+It might appear that it is a fairly simple matter to

+commonly known as PDF, using
+.CW groff ) GNU\~Troff\~(
+as the document formatter.
+Indeed,
+.CW groff 's
+default output format is the native \*[Adobe]\~\*[PostScript] format,
+which PDF producers such as \*[Adobe] \*[Acrobat] \*[Distiller ,]
+or GhostScript, expect as their input format.
+Thus, the PDF production process would seem to entail simply
+formatting the document source with
+.CW groff ,
+to produce a \*[PostScript] version of the document,
+which can subsequently be processed by \*[Acrobat] \*[Distiller]
+or GhostScript, to generate the final PDF document.
+.LP
+For many PDF production requirements,
+the production cycle described above may be sufficient.
+However, this is a limited PDF production method,
+in which the resultant PDF document represents no more than
+an on screen image of the printed form of the document, if
+.CW groff 's
+\*[PostScript] output were printed directly.

+these default initial view settings may be overridden,
+using the

+To resolve this paradox, the

+.LP
+The document view specification,

+is established at the time when the outline entry is created.
+However, rather than requiring that each individual use of the

+the actual specification assigned to each entry is derived from
+a generalized specification defined in the string
+.CW PDFBOOKMARK.VIEW ,
+together with the setting of the numeric register
+.CW PDFHREF.VIEW.LEADING ,
+which determine the effective view specification as follows:\(en

+If desired, the view specification may be changed, by redefining the string

+.CW PDFHREF.VIEW.LEADING .
+Any alternative definition for

+.LP
+Note the use of the register
+.CW PDFPAGE.Y ,
+in the default definition of
+.CW PDFBOOKMARK.VIEW
+above.
+This register is computed by

+but
+.EM not

+.LP
+Since
+.CW PDFPAGE.Y
+is computed relative to the

+of the PDF output page,
+it is important to ensure that the page length specified to
+.CW troff
+correctly matches the size of the logical PDF page.
+This is most effectively ensured,
+by providing
+.EM identical
+page size specifications to
+.CW groff ,
+.CW grops
+and to the \*[PostScript] to PDF converter employed,

+.XN -N outline-folding -- Folding the Outline to Conceal Less Significant Headings

+When a document incorporates many subheadings,

+The
+.CW pdfmark
+macros support this capability,
+through the setting of the
+.CW PDFOUTLINE.FOLDLEVEL
+register.
+This register should be set to the number of heading levels
+which it is desired to show in expanded form, in the
+.EM initial
+document outline display;
+all subheadings at deeper levels will still be added to the outline,
+but will not become visible until the outline branch containing them is expanded.
+'ne 5
+For example, the setting used in this document:

+\&.\e" Initialize the outline view to show only three heading levels,
+\&.\e" with additional subordinate level headings folded.
+\&.\e"
+\&.nr PDFOUTLINE.FOLDLEVEL 3
+.DE
+.QE
+.LP
+results in only the first three levels of headings being displayed
+in the document outline,
+.EM until
+the reader chooses to expand the view,
+and so reveal the lower level headings in any outline branch.
+.LP
+The initial default setting of
+.CW PDFOUTLINE.FOLDLEVEL ,
+if the document author does not choose to change it,
+is 10,000.
+This is orders of magnitude greater than the maximum heading level
+which is likely to be used in any document;
+thus the default behaviour will be to show document outlines fully expanded,
+to display all headings defined,
+at all levels within each document.
+.LP
+The setting of
+.CW PDFOUTLINE.FOLDLEVEL
+may be changed at any time;
+however, the effect of each such change may be difficult to predict,
+since it is applied not only to outline entries which are defined
+.EM after
+the setting is changed,
+but also to any entries which remain in the outline cache,
+.EM at
+this time.
+Therefore, it is recommended that
+.CW PDFOUTLINE.FOLDLEVEL
+should be set
+.EM once ,
+at the start of each document;
+if it
+.EM is

