Add option to allow the user to selectively export pages in either the DHTML output or a PDF output.
1) Simulation/DHTML output:
Currently, the DHTML exports ALL screens in a plot. If the plot is not fully interactive and the appropriate screens linked, the DHTML export will not work correctly.
If I know that pages 3-6 are fully working and only want to show those, there should be an option to allow me to export only those pages.
Use Case:
I will sometimes create interactive simulations for specific screens within a plot and would like to only export these screens. Such an option would allow me only to export what I need to export and make the overall export content smaller.
2) PDF output:
Use Case:
I often use ForeUI to do quick as well as high-fidelity screen mockups of UI and workflows and then export them into a PDF deck. Having the option to selectively export specific pages in a plot as a PDF will save me time later in Acrobat in removing unnecessary pages.
How would this work?
I suggest adding a Modal upon export that displays all plot pages in a tree. By default, all pages will be checked but the user can elect to uncheck the pages they will to exclude from the output.
Thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestion. It should work well for the PDF exporting.
As for DHTML exporting, it may be difficult to implement since a page can be used by other pages (as master page), it may also be the target page for the “Go to Page” action. There are many other cases that a page will be needed, user’s mind could not cover all the cases, so it is not safe to export some pages from a plot. The simulation may not work well since the lack of some pages, this situation will be very hard to debug and fix.
So before we find a better solution, the DHTML exporting must include all pages.
