Click OK. QuarkXPress will open all the chapters, produce the PDF, and then close

be created.
In fields that require you to enter page numbers (for example, the Export as PDF 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."
Creating indexes and tables of contents for books
QuarkXPress lets you generate an index and a table of contents for an entire book.
These functions are accomplished through the lists and indexing features rather than
through the Book palette. However, all the chapters in a book must be Available to
generate a complete list or index.
Indexes for books
Creating an index involves using the Index palette (View menu) to tag text as an
index entry. You specify punctuation for the index in the Index Preferences dialog
