How to have a check on change bars and/or tags before generating a PDF

Hi All,

There were many instances where I have generated very huge books (over 1300 pgs), and realize that some chapter(s) (files) are printed along with the tags or the change bars on.

To resolve this, I had to go back and regenerate the same book after removing those properties which is cumbersome.

Is there any solution where I can have a check/popup, before generating the PDF, if any file(s) within a book has tags or the change bars on?

Thanks and regards,

Subhakar

Subhakar,

It would be useful if you would tell us the FrameMaker version you are using.

I thought I saw warnings regarding tag view when printing. Change bars might be a different thing.

But I think you can control both features from the book. Just select all book components and look inside the View menu… (I just shut down my machine, so I cannot look myself).

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your response and apologies for not mentioning the FM version (9)

that I am using.

I am now able to clear the tags in all the files within a book by your

suggestion to:

1. Select all files within the book

2. Go to View and select

3. Select Show Element Boundaries (as tags)

This will show the element tags in all the files

4. Select Hide Element Boundaries. This option is visible and enabled only

when I select the Show Element Boundaries.

I am just curious and waiting for your response to have a check on Change

Bars.

Regards,

Subhakar

Well, the solution is where you set up the change bars originally, and it seems to be available from the book as well:

1. Select all files

2. Format > Document > Change Bars: Clear All Change Bars, Set

Does it work?
