Share multimedia videos between different projects without including copies of videos in each projectBasically each language translation is a different project but the vidoes to be included are same. Each generated project has copies of these videos. Is there a way to refer to these videos froma  common location but not include copies in each project. Hyperlinks won't work as we need to show thumbnails in the files.

How do you make multiple pivot points on a symbol using the bone tool? I would like make this 4-bar linkage hinge at all the pin joints, including the lower-left one (so it forms a closed loop that can collapse like a parallelogram). In the image below, it only pivots along the bone, and it won't let me link up the join in the bottom-left.http://s1198.photobucket.com/user/Techn01d/media/FlashBoneTool1.jpg.html

I have RH9. I inherited a project. The skin for one module (Radiant) does not match the skins for other modules in the project (Example Hospital Help). I tried to edit the skin, but it made no difference. I then copied the !SkinSubFolder! from Hospital to Radiant. It made no difference.I don't know what to do next to get them to match. Any help is greatly appreciated.Vicki

I have a text document using UNIX style line breaks that I run through a parser to create multiple help topics.These topics display normally (see attached image) when called directly, rather than through WebHelp and when selected from the Contents or Index tabs.  However ,when selected through the search tabs, the LF character seems to be ignored.  Has anyone else seen this?  This feels like a bug.

Until recently, when I wanted to add a topic to a book in the Table of Contents, I just dragged it from the Project Manager into the Table of Contents.  I'm not sure what is different now, but the new topics appear in the Table of Contents pod but not in the generated DHTML.  To make it more confusing, to me anyway, some newly added topics DO show.

Good afternoon----Does RoboHelp have the capability of building out a Knowledge base where users can rate an HTML topic and then also enter their user comments and submit?Thx again,Susan

I am using RH 10 to generate Eclipse help. After reviewing the discussions re: RH 8 and downloading the .jsx file, I continue to have gobbledygook/wingding display issues. Can anyone help?ThanksSusan

Hi,In Robohelp 9 for word, we are not able to compile the html files from .hpj file if the size exceeds 10 KBs. This is while migrating a winhelp project to .hpj file. Could you please let me know the settings for compiling the html files from an .hpj file.Regards,Akshatha

Okay, I am moving this post to the correct forum.I originally posted:I recently inserted a large image (1979X1045 pixels) into my project. Aspect ratio is maintained.When generating the project, rather than have a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the page, the image's height and width is scaled so that it can be viewed entirely on the screen,Any idea how I can get robohelp to maintain the image's original size?Recently we moved from webhelp to multi-screen HTML5 help. Just out of curiousity, I inserted the image into the old webhelp and generated the project. The image came out fine, and the height and width were maintained.Any idea, which setting in my project is responsible for this? I am using the desktop knowledge with homepage layout.I am attaching a screenshot. Don't know how helpful it is, but the large white area to the left is the TOC pane.Yehoshua Paul@1356178 van weelden responded:In the optimization settings for the screen profile, there is a setting to convert absolu

I am trying to make separate HTML files from FrameMaker 9 documents in RoboHelp 10. In Conversion Settings I have set Split Topics Using Marker to make HTML files using H1. It does not work and creates a file per FrameMaker chapter.I am new to Robohelp 10. Is there a setting I am missing?

In Robohelp10 is there a way to suppress information or a section from a topic?  Or is the option to only suppress the entire topic?  Even though the topic or section is not searchable, can anyone find it?  Another question - could we suppress either a section of a topic or the entire topic by business role or is it an all or nothing type feature?

Output file is SSL and there are no broken links, however when putting it on the web all the hyperlinks are broken.  It's working fine in Firefox! Please help!!  Very new/beginner user here.

How can I insert a link to a YouTube video in a RoboHelp CHM topic or in a WebHelp topic. On YouTube, I can select Share \ Embedded and get this HTML: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/hz1egoBSukE?list=PLAAC40DA8171E6038"  frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> But when I generate the project, I get the msg, This program cannot display the webpage.

We are looking at changing our help system and while we like teh sound of Robohelp I can't find any documentation on how to integrate with Progress OpenEdge ABL. If anyone has any infomation it would be a great helpThanksKev

Is it possible to generate output in RoboHelp 9 for just a single selected WebHelp topic instead of the entire project?This is for a project with hundreds of topics, where occasionally I might make a change to only one of them and need to deploy just that one page of output. But I can only generate output for the entire project. The only options I seem to have are:1. Output everything, and ignore or discard everything apart from the one htm page I want2. As well as editing the source of the topic, also edit a copy of the previous output.I'm assuming the answer is "no", having looked quite hard, but I thought it worth asking. Fortunately, it's not something I need to do very often - our agile methodology means I'm usually deploying an entire project very regularly.ThanksNick Shears

I'm using Rh 10,  and am authoring a webhelp project for a web app. I'd like to make it context sensitive at the page level but the solutions I've seen are quite complex. Any ideas?

Hi!I have generated both WebHelp and HTML Help for one of my projects, and I want to keep only the HTML Help.  How do I properly delete the WebHelp files?Thanks so much!

Is there a way to print all the topics in a project's directory listing without using Print Screen half a dozen times, cropping, printing, etc.?

Hi there,We now have > 15 child projects in our merged online help, each containing hundreds of topics. Each child project is a chapter in our WebHelp online help output.If a user opens a couple of topics in each project, the TOC can become difficult to navigate. Is it possible to add a button that enables users to collapse all of the open chapters / expand all of the closed chapters? We are using RoboHelp 10.Thanks a lot,Niamh

When I create RoboHelp HTML output of a project in Chinese, the characters in the index do not display correctly. This happens even when change my PC's locale to China. Everything else seems to display as it should, and the index itself looks fine in RoboHelp. Has anyone else found a solution to this problem, or even encountered it?

Hi,When i generate the multiscreen andriod output, uneccesary blanks space or line is added to paragraph or that word shifts to the next line.However the same appears fines in the robohelp project.Can any one please help me out .Thanks,Nutan

I am having trouble understanding the mapping that RH10 does to display to topic I identify as my default topic. I've studied the source code of index.htm and whnjs.htm to understand how it is supposed to work.When I publish my project, whnjs.htm maps to my default topic but index.htm doesn’t map to whnjs.htm. As a result, my generated project NEVER launches my default topic even though it displays correctly when previewed in the Generate function.When I asked the Adobe support tech to explain how this was suppsoed to work, he said that "someone smarter than me" would understand how.Unfortunately, I am the smartest guy I have access to, so I'd like to escalate this issue to someone who 1) understands how it works and 2) is willing to pass the knowledge along to me.Thank you!

Hi,    I have used Robohelp 8 to create help file. The webhelp output can be perfectly seen in IE 7 OR 8. However, in IE 10,  when the start page in the webhelp folder is cliked, the TOC is opening but the topics are not getting displayed in the right pane. When we click a topic from the TOC pane, no topic gets displayed. Please suggest a solution ASAP, as we have sent the help to a client. They are are facing an issue with the help. We have to fast fix this problem to avoid an escalation. Please respond with a fix to this problem. Please note we have used Robohelp 8 and viewing the webhelp output in IE 10.

Using IE 10, the helpfiles I made in RoboHelp 8 are not correctly displayed. When you click on a topic in the index at the left in the screen, an empty page appears.However, the context-sensitive help does work as normal:  when you click on the help-icon on a page, the helptekst is shown correctly.I found a fix on the forum (by Willam van Weelden) for RoboHelp 9. This fix didn't work for RoboHelp8.Anyone knows a solution for RoboHelp8?Greetings,Gerdi
