ippdfglue This program stitches together PDF elements into a single page - elements such as Ads, folios, rules and/or whole pages for Page Pairing. It uses a parameter file in tables/form. This can be selected from the DF FipHdr file and defaults to PDF_GLUE.FIP Keywords for the parameter file are : ; comment line newname: (new name for the output file) default: the same as input supercede: yes/no Overwrite the output if it exists default: do not outque: output queue for the new file. default: spool/2go or -o switch doneque: done queue for the old file. default: none or the -d switch dest: Destination (as in sys/USERS) default: none extra-fiphdr: more fixed Fip Hdr fields to add to the file (before any new matched additions) default: none duplicate-output: make extra copies of the output default: one single copy only eg duplicate-output:PZ Here the FipHdr field PZ is checked and if the contents are 2 or more, the output is duplicated that many times Otherwise a single output file only is created. FipHdr field S3 holds the copy number - so it can be used to make a unique filename later on. script: script to run against the New file. default: none log-line: extra logging information for the Fip log default: none Logging is done at the end of each page EN is filename EP is path S1 MAY be the size S2 is the pagenumber of pages generated from this input file S3 is the number of this particular copy when multiple copies/duplicate-output are requested alias-name:(FipSeq) replacement string for each filename to include PM: display name PX: x pos PY: y pos PW: width PL: length PN: name optional-ext:(FipSeq) possible, option ext for the file option-ext:.pdf ie try both with and without force-pdf-version: (0-14) force thePDF version to be this 0 -> 9 for pdf 1.0 to pdf 1.9 10-14 for PDFx1 PDFx3 and PDFa default-media-area: (FipSeq to define 4 values of 0, 0, width, depth) Defaults for total area to be imaged - including white space around any imagae/bleed area default-image-area: (FipSeq to define 4 values of offset bottom x, offset bottom y, width, depth) default-bleed-area: (FipSeq to define 4 values of offset bottom x, offset bottom y, width, depth) Defaults for total area that can be imaged - the first 2 are the offset (pos) from the bottom left corner of the media area. These 2 are exactly the same thing. default-page-area: (FipSeq to define 4 values of offset bottom x, offset bottom y, width, depth) default-ad-area: (FipSeq to define 4 values of offset bottom x, offset bottom y, width, depth) default-trim-area: (FipSeq to define 4 values of offset bottom x, offset bottom y, width, depth) Defaults for normal area that can be imaged - the first 2 are the offset (pos) from the bottom left corner of the media area. These 3 are exactly the same thing. show-missing-ads: (yes/no) Display the name of the missing ad in the box default: yes missing-ad-comment: Replacement text/FipSeq for when the ad is missing default is just the name: missing-ad-comment:PM To use the comment field missing-ad-comment:PM - PF missing-colour: (C, Y, M, K) define the colour of background for any missing ad the 4 values are in the range 0-255 default is a tasty papayawhip : 0, 20, 100, 0 font-path: (path) Copy your user fonts into a directory and add it then to the list of search paths. Otherwise, only the 14 standard fonts can be used. This is ignored in the Windows version as all fonts MUST be put in the System Fonts folder use-standard-fonts: y/n use the 14 standard fonts (TimesRoman, Helvetica, etc) - yes or no - default is yes turn this off if you are ONLY using custom fonts. embed-fonts: y/n NO - turn this off if you do NOT want to embed the fonts in the file (for some reason !) default is YES default-font: (name of default font) default-font-name: (name) This should match exactly the PSname of the font Default is the first system font Default of defaults is 'Helvetica' replace-folio-string:(FipSeq) (Replacement string in FipSeq) There can be up to 10 replacements pick-tray: (yes/no) Pick tray by PDF size default - output device default print-scaling: (yes/no) Scale the output to fit default - output device default set-resolution: (number from 72 to 2048 dpi) set the output resolution default: 150 dpi use-transparency: (yes/no) transparency-colour: (hex value) transparency-color: (hex value) Set/configure transparency default is (for PDF 1.4 on) transparency is ON and rgb_white (0xFFFFFF) is the colour add-pdf-comment: (CommentKey) = (FipSeq) [optsep (|) opt (2ndKey) = (FipSeq) ] ... Add Comment to PDF page The structure is Key = Value. Multiple key=value may be added