Basic question: Book revision best practices

[Syed Zaeem Hosain (Syed.Hosain@aeris.net)]

Hmmm … I should have phrased my comment better … during the PDF generation process, I set/select the correct file name (with version numbers if needed) for the output PDF file.

As far as I can tell, the inter-document links do not break then. (I suppose I could also fix them in the other PDF’s later too, but have not needed to.)

So, I still prefer not to rename the book file itself – no reason to do so, given my use of separate folders.

One note:

Doing this breaks inter-document links, if you generated a set of PDFs while all of their BOOK files were open (the easiest way to do it). I firmly advicate naming your BOOK to match your final PDF; and only using letters, numbers, underscores (_) and hyphens (-) in the file names (mainly for OS interoperability and clean-looking URLs).

YMMV:
