Installation
Content Manager OnDemand provides the ARSPDF32.API file to enable PDF viewing from the 
client. 
If you install the client after you install Adobe Acrobat, the installation program copies the 
application programming interface (API) file to the Acrobat plug-in directory. 
If you install the client before you install Adobe Acrobat, you must copy the API file to the 
Acrobat plug-in directory manually. 
If you upgrade to a new version of Acrobat, you must copy the API file to the new Acrobat 
plug-in directory.
The default location of the ARSPDF32.API file is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\OnDemand Clients\V9.5\PDF 
The default Acrobat plug-in directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 
x.y\Acrobat\plug_ins. The variables x.y represent the version of Acrobat, for example, 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\plug_ins.
Graphical indexer example
By using the graphical indexer, you can define triggers, fields, and indexes for PDF reports 
within the application component of Content Manager OnDemand in a similar way to defining 
them for line data. This section serves as an introduction to the PDF graphical indexer by 
stepping through an example of indexing a PDF document. 
The example describes how to use the graphical indexer from the report wizard to create 
indexing information for an input file. The indexing information consists of a trigger that 
uniquely identifies the beginning of a document in the input file and the fields and indexes for 
each document. We elaborate on this example by clarifying several of the instructions, and 
throughout each step, we add important hints, tips, and explanations. 
The process consists of these steps: 
1. Start the Administrator Client and log on to a server.
2. Start the report wizard. Click the report wizard icon on the toolbar. 
3. In the Sample Data window, select PDF from the drop-down list of data types, and then 
click Select Sample Data.
4. In the Open window, enter the name or full path name of your file in the space that is 
provided or use the Browse option to locate your PDF file.
5. Click Open. The graphical indexer opens the input file in the report window.
If the PDF data fails to display, or an error message, such as the message that is shown in 
Figure 7-2, is displayed, you must follow the steps in “Installation” on page 169 to verify 
that the API file is in the correct Acrobat plug-in directory.
