Question

Using different images

Hello,

I have a standard user guide that I have created. However, I want to swap out images depending on who the guide is generated for. Is there an easy way to do this?

example: Company A gets the entire userguide with their images . company B gets the same user guide with their images.

Thanks,

Chris

It depends on the version of RoboHelp, which is why the Sticky Topic in Before You Post asks that all threads are started with the version of RoboHelp being used.

Variables can now include images and that would give you what you need. Including images was introduced in RoboHelp 8.

You need to open the User Defined Variables pod and create some variables. Then create some Variable Sets such as Customer A and Customer B. You will see a dropdown with the names of the sets. Select a name and apply a value to the variable to be used in that set. Select another variable set and do the same.

Hi Chris,

You can use conditional build tags. Create a Company A tag and a Company B tag and apply the tags to the images. Then exclude the Company A tag from Company B's single source layout, and the Company B tag from Company A's single source layout.

Hope this helps.

Jennifer
