Use PageMaker to create PDF files

Using Pagemaker, you can create an advanced PDF file that can be used for convenient directory navigation.

first step;

1. First of all, you must install Adobe's PageMaker 6.5, which is a tool for making PDF! It is a document layout editing tool for Adobe company. It has powerful functions and can produce beautifully illustrated documents with typesetting. It is suitable for large-scale document typesetting and printing. Exporting PDF files is just a small branch of its many functions. I will now grasp this point and use it to create beautiful PDF files. At the same time, it must be noted that when installing PageMaker 6.5, AcrobatDistiller must be in the custom installation options. The key to its function is to convert PS files to PDF files.

2. Then, you must have a PostScript printer for PageMaker. The printer driver must include a PPD file. (The PPD file provides information about the user's PostScript printer. It includes a list of the printer's own fonts, paper size, optimized screen, and resolution capabilities. This information is provided by the printer manufacturer, and it reflects the most common configuration of this device. .) If you do not have PPD file support, you must find the manufacturer to upgrade your printer program. Having said so much nonsense, think about that friend who went to buy a PostScript printer? Does n’t it work without a printer? Obviously there is a way! In fact, the solution is very simple. (This is a shortcut I took a long time to research!) You can find a printer driver that supports PostScript in the new hardware installation of windows98, and install it on your system! You do n’t even need to have Any printer !! But what kind of printers support PostScript? Tell you! KODAK series will do. (I used KODAKColorEasePSPrinter).

Second step;

Well, ready for the first step, you can start making PDF files! For the sake of simplicity and clarity of the examples, I will not add too much text and patterns in the examples. In fact, the operation of adding text patterns requires your proficient operation of PageMaker, and its operation is not too complicated, and it is similar to other typesetting programs. I will focus on how to create a more complex file that contains multiple interfaces and can be navigated by creating a directory.

1 Start PageMaker, file--new--the following interface appears; this is the page setting interface for text. Note that I set the number of pages in the file to 5 pages, and the start page code is 1. This is more important. When generating a PDF file, the start page must be 1, so as not to cause coding confusion.

2. Then you can edit the documents you need in PageMaker's editing interface. The editing function of PageMaker is very powerful. You can insert frames of various sizes at any position on the page. And arbitrarily move to a random position. You can easily insert graphics, documents, links and even QuickTime format animations in various formats. How to make the most of PageMaker's powerful functions to make a beautiful file depends entirely on your artistic ability. I will not introduce the specific operation of PageMaker one by one, and friends who need it can refer to the relevant instructions. Let me talk about our specific problem-how to create a text with a catalog index. Now, for convenience, we have created a document with five pages. We vacated the first page as a directory guide page. Suppose we start editing the document from the second page. We first select the second page, draw a rectangular frame with the area tool, and then use the text input tool to position in the frame and enter the text 1LEVEL. Then select the rectangle as a whole, copy one, and paste it on the third, fourth, and fifth pages respectively. Finally, edit the text boxes and change them to the corresponding titles. After the title is edited, you can insert various texts, graphics and even animations you need in other places, depending on your personal preferences and needs.

3. Next is the key to the design of the entire index directory !!! Our purpose is to automatically generate a directory that can be hyperlinked. Now we will set it up. First select type--paragraph to set paragraph attributes. Note that you must select "Includeintableofcontents" where the mouse points, and allow it to be added to the directory (emphasis!). Then we select type → definestyles to edit a paragraph style. You can design a new style according to your requirements for the title paragraph, or you can edit a new style. The most important thing is to be sure to select the paragraph option when editing, the same choice "Includeintableofcontents" (emphasis). Finally, we need to select each title box in turn. Note that after inserting a text editing input point in the title box, select type--style-"the paragraph style you edited". (For convenience, I chose Handle uniformly.)

4. Now we can automatically generate the title directory! Select Utilities--CreateTOC (CreatetableofContent). In the following dialog, select the properties of the directory. You can define the name of the table of contents and whether or not to indicate the page number of the title. We selected Pagenumberafterentry and compiled the page number after the directory index. Select the first page and place the table of contents in the appropriate place. If nothing goes wrong, you should be able to see the directory as shown below. (Okay, our editing work is over here, remember to archive! You can take a break, drink some water, and then go to the next section to complete the output of the PDF file.

third step;

You're done! Before outputting the PDF text, you can set the properties of the printer, which will not be introduced one by one. Select file → export--adobePDF, you will see the following dialog box; here you can set the PDF file properties and output control, the options are relatively simple, mostly related to the font, control and print page properties, you can Needs to be set. We selected includedownloadablefonts to allow included fonts to be downloaded. Select distillnow to convert immediately. Select viewPDFusing, specify what to use to open the generated PDF text to browse, here we set it to adobeacrobat4.0 After setting, click export to start conversion. PageMaker will automatically convert the edited page into a postscript PS file, then start distiller to convert the PS file into a PDF file, and then automatically open the generated PDF file to browse. You can see the effect of the generated file. A PDF text with a complete catalog index is generated. Click the directory in the index window or browse window, 1level will link to the corresponding 2 pages !! 1, 2, 3! Convenient and fast, a more complex PDF text is ready. How about it, catalogue index, complete function, different from others!
