PDF indexer

Hi

Does CMOD INDEX for PDF indexer does not have a BREAK=YES options?
The IBM documentation for ACIF indexer has it but the documentation for PDF indexer doesnot have it!!

Thanks
Pankaj.

Hello Pankaj,

PDF Indexer works differently than ACIF Indexer for many reasons, and one is that both format are totally different, they use different paradigms.
So what works on one side (eg: ACIF) will never work on the other side.

I know the situation is better with CMOD 9, and I hope that it will be again better in CMOD 9+ with PDF.

let's hope!

Sincerely yours,
Alessandro

To do a break, the trigger one value should repeat.

We use a container PDF with multiple bill PDFs for different customers in each.
We "break" into individual bills by triggering on the return address in the payment stub.

I hope this helps, or spurs other ideas.

Hello LWagner,
Is this in 8.5 ? If yes, does it break automatically, since looks like BREAK=YES in an invalid pdf indexing option.

[LWagner]

That function is in 8.4 as well as 8.5, and likely beyond.

Below is the code we use in the Index Information tab, with type PDF.
