RoboHelp

Greetings RHelpers,I'm using the latest RH 2017 with an Responsive HTML5 layout:The picture below shows a topic from our help. I want to remove the red crossed out content from the Search pane results (it's already in the search results largely anyway). I want to just start it with the paragraph content (the orange): Is it possible? If so, where and how?Thank you in advance.Jared

How do you make sure you are creating a RoboHelp 2019 project in the Classic UI? After creating a project in the new UI, I want to create another project, but in the Classic UI.When I choose "New Project" I don't get an option.

I"m trying to add a custom button to a responsive HTML5 layout, and trying to use the script referenced here in the Javascript code:https://community.adobe.com/t5/robohelp/how-can-i-add-a-button-to-email-a-link-to-the-current-topic/td-p/10165717?page=1 Here's the code I enter:window.location=('mailto:someone@theirdomain.com?Subject=Useful Information&body=This page might help: ' + window.parent.frames[1].frames[1].document.title +' ' + escape(window.parent.frames[1].frames[1].document.location)) But each time I save the skin, the name of the new custom button reverts back to "button3" and the code I pasted into the OnClick field disappears.  Can anyone provide some guidance?

Я скачала  приложение неделю назад, попробовала бесплатную подписку. Мне не понравилось приложение и бесполезное.Я сразу в тот же день удалила . с меня сегодня (12.05.2020) сняли сумму 349 рублей,хотя я уже удалила это приложение 

I need to know what topics in a project link to a particular topic.In RH 2019 Classic (and previous versions) I could right click within the topic and select "Link View".That would open a pretty map showing all topic links to and from that topic.I can't find anything equivalent in the new UI. (A bare list would be sufficient.)Thanks.

I would like to add 2 .png files to a topic so that a user can save either or both images to their iPhone or iPad to use. Is it possible to add these files not as the image, but as a file attachment?I currently use RoboHelp2017, version 13.0.3.346.

Hi Peter,When I use Indigo Skin in RoboHelp 2019:1) I want to customize the "Welcome to Help Center" with my company name. Can I do that? If yes, how?2) Can I change the Copyright 2019 to Copyright 2020?Thank you!

Hi, Everyone.I'm looking for detailed documentation of how to configure a frameless skin in the skin editor. Adobe tech support has not been able to point me to any documentation or tutorial that I'm not already familiar with.I'm willing to buy a book. But neither I nor my employer are willing to spend $750 on a training course.Here's everything I've studied. None of it goes beyond even the most basic instruction for using the skin editor:Adobe RH 2019 Help ManualAdobe RH 2019 User Guide (online)TutorialsPoint RH GuidePeter Grainge's "tour" of RH 2019the PFA User guide ("Using RH 2017")Adobe Demo #1: "RoboHelp Reimagined" (Quick Start tutorial)Adobe Demo #2: "Upgrading and Advanced Features"Matt Sullivan video:  Tech Comm Tools Tutorial for RH 2019 Neil Perlin:  RH 2015 (LinkedIn Learning)RH 9 (LinkedIn Learning)Thank you.  

Hi, Everyone. Whenever I add conditional build tags to a TOC, I get a fail-error when generating output. Thanks!

Can we open the source of RH 2017 in RH 10? and vice versa?RH 10 gives multiscreen html5 output is that the same as responsive?

HiI did create a video using Captivate 2019, and the options are to insert the video as Video File, YouTube, Vimeo and Adobe Captivate Demo. In my case it is a Video File. By doing so the project size increases. I intend not to increase the project size and to store the videos in a location on a server and play it from there as we click the video file on the doc. Does RH2019 support the above functionality? If yes, may I know how can this be achieved?

When I insert the Field with the date "yyyy" format, it inserts in the HTML the following code:<?rh-variable_start name="date" format="yyyy" showcode="showcode" value="43956.371377" ?>. What value="43956.371377" means? Is it safe to delete it? What role it plays?

I renamed a repurposed RH Manual to the proper name by changing the xpj file name.  When I opened the project, all of my links were broken and when I try to repair the breaks, the project cannot see all the htm files in the folder.  I cannot even rebuild my TOC because it is not pointing to the folder where the htm folders reside now.  How can I fix this?

Does anyone know how to edit the spacing after the headings?

I need to insert Notes/tips in a formatted box with a different color. Is there a way to do that rather than inserting "text boxes'?

