RoboHelp

I don't wish to use the ones already present in the gallery. They do not meet my requirements. Therefore, I want to create/design my own screen layout for the responsive HTML5 output. Please let me know the steps to do so. How to create a SLZ file, what is the code that I need to write. What are the components that I need to create to have a complete screen layout to be used in a responsive HTML5 output.

I´m testing Robohelp 10 with SharePoint 365.I configure the Robohelp and SharePoint as the page: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/RoboHelp/10.0/RoboHTML/WS1b49059a33f77726-5aab66613798e5ec9b-8000.htmlOn step 3, when I click on "File/Version Control/Add Version Control" and inform "SharePoint Site", user name and password, Robohelp display a message: "Error: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."Anybody knows something about this error?Thanks very much.Luiza.

Hi there,What would cause a project to open in Internet Explorer but not in Google Chrome? Using RoboHelp 9. Thanks,Tom

I created a merged project.I created a master/parent project.I added the children rreferences in the parent TOC using the new merged button. I published the parent project.I published all the children (in the parent merged project folder). I generated the parent project again for webhelp, then click view results. The parent project displays with the TOC  (children),  BUT as soon as I click Allow Blocked content, the TOC disappears (first topic is blank).  I have created all projects files locally. The children (when viewed independency) work fine.I have deleted and started over 3 times with the same issue. I contacted Adobe Support, but they could not help.Any idea o what might be the issue or how to resolve this problem.Thanks!Kim

We are considering moving to RH9 Server and RH HTML 11. We wonder whether any of you would like to share your particular experiences with (1) use of RH Server 9 and (2) with use of RH Server 9 with RH HTML 11.Please note that I've read through the 26 or so discussions about RH9 Server, but the web site only displays the same list of discussions when I click the button to display "all".Thanks very much.Carol

HiI am using RH10, as part of the TCS4.I am currently creating/ customizing screen layouts Android phone, Android Tablet, and Desktop for use in our team.Generally, our course titles are a bit long. Obviously, this won't look good in phone and tablet layouts. As a workaround, we are thinking of having different course titles for each layout  (basically, a shorter version). Please suggest the best and easiest way to do that? As far as possible, I am looking for some solution where my users should change the name in one place, say a variable, and it is reflected in all pages of a particular layout. For example, I will give them a variable Phone_Course Title. They need to enter the value there and it is updated in all pages of the Android Phone layout. But I don't see a way to do it using User Defined Variables or Fields. Since many of our users are new to RH, I don't want them to fiddle around too many things here. Of course, that would also mean less issues to tackle for me.If this

RH11 - WebhelpI'm generating mixed font case webhelp and these are the results ProjectName.htm (same with all other project files)projectname_1.htmThis old help file (with remote developers and their calling code files) is needed now - we don't have time to rename and test files. The _1 file is being used and should retain the case. Why is the _1 upper case not being duplicated? Thank you

Can RoboHelp 10 be loaded on Windows 8?

Does Adobe have a solution that allows me to download adobe Air files as PDF files [ that I can open ] on my iMac running Mavericks?

I'm using Chrome version Version 31.0.1650.63 to view a site created with Robohelp Webhelp 9. The topics associated with books do not display in the browser. I get a "file or directory cannot be found" message when I click a book. These topics can be displayed by clicking links that reference these topics. Topics beneath table of contents books also display in Chrome. I have the same problem with Firefox, but not IE. How can I make book topics appear in Webhelp when viewed with Firefox and Chrome?

Hi-I have v9 of RoboHelp. I installed version 11 to try it out and now neither version will open. Any suggestions?Help...!

This topic may not linked to RoboHelp but definately worth following. I'd appreciate the community to assist me. Makers have closed the software and the website. But still an excellent help generator.Has anybody used HelpMaker for generating HTML Website (WebHelp). I try to generate the output but options like search, index are missing. Tried checking in settings, no result. Working fine in CHM (HTML-Help). They term chm and web help as HTML Help and HTML Website.Also when I go to Windows Main settings (an option) do not see anything there.

