I couldnt find an AcmContent html type - so I suspect it's not possible?
If this is not possible, can I render an HeaderHtmlFormat area with a z-index and layer it overtop of the other page content?
The reason is: I need to include a right hand size vertical-style navigation (Imagine file folder tabs layed out vertically along the right hand side of the page). As it stands now, they get cut off when an avoided page break gets reached and also I'm not able to repeat them when a pdf gets broken into multiple pages.
thx!

Aha! I think this will do it: Adding Page Header/Footer After the Conversion https://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/pdf/htmltopdf/header.aspx

So, I was able to get the visual parts in the right place, but it looks like that breaks the links.
Is it possible to add a link to a page after it's rendered and still have it click through to the destination?

Hi,
You can do links both with HTML to PDF or with ACM but you can't cross link in between them. So for example, you can't create a link using HTML that points to an AcmContent in your ACM tree. In order to achieve that, you would need to get the location of the target AcmContent, then format your HTML to place a dummy element exactly at that location, then add a link in your HTML to point to that dummy target HTML element. This would require quite some additional code. So if you wish to have this level of complexity, it might be easier for you to use just one interface.
Thanks!
