Hi Folks,
I'm considering using Flare to manage and distribute application notes and related articles. I think the webhelp target would be great for web viewing, but I'll need the PDF option as well. Is it possible to have a PDF target that creates a separate pdf file for each topic, or would I need a separate target for each note/article? That would be logisitcally cumbersome.
Does anyone else use Flare to single-source articles for web and PDF?

Each Topic a Separate PDF - is this possible?

Yes, the PDF target can do this, but it needs a little bit of setting work.
You need to set the multiple documents option on the Advanced tab of the target and the PDF will be split according to specified chapter breaks. You need to set the place for chapter breaks on the TOC that you use - see the TOC properties > Printed output tab.
