We use PDFs to "mark up" Help topics during our review process. We keep the PDFs for our review records.In RoboHelp 2020.8.34, the "Restart Numbering at" Content Property is ignored in the PDF output. Numbered instructions across multiple topics appear as one continuous ordered list. This was supposedly fixed in RoboHelp Update 8 (Bug ID: 10509). However, restart numbering does work in the Word output but that has other issues. I would rather go straight to PDF.Any help is appreciated.
Hello everyone, I have a question.A topic has an image with a size, but I want to get it by pdf with a size and by html5 with another size, is it possible?Currently this image is inside a div class, would it be possible from the css to use an IF function that is to say if I take out the topic by pdf has a size and by html another? I would not like to have to duplicate outputs.Thanks
I am trying to edit a framless template (BlueLagoon). I want to remove the "How can we help?" caption from the frameless template. (Note the other frameless templates have this same line.) I don't know where it is located to delete it. I can find "caption-bar" and "caption" on the Top Section of the "Home Page," but it does not have an area to change the text. Your help is appreciated.

I published a project recently and the search functionality is not longer working. I just get the windows icon just keeps moving.
Hi there, we already updated on all seats and all worked fine at first. But now, after the last member in a common project started working on files we're experiencing a weird phenomenon: all preset files seem to be corrupt and are not showing in the Output panel even though the files are still there in the local project folders. And we can't create a new preset either!Looking at the XML data everything seems to be fine. What could have gone wrong here before committing and pushing the first change made in a preset file with the RH 2022 Upd 2 to our Git repository?
I'm trying to insert thumbnails into a RoboHelp project and not having much luck.I inserted a graphic into a project page and clicked on the image. I selected Use Thumbnail in Content Properties and set the dimensions to Height 94 and width 150. The preview shows no different than in Author mode. I selected Show Thumbnail for Images in the Output tab and Create Thumbnails for Images.When I generate the output, it looks like this: When I click on the thumbnail, the image looks nothing like the original (the original is dark-themed): Any ideas? My goal is a thumbnail that looks like the original but smaller and, when clicked on, expands to a larger size.
Robohelp 2019 Classic has started crashing on launch. It worked a couple of months ago, but now it briefly shows the Recent Projects panel and then crashes. It also crashes if I pick a project from the start menu.Any thoughts on what I can do? Thanks!
Good morning,Is there a way to increase the font size in the skin for the TOC and Index? I've selected the font that's needed for the skin, but there doesn't seem to be a way to increase the size of it in the TOC and Index.
We recently upgraded from Robohelp 2020 to 2022.0.346. This broke our previous outputs presets, so that was a bummer, but the new options seemed like enough of an upgrade to deal with rewriting the template for the new style. I'm having several issues, the largest 2 being the following: No layout applied to Front Matter page, making it the wrong sizeI have a topic with a proprietary warning in it that is the 2nd page of my PDF and is meant to print on the back of the cover when doing dual side printing. I'm in the US, so I print things letter size. I have ensured that every page out in my template has the same size settings, but the proprietary warning page always come out at A4 size in the PDF. I assume this is happening because it is a Front Matter page, but not one of the formally designated special ones and perhaps the Common layout isn't pointing at it correctly. I added text identifying all my page layouts and ran an output and that page doesn't appear to use any of the
Does anyone have experience with SharePoint online publishing issues with Netskope security enabled? We've identified the issue which requires some support from Adobe. We have an open ticket, but Adobe support has become non-responsive despite being very helpful early on. Any guidance would be incredibly helpful. @adobe support, we would love your continued help here. Thank you very much.
I am trying to build a chatbot output preset after generating the JSON for the DialogFlow, but I am getting this error in the log:'7 PERMISSION_DENIED: IAM permission 'dialogflow.intents.create' on 'projects/xxxx' denied.Does anyone know how to add IAM permissions to allow my user to create intents?