Hi everyone,Question for all you wise people:I have a FM2019 book with conditional text applied to some topics.The Frame book is linked to a RH Classic 2019 project.After importing the FM content into RH, the conditions are also imported with the topics.In RH I have created build expressions to exclude some content from the output.When I generate the output I get weird results:The topics appear in the TOC even though they should not.The topics are empty.Seems that RH is excluding the content from the build but not excluding the topics from the TOC. From the RH 2019 Classic user guide p283:Table of contents: A TOC book or page that is linked to an excluded topic doesn’t appear inthe Contents pane. What am I doing wrong?Thanks

While investigating how to embed videos in a completely GDPR-compliant way, I couldn't find a good way to set it up to open a resizeable window. It should open in a new browser window or tab but without the whole UI shebang - that's not possible with just adding target="_blank" to the <a href="...">. And the pop-up feature in RoboHelp doesn't create a resizeable video either. This is what we want to create: Just a placeholder (a classic <a> link based on text or on a thumbnail image) in a topic (not the RoboHelp standard video embedding or a <video> tag); the link would contain the video ID on YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com).From that link, the video player should pop up in a predefined size which must be easily resizeable. That's mandatory for our kind of videos:  users need to adapt the video's content to their needs depending on how large their display is and how small the details in the videos are (like text in a software screencast). Most of ou

Can somone tell me what are the common gotchas which might lead to the style font vanishing in building a CHM help file? Specifically, my google font is replaced with Times New Roman. The font is on the build PC; I thought that was all that was needed for CHM builds. As it happens, the fonts are in the project anyway, because I have been doing some research into moving to a more modern output format. That looks like it's coming to nothing, for reasons outside of my control. One way or another I'd have thought Robohelp has what it needs to package the font properly. This has worked before but doesn't now and I can't see why.  

For the time being, I'll assume that everything I'm unhappy with is my fault :-} but when I start from a FrameMaker book and generate Responsive HTML5 there are quite a few things that have me raising my eyebrows in surprise. Can someone recommend an online walkthrough/tutorial/introduction?

Hi all,I have a problem with the substring search in the HTML5 output. I am using RH2019.0.12 new UI, but the problem also occured with update 11. The search settings for my output are as follows:Use topic description = trueEnable auto complete = trueAuto correct search query = falseShow definitions from glossary = trueEnable substring search = trueAdd special characters for search = falseGenerate XML sitemap = false In my output, I have several topics containing the word "Primäreinzelkosten". If I search for "primär", I only get results containing exactly the word "primär", but not the "primäreinzelkosten". If I search for "primä", I get no results at all. If I search for "prim", I get all topics containing "primär", "primäreinzelkosten" and "primrose" or whatever. So the substring search seems to have a problem with the "ä". The substring search works as expected for example when searching for topics containing the word "Kostenblock". They are found whether I search for "koste",

I need to import PDFs as PDFs (not as RH files) into a frameless project I am trying to create. These PDFs need to be searchable (i.e., if a user searches for a key word or concept, the portal should be able to deliver search results by browsing through all available PDFs on my site). How do I make this happen? I understand importing PDFs is not an option in Robohelp 2019 as yet - that I can only link PDFs. Can a global search run through all the 'linked' PDFs? I attempted to 'bring in' PDFs using the Assets folder (former Baggage folder?). Now how do I set up links so that these PDFs are viewed in the output? How and where do I create these relative links? Please add 'Import PDF' option as a feature request in Robohelp 2019. 

If I include the TOC in a Word export, when you open the destination Word document you get a dialog, 'This document contains fields that may refer to other files. Do you want to update the fields in this document?' which builds the ToC.It's not a big deal to open the document, accept the prompt and save but for a large document (almost 1000 pages) it takes a while. Is that expected and is there any way to automate this step? Secondly; is it possible to locate the Table of Contents somewhere other than right at the start of the output? I'd like to have a title page first which I can probably acheive with a Word template but the more I can do in RH, the better.Thanks.

I have a responsive html5 output, works perfectly as expected. Even the search works on both Chrome and IE.Today I just added a small not in a table that says, To download the Release Notes click here and linked click here to a PDF that resides in a folder in the project.The download also works fine.Now, if I search for the keywords Release Notes, it says results not found. If I search the word download, it searches and displays the results with a yellow highlight...very strange. Why whould it not search the term Release Notes?

I am using a responsive html output and only one of my index entries is displaying. 

When I export to PDF all my topics start on a new page. Can I change this? In the word output preset there is an option that allows you to configure whether or not you want all the topics to start on a new page. There is no option like this in the pdf output. All the topics in my project are H1. But I want them like this for the responsive html output. If I output to Word, the TOC displays as a flat list of topics because all my topics are H1.