using a '|' as a separator. add-pdf-comment:Author=SA|Producer=Fip at pubo|Agfa-SpreadType=JUMP Note that user-defined keys should be defined as 7 bit ASCII string and the use of special characters like /, , #, or character codes higher than 127 should be avoided. The value of document info entry should not contain binary data. Where sections of FipHdr fields are required or changes to the output style, use keywords : fixed, partial, combie, optional, repeat, newdate and/or style. (see The SysAdmin manual for more information). They are normally specified : fixed:QZ 1234543 partial:QT ST,3,2,U,<,> combie:QY ep|na,(0000000)a option:QE ep,11,7,s repeat:QK XK,-,3 or repeat:QP PK,,4,#X style:QS XN,%.03d The FipHdr of the incoming file can also be used to change the PDF_FIPHDR:(yes/no) Add/Dont add the FipHdr to the output file default: add PDF_OUTQUE:(FipSeq) Output folder to override the -o Input switch default: /fip/spool/2go Input Parameters are (all optional) : Either -1 : path/filename for single shot default: spooled The input file is NOT deleted If this does NOT start with a '/', it is assumed relative to the current path. Or -i : input queue default: spool/2pdfglue If this does NOT start with a '/', it is assumed under spool. -B : show all valid BBoxes/Areas default: do not Use this for debugging troublesome Bounding Boxes ! Generally it is ONLY used with the -1 single file option as it is NEVER required for live working ! NOTE that Media and any other area set to the same are normally invisible as it is outside the main printed area by definition Fixed colours are used : - Media - black - Crop - purple - Bleed - cobalt blue - Trim - kermit green - Art/Ad/Edit - orange -d : done folder for the input file in FipSeq default: none If this does NOT start with a '/', it is assumed under spool. -F : display Font names, calls and success in matching default: spooled The display is to the screen (ie NOT the log file), so just run manually in a CMD or terminal on its own -L : do NOT log files in default: log -N : Name of output file default: input filename with some extra dedup numbers This option overwrites the parameter 'newname' -o : output queue default: spool/2go If this does NOT start with a '/', it is assumed under spool. -w : file wait for files arriving across a network. default: no wait -z : default parameter file in tables/setup default: tables/form/PDF_GLUE.FIP -v : print version number and exit ---NOTES--- Windows install --------------- - add dynapdf DLLs to some folder in your PATH environment - but not /fip/bin ! Normally this will be /fip/3rdparty or (in extremis) c:WINDOWS DataFile syntax --------------- The data file is a series of single lines witha TYPE in the first field. All fields are TAB separated. All Lines MUST have an end of line added : 'n' or 'rn' PAGE - start page and add FipHdr (usually FipHdr info about the page) syntax PAGE (tab) (FipHdr in FipSeq) eg PAGE (t) PP:PP#P0:ZZZMZG#PS:PS#PE:PE#PN:PN#PV:PV#PO:PO#PQ:PQ#PW:PW#PJ:PJ#PC:PC#PZ:PZ#PR:PR#n FIPHDR - extra FipHdr info syntax FIPHDR (tab) (FipHdr in FipSeq) eg FIPHDRt#PJ:PJ#ZN:ZN#ZW:ZW#JN:JN#JC:JC#JR:JR#n BANNER - some FipSeq for a Banner at the top of the page (usually above/below the Trim area_ syntax BANNER (tab) (Markup) eg BANNERt<q:z><m:8><q:z><j:8><q:z><n: Region code.JR-JR- c/d.JW-JW->T3<q:z><j:8><q:z><f:HelvBold><p:7><x:-30>.<q:z><ws:20>PDF-Page \PN Publication \PP Section \PS Edition \ZD-\ZT-\ZZ at \$d-\$m-\$e\$y \$h:\$n:\$b<q:z>.<q:r>$on MEDIAAREA - Complete printable/visable area : see also below for more on Areas CROPAREA - Crop area IMAGEAREA - Bleed or Image areas (these are equivalent) BLEEDAREA - Bleed or Image areas (these are equivalent) PAGEAREA - Page or Trim areas (these are equivalent) - usually page is to be cropped to this TRIMAREA - Page or Trim areas (these are equivalent) - usually page is to be cropped to this ADAREA - Ad or Editorial area syntax (xx)AREA (tab) - (tab) (x pos) (tab) (y pos) (tab) (width) (tab) (height) eg MEDIAAREAt-tC5tC6tC7tC8n MEDIAAREA - -75 -60 450 600n If different, always specify MEDIA first, then BLEED then TRIM ** NOTE the only mandatory one for PDF is the MEDIA area; so if you do NOT specify any areas, ippdfglue will generate one for you. FILE - Insert the contents of a PDF at this point MISS - Blank the area and put a missing element message in the bottom left corner syntax FILE (tab) (filepathname) (tab) x (tab) y (tab) width (tab) height eg MISS PDF_ADS/CLASSIFIED/03/2447727-470708063 478.35 234.99 281.34 198.43 MARKUP - Markup to generally add to a page eg with an 'adlist-insert-after-page' FIPSGML - all 3 