RoboHelp

Could someone please tell me if it is possible to import a Dr. Explain project to RoboHELP? It's a .gui file. I'm beginning to think it's not possible, but it'd be useful to get a definitive answer.

RH 2019 Review – Version 14.0.8For anyone interested here's my review of RoboHelp (RH) 2019 Update 8. Note that I posted this earlier in the week on the old forums but it didn't come over with the new forum changeover. So here it is again, with some minor updates. And speaking of the old forum (sigh)... I don't like what I've seen so far in the editor to create new content for the forum. First off, I can't indent text! We all know white space is good for readability. Secondly, I can only use this ugly serif font, Times New Roman or whatever this is. Thirdly... okay, I'll shut up now. This isn't a review of the forums, but perhaps I'll do that one in a later post.) About this ReviewI did this review to determine if RH 2019 offered significant reasons for me to upgrade my software and my projects. I'm currently using RH 2017. I downloaded the trial version (14.0.8) about a month ago and started comparing it against the latest RH 2017, listing the things I liked etc. B

Hi everyone, I just upgraded from RoboHelp 2015 to RoboHelp 2020 and I'm really struggling with it.  It's so different than the Classic version.  I have many existing numbered and bulleted lists.  I was using a custom image as my "bullet" in RH 2015; but that did not come over in the upgrade.  Not only that, but my lists are not indented properly and some have two bullets on one line.  But those are other problems! My main question is...Does anyone know how to simply indent a bulleted list?  You used to be able to just click the Indent button on the toolbar, but that button no longer exists.  Here is the list I am trying to indent.  I want the list indented under the Special Notes heading.  I have many lists similiar to this that I need to indent.  I did see the "Alignment" option once...under the Properties panel, General tab.  However...I cannot get it to come up again and do not know how I got to it.  I have tried tuto

Can we add a short feedback form to the Frameless or Responsive HTML 5 online help output?Perhaps a small form with 1 or two questions about the help content in general. Is that possible?Any idea how to set it up and how can the responses be collected?

Hi, Team is building a reverse-engineered RoboHelp file that uses a lot of images. The rebuild RoboHelp project now contains about 5000 items, most of which are images. Every step in a topic is described with a screenshot that is shown to the user using a dropdown hotspot.   Inserting images took up a lot of our time. We had to search and re-insert the images. We would keep the WebHelp open in the browser, right-click against the image and click Save As to see the name of the png/jpeg/gif and then insert the image using Insert Image function and select the image from within the project folder in the pop-up window that appears, so the path would be  eg. Desktop/RoboHelp Project/image44.png.   The problem now is that for many topics the images are not appearing correctly after generating.   Images that belong to some other topic show up. At the same time, the same topic had displayed correct images in an earlier version of WebHelp.   This version was published wh

Does anyone know if/what Robohelp (2019) uses Creative Cloud Desktop for?   I have a problem that's just started, with it gobbling all my memory and crashing my computer. The CC community advice was to disable it, and I'm just wondering, when I can get IT to log in to my computer, what the implications of disabling it might be.   https://community.adobe.com/t5/creative-cloud-services/creative-cloud-desktop-massive-memory-use-crashing-win10/m-p/11881030#M22045

I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to manage our project in RH2020, after upgrading from RH2015.  I'm currently testing out the RH2020 trial version and am encountering some issues.I've upgraded the project and am trying to import a new word document, with the same document formating as  exisitng ones that were upgraded, and when going through the steps, I get the sussessfully imported message, however the new topic is not reflecting under the contents page.  I was expecting to see the same folder/subfolder format as the upgraded ones, but can understand it may differ as it's gone through a different process (imported oppose to upgraded). Probelm it's not reflecting under the Content list and I can't locate the CH file anywhere.   I fully understand this is most likely user error, as I inherited this project/software, and am trying to learn as I go.   Any assistance you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciate

Making Word output from a simple project. Apply the KB Blank.dotx template, where spacing to 0 before and 10pt after, as shown below. No bullets. When I look at the RH conversion from p to Normal, it shows .001pt spacing after and bullets. (added shot of that below too.) The resulting document uses the .001pt spacing, bullets, which then causes further problems with other styles based on Normal. This happened with several templates. Work around for spacing changed the value to the correct one. And that worked. Settings in the KB Blank.dotx as seen in Word! Very confusing. Very bad. Please shed light on this issue.

