Add Auto Tabs

Insert tabs at PDF bookmark locations or chapter start locations.

To insert tabs at PDF bookmark locations, the imported job must be an Acrobat PDF with bookmarks already specified in the document. To insert tabs at chapter starts, add the chapter starts in Fiery JobMaster. You must have an activated Fiery JobMaster license.
  1. Import a PDF job into the Hold queue of Command WorkStation.
  2. Select the job in the Held list and choose JobMaster from the Actions menu.
  3. In the View menu, select Show Bookmarks. The PDF bookmarks are shown with a red ribbon.
  4. To add chapter starts to the PDF, select a page and choose Chapter Start from the Actions menu. Chapter starts are shown with a blue ribbon. If a page is both a bookmark and a chapter start, it is shown with a blue and red ribbon.
  5. In the Actions menu, go to Auto Tabs and select one (or more) of the following:
    Option Description
    Convert Bookmarks to Tabs All bookmarked pages are converted to tabs. The Edit Tab dialog will automatically open; the tab text fields will be automatically populated with each bookmark's title. (Only enabled if the imported PDF has bookmarks.)
    Insert Before Bookmarks A tab will be inserted before each bookmark. The Edit Tab dialog will automatically open; the tab text fields will be automatically populated with each bookmark's title. (Only enabled if the imported PDF has bookmarks.)
    Convert Chapters to Tabs All chapter start pages will be converted to tabs. The Edit Tab dialog will automatically open. (Only enabled if chapter starts have been set.)
    Insert Before Chapters A tab will be inserted before each chapter start page. The Edit Tab dialog will automatically open. (Only enabled if chapter starts have been set.)
    Note: Note the following:
    • Only the top level bookmarks in the Acrobat PDF are extracted for Auto Tabs. If there are two or more top level bookmarks on a single page, the first bookmark is used.
    • Longer bookmark titles that cannot fit in the tab ear text field appear to be cut off from both ends.
    • Auto Tabs are always inserted in the first set, if multiple tab sets are supported on your Fiery server.
    • Even if Auto Tabs have been inserted, you can use the Insert Tab function to insert tabs.

    When tabs have been added to a document, you can use the Filter Tabs icon in the Page View tool bar to display only those pages with tabs.
