To print (either hard copy or PDF) without colored conditions, you need to globally set the files in the book to turn off the "Show Condition Indicators" in the Show/Hide Conditional Text dialog. One way to do this is to set it manually in one file and then use File>Import>Formats to import *only* the Conditional Text Settings from that one file into all the other files in the book. (You can also set up pair of otherwise empty template files to alternately set the conditions to the colored, on-screen view or the plain view for printing. > 2.

The bullet (or autonumber) is a property of the paragraph and is therefore "contained in" the end-of-paragraph symbol (which is only visible if you have the View Text Symbols option turned on). When you conditionalize an entire paragraph, you need toi conditionalize the *entire* paragraph, including the non-printing end-of-paragraph character or else you will still get the vertical space and any paragraph-level presentational items such as a bullet or autonumbering graphic frame above or below even. The easiest way to do this is to triple-click anywhere in the paragraph to select the entire paragraph before applying the condition.
