RoboHelp

Hi,I'd like to generate a WebHelp output in RH 11 with a provided skin (i.e. "XP silver"). In the WebHelp-Skin-Editor I do see the navigation bar.Generating the WebHelp, I do not see the navigation bar (Browser is IE11 or Firefox 42). Any Ideas? Any option I forgot to tic before generating?Cheers

Hi,I generated a webhelp that should be called context sensitive in a java application.Our developer uses the provided java api. I did map the topics to the topic IDs to the topic number to the topics. Now I got the .h and the .ali file in my project folder. I did export the .h file so now I got the .properties file in the "ExtraMapFiles" folder.Besides the webhelp output  directory, which file(s) do I have to provide to our developer? The ".properties" file? Where does the developer have to place it?The provided RH help is not very helpful in this case...Cheers

Will creating new topics while working offline sync correctly to the server when I connect again?

I'm having trouble figuring out what's wrong with the buttons in this skin.  The issue is when the help is first opened, all of the labels on the toolbar buttons display.  However, when you click on a button the right thing happens (TOC displays, or Index displays, etc.) but the button "disappears".  How can I keep the name of the button visible while perhaps having it change color or something to indicate it's the active one?I've attached screen shots that I hope will help.  Hopefully they come through with this post.Any help would be appreciated.Diane         

If I click on the main topic and say print from here I get a JavaScript Error.  Some other Topics work fine.  Help please.

Seems a lot of people think you can get robohelp skins here - https://creative.adobe.com/addons but they do not exist. Seems odd that adobe would put so much money and effort into creating Robohelp 2015 yet not supply a nice gallery of skin options. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have a user guide which was created before I became the technical writer. I started using RoboHelp 7 and I am not sure if this guide was created in an earlier version of RoboHelp. I was upgraded to RoboHelp 9 then to version 11. The file contains 3237 files, 480 folders and the size is 64.5 MB. I had someone backing me up when I was out of the office. She used different font on some topics than what was used in the rest of the guide. (Arial was used in the guide, she used Calibri.) I am now updating the guide and I cannot change the font. When my cursor is sitting on text within a topic the heading and font fields keeps flashing. Header flashes from Normal to Heading 1 and Font  flashes Times New Roman and Arial. When I click the drop-down for font, I am unable to select anything because the drop-down keeps scrolling, If I try to scroll up, the drop-down keeps going back to Time New Roman. And it happens so fast I am unable to click on a selection. I tried selecting the font wit

Trying to move from WebHelp to Multiscreen HTML5. We created live test site to test/experiment with. We're still not clear on how to properly link from our software system to a Help page. Here's a little background:With webhelp, linking is simple. But it doesn't seem to work the same with HTML5 - or should it? Every link has "desktop" added to it (and yep, desktop is the default.) But if I'm browsing on my iphone with Chrome or Safari, it also defaults to desktop. Should it change to "phone?"We link from our software system directly to Help pages. For example, if you're looking at our oranges page, we link to oranges in Help (but a whole lot more complicated than oranges!) Therefore, we need to update virtually our entire system with links to Help - and those links have to be right. Other than this, we like the HTML site. Once we solve linking, we'll be ready to release to our customer base.Thanks!Julie

Have a WebHelp project in RH 11 and would like to add a Feedback button to the toolbar.  The information I've found here provides information on buttons that send emails with a link to a specific topic. I don't need the link to a topic - only want a button that will open a blank email with pre-populated To: and CC: addresses...no link to a topic. As always, any help would be appreciated.Diane

Hello,I'm trying to find the Unused Files report in RoboHelp 2015 (12.0.1.338). The help advises to select Tools > Project Status > Unused Files. It seems the only report I can view is Project Status. All the reports available in previous versions of RoboHelp seem to have disappeared.Can anyone advise as to whether the reports are available in RH2015?Thanks you,Tim

I am experimenting with RoboHelp 2015 trial version. I imported the framemaker files and in the Project settings tab I was able to select para and char settings via the + sign in 'Edit Conversions settings' in the Project Settings tab, but now after generating the plus signs are not there and I have no option to edit, please advise.

I have added a hyperlink which is a .mp4 video file but it won't run when I generate the document.

