Question

Some headers printing twice

Hello all of you RoboHelp Gurus!

I'm creating a PDF copy of my project to insert as a baggage file to allow users to print (which works beautifully by the way! Thank you so much for the help with that!) but my PDF copy has/had a couple issues.

The first one was the blank pages every so often, but I found the solution to that one here in the forums.

The second one is that my Header #1 and Header #2 are printing twice. Not the topic, just the headers. What's weird is it doesn't really look like it's an exact duplicate in some cases. In some, not all, the first instance of the header is aligned left, then the second instance is centered. (It should be aligned left.)

I found (on grainge.org) the duplicate topics issue and tried creating a whole new style sheet for one of the pages, but it still did the same thing.

Any ideas?

Cheryl

It is more likely that what you are seeing is a Book title and a Topic title. Try generating with and without the Maintain HTML Heading Levels ticked. You should see a difference.

Hello Peter and thanks for responding.

Unfortunately, that wasn't it. I tried creating a new Print Doc and unchecked the option, but I still have duplicate headers. The difference that it did make though was it changed the font size of the second instance of the header. Weird.

No. That proves my point. The topic title is now showing in its correct heading level plus you are seeing the book title.

Create a duplicate layout. Edit the book title, how is in my topic. You will see the edited title.
