Hiding Pages?

[Gillian Flato]

When I had that problem I just created two book files. After I make one
book file, I do the following:

1. Highlight everything in the other book
2. Hit Cntrl F5 and set my conditions
3. Update my book.

That's it, simple, no problem maintaining two books. 

Thanks,

Gillian Flato

I had the same problem with multiple conditions and finally realized
that 
you can't apply a condition at the chapter (file) level. I ended up
using 
Structured FrameMaker with the Sourcerer plug-in. I used attributes at
the 
top level (file or section) to condition entire files. This works very 
well, but of course, you have to use Structured FrameMaker. 
I never found a way around that problem  and was reluctant to maintain 
different versions of the book file. However, if you make your
conditional 
content part of the previous chapter, you should be able to hide it when

it's printing or conversion time, with page numbering intact.

The way you describe this, it almost sounds like your drawings and parts
lists aren't part of a text flow, but inserted directly onto pages. Is
that what you're doing? Or is everything in the main text flow, but
you're using custom master pages? 

In any case, the simplest solution is probably to forget about
conditions and set up multiple books instead, one for each brand. You
can do this very quickly using File > Save Book As. All four books would
be identical except for the 2-page chapter with the parts list and
drawing -- there'd be four of those. (I'm assuming the same generated
TOC, LOF, etc., will work in all 4 books, which should be true if all 4
brand-specific files have the same heading(s), e.g., "Parts List," not
"Acme Parts List.") 

You originally said:

But there's no need for 4 updates. If the books are identical except for
one file, and that file is always 2 pages in each book, then pagination
will always be the same in all 4, and updating one book updates them
all. 

HTH!