Hello,I'm using RoboHelp 8 for Windows 7. Even though I have the langauge setting to "English (US)," it's constantly calling words as spelled wrong, even when they're not. Like "hassle" and "mailing" and "encrypted" and "online."Is there some way to reset the dictionary or update it (whithout adding every "misspelled" word to the user dictionay)?Thanks!Liam

HiWe use Robohelp 11 to create help pages.Often we notice that when we make changes and republish a page, the changes take a while to be visible in Firefox and Chrome, but tend to be immediately visible in Internet Explorer.On this occasion we changed a page around two months ago (updated links for new embedded YouTube videos). I can see the new videos in Chrome and IE, but still see the old videos in Firefox 31.0, despite having cleared my cache.Worried that users won't see updates.Anyone experienced similar?thanksV

Hi all, we used to display the TOC of the master project when any of the merged sub-CHMs are opened. For this, in the merged projects it was necessary to point the advanced properties of the window to the hhc of the master, e.g.: master.chm::/master.hhc (see also this topic: Context-Sensitive Help and Merged Projects)It seems that this does not work any more, no TOC is displayed at all now using this method. Has anybody used this method under Win7 64bit?Robert

I've installed Java 8u11 to solve a problem with inability to display TOC i JavaHelp output when using Java 1.1.3 option. But Robo 10 can't find the Java SDK files, even though they are present. I guess I'm doing something dumb here - but I don't understand anything to do with Java (I just need it for Robo output), so don't know what to do next.

My company uses Mercurial as a version control system.  I want to set up the version control for the documentation so that multiple users can access the project at the same time.  Is it possible to use Mercurial as the version control system that is integrated into RoboHelp? 

I work on Java application that utilitzes the .chm and .jar file (which include the .htm files) to display our applications help documentation. We recently upgraded from RoboHelp 8 to RoboHelp 10. The .htm files that were generated with RoboHelp 8 display fine. However, the new .htm files generated by RoboHelp 10 seem to ignore the CSS stylesheets used. I compared one of the .htm files from RoboHelp 8 to the same .htm file in RoboHelp10. I did notice differences within the files. Can you tell me what the differences are, regarding the usage of CSS stylesheets, between RoboHelp 8 & RoboHelp 10?Thank you.

I just purchased a subscription to Technical Communication Suite 5. I downloaded and installed the package and when attempting to open one of the applications (specifically, RoboHelp), I find I am unable to license the software. For some reason it is unable to detect my Internet connection. Any ideas for a resolution? Thank you.

I was wondering which means of source control has proved the easiest to set up and live with for working concurrently on a RoboHelp project. Ideally, we would like to use Subversion, but would also consider Sharepoint, or other recommended solutions. Any experience you could share would be much appreciated.

Hi All,When I generate Printed Documentation from RoboHelp 11 to Microsoft Word 10, I am now seeing MERGEFORMAT tags in every Heading 1 in my document when I have paragraph marks turned on. This issue started today and is 100% reproducible in all of my tests this morning. Prior to today, this was not an issue. I always work with paragraph marks on, so while turning the marks off hides the MERGEFORMAT tags, it is really not acceptable. I have attached an image showing what the H1s look like now with paragraph marks turned on. Any help in the way of resolving this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Matt

Hi. I've just been reading Mr Grainge's fine directions on how to generate merged help, using his sample files in the process. I'd appreciate some comments on the following observations and questions.It appears that before one generates merged help, the user should ensure that all child projects have been individually generated first so that all recent changes to those projects' content are present in the generated merged help. In short, it appears that generating the parent project doesn't automatically pre-generate the child projects,  Is this correct?I also experimented with putting text in one of the child topics, and applying conditional build tags to them. I found that the conditional text that appears in the merged, in the text from a particular child project, is whatever conditional text was exposed when the child project was last run. It also seems that the conditional build tags specified in the parent project (via the single source config) has no affect on the text expo

My company requires licenses for all third party code. Does the toolbarscripts01.js need a license to use in help that is created for clients to access via the web?

RH 11: Multiscreen desktop layoutI am generating desktop layout (only) in my Multiscreen SSL. Our users are only going to view our help from a PC and we’ve got auto-collapsing TOC books that are driving everyone mad. Can anyone please help?Here is the behavior we’re seeing:Open books and sub books (result: books are open).Click a topic in a sub-book (result: books stay open).Open a new book and sub-book (result: new books and old books are open)Click a topic in the new sub-book (result: old books close). Gah!At step 4, we want all the books to say open.I am using a desktop layout based on the default “Desktop_Layout” shipped with RH that I have adjusted slightly for colour and branding.This uses the TOC widget with a class="wTOCTree" and widgettype="toctree".Reading WvanWeelden’s site (http://www.wvanweelden.eu/blog/2012/12/20/starting-html5-layouts-robohelp-getting-know-widgets), he explains the behavior of the two TOC widget types:TOC tree - Default table of contents that presents a
