Question

Can the "search feature" in Robohelp search for words in imported pdf documents?

Hello,

I've put together a collection of imported .pdf documents into a topic. Is there any way to have the search feature in Robohelp search the contents of the attachments?  I'm sure this is a NO but was wondering if there are other ideas out there?  Thank-you!

If the pdf files are baggage files and included in the output (not just links to a different server location), the search should find terms in the pdf files without any other work. However, do check your single source layout/output settings to make sure you haven't excluded pdf files from search in the "Exclude Baggage File Types from Search" field
