In Structured FrameMaker: * Put all the files in one "super book" * Set the Pagination and Numbering settings, particularly the Volume settings * Generate a single TOC and Index for the super book * Place TOC and Index in both sub-books * Print to PDF * Split into separate PDFs in Acrobat
You'll probably want to money with the Index specification, as multi-book indexing references can be... trying. This will work in any version of FrameMaker that supports Volume naming and numbering (7.0+, IIRC). The Structured method is totally different (and I only know IBMIDDOC's method, not DITA/FM-XML). HTH; David -------- Original Message -------- Subject: What is the recommended way of having a TOC appear in multiple places of a book? From: [email protected] Date: Thu, March 14, 2013 3:53 pm To: "framers at lists.frameusers.com" <framers at lists.frameusers.com> Hi, guys... I have a 1,500+ FM11 book that is divided into two volumes. The book has a TOC and Index with both volumes. Both Volume 1 and 2 have covers and the pagination starts at 1 for each volume. Everything good. It's also conceivable that I'll eventually have Volumes 3, 4, 5, and 6. Now, I want to put the same TOC in the front of both Volumes and the Index at the end of both volume.. What is the suggested approach? Thanks John Posada