+.XN -N multipart-outline -- Outlines for Multipart Documents
+.LP
+When a document outline is created, using the
+.CW pdfhref
+macro, each reference mark is automatically assigned a name,
+composed of a fixed stem followed by a serially generated numeric qualifier.
+This ensures that, for each single part document, every outline reference
+has a uniquely named destination.
+.LP
+As the overall size of the PDF document increases,
+it may become convenient to divide it into smaller,
+individually formatted \*[PostScript] components,
+which are then assembled, in the appropriate order,
+to create a composite PDF document.
+While this strategy may simplify the overall process of creating and
+editing larger documents, it does introduce a problem in creating
+an overall document outline,
+since each individual \*[PostScript] component will be assigned
+duplicated sequences of \(lqbookmark\(rq names,
+with each name ultimately referring to multiple locations in the composite document.
+To avoid such reference naming conflicts, the
+.CW pdfhref
+macro allows the user to specify a \(lqtag\(rq,
+which is appended to the automatically generated \(lqbookmark\(rq name;
+this may be used as a discriminating mark, to distinguish otherwise
+similarly named destinations, in different sections of the composite document.
+.LP
+To create a \(lqtagged\(rq document outline,
+the syntax for invocation of the
+.CW pdfhref
+macro is modified, by the inclusion of an optional \(lqtag\(rq specification,
+.EM before
+the nesting level argument, i.e.
+.QP
+.fam C
+.B ".pdfhref O"
+.B -T \& [
+.I tag >] <
+.I level > <
+.I "descriptive text ..."
+.LP
+The optional
+.CWI tag > <
+argument may be composed of any characters of the user's choice;
+however, its initial character
+.EM "must not"
+be any decimal digit, and ideally it should be kept short
+\(em one or two characters at most.
+.LP
+By employing a different tag in each section,
+the user can ensure that \(lqbookmark\(rq names remain unique,
+throughout all the sections of a composite document.
+For example, when using the
+.CW spdf.tmac
+macro package, which adds
+.CW pdfmark
+capabilities to the standard
+.CW ms
+package,
+.XR using-spdf ), (
+the table of contents is collected into a separate \*[PostScript] section
+from the main body of the document.
+In the \(lqbody\(rq section, the document outline is \(lquntagged\(rq,
+but in the \(lqTable\~of\~Contents\(rq section, a modified version of the
+.CW TC
+macro adds an outline entry for the start of the \(lqTable\~of\~Contents\(rq,
+invoking the
+.CW pdfhref
+macro as
+.QP
+.CW ".pdfhref O -T T 1 \e\e*[TOC]"
+.LP
+to tag the associated outline destination name with the single character suffix,
+.CW T \(rq. \(lq

+.NH 3
+.XN Delegation of the Outline Definition
+.LP
+Since the most common use of a document outline
+is to provide a quick method of navigating through a document,
+using active \(lqhypertext\(rq links to chapter and section headings,
+it may be convenient to delegate the responsibility of creating the outline
+to a higher level macro, which is itself used to
+define and format the section headings.
+This approach has been adopted in the
+.CW spdf.tmac
+package, to be described later,
+.XR using-spdf ). (
+.LP
+When such an approach is adopted,
+the user will rarely, if ever, invoke the
+.CW pdfhref
+macro directly, to create a document outline.
+For example, the structure and content of the outline for this document
+has been exclusively defined, using a combination of the
+.CW NH
+macro, from the
+.CW ms
+package, to establish the structure, and the
+.CW XN
+macro from
+.CW spdf.tmac ,
+to define the content.

+.LP
+Typically, when a PDF document contains

+.LP
+It is incumbent on the user,
+if employing automatic formatting of the displayed reference,
+.XR set-format ), (
+to ensure that an appropriate reference definition
+is created for the reference destination,
+and is included in the reference map for the document

+.LP
+Irrespective of whether a
+.CW pdfhref
+reference is placed using the
+.CWB L \& \& \(rq \(lq
+operator, or the
+.CWB W \& \& \(rq \(lq
+operator, there may be occasions when the resulting link
+does function as expected.
+A number of scenarios, which are known to be troublesome,
+are described below.
+.
+.NH 4
+.XN -N page-trap -- Links with a Page Transition in the Active Region
+.LP
+When a link is placed near the bottom of a page,
+it is possible that its active region, or \(lqhot\(hyspot\(rq,
+may extend on to the next page.
+In this situation, a page trap macro is required
+to intercept the page transition, and to restart the mapping of
+the \(lqhot\(hyspot\(rq boundary on the new page.
+.LP
+The
+.CW pdfmark
+macro package includes a suitable page trap macro, to satisfy this requirement.
+However, to avoid pre\(hyempting any other requirement the user may have for
+a page transition trap, this is
+.EM not
+installed as an active page trap,
+unless explicitly requested by the user.
+.LP
+To enable proper handling of page transitions,
+which occur within the active regions of reference links,
+the user should:\(en
+.QS
+.nr ITEM 0 1
+.IP \n+[ITEM].
+Define a page transition macro, to provide whatever features may be required,
+when a page transition occurs \(em e.g.\& printing footnotes,
+adding page footers and headers, etc.
+This macro should end by setting the output position at the correct
+vertical page offset, where the printing of running text is to restart,
+following the page transition.
+.IP \n+[ITEM].
+Plant a trap to invoke this macro, at the appropriate vertical position
+marking the end of normal running text on each page.
+.KS
+.IP \n+[ITEM].
+Initialize the
+.CW pdfhref
+hook into this page transition trap, by invoking
+.RS
+.IP
+.fam C
+.B "pdfhref I -PT"
+.BI macro-name > <
+.LP
+where
+.CWBI macro-name > <
+is the name of the user supplied page trap macro,
+to ensure that
+.CW pdfhref
+will correctly restart mapping of active link regions,
+at the start of each new page.
+.KE
+.RE
+.QE
+.LP
+It may be observed that this initialization of the
+.CW pdfhref
+page transition hook is, typically, required only once
+.EM before
+document formatting begins.
+Users of document formatting macro packages may reasonably expect that
+this initialization should be performed by the macro package itself.
+Thus, writers of such macro packages which include
+.CW pdfmark
+bindings, should provide appropriate initialization,
+so relieving the end user of this responsibility.
+The following example, abstracted from the sample
+.CW ms
+binding package,
+.CW spdf.tmac ,
+illustrates how this may be accomplished:\(en

