I am writing help for an application that has many user roles. The help
files, which will be in PDF format, will be customized so that you see help
only for the roles you can perform.
This may seem like a "duh" kind of question, but here goes. In the past, any
PDF I produced was a complete user guide: title page, TOC, etc. But for this
project, where the help that is available is more like a "menu" of files
(after you click Help, a page displays that lists the major help topics,
which are links to PDFs, for your tasks.) Since most of these topics are
going to be no more than a few pages, having each one have a title page,
TOC, etc. seems like overkill. But I can't think of a better, more
streamlined way to do it.
