I'll give it a try, but the apostrophe is in the Target name, not the Page Layout filename.

Yes. I have a PDF Target and a Page Layout. Page Layout is shown here.
And here's the assignment of the Page Layout.
And when I build, I build the correct one.

Maybe you see something I don't?

The PDF also does not reflect the 1" margins.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I have deleted the Page Layout and created a new one. Specified test headers and footers and so forth. Still doesn't work.

I have checked and rechecked all the settings so many times.

I feel like there's something very elemental that I'm missing, but I don't know what ...

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't fix the issue. It seems like nothing I do affects the PDF. The only thing that has an effect on the output is when I use a different style sheet. Fonts and such change. But I don't seem to be able to affect margins, headers, footers, and so on.

It's making ...

Thanks so much for posting such helpful instructions.

I followed your instructions to the word, and still, I can't get the generated PDF to reflect anything I do to the flpgl file. It's quite frustrating. I made sure the files are there on disk and in the right place. I've assigned it to each of ...

Thanks Nita,

I had been working with the master pages and reading those very topics. I had them reversed in terms of what worked with PDF and what didn't. Now I've created a Page Layout, and I'm testing it out, but even though I have it assigned in the target in the Master Page Layout setting (I've ...

I'm creating a PDF and am fairly new at this single-sourcing thing.

I've got a help project created and it's working just fine right now. I can generate a plain old PDF from the help content, but I want to add headers, footers, TOC and so on.

I created a MasterPage, but I don't seem to be able to ...

Kathy,

It does help.

Thanks to everyone for helping me get it straight!

Starting from the inside out, from what I perceive to be the closest to the files and text and moving out toward my end result:

I want to mark certain topics (I don't have conditional text at the text level only at the topic level) to be part of the User content and other topics to be part of the ...

See, I was thinking I could have just one TOC that contained everything, but then mark the different TOC entries conditionally.

I get a bit confused about the meaning of target and the meaning of destination.

Maybe, if we start with a little explanation of target and destination, it'd make more ...

Okay, here's what I have to configure:

Help system with two major sections (User, Admin). User to be published as WebHelp and separately as PDF. I've assigned the conditional setting to the Admin section so that it isn't generated with the WebHelp, so I've got that all set.

Next thing I need to do ...

I get this and have made it work, but is there a way to edit the background color of a mouseover item, in addition to the text color?

Can't quite wrap my head around how small this gutter is.

Does anyone know how to make this space bigger? Can't locate the control for this one.

Thanks!

Lisa,

Wanted to let you know what I discovered: the space before *is* off considerably when I look at the table in the Flare application, but when I build the help and look at it in the browser, it looks fine.

Who'd'a thunk?

Thanks again.

Thanks Lisa,

I checked the <a> style. No problem there.

No complex selectors that I can see.

I'm baffled.

!!

This is what it looks like. I have provided three rows. The <a> tag is inside the <td> tag and the style is the same for all three rows.

<tr>
<td class="TableStyle_TableStyle_Body_0_0_RowSep_ColSep" style="padding-left: 6px;padding-right: 6px;padding-top: 6px;padding-bottom: 6px;">Occupation</td ...

The spacing in the table is uniform, except when the first line of a row contains an <a> tag. Then the space before the first line is greater than it should be. Any ideas?

Can't seem to figure out how to get the row colors to alternate from color to no color and back to color. Any suggestions?

Thing is, I'm quite accustomed to editing in a text editor; it's my preference in fact. Something like EditPlus or even Notepad, except the colors are lacking in the latter. And I checked out the <t> menu, but didn't realize that I could click the very first item on the menu, since I've never seen ...

Great suggestions. I do clean the project, but the folder with my name on it remains. I'll use your advice and not submit the Output folder to source control.

So nice to have this forum to ask questions.

I am using a Destination. But even still, when I submit my project files to the client's source control, it would be nice to not have my name in there. Client hasn't complained, but still.

Thanks so much for your assistance.

I have searched the Help, but I'm not so sure the search finds what I need to know.

When I look at the files on disk, I have found a folder that I would like to get rid of or at least rename, but I can't figure out where I Flare to delete or rename it. If I simply delete it on disk, Flare thrashes ...