Hi - I have what may appear to be an odd request. I'm using RH2017 and I was wondering if there's a way to modify the href attribute in anchor tags without using javascript. The reason I'm asking is that we're using the ZoomIn Product Documentation Center to host our documentation. I created a test project to see if I can dynamically build the href attribute with the associated product name and version number using javascript. I found out that when ZoomIn processes the uploaded bundle (zip) of the documentation project, it strips out any existing javascript for whatever reason. I then tried to use a RH variable for the project name and version but that doesn't work either. Does anyone know if there are any work-arounds in RH that I could try? We have both a development site and a Production site on the ZoomIn portal. A typical url for the Production site looks like this: https://help.hexagonmi.com/bundle/pcdmis-2023.1-laser/page/PC_DMIS_Laser.htm I've hard
Hello, I am using new RoboHelp 2019 and have just created an index. When I build my help file only two topics get displayed. I have tried a few different outputs and still the same. I have checked that my index entries actually link to topics but they still don't display. It's really odd that just two topics display. I've checked their properties but can't see anything unusal about them. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
My colleagues & I need to collaborate on the same Robohelp 2019 project. I created a site specifically for that purpose on SharePoint online, made my co-workers co-owners of the site, and the default doc library on the site inherits permission from the site. I was able to successfully establish a connection profile, upload a demo project and edit it, check it back in and so forth. However, neither of my co-workers are able to establish a connection profile. They get to the screen where you paste in the SharePoint site URL, and when they click Login, they get the message shown below. When they click Back to app, they land on an Adobe login screen. We verified that the apps Adobe recommends whitelisting are whitelisted for all of us. I have a feeling this has to do with the fact that my RH license may be associated to my personal Adobe ID, while theirs might be associated to the company ID. Our IT people are trying to figure out who might be our "Adobe Admin," but we're not eve
Hi I am attempting to implement a chatbot for proof of concept. I am now in a place to generate the JSON after creating a Security Key as described in various Google Cloud Help pages. It mentions 'Service Account Keys could pose a security risk if compromised. We recommend that you avoid downloading Service Account Keys and instead use the Workload Identity Federation...' Has anyone used Security Keys to generate the JSON? And if so, have you experienced security issues?Has anyone used the Workload Identity Federation route, and if so, does it work with RoboHelp? Thank youMichelle
Hello Robohelp-Community, at the moment we are struggling with the usage of other fonts in our published project we created in Robohelp.We have the company standard font "TitilliumWeb". This is the path of the published project:\\srv-cas01\OnlineHelp\TestDE Where do we have to create the font.css (or is it "fonts.css) ?We tried to create this here:\\srv-cas01\OnlineHelp\TestDE\assets\css We also moved the font to this folder in "css". The content of font.css is the following:@11220649-face {font-family: "TitilliumWeb";src: url("TitilliumWeb-Regular.ttf");} When we now open the HTML Page as "WebView" there is still another font used. We don`t see the configuration problem. Is it the code in "font.css" or another problem? Thanks for your kind help in advance! Kind regards,Marc Mendel
Bonjour,Je travaille avec la version 2017 (13.0.0.257) de RoboHelp.Toutes mes rubriques ont un ID et un numéro de mappage.Dans une de mes rubriques "Paramètres" (ID de mappage 2004), j'ai un tableau avec environ 100 paramètres différents avec leurs explications. Exemple :001 Nom de la société002 Adresse de la société003 Taxes...Je souhaiterai utiliser un sous mappage, du style 2004/002 pour indiquer que je souhaite l'aide de la rubrique ayant l'ID 2004 et à l'intérieur de cette rubrique, aller directement à l'information 002 du tableau.Actuellement, lorsque j'appelle l'aide à partir de mon application, j'arrive bien sur ma rubrique des paramètres, mais ensuite je suis obligé d'aller sur le paramètre souhaité en utilisant l'ascenceur. Est-ce qu'il existe une possibilité pour réaliser ma demande ?Merci
Hello all! (robohelp version 2020.8.34) I've been setting up my projects and am now at the point where I'm asked to look into translating our documents. Right now we publish to frameless and I'm wondering what it would look like if I finished the translation of topics. What would it look like published. Is there a button that switches to a picked language or how am I supposed to see this? I've been struggling with setting up machine translations for the provided companies: google, yandex and bing. However none of these API's are currently working for me. Luckily I can add a custom API. We've picked Deepl for this: DeepL API. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do for the custom script path:Is there anyone that could help me with this? I know it's a Javascript file but that's all I know.
hello I am using version 2022.1.188.I am trying to translate with deepl, but I get an error.I have the script written correctly, the api key is correct and the endpoint is correct.I get the following error "Cannot read property '0' of undefined" I don't know what to do.I can't provide photos because I get an error on the adobe website.

I'm sooo confused.Thanks, Lori
Is there a way to import conditional tags, when importing FrameMaker documents to RoboHelp?For example, I have a lot of text in my FrameMaker document that has conditions applied to it. When I import the document, the text is there in RoboHelp, but it does not have any conditions on it, and it is indistinguishable from the regular content. I don't see any way to map FrameMaker conditions to RoboHelp conditions when I do the import.I'm using RoboHelp 2022.2.22, and FrameMaker 2020 (though I could upgrade to 2022 if that will help the situation). If it is not possible to import the conditions, does anyone have any recommendations? Here are my initial thoughts:In FramMaker, find all the conditional text and apply a new/different paragraph style to it.In Robohelp, create a corresponding paragraph style, that looks very different from regular text.When importing from Frame to RoboHelp, map the two styles to each other.In RoboHelp, find all text with the new style, apply the
Hi CommunityI have a requirement to get or crawl data made/stored in robohelp, but all I could find was a search API. Is there any documentation that could help me with this. Are there any direct APIs or a workaround to get data from robohelp into our own servers/webpage.Thanks In Advance.
I just upgraded to RoboHelp 2019 and am having the hardest time setting up and applying styles. I was just trying to figure out how to add spacing between items in a bulleted list. I went out to the Internet and found that I shouild add a line-height atribute to the ul tag. I did this, saved the project, and all of my styles have disappeared. I click the Styles tab and then the dropdown and each group (Paragraph, Character, Lists, etc.) is empty. When I try to add a new style to any group, the application crashes. I get an Application Error and am told to restart from the Help menu. I do this and the Styles are still gone and when I try to add one, it crashes. So frustrating! Does anyone know how I can fix this? Is my project corrupted? Thanks, Michele
