Developper Notes:
  • Maximum number of anchors across all forms of a PDF document is set in configuration file by the key MX_NBTXP. if that number is reached, this instruction is ignored with a warning message in the SYSOUT.
  • IX and IY are frequently not relevant.  These two arguments may contain miscellaneous variables if there is an agreement between people respectively in charge of programs and of forms where these instructions appear.
  • Provided function SetCustColors() is used, the three arguments related to Text color may be negative.  In that case, user default colors will be used instead of the negative ones.
