I have imported a 40 page Word document into Robohelp 2019. This Word doc was originally in landscape, however the output of RoboHelp is in portrait, resulting in cutting off images and tables.  How can I change the orientation of the page in the output Word or PDF? 

Hi have many, many graphics of toolbar icons set to 26 x 26 px. In my text, I want to link the text that identifies each icon so that a popup opens and the user sees the icon in the popup. When I add a hyperlink  to the text and then select custom-sized popup, I set the height and width of the popup to 30px, BUT, this works only for the height - the width refuses to budge below some pre-defined value that I cannot figure out for the life of me what it is even though my code view shows 30 px. I have attached a picture to demonstrate this. This is driving me buggy because (1) it shows the popup borders, which I don't and (2) it looks like crap in the output. I just want the icon to be displayed in what appears to the user's eye to be just the icon - i.e., not in any container that shows borders. Any thoughts of how to deal w/ this?   Moderator: Image added to body.

I created a new style that would indent under a numbered list or bulleted list item (used for aligning pictures under the text of the list item or the result text under the list item). I put the style in the Paragraph styles (p.list.continue) and Div Styles (div.list.continue). However, selecting it as a div style doesn't format as it should and as a paragraph style doesn't even appear in the Topic Style panel.The only way I could make the text or picture format as formatted in the style was to work in the source code. For example:<li>Enter a name for the case in the Case Name box.<div class="list">Enter a short description about the case in the Description box.</div><div class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> The description is for your information and identification. It will not appear in the exported case.</div></li> This kind of defeats the purpose of having a user-friendly, easy to use application if you have to work in the source

I have the latest RH 2017 and Word Version 2002 (12527.20278) from Office 365 RoboHelpers,In RH, I'm trying to create a new folder and chapter in an existing RH project. I'm interested in importing just the structure from Word to get the topics created for this new chapter. (I'll add the actual documentation into each topic later.) To that end, the Word document I'm importing only contains the headings. The topics import fine.But the TOC is empty. I've created the TOC in the word document with the desired 4 TOC headings. Is this a bug, or am I missing something? Admittedly, it's been a while since I've had to import something from Word but I think I'm doing it right. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you for your help.

Dear All,If I click Help and then Updates, nothing happens.I would like to install update 12 of RH 2019. Has anybody encountered the same problem? Thanks in advance for your feedback. Regards, Carel.

Hey,   We are currently using RH2019 update 10, with a rather large project (~2300 topics). After initiating a search and clicking on a result, we are getting a huge performance drop... load times being between 200 secs to just crashing the browser (Chrome 79.0.3945.117, IE11). We have also tested and observed this issue with update 9 of RH2019.   This is only an issue in the Frameless output as we were able to generate a Responsive HTML5 output and had no issues with the search.   This doens't seem to be an issue with lunr doing the search but something within the Robohelp functions that gets executed once a page is loaded with ?rhsearch=something in the url.   Is anyone else experiencing this type of slowness with the new frameless skin?

Hi all,I have been trying to figure out which of my topics are not in my map. Is there any way to do this? I could not find a report that does the trick.Thanks and regardsKarin

Hello while testing, I came along something strange.Could find just made products in 'my document'.My document is mapped to my d:users/me/documents/ (space reason of course) for several years alreadywhenever I create a new project in RH, RH stores it in c:users/me/documentsof course when looking for the freshly created project, you click on the 'my document' quick acces icon, and cannot find it.How to change in RH the My document path? No other application uses C: for my document stored data....I would prefer to not change this path manually at every project creation best regardsOlivier

HiI am using Robohelp 2019.0.12 Is there a way of adding new Statuses to topics. We have 'Draft', 'In review' etc. but I would like to add my bespoke statuses. Is this possible? ThanksMichelle

Unlike RH2019 Classic, when I import my word document into RH2019 New UI, the internal hyperlinks (those linking or referencing other chapters within the doucment) do not work.  When I click on them using the control key, it opens a duplicate window in Internet Explorer. But it does not go to the hyperlink location. External hyperlinks work just fine.   All the hyperlinks work just fine in RH2019 Classic when importing the same document.   Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated to get these internal hyperlinks to work non-Classic RH2019.   Thank you,   Ken 

Hello, where can I change the title of the chm file (the main project of a merged chm project)? I've read the posts for the old versions. Would think it is by creating a window settings. Inserting a space in de name is immediately replaced by an underscore. So the real title is not there. Anyhow I change another bit there (left out glossary) and save it.then I go the the output presets and edit microsoft html. Under Layout I indicate default window ('settings' would be nice to add there, it is confusing) and choose the just create window (setting). compile. Nothing changes. I've also tried to edit the *.win file with an editor (caption tag). To no avail...best regards Olivier

Hello everyone, I have an internal request. I work with Robohelp 2017 (and 2019 in one month). I'm looking to find out if it is possible to communicate with the search engine of a Webhelp output from a software we devellop.For example: the user works with our software, he can search in it (with a tool we will develop). The charachtere string is sent to the search engine of the online help located in our servers.The web browser opens, the search has been performed in the online help and the answers are displayed in the usual place.Is that  possible to do that ? Is there a file in which can we could send the "string" ? whfdhtml.htm ? Thank you !  

