    Ch,

    You can open it hidden with the FDK or ExtendScript, something like:

      F_PropValsT openScript, *returnp = NULL;
      UIntT sn;

      F_ObjHandleT docId;


      openScript = F_ApiGetOpenDefaultParams();
      sn = F_ApiGetPropIndex(&openScript, FS_MakeVisible);
      openScript.val[sn].propVal.u.ival = True;
      docId = F_ApiOpen("C:\\SomePath\\SomeDoc.fm", &openScript, &returnp);

    You can also make a currently-open document hidden:

    F_ApiSetInt(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_IsOnScreen, False);

    There isn't any way to do it through the GUI.

    From inside a book? Sure, just right-click and Exclude it

    I am asking if there is a way to open a document but have it hidden.

    What is the meaning of excluding a document from a book?

    Does this document has limitations?

    If you exclude a document from the book it’s in, it gets skipped when any generated files (like a ToC or IX) are created. I’m not sure what you’re trying to do when you say “open a document but have it hidden” – maybe you can elaborate on what you’re trying to accomplish?
