Testing your parameter files

A parameter file test should be used to make sure the Table of Contents is formatted properly, (AppendPDF Pro only), and all of the documents are being appended in the way that you expect. You can use a parameter file with one or two page documents so you can quickly check results and make small adjustments to margins, colors, line spacing, leaders, etc. (AppendPDF Pro only). You can use a source files block that consists of more than one instance of the same one page file for a very simple test. For example:

This will append two /inputfilepath/Sample1.pdf files, each with a different TOC entry (AppendPDF Pro only), and save the file as /outputfilepath/output.pdf.

Paramsletter example

The example on the following pages puts together the examples we've been using throughout this chapter, in the files: paramsletter.xml and paramsbasic.xml. For clarity, the following examples may not use full path names. We recommend that you use full path names for all files.
