PDF Output customization

What is RoboHelp's PDF output based on? Is it CSS-based? How easy is it to customize the PDF output?

    The templates used to generate a PDF output use two CSS files and optionally the topic CSS. One is unique to the output, the other can overrides the topic CSS or you can opt  to exclude the topic CSS files.

     

    There are many options so addressing how easy it is to customise is not easy. 🙂 It depends on how much you want to customise the templates.
