PDF Conversion from the SkyPDF tab in Office


Professional Standard Viewer Professional(TS)

When you enable the feature to add the SkyPDF add-in to Microsoft Office (See: Settings for Services You Want to Use), a [SkyPDF] tab is added to the Office ribbon.

In the [SkyPDF] tab, you can create PDFs with bookmarks and links, and PDFs without bookmarks or links.

  • The first time you run [Bookmark PDF] and [Normal PDF], a printer selection screen will appear. You can change this at any time from [Setting].
  • In Excel, only the selected sheet can be converted to PDF.
  • In PowerPoint, you cannot create a PDF of a read-only document.
  • Conversion of files with change history display settings in PowerPoint is not guaranteed to work.

Bookmark PDF

Press [Bookmark PDF] to convert the currently open document into a PDF with bookmarks and links.

“Bookmarks” are the list of headings displayed when you open the PDF. Clicking on them will jump to the corresponding page. Depending on the PDF viewer, it may also be referred to as a ‘Table of Contents’.

“Links” are hyperlinks from the original document added to the PDF as link annotations.

What is used to create bookmarks and links varies depending on the application.

Word
  • Bookmarks are created based on heading information.
    Apply heading styles such as “Heading 1”, “Heading 2”, “Heading 3”, etc., to the text in the document to create headings for bookmarks. The created headings can be checked in the [Headings] of Word’s [Navigation Pane].
  • Link annotations are added by detecting hyperlink information.
Excel
  • Sheet names are detected and set as bookmarks (only the first sheet in the selection state at the time of [Bookmark PDF] execution).
  • Link annotations do not work.
PowerPoint
  • Bookmarks are created for each slide based on the title.
    The title can be checked in PowerPoint’s [Outline View].
    Slides without a title are created with “Slide number n” as the title.
  • Link annotations are added by detecting hyperlink information.

URL links that span multiple lines are only functional when creating a PDF with [Bookmark PDF].

Normal PDF

Press [Normal PDF] to convert the currently open document into a PDF without bookmarks or links.

Setting

If multiple printers can be used for [Bookmark PDF] and [Normal PDF], pressing [Setting] will open the printer selection screen.

Here, you can select the printer to use from the dropdown menu.

Also, pressing [Properties] will launch the print settings for the currently selected printer.

If only one printer can be used for [Bookmark PDF] and [Normal PDF], pressing [Setting] will launch the print settings for the printer.
