM enables you to insert, modify, and delete in-process links and bookmarks in documents that are assigned to assembly leafs from Calyx RIM. Calyx RIM uses a database-centric approach to manage both lifecycle links and links found in documents assigned to an assembly.
Calyx RIM also enables you to link to a leaf, document, or a bookmark of a document from the previous sequence.
Link to a document in a previous sequence is not updated if there is a newer copy of target document in current assembly. If target is not valid, links become broken and do not appear in the output. It reflects in Link Inspector, thereby allowing to select an appropriate target.
When creating an in-process link it is possible to restrict the presence of the in-process link to an application. Not imposing any restriction makes the in-process links appear for all copies of source document in the system.
After a document is assigned to a leaf in an assembly, the linking information is extracted, stored, and manipulated in a secure database. Calyx RIM publishes a temporary rendition (called an in-process rendition) of each document in PDF format. You can use this viewable copy of the rendition prior to publication to create new links or modify links created during the authoring stage and target them to other locations in the current submission.
When editing links in an in-process document rendition, only changes to links are stored in Calyx RIM. While Acrobat enables you to change other items (text, bookmarks, etc.), they are not saved.
