Settings for a PDF view, that are only applicable for this specific view type.
PDF settings
The settings described below are used with the tag ##export:all## or ##export:page##. Usually you won't that users can directly access this view, but only download the PDF. To generate a download link from within an entry, this would be the pattern to use:
#{{viewlink:NameOfThePDFView;Text of the link to display;pdfexportentry=##entryid##|dest=D|docname=PDFName##author:firstname##-##author:lastname##;}}#
The above link will generate a download link with the entry id of the current entry, and the name of the author of the entry included in the filename of the PDF.
Document name
Name of the document. You should also be able to user placeholders like ##author:firstname## for the name.

Choose landscape or portrait

PDF TOC (Table of Content)
Automatically generate a table of content based on the entries.
TOC Page
Page number (e.g. 1). The page where the TOC should be displayed. By default (page number empty or 0) the TOC is not displayed.
Page bookmarks can be added in the repeatd entry section with tags in the format: #@bookmark-type:bookmark-level:bookmark-text@#
Bookmark type: PDF-GBM for group bookmark, PDF-BM for regular bookmark. Group bookmarks display only the first occurence in a sequence of the same bookmark-text. Bookmark-level: 0 - n. If the html TOC template is used, it must contain a template definition for each bookmark level that is specified in the content. Bookmark-text: The text that will be displayed for the bookmark in the TOC. Field tags can be used to extract the text from the entry content.
Example:
#@PDF-GBM:0:##author:name##@#
#@PDF-BM:1:[[Date masked]]@#
TOC Name
Name for the table of content
TOC Title
Html for the TOC title that is displayed above the table of content. For example, <h1>TABLE OF CONTENT</h1> will display the TOC page with the title 'TABLE OF CONTENT' styled as heading1.
TOC Template
The TOC Template specifies the html for displaying the bookmarks in the table of content. The #TOC_DESCRIPTION# and #TOC_PAGE_NUMBER# must be enclosed in span tags.
For example:
<div><span style="color:#FF0000;">#TOC_DESCRIPTION#</span> ... <span>#TOC_PAGE_NUMBER#</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#00FF00;">#TOC_DESCRIPTION#</span> ... <span>#TOC_PAGE_NUMBER#</span></div>
By this simple template the pdf file will display the TOC with the first bookmark level in red and the second in green. Page numbers will be displayed separated from the bookmark descriptions by ellipsis.
Leave empty to display a default non-html TOC.
PDF Frame
A background image for the first page can be added here.
PDF Watermark
This inserts image into the first page of the PDF. Currently it is only possible to have a watermark on the first page. Further you can define the transparency of the image.
PDF Header
A header to be displayed on every page of the generated PDF.
A footer to display on every page.
