The PTC Arbortext Content Delivery Book Print functionality lets you select content loaded in PTC Arbortext Content Delivery such as IEs and part lists to be published as a PDF "book", with each selection becoming a subdocument in the PDF output. The default book print generates a cover, a hyperlinked table of contents, and PDF bookmarks replicating the TOC structure. PDF IEs are inserted essentially as is, whereas other content is transformed from XML to XSL FO and then rendered to PDF according to selected settings like page size and page orientation using print stylesheets.

The cover stylesheet generates two pages, with a header that contains a default image and application name and footer with a localized timestamp. The book name (which can be set in the Book Preview window) is centered on the cover front page. The back-cover page has the same layout as the front except for the book name which is replaced by a boilerplate localized "This page intentionally left blank".

The TOC stylesheet generates an even number of pages with a localized Table of Contents main title and TOC entries for each item selected for the PDF book.

Note that the TOC refers to the global page number of each entry (same page number as what Acrobat displays for a page in the toolbar). In the resulting PDF body content, the footer contains the global page number centered in a light grey color, with the local page number of each subdocument followed by the total number of pages of the subdocument along the outside edge of the page, see image below.

The TOC references use the global page number (same page number that Acrobat displays in the toolbar) and which appears discreetly in grey color centered in the footer of each included subdocument. The global page number and total number of pages of the subdocument appear along the outside edge (yellow highlight), separated by a forward slash.

In addition, the TOC and PDF bookmarks include the information or publication structure hierarchy for the items included in the PDF book, to provide the context of a subdocument.
