Printing chapters
The Book palette provides a quick method for printing multiple chapters with the
same settings. You can print an entire book or just selected chapters from the Book
palette. To print chapters in an open book:
1
Make sure the chapters you want to print have a status of Available or Open. You
cannot print chapters that are listed as Missing or are currently in use by other users.
2
To print the entire book, make sure no chapters are selected. To choose one chapter,
click it. To select consecutive chapters, press Shift while you click them. To select
nonconsecutive chapters, press Command/Ctrl while you click them.
3
Click the Print Chapters button in the Book palette to display the Print dialog
box.
4
To print all the pages in all the selected chapters, choose All from the Pages drop-down
menu.
5
Specify other print settings as usual, or choose an option from the Print Style
drop-down menu. All the pages or chapters will print with these settings.
6
Click OK. QuarkXPress will open all the chapters, print them, and then close each
chapter. If a chapter is missing or in use by someone else, then the book will not print.
In fields that require you to enter page numbers (for example, the Print dialog box),
you must enter the complete page number, including any prefix, or an absolute page
number. An absolute page number is a page's actual position relative to the first page
of a document, regardless of the way in which the document is sectioned. To specify
an absolute page number in a dialog box, precede the number you enter with a plus
(+) sign. For example, to display the first page in a document, enter "+1."
Generate a PDF from a Book
The Book palette provides a quick method for producing a PDF. You can produce a
single PDF based on the entire book or separate PDF's of selected chapters. To produce
a PDF:
1
Make sure the chapters you want be in the PDF have a status of Available or Open.
You cannot use chapters that are listed as Missing or are currently in use by other
users.
2
To include the entire book, make sure no chapters are selected. To choose one chapter,
click it. To select consecutive chapters, press Shift while you click them. To select
nonconsecutive chapters, press Command/Ctrl while you click them.
3
Next to the Export as PDF button is the Single File check box :
• Check the check box to generate a single PDF for all or selected chapters. You will be
prompted to enter a file name for the PDF.
• Leave the check box unchecked to generate multiple PDFs per chapter. You will be
prompted to enter a file name for the PDF and the first chapter is exported with the
given name and subsequent chapters use the same name with the suffix _002, _003
etc.
