Hello,it looks like RoboHelp 2015 exported Help File doesn't work with MS Edge if we use the Responsive HTML5 Layout. Same for the WebHelp export option. Even with the latest update. Can that be fixed?EDIT: It loads forever, that is the problem. The frameset is visible but it loads forever, the loading animation doesn't disappear.Thanks!
I am generating a print output from RoboHelp 10. I have some questions:1. Is there a way in RoboHelp or in Word to scale the size of all images in the document to a constant width?2. Is there a way to output a word document in 2 columns?3. How do we create hyperlinks to the keywords in index? When I output Word output with index, I see only page numbers and no links to the document topics.Best regards,Vinay
Hi adobe,1. If you visit adobe.com on macos with chrome (latest, tested with version 61 or 62) you will get redirected to "upgrade your internet explorer" page.Internet Explorer 10 no longer supported Clearly the browser identification is not working properly.2. I had hard time figuring out where should I report problems with your website. I am doing it here because I gave up searching for more appropriate place. I hope this information will go up to whoever is responsible for the website support.Thanks!

Every now and then when we publish a RoboHelp 2015 project we get the following error message:Publishing has been cancelled.The process cannot access the file becdause it is being used by another process.We do not cancel the publishing, RoboHelp does and it is very discouraging. Why does this message happen and what can we do to stop it from happening again so that we can publish and move onto the next Help File update.Any help you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated!Thanks,Robert
Can you add custom CSS and JS to the Indigo layout Topic "content"? I have added custom CSS and JS and it applies it to the Header and Menu, but it does not change the Topic content. I want to incorporate CSS and JS to change the Topic font and customize Related Links, Parent Topics, Notes, etc. I tried changing the font only, but that only changes the Header and Menu.

We have a project that keeps getting removed from RSC. I just made a new folder, pulled a clean copy, put a space in a topic to verify it would check out, all ok. Rebooted my computer and attempted to open the same project and it indicates it has been removed from version control.We just upgraded to RH 2017 a few weeks back. We added a new user. We installed the RSO3 middle tier patch to the new computer. All of us are running Windows 7 64. All of us have RH2017. 2 of us are coming in via VPN. None of these problems occurred (even with this project) prior to RH2017.Haven't tried to see what the person local to the server see's when he opens the project but that would potentially open a different issue since he has not worked on this project.If I add to version control after opening the project it goes strangely fast and then the other person is prompted with "project has been removed from version control."We are both deleting our .cpd file when the project opens (chec
HiI'm currently updating an Arabic translation of the help for one of our products using RH 2015 (patched to date) on Windows 10. I should mention that this is legacy help which started as Microsoft HTML Help. I have two issues that I haven't been able to fix.- I got the translated files and integrated them into the project, however, it seems as if any sentence (in both the new and the legacy files) that contains an English word is not correctly switched RTL. The sentence is switched correctly up to the English word and then the RTL formatting stops. The result is at best a confusing jumble and at times actually has the opposite meaning of the original sentence. Words that do not translate, such as the company name, appear in UI labels and need to appear in procedures.- The second problem is with bullets and numbering. I have yet to find a way to make the bullets and numbers appear on the right rather than the left of a line. The original method used was to create a table and confine t
Is there a possibility to add a search function which can search in 2 or 3 different modules?For example, I have 3 modules Doors Cameras and Areas. I need 3 different search functionality to search keywords in the 3 modules.Thanks in advance.
HiI liked the Indigo Layout. I would like to use it. But, I would like to customize it. I have seen the Customize Selected Layout option.I am not able to see the option which can allow me to change the Layout in my own way.For example, if I want the TOC on the left side, I don't see any option.If I want to keep the desired topics below the search box, I don't see any option. Though, I can control the number of rows or number of topics.Is there any other way I can customize according to my need this layout.Thanks,Jignesh Shah
I've uploaded all my content (as Word documents which I imported) and need to apply some edits. I decided to make all edits within RoboHelp, rather than doing it in the Word documents themselves, and overwriting all the files, as I thought this might be easier. However, when I imported all my Word docs, I noticed that there is a space in the formatting which I can't seem to erase.The light blue square above is a different shade of blue. When I click on the space to select it, and then hover over it, I can see that it's a "linebreaker".When I hit the delete key, the entire row (line) disappears. When I try to add it back by placing the cursor in front of the letter K, and pressing CTRL + Enter, the line appears again, but now there is a new icon there. How can I delete the Page Break icon? Or will this not appear once this content has been published to the server?
When I am in RoboHelp and open my project the folder and files do not appear in HTML Files (Topics) folder.However, if I open the project in Windows Explorer, I can see the folder and the htm files.How can I get access to these files in the project again?And what would make this happen?Thanks,MDawn
Hi. I am generating user guides in the Responsive HTML5 output. Once the guide displays for me, I am seeing the following at the bottom of all my topic pages:"This is a placeholder for topic contents".I have removed all spaces at the bottom of my topics but the message still displays.I can see the code for this in the screen layout editor but I am not a programmer and am afraid to remove the section for fear of things not displaying correctly.What causes this message to display?Thank you,Michele
I need to change the title that is displayed when the help is run. Where do I change this?
How can I remove the Location column from the search results in a .chm file?I generated the file in Robohelp HTML 9. As far as I know it's used when you've combined more than one source into the final help file. It is possible (though I don't remember doing it) that I did that once a couple of years ago but now I'm only using one source - the project that's generating the .chm.Can anyone tell me how I can remove it?ThanksTom
Hi all,I was playing around with the tools in RH11 and turned on Bug Hunter just to have a look. Now I can't turn it off.When I start RH and open a project I get the message "HTML Help Bughunter cannot be enabled while the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop is running." I haven't started HTML Help Workshop, so I'm unsure why it's insisting it's running. So I click on OK (which is the only option in the message box) then select Tools > Enable Bughunter to try to deselect the option. But instead I get the same message as above and the option remains selected.Any ideas/hacks for turning the thing off again?
I recently got a new PC at work and instead of reinstalling RoboHelp 2015, I installed RoboHelp 2017. After opening my project and reconnecting with the version control, etc., I generated the customized Multiscreen HTML5 layout that I use.After it generates, when I open the index.html for the site, it opens up blank. I have tried creating a new screen layout for the project and get the same result.Opening other pages directly works fine.The source code for the index.htm is:<html> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, height=device-height" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> </head> <body> </body></html>Any help that you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi everyone,Our product links to multiple CHM files authored in Robohelp 2015. Each screen in the product links to a different help topic. For the CHM help, we use help IDs in the .HH file and aliases in the .ALI file.For example, for the help topic which explains how to log in, we have an entry in the .HH file and another in the .ALI file.In the .HH fileIn the .ALI file#define Login 100<alias name="Login" link="its:Help.chm::/Logon.htm"></alias>In our product, we have a function that opens the CHM file and passes the relevant help ID to RoboHelp to display the topic.Now we want to change to responsive HTML5 help published online. But ideally, we'd want to keep the Help IDs that we use in the code.Can help IDs be used for web help?If yes, does RoboHelp use the .HH and .ALI files for web help?For example, would this work for web help? In the .HH fileIn the .ALI file#define Login 100<alias name="Login" link="its:www.webserver.com/Logon.htm"></alias>If not, what is
