The PDF generator is available and to be licensed as a separate product. It makes it possible to create PDF files from CMS folders and documents.
After the installation and
configuration of the generator, the file menu of
the Content Navigator contains a corresponding menu command. To create a PDF file, select
a file or a folder with the html name extension in the folder hierarchy and
choose the menu comand mentioned. The PDF file is created as a file of the
resource type in the same folder as the source file. To its link list field
pdfSource
a link to the source folder is added. If required, add
pdfSource
to the file format used for PDF files.
If an existing PDF file is to be updated, the menu command is labelled correspondingly.
