Hi Klaus,
Good point. I can solve that by calling another Update, but without
generating the TOCs again. Thanks for the feedback.

The syntax in the XML file would be like this:
a) numeric example
Colspec colnum = 1 colname = 1 colwidth = 0.543in/
Colspec colnum = 2 colname = 2 colwidth = 3.984in/
b) proportional example
Colspec colnum = 1 colname
It does a bit, doesn't it? I've never really dug into Distiller, so I'm
going to spend some time with the PDF Creation Settings manual and see if
it sheds any light on the issue.
This is the first job I've ever had that actually created a customized
joboptions file. Always before, I picked

perfectly.

With this approach, I see the following problem:

Seems plausible. Inappropriate .joboptions settings can cause massive bloat.

Do you guys still add a preface to your manuals? No one reads them and they
cost money if you're translating the manuals, so I've heard that a lot of
companies are moving away from including them. What's been your experience?
Thanks,

You could put each language in one file and create a local TOC in
each file. You also might be able to use subbooks and make TOCs for
each subbook, but I've never used subbooks, so I don't know if
seperate TOCs per subboks exist in FM.

As an alternative, I have proposed a script solution where you have a single

Arnis over on the forums suggested working from the bottom up on these book of

the top level book last. Have you done that still have no success Rick?

expect FrameMaker to automatically size the column widths depending on the

Maybe a preprocessing script is feasible, but since XML is
