Not in Frame, no. However, you can generate all the books as PDFs and then merge the PDFs (and include a cover/master page with bookmarks to the books), or create a meta-book of all the files, and create Section or Part pages for each of the component books. Art On Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 4:55 PM,

Conditional text not removing extraneous pages

Hi, I'm using conditional text to single source from one doc to another. Specifically, I'm referencing a file from one book into another and removing several sections by conditioning them out. This leaves several pages empty. In one circumstance, the book/PDF automatically removes the extra

I got the answer: There was one page where a callout circle in a screenshot had extended beyond the anchored frame by a fraction of an inch. That was causing the page (and all previous pages) to show. Once we moved that callout circle back within its boundaries, everything went fine. Thanks

Hi Adam, Yes, converting back and forth between FM binary and MIF is considered safe. There are a couple of exceptions that I can think of: 1) If you save a FM document as MIF and then use an earlier version of FrameMaker to open the MIF document, you will lose "features" that are not
