Document! X and HelpStudio Booklets contain one or more Topics and (optionally) the Table of Contents, Index and Glossary compiled into a PDF file suitable for printing. When you define a booklet, you define the properties of the booklet together with the Topics and headings you want included.
Booklets are a great way to provide your project content in a format that is designed to be printed. You can re-use some or all of your existing Topics, or create new Topics specifically for booklets.
You don't need to specifically design Topic content for inclusion in booklets. Document! X and HelpStudio takes care of most of the issues with turning on-line help content into print material as an automatic part of the booklet build process:
A specific Template designed for printed output is used to generate the booklet output;
Any Glossary Items are marked up in Italic font;
Any hyperlinks to other Topics are supplemented with additional text to indicate whether the reference can be found within the booklet being printed, or in the accompanying on-line help. Hyperlinks can also be left intact if preferred, allowing direct navigation within the booklet;
Any hyperlinks to external URLs are supplemented with a textual reference of the URL or Topic linked to (you can alter the default hyperlink conversion preferences in the Booklet Editor);
Topics and headings are automatically numbered and a Table of Contents, Index and Glossary for the booklet generated (according to the settings you define in the Booklet Editor).
If you have content within a Topic that you do not want included in the booklet output, you can use the "Exclude from Booklet" Build Flag to mark the content as not appropriate for booklet output.
