Generating multiple single page documents

Post by sdcinvan »

Hello all,

After a bit of reading, I am about to try something new in Flare. I need to create a series of service bulletins that are 2 - 5 pages in length, have no TOC or anything usually associated with larger documents. It would be very tedious to create a TOC and a Target for each one of these documents so I am using the Target > Advanced > Multi-Document Native XPS/PDF Output feature.

Have any of you used this feature? Any tips? I am hoping it is as straight forward as I think it is.

I believe I just need to place all the documents into a single TOC and separate each with chapter breaks.


Thank you,
Shawn

We use this feature for generating 4 separate sets of release notes (in 7 different languages for each set) into PDF format, and it works great! We use the single target/single TOC with chapter breaks applied, and it has been straight-forward for us.

I'm about to try to do the same for a project that currently produces 36 different PDFs...