I am currently having an issue when using the ‘Collaboration’ feature within RoboHelp 2020.3.32.  My colleague has set up the GitHub connection from his application and managed to create the first commit.  He is able to then pull down the project and has some options available to ‘Push’, ‘Pull’, ‘Commit’ and more.However, I have completed the exact same steps to pull the project down and have managed to obtain a copy of the project, but I am unable to then push any changes back up.  I seem to not have the same options as my colleague has ( Pull, Push, Commit, etc ).  These are the options I have when attempting to use the collaboration feature: ( see image below )  I have followed every step correctly using the Collaborate using GitHub (adobe.com) website help page and I am unable to get this working.  Is there anything I might have missed out? More info below:  I am using the latest version of:   RoboHelp 2020 ( RoboHelp 2020.3.32

Hi, Everyone. I'm trying out browse sequences for the first time (RH 2019, new UI, frameless). When I apply my browse sequence to an output preset and generate output, the process hangs. It gets stuck with the generate dialog open, perpetually indicating the continuing activity. (See screenshot):  When I remove the browse sequence from the output preset, the output generates without any problem. Any advice for me? Thank you!

The previous versions of Robohelp had Captivate so I could save buttons as BMP files. But the 2020 version doesn't come with captivate, So how am I able to cature these files to include in my Help manual.?

My project uses a logo sized at 77x30 px. I'm using this size because it doesn't seem to matter if I change the width in the skin, when I inspect it in Chrome, it says width=30 in body.media-landscape div.header div.logo and I can't seem to change that.  When I generate and publish three versions, Mac, Linux and Windows, in my published versions the logos are very small in Safari, Firefox and Chrome respectively. If I open each version in Chrome, the Windows version is very small, the Mac and Linux versions are larger, the way I want them. If I view my generated Windows output in Chrome rather than the published output, the logo is large, the way I want. Can anyone tell me how to get the logo larger so that it is consistent across any browser and consistent from generate to publish? I had been looking at my generated output locally and thought everything was correct and then when published, was surprised to see it was not the same. TIA

I am new to Robohelp 2019 and developing help for a web based application. Can you please tell me the difference between a Responsive HTML5 output and a Microsoft HTML help output? I do not want my help file to look like a website. I want my help to look like a .chm format with the topics on the left. I will be providing this to my developers with a Map ID file.    Thank you very much. 

I am using RoboHelp server 9.0 to publish my Help with RoboHelp 2017. But now since Flash is no longer supported in 9.0, I want to upgrade it to server 11.0. How do I upgrade ? Do I need to purchase or just migrate the files. Also is Server 11.0  compatible with RoboHelp 2017?

I need to migrate an existing installation to a new host. Though I am able to retrieve the license information of the running hold system, the installation does not proceed, because of an invalid license. The setup says Robohelp 9 32bit server, but the installed version seems to be just Robohelp 9. Was there a difference in versions? How to retrieve Robohelp 9 install files?

Hello All, Is there a way to publish a RoboHelp 2017 project to a Salesforce knowledge article? Or do I need to have an upgraded version of RoboHelp in order to do that?

Hi, Everyone. I've created a master page that is causing issues. When I apply it to an output preset, at least three problems result when I serve the help system on SharePoint: My end-user experiences an unresponsive "Expand All" button. (NOTE:  I do not experience this issue via my computer.)My end-user is unable to open drop-down text. (NOTE:  I am able to open the drop-downs via my own computer.)The end-user sees a table-cell border dividing the two-cell table that I've built into the master page. They're not supposed to see any borders. (NOTE:  I do not see the border via my computer.) Also noteworthy: when I generate output with "None" selected in the Master Page area, the issues do not appear. Here's a screenshot of the master page in question (below). Any advice for me? Thank you!

I've been using RoboHelp Classic 2019. Once I choose HTML5 as output it creates a Responsive HTML5 folder in the SSL folder, so far so good. However, I used to generate CHM of this help (so long ago) and I've had IDs attached to each topic (so that my help it was a context-sensitive help). My doubt is "How can I keep it with HTML5? How can I not lose my IDs for keeping it?". Because when I've generated I didn't find my Map of IDs list (my .H file), so I don't know how to do it. Maybe you can help me, thanks in advance!

I inserted several bookmarks into a snippet content and then created hyperlinks targeting these bookmarks to facilitate navigation on the page (hyperlinks are placed on top of the same snippet content). The problem is that when using these hyperlinks on pages (after generating layout output) using the snippet content, I get an error message indicating that target is not find (the address mentionned is .... /!SSL!/FlashHelp/#bookmarkname). I have two questions : 1- Can we insert bookmarks within a snippet content? 2- Can we create hyperlinks targeting bookmarks where both elements are on the same snippet content? Thanks. Jean Laurier
