About PDF Properties
You can add PDF Property settings to the Publishing Settings Library Template (PLT) and to the Assembly Specific Publishing Settings Library (APL) to define the PDF properties of the electronic published output.
In addition to the PLT and APL PDF property settings,
Ennov InSight enables you to create leaf-specific PDF property settings:
- While the APL and PLT PDF property settings are defined for the whole assembly, leaf PDF property settings are defined for an individual leaf element only.
- When importing or exporting an assembly, only APL PDF property settings are preserved. Any leaf-specific PDF property settings are automatically removed.
- Leaf PDF property settings are preserved in the duplicated leaf or folder.
- Adding or modifying leaf PDF property settings in the working assembly updates both working and publishing views.
- To use a specific property from the source document, set the PDF Property Source attribute to Use Source Document Property.
- If at least one PDF Property is defined, the submit.document.properties=true parameter in the insight.var is ignored.
Note: Due to the additional information that is processed when using PDF Properties, the time needed to complete publishing can be increased.
Leaf PDF properties are not available in:
- Approved, submitted, and sequence views.
- Publishing view of a locked assembly.
