I'm on a trial version of RH2022 and I've deleted and added new TOCs a couple of times. Now it won't compile (Frameless or any output). The message indicates I need a 'valid TOC'. The new TOC looks ok, or the same setup as the earlier ones. Am I only allowed a certain number of TOC attempts in a trial version?Thank you!JoAnn
When users use Search in my frameless help site, I want their seach to include the full text of the Word docs and PDFs I've uploaded to the assets/docs folder. But it doesn't appear to be happening. Help?I'm using RH 2022.0.346, and everything is working fine, mostly. In my preset for Frameless, all the filetypes are unchecked under Search > Select file types to exclude from search.I've created a Word doc that includes the word "fecundity" in the text, and I've put that file in assets/docs.When I generate the site and then publish it, I search for the word "fecundity," but the Word doc doesn't show up in the search results.What am I doing wrong?

When I share a topic for review in RH2020, the review document it creates has no CSS formatting, and all the image links are broken. Any ideas for resolving this? I'm a noob here.
I'm having an issue where all my topics in my TOC become not alphabetized like they are in my "Contents" folder. When I select "Auto-Create TOC", all my topics that were alphabetized in the Contents folder become randomized in my Table of Contents tab. Thoughts on how to get my TOCs to remain alphabetized when I "Auto Create" the TOCs?
Good morning. Is it possible to move the Header links and buttons to the left, next to the logo, instead of aligning to the right of the screen? I have played with many of the settings but can't seem to get it right.?
Hi all,I am using RoboHelp Version 2020.8.34 and I use Responsive HTML format as output.My question is can we set the shortcut keys (number 1) to collapsed as default (number 2) ? Current condition: when user open page shortcut keys automatically shows, and user has to click "hide" ( number 3) to collaps. Is there anyway I can do it the other way?
Hi all, I need your help on why is my font color always changing, especially for hyperlink.This happens everytime I open the project afer the last save.For hyperlink, I used below font color" Wheh I reopen my last save project, it then changed into below color (number 1): I have tried to re-apply the styles, the font color will go back to the right one, but then it happen again if I save and reopen my projects. There's also a case when the same style of hyperlink produces different colors (number 2) and number (3).NB: this color issue happens on author mode as well as the generated output. I also have tried to check the stylesheet, this won't fix. Thank you in advance.Have a nice day.

Hi!I need to have my Madcap Doc-to-help project (in NETHELP format) entirely functional in Robohelp, but I did not find a way to import the entirely project. I have more than 4000 pages, with hyperlinks, glossary terms and context ids.I can´t simply import the doc files, because I will loose all this resources. Anyone?
Hi! I've been using Robohelp 2020.8.34 version. When I try to generate to Microsoft Html Help, the font size is different from the edited mode. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
(RH2022)This is about PDF output. I have one project that shows the title 'Contents' on top of the TOC page and the title 'Index' on top of the index page. Other project do not show these titles. I have searched for the differences to find where these titles can be added, but I don't find the difference. Can anyone help me please?
Robohelp 2022.0.346 So, I'm using the frameless HTML skin, and I want to add a skin changer to let people use a light/dark skin, as an accessibility function (tbh, I'm suprised this isn't already a feature of the skin...). However, it seems impossible? It should simply be a case of setting some CSS variables then switching them using some basic JavaScript, however with RoboHelp it seems nothing is ever "simple". So far I've tried switching the default CSS file and dynamically adding/removing CSS elements, but neither work. The second method I've ALMOST got working, but because RoboHelp generates the LayoutDiff and userstyles CSS files dynamically - and the process is pretty much a black box - I can only ever get it to work on the main topic body container, and not the whole style. To elaborate: I have added a :root class to the layouts.css file which defines all the CSS variables, then when someone switches skin, I'm using the following JavaScript to dynamically swap the
We're using RoboHelp 2020.8.34, and we have thumbnails for several images. The thumbnails look and open correctly, but they won't close; clicking on the X does nothing. It happens when viewing the output locally and on the server and in Edge and Chrome. Anyone else having this issue?
Hi,This is a really strange one... Currently, I am experiencing the inability to close a thumbnail image in my responsive output. I say strange, because previously this wasn't an issue.Effectively, I have generated the output, viewed the output in Chrome, clicked a thumbnail image to enlarge, clicked the close / exit icon on the full image, and now nothing happens (the full size image is frozen, whereas previously it would close).I am using RoboHelp 2020 (version 2020.8.34).Has anyone else had this issue?
Hi everyone,I'm working on 2022.0.346. I have a css file for my HTML output (file.css) which I am importing into my css for PDF output using @1552174 url("file.css"); Afterwards, I want to change some minor things. For example, in my file.css, Heading 2 is defined with a gray background and font-size 18. For my PDF output, I do not want a background color and a different size. So, after my import syntax, I set the background color to transparent and the size to 13:h2 { font-size: 13pt; background-color: transparent; }I thought CSS would use the last definition, ergo I expected size 13 and transparent background as this is set after the import syntax. However, my heading remained size 18 and still has a gray background. If I add "!important" to my attributes, e.g. background-color: transparent !important;it is working as intended. However, I don't want to add this to every single attribute in order to get it working, if I can avoid it. Am I making a mistake
@Amebr - Thank you! Unfortunately, if I added the bookmark at the end of the heading and want my map ID assign to that bookmark, it doesn't work; it goes to that part of the mini TOC. Any thoughts is greatly appreciated.

