When I created PDF from RH topic, images are larger than the page border. So, what's the best size in RH for PDF output, or RH isn't the best choice for single-sourcing?

Essentially you need to keep the maximum width to the width of your paper within the margin settings. About 7inches should do it.

RoboHelp is fine for single sourcing. The issue there is the same as with any authoring tool, you have to work within the limitations of the various outputs you use.

Actually, I found out that it has to do more than image size, what about the page numbers, header & footer. I can see that there is no place for defining settings for PDF output. Are there any guidelines for using RH to generate PDF output?

I found this topic in the help about adding headers and footers. Browse through the rest of the section for more information about printed outputs (including Word), although I find it usually helps to have a test project to try out what they say - I think it's quite hard to visualise until you actually play with it.
