RoboHelp

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! I get the following console errors when outputting Frameless HTML on Chrome:DevTools failed to load SourceMap: Could not load content for https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/template/Orange/orange.css.map: HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE DevTools failed to load SourceMap: Could not load content for https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/template/scripts/topicpage.js.map: HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE DevTools failed to load SourceMap: Could not load content for https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/template/Orange/orange.css.map: HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILUREOn Firfox I only get one error about the "orange.css.map". I have done a lot of searching and not found any explanation as to what these files are nor how to avoid getting these warnings.

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

This apparently has been a long-standing issue.   I ee a prior post on the subject here in relation to RH 2019 but I see things have not changed since then. This is a defect in the product and I think a fix should be a high priority. The problem:  We have multiple authors working on th same RH project.   I use MacOS, the others are Windows.   In the output presents you currently must enter a full pathname for the favicon and the output directory fields.   If you try to enter a relative path name (such as "../output/pub1/") you actually get an error message that this is not allowed. On the Mac full pathnames start with "/" and on Windows it starts with a drive letter like "C:/".   So Mac Users and Windows users cannot use the same presets. More than that, if the output directory is in a user directory, the path name will include the user directory root element.   So presets cannot be shared for that reason as well.   The soluti

Hello, From my experience, the tags <b></b> or <i></i> are not rendered into the PDF output. Therefore I created a style 'Bold', which creates a <span> tag in the html source code each time I need to bold a word. I think that <span> tag can be annoying when exporting to the Xliff format for the translation agency.  Indeed, in the translation tool, the xliff shows very long <source> tags with ids that make it quite unreadable... ----------------------------------E.g.  <source xml:space="preserve" xml:lang="en-US"><g id="/html[1]/body[1]/p[3]/span[2]/" ctype="x-html-span" equiv-text="span text"><g id="/html[1]/body[1]/p[3]/span[2]/span[1]/" ctype="x-html-span" equiv-text="span text"><g id="/html[1]/body[1]/p[3]/span[2]/span[1]/#text[1]/" ctype="x-html-text" equiv-text="text">Hello</g></g></g><g id="/html[1]/body[1]/p[3]/span[3]/" ctype="x-html-span" equiv-text="span t

Our RoboHelp project is under source control and ideally we would like our generated output to appear in a folder relative to where the .rhproj file is located. Robohelp 2019 does not allow relative paths, which is a pain if multiple writers are working on the project (they have their own copies, and the project is under source control). Any workarounds other than a directory symbolic link?

My question involves importing a FrameMaker or RoboHelp project into Madcap Flare.In the past, I produced my documentation as follows:* Content was generated in FrameMaker. A PDF was generated using FrameMaker.* RoboHelp was linked to FrameMaker. Content from FrameMaker was automatically updated in RoboHelp. WebHelp was generated using RoboHelp.The content in both FrameMaker and RoboHelp was identical.I now want to import that content into Madcap Flare. Here is my question:* Is it better to import the content from FrameMaker into Flare? Or from RoboHep into Flare?In other words, what are the pros and cons of each option?Thank you for any comments you can provide!Keith

Hello Team,My teammate and I need to collaborate on a couple of projects, and want to start using RH2019 (Reimagined) and SharePoint Online for source control.Source RH version: RH2019 (Classic)New RH version: RH2019 (Reimagined, V2019.0.14, the latest patch)SharePoint version: Office 365 The following is some information and issues we have run into during the Connection Profile creation:We upgraded the project to RH2019 (Reimagined).We made some CSS/Master page updates, generated the Responsive HTML5 output and decided to upload the project to SharePoint. We consulted with the RH2019 online help doc (https://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/user-guide.html/robohelp/using/sharepoint.ug.html) and determined that we first need to create a Connection Profile to establish our connection to SharePoint.When we attempted to create a Connection Profile, we experienced different results.

Greetings, I use Adobe RoboHelp Classic 2019.  We use .chm as our primary output and for some other requirements, we also print the project in MS-Word. Recently, I noticed some of the chapters aren't getting included in the Word output.  Does anyone have any pointers as to what may be the reason? Regards,Ranjit 

Hi - I am new to Robohelp. With individual subscription, will there be any issue if I want to uninstall and then reinstall?  

I know this has been discussed a few times but I had trouble finding the solution to my question. If it has been answered kindly send me the link to the solution. I am using Robohelp2019 and am wanting to add a button that will email the URL link to a topic page. I've tried solutions that return either the name of the htm document or gives the path to the document on the server. I am wanting a link to the URL where the recipient can click and be directed to that particular page of the manual. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Everyone. What is it called when you set a specific topic to open first? Not "default topic," which it may have been called in a much older version of RH. I'm looking for this in the RH User manual, but can't find it. Thank you! 

Hello,I am not sure if I am just missing a step here.  I am using the mac RH 2020.3.36 build.  I use git (bitbucket) for versioning control.  After deleting my merged branches on bitbucket, I am still seeing them as available branches when i go to Collaborate > Switch Branches.  I have tried the refresh button, Status Refresh, and closing/opening the app. Is there some profile file that i need to edit to remove these deleted branches from the dropdown?
