Configuring footers

The text to be printed in the footer of a PDF is controlled by configuration items in the wietmsd.xml file that define parameters that will be sent to the XSL-FO processor.

About this task

Some the requisite configuration items are not included in the delivered wietmsd.xml file, and must be added. In an unzipped cdimage publication, this file is delivered to the following directory.

folder\data\wietmsd.xml

where folder is the name of the unzipped cdimage folder.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to your collection directory.
  2. Open wietmsd.xml for editing.
  3. Add the PDF parameter list configuration item element to the main configuration section of the file by entering the following.
    <configitem name="pdf.param_list">
         <value>IETMVersion;IETMDate;PubNumber;cdVersion;PubDate</value>
    </configitem>
  4. Define the name of each configuration item in the parameter list as in the following example.
    <configitem name="IETMVersion.name">
         <value>IETMVersion</value>
    </configitem>
    <configitem name="IETMDate.name">
         <value>IETMDate</value>
    </configitem>
    <configitem name="PubNumber.name">
         <value>PubNumber</value>
    </configitem><configitem name="cdVersion.name">
         <value>cdVersion</value>
    </configitem>
    <configitem name="PubDate.name">
         <value>PubDate</value>
    </configitem>
  5. Define the value of each configuration item as in the following example. These values are the actual text printed in the footer.
    <configitem name="IETMVersion.value">
         <value>IETM Version 9.8.7</value>
    </configitem>
    <configitem name="IETMDate.value">
         <value>July 4, 1776</value>
    </configitem>
    <configitem name="PubNumber.value">
         <value>BIKE41</value>
    </configitem>
    <configitem name="PubDate.value">
         <value>12/28/2013</value>
    </configitem>
    <configitem name="cdVersion.value">
         <value>CD 1.2.3</value>
    </configitem>
  6. Save and close wietmsd.xml.
