Bear with me on this one.

My reaction when asked was, No. But, I thought I'd post to see what y'all have done.

It is important to me that this process be mostly automated.

The situation: I have a book file that gets printed to PDF. And, I have another book file that gets outputted as CHM. The PDF and CHM are for the same product, but they contain different material.

Currently, the PDF is shorter, in terms of 8.5x11-in. pages, than the CHM by 450 pages. So, there are items in the index of the CHM that are not in the index of the PDF, because those items don't exist in the PDF. The index of the PDF is a smaller subset of the index of the CHM.

Question: Is there an automated way to create for the book that creates the PDF a list of index entries such that the complete index listing is created and when a topic does not exist in the PDF, a reference to "See online help" is created?

Thought I'd ask.

CheerZ.
