Thanks again for getting back so quickly and discussing the problem. I think it all hinges on what I think is possible with a 'destination'. Here's a summary of my current understanding:

I have two build files, red.pdf and blue.pdf and I want to publish them to folder 'colours/'

As I see it at the ...

Thanks Lydia. Just to clarify, do you mean each PDF has its own destination? Or you have a single destination which you are reusing for each published PDF? If it's the latter, how do you differentiate the published PDFs to different files? (Published not build files)

Basically, what I want to do is ...

Hi,

Before I go ahead and create a lot of destinations for each of my PDFs, I was wondering if there is an option to simply preserve the file name? This would allow me to publish to a folder without specifying a name. Then I could publish my documents using a single destination and not have to ...

Thank you. This is good to know - something I missed along the way.

Hi,

I have a large-ish (225 pages) document consisting of several TOCs that have been linked to form a master TOC. To speed things up I decided to create a much smaller master TOC so I could generate a small part of the output and troubleshoot my on-line output much faster (my smaller TOC now ...

Hi,

Ok, I found the solution. After a search through the forum I noticed someone had a similar problem. It was due to "Use TOC depth for heading levels" being checked in the Advanced properties for the target. I unchecked it and bingo!

Thanks again,
Ian.

I just checked the pdf_manual target and it wasn't set to BookStyles (it was default). I changed it and sadly this hasn't fixed it.

Hi Lydia,

Thanks for the quick reply. I only have one stylesheet (BookStyles.css) in the project. The only oddity I can see is that when I right-click on the actual topic document in the XML editor and select 'Topic Properties...' the stylesheet is showing as BookStyles but it's greyed out. If I ...

Hi,

I'm a relative newcomer to Flare (v9) and I'm having trouble preserving a new H1 style in my printed output. I've modified the H1 style to have the format "Chapter <n>: <text>". This is working fine when I'm editing the page but when I generate PDF, the "Chapter <n>:" part is missing, the text ...
