Can someone please provide step-by-step instructions to add Print button on Webhelp. I'm currently using Robohelp 10. I saw some suggestions using javascript in skin, but there isn't a step-by-step procedure available.

I have been seraching for this from past many days. It'd be of great help to me. Thanks!

Thank you very much for your quick reply. It was really helpful. However, I still can't see the button the webhelp output. 

1. Created a new skin

2. In the new skin, I added this print button and followed all steps explained (adding inline javascript and calling the function in the action tab under onClick, etc)

3. I could see the preview of this being perfectly fine.

4. But, when I generated the output by compiling it again, I could not see the changes I made in the webhelp

4. I am thinking I am missing a crucial step. Is the new webhelp using the new skin? How to know this?

5.  I carried out all the steps as explained, except this "Don't forget to tick the Print button in the second page of the wizard". Could you please let me know which wizard this is and where is the check box to tick the print button?

I am eagerly waiting for your answer. Thanks!

Item 5 will be seen when you generate your help. It is part of the SSL layout dialog.

With that ticked you should see the button.
