Principle of the pdf Help
The pdf Help needs the following components in the Help file directory:
1. Call file, e.g. PG_GR.TXT, with the parameters
<pdf file name> <ID> <search string> for each call
2. Associated pdf file
The Help function is invoked as follows:
• Start Adobe Acrobat Reader (contained in the control)
• Jump to page number (define via index in the document)
• Search for keyword (search function in the Adobe software)
Procedure:
1. Define and generate the jumps in the Help document (e.g. using the standard
index function of DTP systems)
2. Save the jump file as a text file
3. For Programming Help only: Assign ID numbers to the programming
commands
4. Generate the pdf file
Result:
• A call file (text file) with the parameters
<pdf file name> <ID> <search string> for each call
• One or more associated pdf file(s)
Note
For multiple jumps to a topic, each page reference must be written
on a new line.
Example: 840d_pg.pdf 44 155
840d_pg.pdf 45 180
840d_pg.pdf 46 199
Tip:
In cases where the index is large, the call file can be generated automatically using
Microsoft Excel:
• Insert "index file" (*.txt) in Excel
• Insert a column
• Enter the name of the PDF file in the first line.
• Execute "Edit - Fill".
• Copy data and
• Save the file as "txt".
The following syntax should remain:
<pdf file name> <ID> <search string>
840d_pg.pdf 44 155
