Setting PDF Custom Properties from Structured FrameMaker

[Michael Pearson]

Hi Jasmine,

 

You can do this with a "Postscript Code" text frame containing a pdfmark operator. A "Postscript Code" text frame is just a regular text frame that has the "Postscript Code" property set from the Object Properties dialog. When that checkbox is selected, any text in the frame is treated as if it were postscript code. Here is sample code that should get you started:

 

/pdfmark where {pop} {userdict /pdfmark /cleartomark load put} ifelse
[ /Custom_Acrobat_Property_Name (This is the value of the custom property.)
/DOCINFO pdfmark
 

HTH,

--Mike

> My setup is TCS1 on Windows XP (Frame 8.0, structured, with Adobe 9.0 Pro Extended). I need to set up custom properties in the PDF (Document Properties > Custom Tab). I want to create these properties as attributes in the Frame book file so that I can automatically write them to the PDF.
