My company is just starting to develop applications for mobile devices (cell phone, iPad

, etc.). Can anyone tell me whether RoboHelp is the best Adobe application for devel

oping online help for mobile devices or if some other application should be used? Thanks.

RH's dev team has just released a script for publishing help in the ePub format (see http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2010/04/robohelp_script_to_generate_epub_format_content_for_mobile_d.html). But I haven't heard too much about anybody really using it much.

Hi Jeff,

Yes, I just happened to find that. Unfortunately, that script was developed for RoboHelp 8 and we are still using RoboHelp 7. Do you happen to know if it works with RoboHelp 7? Thanks.

• Writing is simple. First you have to make sure you have plenty of paper... sharp pencils... typewriter ribbon. Then put your belly up to the desk... roll a sheet of paper into the typewriter... and stare at it until beads of blood appear on your forehead.

I highly doubt it - RH8 is XHTML output whereas RH7 was HTML based. From what I understand, ePub depends on an XML output. Have you tried out the demo of RH8?