Hi Team,Cant able to import the Word  file. Getting the Document Read Error "Cannot read filename.docx Make Sure that the document is closed". Even though i have closed all the .docx files.  

When compiling in RoboHelp, the file fails constantly about 3/4 of the way through. compiling a 2017 Robohelp file in the 2019 version of Robohelp.

Does RH 2019 new UI support image hotspot feature?

Environment:Win10RoboHelp 2019.11 NewFramelessOrange (modified) Create this in RoboHelp: How it appears in the output: Problem:The build/compile process is inserting a backslash immediately prior to each double-quote. Workaround:Use a single-quote character instead of the double-quote character; those publish correctly. This is a bug, right?

I have a merged RH2019 project, with the merged project comprised of 20 individual projects. All the individual projects are at the same directory level. In 11 of these projects, I have a common topic that details a particular dialog box and all the options on all the tabs on the dialog box.I created the necessary topics (5 in total that addressed this dialog box - one for each tab on the dialog box) in the default merge project for my merged help, and then I attempted the following in one of the projects that also required this topic:1.) In my TOC, created a new page entry.2.) In the Properties for this new page entry, for the Source,  clicked on the Update Link URL icon and on the Update Page dialog box that opens, I select Local Files.3.) I then click the Browse icon next to the File Path field, and I browse to and select the local topic file.4.) I click Done and then Apply.And zip, zilch, nada . . the topic page remains even if I close and re-open it. If I copy these common fi

We have published Update 12 of RoboHelp 2019. Go to Help > Updates to update your version. Here are more details about this update: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/robohelp/kb/fixed-issues.html

If I create a popup that contains only a graphic (RH 2019, Version 11), in the Preview mode of RH, the link works as expected and the popup shows the graphic. In the actual output opened in a browser, the link is dead. . .I have attached a graphic showing this difference - the graphic on the left is in Preview mode and the graphic on the right is the same link when opened in a browser. Why would a graphic only popup cause such problems?  

Another basic question!I have a topic containing a few paragraphs of text. A way down the page, I want an image on the left, with some relevant text on the right... then more paragraphs beyond that.Sometimes the text to the right of the image will be deeper than the image itself, but I don't want the text to wrap back under the image, so the only way I can see of doing this in the UI is inserting a table. I'm still getting into the basics of figuring out how to apply styles for all the various elements in play; the table, rows, columns, the style applied to the image itself, and the text to the right. Selecting those elements and adjusting them in the UI is fiddly.I could get into the source and am comfortable with the code and with CSS, but I'd really like to do this in the UI.How do experienced users approach something so simple?Thanks 🙂 EDIT: This is in RH 2019.0.11

I've created a merged project by linking FrameMaker documents in RH. When I generate the Multiscreen HTML5 output, the TOC displays all the topics and the context-senstive help also works. However, when I open the CSH test in the toolbox to test if my MapIDs actually work, the TOC is not displayed at all. I have to give the files to the developer but before I do so, I have to make sure the MapIDs work. I'm using TCS 2017. Can I get some help on this, please? Our developers will access the online help using a URL. 

Dear All,I have 1 registered domain in which I need to build 4 projects.Let's call them A, B, C and D.The users accessing the website, will be subcribed to one or more projects.I want to structure the individual projects in such a way, that when a subscribed user executes a search in Project B, the search will be limited strictly to the contents of Project B; in other words, no content of Projects A, C and D should be retrieved.I don't know how to do that and I also don't know whether it requires to use 4 separate projects or that it can also be done in a different way.Ideally, I would like to use one landing page, from where the subscribed user can jump to the project they're entitled to use. I know there's a lot of brainpower & experience in this forum, so my question to you is:please enlighten me. My workflow will be: FrameMaker 2019 > RH2019 (frameless HTML5) > website on the Internet. I don't have existing content, so nothing needs to be converted.I j

 Hi i am working from home and connected by RSA token to my work drives.  I am trying to publish to computer a course for review.  I usually publish a zip to my desktop, but today I got this message and cant seem to publish to any of my work folders or to one drive or to my desktop.  Please help!  What am I doing wrong?     

Hello Adobe Support Community,Using RoboHelp 2017, I have topics which contain a question or question(s) for users to answer Yes or No to.  Each answer is programed with drop-down text to provide the user with the appropriate steps to take. Everything looks great when a topic is opened through the TOC; however, when a user searchers for the topic, the drop-down text is swapped when viewing the topic within the "Search" tab. When Yes is selected, the drop-down answer for No is displayed and visversa. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or knows of a fix?
