I have been asked to add PDFs into a user guide which is in RoboHelp 9.  I am unable to figure out how to insert the PDF into my topic.  How can this be accomplished or is this impossible to do?

Thank you.

    Thank you!

    Can you tell me how to generate a .chm file from Robohelp? Or how it is done?

    Thank you again!


    Hello again

    Sure thing. First, you click View > Pods > Single Source Layouts. Then double-click the Microsoft HTML Help layout to reveal the dialog and allow you to compile.

    Cheers... Rick

    Hi and welcome to the RH community.

    Are you saying you want a link to a PDF? If so, the way I handle this is to add a hyperlink to the PDF which automatically imports the PDF and places it as a Baggage File in the Project Manager pod. When you add the hyperlink, just click the down arrow next to the "Link to" field and select File.

    No, the user wants the actual PDF imbedded into the topic. Is this do-able?

    Thank you for responding so quickly.

    Hi Michele

    The shortcut control will work in much the same manner as the link will.

    You might try inserting an inliine frame and specifying the PDF as the source if you wish to present the content directly on the page.

    Cheers... Rick
