Ist es möglich, sich ein Inhaltsverzeichnis im klassischen Sinn, also Kapitelangabe mit der jeweiligen Seitenzahl, aus einem Online TOC oder Book TOC generieren zu lassen? Das Ergebnis soll ein Output vom TOC mit dem TOC als Seite (klassisches Inhaltsverzeichnis) sein.

Hi! I've got 20 hyperlinks in one html page. All links are to the ONE pdf file.Each link differs from other by "page property".For Example:link 1: myfile.pdf#page=4link 2: myfile.pdf#page=10link 3: myfile.pdf#page=15link x: myfile.pdf#page=x I want to open all links only in one new page (tab). Is it possible?I've tried to use different page destinations (same frame, master page, whole page...) But it opens in new one or in the current page. I want to use only one new page.PS i don't want to use popup frame. It is useless when pdf is about 200 pages. Any suggestions? Best regards,Anatoly

Hello! Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this question and is able to assist. Earlier today, I was working in RH 2017 when the application froze and then crashed. I had a few topics open at that time. When I restarted RH, everything appeared fine. However, I used Visual Studio for version control and the next time I went to check some of my local changes in, I noticed that several of the .FPJ files were updated to remove references to certain topics/.htm files. I did not make these changes, and assumed they were something that happened during the crash, as some (but not all) of the topics that were removed from the .FPJ files we the topics that were open in RH during the crash. (Please note that I only use version control to keep a backup of my files. There is no one else checking in changes that I am pulling down and using, as my team found this paradigm problematic within RH). I rejected the changes and reverted to the previous .FPJ files that still referenced the

hi at all ...is there a way to insert a text box with the scroll bar or another object that contains text and / or images always with the scroll bar option?I have tried with these options but no one give me the option to have the scroll bar at the bottom...

Have Adobe RoboHelp 2017, in the manual I have a jpg on each page of my manual which is the header. when I go to output it to a web HTM the jpg is gone and the font is really wonky. What am I doing wrong. It use to work and then I had to change the header and now it won't upload and I saved the image with the same file name exactly as the previous version.

Hi, when generating a RH2015-project, there was an option to convert all auto-sizing popups into hyperlinks. Now when testing RH2020, I cannot find this option back. Someone can help me? Paul Van Herzele, Belgium 

hi there, is it possible to change backslash keyboard shortcut to other key? I cannot find in anywhere that says Toggle layer mask on/off as rubylith in the keyborad menus.

I am using Robohelp 2020 and trying to merge individual projects into one Parent project. Here’s what I have tried so far: Created a Parent Project with a blank topic titled First_Topic.htm.Created two child projects with one topic each.All projects are saved in the same folder.Applied my CSS & stylesheet to all the topics.Added references to the two child projects inside the Default TOC in the Parent project using the ‘Insert Child Project’ icon.Configured the Responsive HTML Output preset with Start Page set to "Training_Resource_Center.htm" (which isn't an actual topic in my content).Default topic is set to First_Topic.htm, which is the blank topic in the Parent project.Upon clicking the Generate icon, I received a message: Output generation successful.However, when I try to view the output, it doesn’t render. I only see a blank HTML page titled Training Resource Center with 4 gray squares rotating. I am able to generate the responsive HTML output for each of the child proj

Hi all,I am a bit at a loss. I am using RH 2020.7.46 new UI. I don't understand what this setting in the frameless skin editor does exactly: I deleted the button "Expand/Collapse all" here, as I don't want it to be displayed on my pages. I do not use expanded text. However, this took no effect.I then found another place in the skin editor:Here, I tried which button-number was the button I wanted to be deleted and set the display to "none". Now, the button is no longer displayed. Instead, a search button is shown which is not working (no tooltip, no on-click-action).So, I don't really understand at which place I have to define what.Is my assumption correct that I have to define the function on the first tab and the layout, image etc. on the second?  Why are there no image paths given for buttons that definitely have an image? How am I to know which button is which number? In some cases, I get a marker in the editor, in some I don't. Also, deleting a button in th

We do not use the Index and Glossary in our documentation Output but I do see *idx. (and *.glo) files in our projects.I assume this is related to the Output Preset | Content | Include Index checkbox (defaults to checked)?If we don't have keywords, what is the effect of the checkbox on or off?If we don't need the output Index/keywords, can I remove the <project>\index\*.idx file on the backend without any adverse effects?Since we have our doc files in a repository, I just wanted to make sure it was okay to delete the file(s) from the repo. I think the answer is yes but just checking. TIA 

Hi everyone. I've been trying to export all topics of my project to do a manual translation.When I select the topics that I want to translate and I press export button Robohelp seems to start the exportation but never ends it. It seems to be blocked and then I have to restart the program.I've been trying to solve it by myself and I noticed it only happens with some specific topics.Those topics I can't export have the particularity of having numbers between the text. Then I replaced those numbers by text (7 to seven) and then the export worked.I thought that the project might be corrupt so I tried with a new project. The problem still happens.I tried with machine translation but got the same result.I've been using machine translation before and never had this problem with numbers until now.I'm using Robohelp 2020.8.34 Has anyone had this problem before? Hope someone can help me solve this.

