Generate Separate PDFs from Book in 2019

[Barb Binder]

Hi FrameMaker friends:

Where did that checkbox go in FrameMaker 2019?

I want to output each chapter of a book as its own PDF—all at one time!

Well, I hope that someone will remind me where this checkbox is now—but in case it is on an extended vacation, or gone for good—I started googling and found my own blog post from a few years ago on how to use Acrobat to split a PDF at top level bookmarks. (Yes, it's been one of those days.)

Splitting the PDF was way quicker than saving out each .fm file to a .pdf one at a time.

Hi Barb

Currently it is not there. Thanks for sharing the blog post on splitting PDF at Bookmark level. Really informative.

thanks

Hi Amitoj:

Thank you for clarifying that. I was rushing to get a job out the door and I thought it was me!
