Tagged PDF will enhance Acrobat’s capability to readtext aloud.> When supplying Alt or ActualText it is useful to include a space character at the beginning.This allows the Read Aloud feature to distinguish the text from the precedingsentence. For the same reason, including a ’.’ character at the end may also be useful.Otherwise Read Aloud will try to read the last word of the preceding sentence incombination with the first word of the alternate text.224 Chapter 9: Generating various PDF Flavors
10 Variable Data and BlocksPDFlib supports a template-driven PDF workflow for variable data processing. Using theconcept of blocks, imported pages can be populated with variable amounts of single- ormulti-line text, images, or PDF graphics which can be pulled from an external source.This can be used to easily implement applications which require customized PDF documents,for example:> mail merge> flexible direct mailings> transactional and statement processing> business card personalizationNote Block processing requires the PDFlib Personalization Server (PPS). Although PPS is contained inall commercial PDFlib packages, you must purchase a license key for PPS; a PDFlib orPDFlib+PDI license key is not sufficient. The PDFlib Block plugin for Adobe Acrobat is requiredfor creating blocks in PDF templates interactively.Cookbook Code samples regarding variable data and blocks can be found in the blocks category of thePDFlib Cookbook.10.1 Installing the PDFlib Block PluginThe Block plugin and the PDF form field conversion plugin work with Acrobat 7/8/9Standard and Professional on Windows and Mac as well as Acrobat 9 Pro Extended onWindows. The plugins don’t work with Acrobat Elements or any version of AcrobatReader/Adobe Reader.Note The plugins contain multiple language versions of the user interface, and will automaticallyuse the same interface language as the Acrobat application if possible. If the plugin does notsupport the native Acrobat language the English user interface will be used instead.Installing the PDFlib Block plugins for Acrobat on Windows. To install the PDFlib Blockplugin and the PDF form field conversion plugin in Acrobat 7/8/9, the plugin files mustbe copied to a subdirectory of the Acrobat plugin folder. This is done automatically bythe plugin installer, but can also be done manually. The plugin files are called Block.apiand AcroFormConversion.api. A typical location of the plugin folder looks as follows:C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\plug_ins\PDFlib Block PluginInstalling the PDFlib Block plugins for Acrobat 7/8/9 on the Mac. With Acrobat 7/8/9the plugin folder will not be visible in the Finder. Instead of dragging the plugin files tothe plugin folder use the following steps (make sure that Acrobat is not running):> Extract the plugin files to a folder by double-clicking the disk image.> Locate the Acrobat application icon in the Finder. It is usually located in a folderwhich has a name similar to the following:/Applications/Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Professional> Single-click on the Acrobat application icon and select File, Get Info.> In the window that pops up click the triangle next to Plug-ins.10.1 Installing the PDFlib Block Plugin 225
