PTC APP Functionality in Arbortext Styler
Access to two aspects of the functionality of the PTC Advanced Print Publisher (PTC APP) product is provided in an PTC Arbortext environment:
1. Formatting and publishing: the PTC APP print engine is installed when you install Arbortext Styler or Arbortext Publishing Engine. You may then opt to set PTC APP as the default print engine for your PTC Arbortext environment, for documents that use a specific stylesheet, or for individual documents. When specified, the PTC APP engine will generate any required print or PDF output.
2. Stylesheet extension: an Arbortext Styler (.style) stylesheet will support the addition of PTC APP code in order to achieve certain effects not possible through the Arbortext Styler interface.
There are two ways in which the code can be incorporated:
◦ Editing the stylesheet source to add PTC APP code
◦ Associating an PTC APP template (.3f file) with the Arbortext Styler stylesheet
