One-touch Print function-print all sub-topics in TOC[FIXED]
One-touch Print function-print all sub-topics in TOC[FIXED]
My TOC is made up of a topic header, under which I have sub-topics.
I currently have the print functionality/icon on each topic page which allows the user to print just that page. However, I also wish to give the user the ability to print all the sub-topics in one click. Is that possible please
Thanks.

Re: One-touch Print function - print all sub-topics in TOC
I suspect you'd have to provide a separate PDF that contains all the sub-topics if you want to be able to allow the user to print the whole section. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Re: One-touch Print function - print all sub-topics in TOC
How do I get a print button on each page to print just that page, please? I have quite a lot of topics and hope that I don't need a toc for each one separately...

Re: One-touch Print function - print all sub-topics in TOC
The user should be able to print successfully from their browser.damadeo wrote:How do I get a print button on each page to print just that page, please? I have quite a lot of topics and hope that I don't need a toc for each one separately...

Use the Print button on the topic toolbar.damadeo wrote:How do I get a print button on each page to print just that page, please? I have quite a lot of topics and hope that I don't need a toc for each one separately...
It's in Flare's help: https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare20 ... ight=print
Although you can print via the browser, the toolbar Print button works better because it will expand drop downs, togglers, etc.

Dave, will this Print button also print images full size even if on the topic page those images are styled as ThumbnailsDave Lee wrote:...Use the Print button on the topic toolbar.....

Re: One-touch Print function - print all sub-topics in TOC
I don't think it will, based on my own experience. And I have no suggested workaround other than to not use thumbnails.M33R4 wrote:Dave, will this Print button also print images full size even if on the topic page those images are styled as Thumbnails

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!

Re: One-touch Print function - print all sub-topics in TOC
I have set my target as Print, amended my Stylesheet Print medium to expand all thumbnails. On preview/build of my Print target, the images are expanding as expected, and those that are not, I am manually adjusting their print size by right-clicking on the affected image > Image properties > Print size >entering all lengths as 100% and widths Automatic.Dave Lee wrote:Not sure.

Thank you ChoccieMuffinChoccieMuffin wrote:I suspect you'd have to provide a separate PDF that contains all the sub-topics if you want to be able to allow the user to print the whole section. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
Took your advice and did the following and it's worked lovely:
- I set my Destinations for both HMTL5 and Print in the same folder
I Published Primary > Publish "Print2
I then copied the PDF from my Destination folder and pasted it into my project's Contents folder
I then opened my HTML5 TOC and right clicked the Documentation topic > Properties > General > Link: I searched for the PDF in my Contents folder > OK
Now that my HTML5 TOC had the PDF link attached to it, I then Published Primary > Publish "HTML5"
When I view my project online, clicking on the Documentation link opens up the PDF straight away.
