Printing annotations with topic content.

Post by Msquared »

Does anyone know if it is possible to print out annotations with topics?

When I make a PDF, the annotations disappear. They also disappear if I print using File > Print. Is there a setting that enables me to turn them on?

Not that I know of. :(

I put in a feature request for this quite a while ago. If you think it's important, please do so, too!

Glad I found this post and someone else wants this feature.

Disappointing to find out but I am also going to submit a feature request.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if this feature has been added yet? Since most of the replies to this post are a few years old, I thought it might have been added in Flare v11.

If not, does anyone have any workarounds? I noticed in a somewhat related topic PDF of ONE topic that Marjorie (Msquared ) mentioned:
I also use my Review stylesheet, rather than my normal print one, which has a few more styles to allow me to show comments and annotations that are always hidden in the other (production) targets.
And I see that annotations are actually a style (MadCap|annotations) and that they are in the .htm files, but I don't see how Flare is removing it from the output to try and play around with it.

Thanks!

No, not added in Flare 11. :-(

But if you would like to PM me with your email address, I'll send you a copy of an article I wrote for the ISTC Communicator magazine about how I have set up a stylesheet to implement review annotations that can be included or excluded from outputs as you choose.

FYI - Received an email from Flare that this is resolved in Flare 12.