are exactly the same FIPSMGL syntax MARKUP (tab) (Markup in FipSmgl/FipSeq) eg MARKUP <n: Region code.JR-JR- c/d.JW-JW->U0<font:GothamMedium><p:6><x:6>Y1Y2$on RULE - Draw a rule syntax RULE (tab) - (tab) x (tab) y (tab) width (tab) height eg RULE - 475.27 0.28 0.50 447.59 FOLIO - Place a folio file NOFOLIO - do NOT place a folio file - but trigger a startofpage syntax FOLIO (tab) - (tab) x (tab) y (tab) width (tab) height eg NOFOLIO - 0.00 0.00 759.69 1020.47 0.00 Example : PAGE PP:MC-NOR#P0:20131003#PS:CLA#PE:#PN:71#PV:63#PO:11#PQ:63#PW:#PJ:#PC:#PZ:2#PR:COURIER MEDIAAREA - -34 -42.5 827.69 1094.17 TRIMAREA - -34 -42.5 827.69 1094.17 ADAREA - 0 0 759.69 1020.47 BANNER <q:z><m:8><q:z><j:8><q:z><n: Region code.JR-N- c/d.JW--> FIPHDR #PJ:#ZN:October#ZW:Thursday#JN:63#JC:#JR:N#JT:#JU:#PC:#PO:11#FP:71#PN:71#PV:63#PQ:63#PX:1#PW:R#PG:FULL FOLIO - 0.00 0.00 759.69 1020.47 0.00 /fip/customer/folios_rm/MC-DEF-DEF-R.fip FILE PDF_Headings2PDF/4/025-6x6 2.13 1003.46 564.09 17.01 FILE PDF_ADS/CLASSIFIED/03/2447696-470718516 1.77 0.00 277.80 481.89 FILE PDF_ADS/CLASSIFIED/03/2447739-470723954 288.78 315.21 277.80 181.42 FILE PDF_ADS/CLASSIFIED/03/2448075-470870481 287.01 99.50 281.34 184.25 MISS PDF_Headings2PDF/4/600-3x6 288.78 293.10 277.80 17.01 MISS PDF_Headings2PDF/4/426-3x6 0.1 BBoxes ------ There are 4. Which are in order of size (decending) : - MEDIAAREA - complete printable area with gutters - this will be the actual dimensions of the whole PDF. - CROPAREA - Crop (optional) - BLEEDAREA - Bleed (optional) - TRIMAREA - Ad/Ed text area plus Folios (can also be called the PAGEAREA) (optional) - ADAREA - basic Ad and/or editorial page - this is mainly for informational purposes only and is not really used. (optional) Lower levels MUST be wholly contained by those above All take 4 variable x, y, wid ht - where x,y are the lower left corner It is an excellent idea to have the x,y of the TRIMAREA as 0,0 so that all ads, text elements, headings, fillers etc - all included files can be placed without any maths to calculate the offset !! In this case, if gutters are required, use a neg value for x,y in the MEDIAAREA (and possibly BLEEDAREA) eg MEDIAAREA - -34 -42.5 827.69 1094.17 BLEEDAREA - -34 -42.5 827.69 1094.17 PAGEAREA - 0 0 759.69 1020.47 ADAREA - 0 0 759.69 1020.47 Note that the width and height of the MediaArea is the whole surface area - any miscalculations will expand/contract the overall PDF size. Note that on a Linux, you can use 'pdfinfo' to check the actual Areas/Boxes : pdfinfo -box Classfied_Apr20_p30.pdf Folios ------ - There are a few builtins for folios for <z: (passthru)> gsave - maps to a PDF save (ie same effect as EPS) grestore - maps to a PDF restore (ie same effect as EPS) - The maximum allowed nesting level of save/restore graphics state operators in PDF is 28. setcmykcolor - maps EPS setcmykcolour 0.00 to 1.00 to the same PDF colour for CMYK : 0 to 255 setgray - maps EPS setgray to a PDF tint (0->1 is stretched to a tint of 255->0) fip_pdf_circle - one parameter = radius in points use <x: xlead> and <w: ws> to position exactly the bullseye beforehand use setcmykcolor to set the colour beforehand fip_pdf_chord - p1 and p2 - width and height of containing box, p3 and p4 - starting and ending angle use <x: xlead> and <w: ws> to position exactly the start point beforehand use setcmykcolor to set the colour beforehand rotate - Note that EPS is counter-clockwise but PDF is clockwise : so the neg has the opposite effect ! use <x: xlead> and <w: ws> to position exactly the rotate point (esp for QR and QC/QM) Version Control ;002l 28sep13 ;a added embed-fonts: y/n and default-font-name ;c 7apr14 bugette with zero chrs ;d 12apr14 rotate added ;e 14apr14 added MARKUP properly ;f-h 29apr14 added -N for default newname ;i-k 2may14 added -B to draw all the (valid) bounding boxes ;l 5aug14 default in BOX means zero NOT the last ;001z 19apr11 folios/text version ;d-e added missingAd ;f 02jun11 rotated ad bug ;g letterspc ;h logging font errors ;i-k added -F, note/include pdf ;l for Folio, use name first and aliasName second ;m added default-font and bugette with WS - always need a new element ;n-o duplicate-output added ;p DrawCircle and DrawChord added ;q-t added replacement of pass thru ;u bug with fonts not resetting at start of line ;v-w redid styles and passthrus and blocks and eles ;x 2apr13 added transparency ;yz 5aug13 added Comments and allow-std-fonts:y/n ;000q 10feb10 original version ;h rules better ;i added alias-name ;j-l added FipHdr, pdfVersion, pdfTitle ;m-p added text/folio etc (copyright) 2014 and previous years FingerPost Ltd.
