When a PDF is created in version 7 and the PDF document is opened, the name of the page in the PlanetPress form is now displayed in the tool bar next to the page numbers.

Example: White (1 of 1)

Is there a way in Image to turn this off? The previous version we were running (ver 5) did not include the page name from the PlanetPress form.

We don't really want our page name showing as we have a few "generic" pages with many overlays. The overlays are named what the form actually is where as page name may be named White for example.

I have not been able to find anything in Image or in PlanetPress Design. I didn't know if it was an option that I could turn on or off.

Thanks.

Thanks. Do you put the passthrough in PlanetPress Talk Before on each Page in the Form? I've never used PDFMarks before and I'm just trying to find where I place the postscript code.

Is there a way to do this at a document level so all page labels can be set to the same thing without having to do it on each page inside the form?

You could put the code for pdfmarks on an overlay page and then call the overlay page from all your other pages.
Or perhaps use a non-ejecting page with it at the start of your form.
I can't remember if the code has to be in a specific place (before or after the page).

I created a PDFMark overlay and defined a global string variable with the PDFMark postscript code.
In the PDFMark overlay, I added the passthrough through statement using the global variable in Press Talk Before. I added this overlay page to all of my other pages as an underlay. This resolves my issue. It is easier to just add an overlay to each page and have the passthrough code in one location than to have to add the passthrough to each page within the form.

Thanks again Stuart for your help.
