Do you have an ASCII file containing the article data of all articles contained in your product catalog?
This ASCII file should at minimum contain all the article numbers as they are contained in the product catalog. The more these article numbers resemble the way they are spelled in the product catalog the easier it will be for you to automatically generate links between the article numbers on the pages and the records in the database, which you create by importing the article number ASCII file. This is the most important specialty of this software and both of the reader software using CDF files and of the generated HTML. If they are differences in the way of spelling article numbers between the catalog and the ASCII file you can correct most of them with the automatic article number filter. For the remaining exceptions, which cannot be automatically processed by the article number filter, you can create links manually using the LinkEditor.
Do you want to distribute an additional article data together with the catalog in CDF format, even if these articles are not contained in the catalog?
Often a printed product catalog contains only a part of the article items offered by your company. Nonetheless there are many good reasons why you could and often should distribute all available articles to your customer together with the CDF catalog. The CDF file can contain more articles than are contained on the catalog pages. So please consider if it make sense to supply a database of all available articles from your company as part of the created CDF catalog!
