I want to print my chm with the print-symbol. It´s perfect If I print each topic seperate. But if I want to print "current topic and sub-topics" there are several problems

with missing pictures and wrong font. How can I solve this problem?

Hi there

Ahhh yes. The ages old issue of wanting to commit to paper, that which was designed to appear on screen!

The best way you can accomplish this is to create a PDF version of your help system and provide that to the end user. I would then disable the print icon so it did not appear, then either add a custom icon or TOC entry that pointed to a page with a link to the PDF.

Cheers... Rick

Is there a possibility to delete the option "print current topic and sub-topics"?

I doubt it Janine. This is part of the Microsoft HTML Help engine functionality and has nothing to do with RoboHelp or any other HAT.

The style issue could potentially be fixed. See snippet 46 on Peter Grainge's site:
