HTML tab

When exporting your PDF file (File | Export | Pages as), click on the Format button and switch to the HTML tab.

On this tab, you specify the options for how HTML formats will be exported by FlexiPDF.

"Background" section

In this section, you can set a background color or image for the exported HTML files.

Color

Your input in the Color field is transferred to the <COLOR> attribute of the HTML tag <BODY> on each page that is output. You can specify HTML color names such as yellow or hexadecimal color values such as #FFFFFF.

Image

The Image input field expects the file name of an image. This name is transferred to the BACKGROUND attribute of the HTML tag <BODY> on each page.
The link to the image file does not have to refer to an existing file on your hard disk. It only needs to work in the context of the HTML file. If, for example, you subsequently upload the HTML file to a web server, the link to the image file must work there.

"Header and Footer Files" section

The input fields for headers and footers expect file names with their path. The text and HTML "snippets" contained in these files are inserted in the page directly after the HTML tag <BODY> (header) or directly before the HTML tag </BODY> (footer).

You cannot enter the file names directly in the input fields. Use the buttons button - browse to select the files.

"Page / Article Navigation" section

If FlexiPDF is set to Create file for every page/article on the Text tab, you can add a navigation mechanism here. The texts entered here are placed on each page and serve as convenient navigation links to the previous, first and next page.

You should enter captions in the language that your readers will understand. You can also enter HTML code that references images instead of the texts.

The option "Image borders"

If this option is enabled, images will be given a border. This is generated with the border attribute of the HTML tag <IMG>.

The option "Frames"

This option has an effect only if you have enabled the output of Bookmarks on the Text tab.

With the option Frames, FlexiPDF generates a frameset in which the list of bookmarks appears on the left and the exported content on the right. If you click on a bookmark, the view will switch to the corresponding page.
