Hi Kate,
This question seems to come up quite often, and the answer is always the same.
It can get a little confusing at times, especially when deadlines are looming
large, and all you want is a PDF.
Let my try and explain why you need to Save as PDF rather than Print.
The Print to PDF route
Hello Eduardo,
We've faced a similar problem with mixed A3/A4 pages. FM will use the page
size of the chapter from which you start printing for all the following
pages. Two ways to do this:
- save the book chapter by chapter to PDF and glue the chapters together in
Acrobat.
- save the book to
This topic has been addressed several times the last few months. It can be
done and fully on the template level through postscript textboxes on master
pages, and it can be further automated by incorporating the use of Apply
Master Pages so that content you want on A3 pages will always stay on A3
I think the easiest way to go is just to pick the largest page size in
Acrobat when you distill and let the whole book go.
Reader automatically resizes so that the page zoom fills the available
window real estate.

I have an 86-chapter book with the same variables in every chapter.
I want to convert all instances of all user variables to text.
I can delete the variable in one chapter and thus convert all instances in that
chapter, but importing variable definitions across the whole book doesn't
delete any

Id like to use a variable to list a phrase with uses a thin space between
the terms. Is that possible? A quick check in Help yielded the method for
typing the thin space but nothing else.
Thanks much,

Hi Lea
You can use the hex code \x12 where ever you want the thin space to appear.
I've got an old version of the Windows Character Sets if you want it...I
believe it has remained consistent over the years although I wouldn't lay
money on it!
Many blessings

Hi Lea,
Use \st or \i in your variable. Alternatively, you can type the keyboard
sequence Esc space t.
Best,

Yes! I highly endorse BookVars ... thanks for providing it, Scott.
To John and others: I will make the following prediction.
If you use a lot of variables (whether in FM books that contain multiple files
or not), you will end up buying it (i.e., not give it up after 30 days) once
you try it!
You also may want to bookmark this page from the online help which list
backslash shortcuts for a lot of special characters:

Thin Space would be \st or \i

Thanks for the suggestion, Jerilynne. Unfortunately, the character after the
thin space is a number, so it didnt work well. Also unfortunately, another
suggestion to use either /i or /st was also unsuccessful. :/
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Lea

The help topic you want is Typing in Dialog Boxes. There, you'll find key
sequences
Oh dang. I just realized that I reversed the slashes in the other things I
tried. \st works perfectly, /st not so much. Thank you to all who
replied.
As others have said, this list rocks. Thanks!
