There are a number of different setting you can select to control what is generated. Some options are only available for certain document types.
Provisions etc. to include
By default all provisions in a document (or all amendments in an amendment list) are included in the PDF.
But you can select a subset using this dropdown. You can select any combination of provisions/amendments. They don’t need to be next to one another or of the same type. For example you can select a Part of a Bill (which will include all the sections in a Part) and some individual sections elsewhere in the Bill.
Tracked changes
These settings relate to if and how tracked changes in the document are rendered in the PDF.
Show tracked changes: all tracked changes will be visible in the PDF.
Show changes applied: in this case the PDF will show as if all the changes had been accepted.
Include side-lining: if this option is selected, side-lining will be included in the margin to indicate where changes have been made to the text.
