Openkneeboard - how do you have different PDFs per aircraft?

[HoneyBadger]

I've added Chuck's Guide for the F-16 but I also want to add his guides for other aircraft. Is that possible without every Chuck Guide being viewable for every aircraft? If I load the F-16, will it only display Chuck's guide for that aircraft even if I have other guides saved into OpenKneeboard?

Like this:

I can also highly recommend Kneeboard Builder, which even lets you remove ALL the default kneeboards, (comes back after updates), so you can have only the charts you need in a mission.

But doesn't that mix in the PDF with my kneeboard? I'd prefer to have the PDF be on it's own tab within OpenKneeboard if possible.

Not sure what you mean. If you put kneeboards for the F-16 in that structure. You will only see them in the F-16. Never tried OpenKneeboard.
As for Kneeboard Builder. It's for making and handling kneeboards in the structure above. The structure is native to DCS.

No, the pages that you place inside an aircraft subfolder are visible only when you pilot that aircraft. The pages that you place outside such subfolders are visible on every aircraft you fly.

I mean, if I have a kneeboard with checklists, will the PDF guide be in the same tab as the checklists?

The kneeboard is just a bunch of "pictures". If you put them there, where I showed you, formatted correctly. They will show in ONLY that module. Why would they show up in another module when all the different folders are defined.
Apologies, maybe I misunderstood you now.
Cheers!

Edit: You ask a question in the OP. The answer is YES, if you do it the way showed you. I'll have a go at the OpenKneeboard.

Sorry, I don't know about tabs, probably its a feature of your OpenKneeboard .. I use just the normal DCS Kneeboard, paired with the KneeboardBuilder utility for converting from PDF to PNG.

You can create different profiles.
I use that for different modules, and for single player vs multiplayer with my squadron
