Bens -- thank you very much. That was it. The v3 XML version had the data easily reported for color and black and white pages.

Create interactive PDF with hyperlinks
Is anybody familiar with creating an interactive PDF specifically with click-able hyperlinks? Ideally I'm looking for a way to automate the process so that a PDF with various web pages can become hyperlinks that would link to and open the webpage.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Extract Text from PDF for Metadata/Private Data Use
Curious if there is any other idea in how to accomplish this. I am starting with a CSV file that will trigger a SmartStream Deisgn VDP config which creates a multi page/record PDF.
