\section*{The \protect\cs{makePDFPackage} command}


The concept of a PDF Package is introduced in Acrobat 8. On first
blush, it is nothing more than a fancy user interface to display
embedded files;  however, it is also used in the new email form data
workflow. Using the new \textsf{Forms} menu, data contained in FDF
files can be packaged, and summary data can be displayed in the user
interface. Consequently, the way forms uses it, a PDF package can be
used as a simple database.

Unfortunately, at this time, the form feature/database feature of
PDF Packages is inaccessible to the JavaScript API and AeB Pro.
What AeB Pro provides is packaging of the embedded files with the
nice UI.

\newtopic The procedure is as follows: Embed all files files in the
parent as described in \texttt{aebpro\_ex5.pdf}, and use the command
\cs{makePDFPackage} to package the attachments. The syntax is
\begin{verbatim}
    \makePDFPackage{<key-values>}
\end{verbatim}
There are only two sets of key-value pairs
\begin{description}
    \item[]\texttt{initview=<label>}: Specifying a value for the
    initview key determines which file will be used as the initial
    view when the document is opened. If \texttt{initview=attach2},
    for this document, then the file corresponding to the label
    \texttt{attach2}, as set up in the \texttt{attachmentNames}
    environment is the initial view. Listing \texttt{initview} with
    no value (or if \texttt{initview} is not listed at all) causes
    the parent document to be initially shown.

    \item[]\texttt{viewmode=details|tile|hidden}: The
    \texttt{viewmode} determines which of the three user interfaces
    is to be used initially. In terms of the UI terminology:
    $\texttt{details} = \textsf{View top}$; $\texttt{tile} =
    \textsf{View left}$; and $\texttt{hidden} = \textsf{Minimize
    view}$. The default is \texttt{details}.
\end{description}
If you use this command with an empty argument list,
\verb!\makePDFPackage{}!, you create a PDF package with the
defaults.

\newtopic\textbf{\textcolor{red}{TIP:}} Use the \cs{autolabelNum*}
command to assign a more informative description of the attachments,
like so.
\begin{sverbatim}
    \autolabelNum*{1}{European Currency \u20AC}
    \autolabelNum*{2}{\u0022$|e^\u007B\u005Cln(17)\u007D|$\u0022}
    \autolabelNum*[AeST]{3}{The AeBST Components}
    \autolabelNum*[atease]{4}{The @EASE Control Panel}
\end{sverbatim}

Note that there is an alternative that is commented out to the assignment of the
second attachment, it is
\begin{sverbatim}
    \autolabelNum*
        {2}{\u\DQUOTE$|e^\u\LBRACE\u005Cln(17)\u\RBRACE|$\u\DQUOTE}
\end{sverbatim}
One can use the ``helper'' commands, as described in \texttt{aeb\_pro.tex}; however,
there is a slight problem.  Within the \texttt{<description>} argument, we obey spaces, so
if we were to say \verb!\u\LBRACE\u\BSLASH ln(17)\u\RBRACE! there would be a space
after the backslash. This is the reason we used \cs{u005C}.

\newtopic\textbf{\textcolor{red}{Warning:}} There seems to be a bug
when you email a PDF Package. When the initial view is \emph{not a PDF document}, the PDF Package
is corrupted when set by email and cannot be opened by the recipient.  When emailing a
PDF Package, as produced by AeB Pro, always have the initial view as a PDF document.

\newtopic That's it!  Hope you enjoy this feature and find a good
use for it.