+It has been noted previously, that the
+.CW pdfview

+.XR docview ), (
+the
+.CW pdfinfo
+macro,
+.XR docinfo ), (
+and the
+.CW pdfhref
+macro, when used to create a document outline,

+do not immediately write their
+.CW pdfmark
+output to the \*[PostScript] data stream;
+instead, they cache their output, in a
+.CW groff
+diversion, in the case of the
+.CW pdfview
+and
+.CW pdfinfo
+macros, or in an ordered collection of strings and numeric registers,
+in the case of the document outline,
+until a more appropriate time for copying it out.
+In the case of
+.CW pdfview
+and
+.CW pdfinfo
+\(lqmeta\(hydata\(rq,
+this \(lqmore appropriate time\(rq is explicitly chosen by the user;
+in the case of document outline data,
+.EM some
+cached data may be implicitly written out as the document outline is compiled,
+but there will
+.EM always
+be some remaining data, which must be explicitly flushed out, before the
+.CW groff
+formatting process is allowed to complete.
+.LP
+To allow the user to choose when cached
+.CW pdfmark
+data is to be flushed to the output stream, the
+.CW pdfmark
+macro package provides the
+.CW pdfsync
+macro, (to synchronize the cache and output states).
+In its simplest form, it is invoked without arguments, i.e.
+.QP
+.fam C
+.B .pdfsync
+.LP
+This form of invocation ensures that
+.EM both
+the \(lqmeta\(hydata cache\(rq, containing
+.CW pdfview
+and
+.CW pdfinfo
+data,
+.EM and
+the \(lqoutline cache\(rq,
+containing any previously uncommitted document outline data,
+are flushed; ideally, this should be included in a
+.CW groff
+\(lqend macro\(rq, to ensure that
+.EM both
+caches are flushed, before
+.CW groff
+terminates.
+.LP
+Occasionally,
+it may be desirable to flush either the \(lqmeta\(hydata cache\(rq,
+without affecting the \(lqoutline cache\(rq, or vice\(hyversa,
+at a user specified time, prior to reaching the end of the document.
+This may be accomplished, by invoking the
+.CW pdfsync
+macro with an argument, i.e.
+.QP
+.fam C
+.B ".pdfsync M"
+.LP
+to flush only the \(lqmeta\(hydata cache\(rq, or
+.QP
+.fam C
+.B ".pdfsync O"
+.LP
+to flush only the \(lqoutline cache\(rq.
+.LP
+The \(lqmeta\(hydata cache\(rq can normally be safely flushed
+in this manner, at any time
+.EM after
+output of the first page has started;
+(it may cause formatting problems,
+most notably the appearance of unwanted white space, if flushed earlier,
+or indeed, if flushed immediately after a page transition,
+but before the output of the content on the new page has commenced).
+Caution is required, however, when explicitly flushing the
+\(lqoutline cache\(rq, since if the outline is to be
+subsequently extended, then the first outline entry after flushing
+.EM must
+be specified at level 1.
+Nevertheless, such explicit flushing may occasionally be necessary;
+for example, the
+.CW TC
+macro in the
+.CW spdf.tmac
+package,
+.XR using-spdf ), (
+invokes
+.CW ".pdfsync\ O" \(rq \(lq
+to ensure that the outline for the \(lqbody\(rq section of the document
+is terminated,

+it commences the formatting of the table of contents section.
