Multiple PDFs from a single bookmap

Hi,
We use master bookmap concept for generating our webhelp output. This master bookmap contains 90 chapters, which further call the module bookmaps (child bookmap). In addition to webhelp, we also have to provide PDF output for each of these child bookmaps.
One way is to generated the PDFs for each child bookmap individually. Is there any way that we can use the one single master bookmap to publish these 90 PDFs separately?
Thanks
Garima

Hello Garima,

No there's not, if you transform a master bookmap, the result will be one single PDF containing the 90 chapters.
The only way to get 90 separate PDF is to run 90 separate transformations. But you can create a script that could loop for each chapter and run the transformation for you using Oxygen Publishing Engine.

Regards,
Julien

We use Astoria as our CCMS, the publishing engine won't be of much help here.

Hello Garima,

I think you should directly ask Astoria then. I don't know how the publishing part works within the CCMS.
