Don't want a topic in TOC

[erinhill]

I have a tear out (it's a PDF file) that is after the cover and before the TOC. I do not want it listed in the TOC. Is this possible?

The print table of contents is based on the headings (h1, h2, etc) in the document, or more specifically the mc-heading-level style. For example, if you use an h1 in the topic, the mc-heading-level is 1 (by default), so it will appear at the top level of the print table of contents. (It's a little more complicated if you're using the Use TOC depth for heading levels option in the target, but keeping things simple.)

Anyway, the upshot is that you just need to not include any mc-heading-level styles in your tearout page. For example, you could create a new class for h1, e.g. h1 class="not_for_TOC" with mc-heading-level: 0. That would look the same as a normal heading, but not appear in the print table of contents.

Thanks. This isn't a topic I created in Flare. It's a PDF I imported in. So, it doesn't have any heading styles from the Flare stylesheet.

I don't think you can get Flare to do what you want. I suspect that you'll need to edit the PDF, post build, to delete that item from the Bookmark pane.
