• Specifications with the same name are compared; chapter specifications are edited
as necessary to match specifications in the master chapter.
• Specifications in the master chapter that are missing from other chapters are added
to those chapters.
• Specifications in other chapters that are not defined in the master chapter remain
untouched.
If you make changes that affect the specifications in a book, you will need to
synchronize the chapters again.
You can use synchronization to make global changes to any of the specifications in a
book. For example, if you decide to change a spot color used throughout a book, change
the color's definition in the master chapter; then click the Synchronize Book button
.
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:
