To do this you need to build a single container file that references all the separate small files as a text inset. Wehn you print a FrameMaker book, each separate file *always* starts a new page. The only way to suppress the page breaks between small files is to combine their content into a single composite file. -Fred Ridder

You'll need to create a file that looks this way to print it this way. You can create such a file by importing the individual files as text insets into one "container" file. Look up text insets in FM Help. HTH Regards, Peter __ Peter Gold KnowHow ProServices

Combining separate FM files in print out
I'm using FM 8 & 9. I have several small files (unstructured). I want to print them to a PDF in a continuous flow, rather than having each file start on a new page. For example, if the first file stops half a page down, the next file starts on the second half of the page. Can this be done?