Is there a way to convert a Word document to PDF, without having to save the PDF? I would like to just open it in Acrobat so that I can either email or save it directly into our document management program.

My computer was reimaged and I need to download and reinstall Robohelp 11. I do not want to upgrade at this point. Where can I find the appropriate download for RoboHelp 11?Thank you.

Just installed Robohelp 2016; it worked for one day, but now I am receiving this Error Message. Uninstalled and reinstalled but got same result;  has anyone else seen this??

Is RoboHelp 11 compatible with a 64 bit operating system?

What options are available for Robohelp 2015 (responsive HTML5) analytics/reporting and user feedback? Robohelp Server apparently isn't an option. I have considered Google Analytics, but judging by another post based on Robohelp 7, it wasn't a good option. I don't know if that has changed with Adobe's newest product, however. For user feedback, I have looked at embedding Wufoo feedback forms. They work, but it looks like I would need to create a separate form for each page. That would certainly turn into a major headache. I'm hoping Rh 2015 has these features built-in and I am somehow overlooking them. I doubt that is the case with the amount of research I have been doing, though. Any tips, tricks, and advice is greatly appreciated!

How difficult would it be to upgrade from RoboHelp HTML version 7.03.001 to the latest version (is it v 2015?)? Does the latest version of Robohelp HTML support multi-browsers?

Does Adobe CC have at solution for making HTML5 interactive online magazines? (not a FLASH solution from indesign)

Short version: Breadcrumbs in CHM files do not display the styles I've configured in RH.Long version:Am running RH11.Working in an HTML project, generating a CHM for output.I have a Master Page for the project, in which I have generated a breadcrumb placeholder. I removed the formatting code from the placeholder, so what I have left looks like this:<?rh-placeholder type="breadcrumbs" ph-align="0" sep-char=">" home="Home" usetopicformat="0" ph-style="" ?>This Master Page refers to the default CSS file: <link rel="StyleSheet" href="default.css" type="text/css" />Each topic uses this Master Page.Via the Project Manager, I double-click the default.css file in order to modify the appearance of the breadcrumbs. I make changes via these settings:Upon saving this, RH places the following code into the default.css file. *Note (below) that it fails to specify the font I've selected - odd.a.breadcrumbs:link {  font-size: 8pt;  color: #808080;}a.breadcrumbs:visited {&n

Hi there,I am trying to insert a snippet (I have tried adding new ones and using existing ones) into a topic.The snippet displays in the editing pane and also in the pdf for review output and in the preview topic pane. However when I open the html file directly from windows explorer, the snippet doesn't display. One of my outputs uses these html files and I am keen to make the most of the snippet functionality.Any Tips?Thanks,Caroline

I am using RoboHelp 11.0.4.291 to generate Responsive HTML5 help for web applications.The web designers in my company have reported the following security vulnerabilities. Is there a fix?1/ Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability via DOM Redirection========================================================= File: loadcsh.jsFunction: redirectToTopicLine Number: 117 (target.contentWindow.location.replace(gTopicURL);)The mechanism RoboHelp is using to display the (context sensitive) help file is not secure because the passed in URL is not being sanitised, therefore it's trivial for an attacker to trick the user into executing code by clicking on a link e.g.http://PATH_TO_ROBOHELP_DEFAULT_FILE.htm#t=javascript:alert(0)The above URL will cause a pop-up in Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Opera (Safari is untested). This is a definite issue that needs fixing by Adobe as illustrated by the following URL which prompts the user for their credentials and sends the details to the attacker: http://

In RH 2015, how can I add custom ActiveX DLL's to the list of available ActiveX controls so that the custom DLL or OCX is listed on Insert ... HTML ... JavaScript ... ActiveX Controls dialog?   Where does RH get this list?

Hello, This is the same question asked here for Theme_1 Standard: the answer was For that layout:Desktop: div.wTOCTreeMobil: div.wTOCNodefrom William van WeeldenI don't see the same properties in either of these places:Does anyone know what the right properties to change to make the TOC font smaller for the Charcoal_Grey Layout? I'm afraid that if I start to mess around with it I will do something irreparable. On that note, if I want to copy the entire project so that I do have a test environment, is there a SAVE AS type functionality, I only see RENAME (apologies for the two-fer-one question).Thanks,Anne
