Question

Download topic as PDF in Framework

Hello!

 

I'm using RoboHelp Version 2020.7.46.

 

I'm currently publishing certain topics, however I'd like people to be able to download the topics as a pdf. 

I have all the pdf's ready and don't need to generate them. In the output skin editor I can see this:

Is it possible to give every topic it's own pdf to download, because if I do this every topic gets the same pdf. 

 

Have a great day!

    Hello!

    If you want the exact content of what is shown to the user, you can just use the "print" functionality embedded in the frameless output. This button is part of the default skins and usually displayed on top of each Mini-TOC in your topics:

    However, there is a bug in the current version cutting off the last couple of lines of the print for topics > 1 page. I already created a bug for this.

    Another option would be the print functionality of the respective browser. Just use the browser menu - Print - Save as PDF.

    If you use the field you have shown, the skin will have a link to whatever PDF you specify there.

     

    To achieve what you want you need to add a link in each topic to the PDF for that topic.
