RoboHelp

We installed Update 2 for RoboHelp 2017 this week and found that searching from projects that use the Indigo HTML5 layout no longer works from Internet Explorer 11 but it continues to work in Chrome. We had no problem with IE11 prior to applying Update 2. Could this be a bug in Update 2? Is there a workaround? How can I remove Update 2?

Usually, the topic which is bound to the chapter is a summary of the chapter.Chapter 1 (Topic1)Topic 1-1Topic 1-2Topic 1-3Chapter 2 (Topic 2)Topic 2-1Topic 2-2In PDF output, the TOC is shown as:Chapter 1 Topic 1Topic 1-1Topic 1-2Topic 1-3Chapter 2 Topic 2Topic 2-1Topic 2-2If I generate the PDF output, it will like this:Chapter 1 Topic 1Topic 1-1Topic 1-2Topic 1-3Chapter 2 Topic 2Topic 2-1Topic 2-2Generally, the Chapter title and the title of the bo

Hello there,I am currently using Robohelp 2017 to generate a Webhelp for our product. However, there is a requirement wherein the users should be able to convert the Webhelp (CSH basically) to PDF. Is it possible add an option (a script or otherwise) that can enable the users to save the entire WebHelp in a PDF format? The PDF should use the WebHelp TOC as the basis for structuring.

Hi,I'm using RoboHelp 10, and when I try to generate a chm file, I see the Table of Contents. But when I click on a topic, nothing shows up. I didn't get an error message when I was generating the chm file, so I don't know what the problem is. Has anyone seen this before? How can I troubleshoot?Thanks.

Hello,I am using RoboHelp 2015 to create .chm files.  We are currently upgrading to Windows 10 Anniversary 1607 upgrade.On a machine running the 1607 upgrade, on occasion when closing a .chm file we will get an error that says Microsoft HTML Help Executable has Stopped Working.Opening and closing the same file that caused the error again will not produce the error.  The error appears to be random with no pattern to duplicate it.  For example, I might open a file 10 times with no error and on the 11th try the error appears.  We have many .chm files and the error seems to happen at any time when closing a file.  It doesn't appear to affecting the file itself as it is usable and only happens when closing the file.Has anyone experienced this behavior or know how to eliminate the random error?  It has never appeared on any of our Windows 10 machines before installing the 1607 upgrade.Thank you.John

My client wants to link a very large job aid of a table of common edits (in an Excel Spreadsheet) to the manual (in RH) containing the solution.  Each Excel line item in the table would link to a spot in the manual.  In RH I have each of them flagged as bookmarks.  1.  How can I at least get the bookmarks to show up as subtopics in my table of contents in my generated and published document?2.  How can I link each line item the Excel Spreadsheet over to the bookmark in on the desired page? Right now I can only drill down as far as the page.Thanks in advance for your help.

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.