I'm using 2022.0.346, publishing as responsive html5 with azure blue skin. In a topic, I have a mini TOC, and a few headings. I created a bookmark at the end of a particular heading. The issue is - if I use that bookmark, added to a Map File, and gave it a map ID (ex: www.domain.com/abc/index.htm?rhmapno=123), it doesn't go to the location of the heading, but it goes to the mini TOC instead. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Request for Information:I'm seeking Adobe documentation, instructions, videos, tutorials, or any type of information that explains the process for completing CSH setup for a help file using Responsive HTML5 output and/or a help file being converted from Webhelp to Responsive HTML5 output. If this information exists and links can be provided, fantastic, please reply to this post with those links. If nothing like that exists, what steps must be taken to get an existing RoboHelp customer the necessary information to provide to a developer? If this requires a consultation or contracted work from the Adobe RoboHelp team to implement, please explain.Background:We currently use RoboHelp 2019 Classic to create and successfully generate a content-sensitive help file using Webhelp output (e.g., all MapIDs are configured so that pressing [F1] opens the help file to the article/topic for the corresponding screen). Please note: my company has been using RoboHelp for more than a decade, and we recen
Need to use PDF published output to upload to Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing for a new eBook. Index built, pointing to topics. Published to PDF, index displays page number locations, not topic locations. If you click on the page number in the index, it goes to the first page of a topic, even when the index word is on the second page of the same topic (different than the page number location in the PDF index, so actual word location is on second page of same topic). I suspect that I may be doing something wrong, and need to fix this, if possible, so that the Kindle eBook that will be created will not show the wrong page number location for indexed words in topics that occupy more than one page in the published PDF. Any help appreciated.
Hello,What is the correct way to link a topic from one child project to a different child project? I tried to link a Topic from Child2 to Child1 by selecting the text in Child1 and clicking Hyperlink > Local Files > MyRobohelpProjects > Child2 > topic. When I generate the Responsive HTML merged output from the Parent, I get a 'page may have been moved or deleted' message after I click the Hyperlink in Child1. Right-clicking the contents pane and choosing Link > Link File linked the topic but none of the images appeared in the merged output.
The RoboHelp user guide mentions registering an external diff/merge application - doesn't RoboHelp include one?If you're using GitHub to manage version control, which is the best application for comparing the current version of a file with a proposed replacement?
I use RoboHelp 2020, and I am doing output in two ways in one project. The two outputs differ in some toc configurations. Therefore, I would like to be able to search only those registered in toc. Is there a way?
I use RoboHelp 2020.8.34. When I tried to compile a project to CHM, the content shows garbaged in non-Chinese sytem. See below image for reference.If we right click in the page and select View Source, we can see the charset is set CP936. If we decompile the CHM and change CP936 to GB2312, and re-compile it with HTML Help Workshop. The CHM can display in both Chinese and non-Chinese system. The same issues happens for Korean, and Tradition Chinese(Taiwan) and also in RoboHelp 2020 other versions. Will there be any fix on this?
