pdfmark Primer

The pdfmark operator is a PostScript extension for defining interactive parts of a PDF file within the corresponding PostScript code. These features include links, bookmarks, URLs and many others. Since the pdfmark operator has only marginally been documented by Adobe (although it is quite useful), I tried to describe all pdfmark application and provide usage samples. The manual below details many PDF features which can be achieved with pdfmarks, and describes how to use pdfmarks with many DTP and text processing applications.

Usage

You can cut-and-paste the pdfmark samples and incorporate them in your own files.
