Question

PDF output generated through Webhelp (created using RH) doesn't reflect the font specifications. Also, need help w.r.t. track changes.

Hi,

I need help with the following things:

1. The print output created from webhelp (created using RH) files, shows only plain text. The webhelp output shows bold text (wherever necessary) whereas the PDF doesn't. We use Adobe Acrobat to create/convert webhelp to PDF. Is there something we are missing? Please help.

2. All updates we made using the track changes feature in RH aren't really distinguished (or show any different) when we create the webhelp output. The changes reflect as plain text in webhelp and aren't really highlighted (different text color, for example). For now, we are manually highlighting the text using different background colors, which is rather effort-intensive. I do know there is an option to create PDF for review, however, the client team has specified that they'd need webhelp files converted to PDF (using Acrobat). Is there a better way of doing this?

Request someone to throw some light on this.

Thanks in advance.

Much regards,

Raksha

Regarding 2., I believe the track changes feature is only intended for peer review, rather than SME review, and as such is only available to people opening the Robohelp projects in Robohelp. It cannot be exported to webhelp, for example.

PDF Review is intended for SME review, however this means any notes/queries/points-of-interest you want to convey to the SMEs have to be marked in the topics pretty much as you are currently doing.

Please feel free submit a feature request: Adobe - Site Area Temporarily Unavailable

erm...well...when they fix the page...this is where I got the link from: RoboHelp Learn & Support

Also, a useful technique for putting review comments in is discussed here:
