RH2026 frameless output. migrating from chm, multiple projects (+/-90) with external links to chm's

hello, i have challenge, nearly completed.I migrated a merged CHM project to merged frameless (with insistance of Peter :-))Everything is OK. happybutis true there is no tool in Robohelp to replace an external link to a chm to a project/contents/pagename.htm?I had to work around using a powershell script. and our IT guy’s didn’t trust my intensions. a lot of safety barriers (signed is not possible). But I managed with a work around.so all htm files containing an external reference to a chm file have been modified. replacingnameProject.chm://topicname.htmreplaced byRhpj:nameproject/contents/topicname.htmAnd here is my question. those htm’s are all modified externally.I opened up my subprojects and compiled to frameless output. I get a warning list on all modified htm files: warning : Skipped copying external file "C:/RH/613/nl/output/mergedProjects/Gebruikerstabellen/Gebruikerstabellen.htm"it’s warning. But the page acts right, and send the user to the neighbourg sub project (instead o

Topics titles are missing in PDF output

Hi everybody, I am creating a new webhelp with Robohelp 2022.6.34 for an online database but i am using PDF output too during trainings. I created some topics, generating web ouput and everything fine (until now) but when i tried PDF output, i realize every topic name do not appear.In the topic layout (“disposition de rubrique” in french screenshot), title is displayed thanks to a field :<body> <div data-region="header"> <h1><span data-field="title">rubrique</span></h1> </div>That’s the green title in left part of the screenshot. In the frameless output, the title appears (“Description de l’état” in black in the middle of screenshot) But in the PDF output, the title is missing (where is the red arrow), in the topic and in the TOC too. I tried many settings and searched the Internet but found nothing to help. Do any of you have an idea? Thank you.

having problems with RH2022 review process using Sharepoint

Our goal is to generate a project that we can send (or at least portions) to Sharepoint so our development team can review. However, when I begin the Review process (Share a project with specific topics selected for review and send it to a team member), the notice that appears in my e-mail has a Practice Review and a View Comments button. When I click either of thesek, I get a screen with this message: any ideas?

Importing Output Preset in Adobe Robohelp

Hello,We have recently upgraded from Adobe RH 2019 classic version to RH 2022 version a nd need some help on creating output preset for Responsive HTML5 outputs. We are having multiple RH projects that we work on, we have customizwd the output profile for a single project, but since we have multiple RH projects and translation projects, we have to individually customize presets in each project. Is there a way to import that customized preset to different projects so that it just saves time and the output remains same throughout. Any updates will be helpful on this issue. Thanks.

Robohelp toc

I have created a Robohelp preset output using Azure Blue screen and we have been testing this output on our device 7-8 inch screen.. The width of the TOC column appears correct when we view on web screen the size increases when we view iton the device. It occupies around 3/4th of the screen. Is there a way by which we can adjust the width of the TOC to make it responsive for the device. I'm not willing to convert and use the frameless skin as it will involve customizing the entire preset. #robohelp2022, #toc

The Table of Contents in the CHM file is garbled.

When generating Simplified Chinese and Korean CHM files in RoboHelp (RH) 2022, character encoding issues (garbled text) occur. Specifically, the Table of Contents (TOC) is corrupted, with some characters being replaced by question marks ("?").I have verified the language settings, but no issues were found. I contacted Adobe Support, and they responded that "generating files that depend on the OS language is a specification of the current version."However, CHM files generated with RH 2019 [Moderator edit - Classic] did not depend on the OS language settings. Is there a way in RH 2022 to generate CHM files that are independent of the OS language?

File Path Too Long - error on folders that no longer exist

Hi all,I just took over a nighmare RH project using RH2020.  I have not used RH in a long time, and I'm stumped. This project has 5-6 nested levels in some places... so the paths can be very long.  We are getting errors when trying to extract the source files.  I ended up having to download the project to my C: root.  This path length issue apparently prevents all of the output from compiling (as per previous writer).   I decided the best place to start was just to go thru the project and shorten the folder and file names.  I did this from within RH, NOT via Explorer.  However, when I try to then copy the revised project up to my Documents>My RoboHelp Projects folder, I'm getting the same errors for path length - on folders that I have definitely renamed (from within RH itself).  These folders show up when I search in Explorer, but no where to be found if I search in RH (please see attached image).  I suppose I could d

TOC and breadcrumbs disappearing upon publishing using RH's Frameless Studio Template

I have a parent project and several child projects. I generate output using the merged projects feature. Upon publishing the output, the TOC is visible in the left pane only for 2 of the child projects. When I access a topic from subsequent child projects, the TOC and the breadcrumbs disappear. I have customized the Studio template using RH’s UI to change the color settings, some font settings, etc. This issue didn’t occur until 2 weeks ago. I have tried using an unedited Studio frameless template and regenerating the merged output from scratch to a clean folder. I use the Topic Layout globally from the output preset in the parent project. I’ve included images for reference - tocBrdCrmbVisible, chld3TopicClk, and tocBrdCrmbDisappear.

Changing Frameless Studio template settings in RH's 2026.01.11 version

Hello, I am requesting help in resolving issues with output published using RH’s Frameless Studio template.I updated to RH's 2026.01.11 version to publish content using the Frameless Studio template. The Search bar now overlaps the Header title. How can I change the template settings so it doesn't overlap? In the earlier version, the search bar appeared only when the search icon was clicked, and the title would temporarily disappear. I want to replicate this behavior. I’ve attached ‘before’ and ‘after’ update images for reference. I have a parent project and several child projects. I generate output using the merged projects feature. Upon publishing the output, the TOC is visible in the left pane only for 2 of the child projects. When I access a topic from subsequent child projects, the TOC and the breadcrumbs disappear.

Problem With Framless' "In This Topic" Section on ONE Topic

Hello, Normally, the "In This Topic" section of the Frameless output has links to the H1, H2, H3, and H4 styles, and links to them as such, without using bookmarks. See an example of the filepath/webpage URL that pops up for a normal topic when clicked in the "In This Topic" section.   Now, see below an example of the page that is failing. I believe it is throwing Error 403 Forbiddens to our customers because it is using bookmarks (and incomplete ones, at that) to try and call the section of the page.  How do I fix this?