Hi! I am providing non-web content for users and preferred the frames page formerly used for output. New output formats are fine but my search results appear in the main content area instead of the left navigation panel. This make for an awkward user experience as you must keep hitting the back button to see the search results again for every instance found of the search item.Can't I get my search results to appear on the left panel where the TOC appears like it used to?TYIA!

Hello, after upgrading a RH project from the last version to the 2022 Version all my output presets are lost! what could I do get them back?  

RH HTML v11Both Multiscreen HTML 5 and Responsive HTML. Me search results appear in the main content area, rather than in the left side panel. I cannot keep the search results in the left panel and see the linked content in the main window. What am I doing wrong? TIA!!

Howdy!I'm on Mac using the latest version of RH2020. I customize the Red_Green skin to the desired colors, but when switching to mobile or tablet, it the customization doesn't take effect. It remains Red_Green.Maybe I'm missing the place where to change this in the Edit pane? 

Today for the first time, we have a 2nd TOC that contains the same name plus this info in parentheses: (<my name> confilicted copy 2022-10-17).  It appears to be the same as the original. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks, Paul 

Two weeks back, we opened our Robohelp project file to find that the Topic list is empty and the Table of Contents are gone as well.The htm files are still there but it is not listed in the Topic list at all. We managed to reimport the topics but noticed that some of the links were recgonised as broken files. Is this a known issue for Robohelp 2019 Classic version? The files are placed on Sharepoint and accessed by multiple writers, and this is the first time this happened. Our IT does not think it is a Sharepoint issue but more to do with Robohelp.  

Our map file is large and scrolling through the file to find a specific topic and its map number is inefficient and time consuming. Is there a way to search for a specific topic in the map file?  I tried using the search field to the left of the map file list, but that doesn't locate the topic in the map file list.   

I am running Robohelp version 2020.8.34. I ran Help > Check for Updates and it says "New Update Available" "Adobe RoboHelp Version 2020.8.0". That sounds like an older version than the one I am running. Can anyone explain this? Should I press "Update Now"? Jim

RH version 2020.8.34 I had created a glossary. It appeared as the last item in the table of contents. IThe glossary displayed as an item on the Contents panel. I was able to generate CHM and Frameless output with the glossary's inclusion in each one. Ultimately, the glossary properly displayed in each output. PROBLEM: Subsequently, I added two items to the glossary itself, and saved it. However, the changes were never reflected in the HTM version that appeared in the Contents panel. I tried several times to undo, and then redo, the changes. I even saved, closed, and reopened the project. To no avail, the changes simply were never reflected when viewing the entire Glossary via the Contents panel. ATTEMPTED SOLUTION: So, I decided to 'recreate' the glossary. Accordingly, I did the following: I exported the glossary as a GLO file.I deleted any references thereto in the output presets.I deleted the glossary from the table of contents.I then deleted the glossary the

I have established the necessary connections between RoboHelp and Bitbucket. I can commit and push files changed in RoboHelp - but only from the command line. When I try to commit and push from RoboHelp the program tells me that it has succeeded, but actually nothing has changed. What do I need to do in order to be able to commit and push from inside RoboHelp? It works as described below. "RH" refers to what I do in RoboHelp. "CMD" refers to what I do on the command line". "Bitbucket" refers to what is visible in Bitbucket. RH: change something in a file and SAVECMD: git status shows red files and text 'no changes added to commit'RH: COMMITCMD: git status shows green files RH: PUSHCMD: git status shows green files Bitbucket: nothing shownCMD: git commit CMD: git status shows text 'nothing to commit, working tree cleanCMD: git push doeas as expectedBitbucket: shows the commit from command line, not the commit from RoboHelp

Hallo,ich habe in meinem RH Projekt eine Word Dokument verknüpft.Ändere ich im Word Dokument etwas, wird in RH mit dem roten Pfeil korrekt angezeigt das es Abweichungen gibt.Klicke ich auf Sync, von Quelle zu Projektverschwindet kurz das verknüpfte Dokument und erscheint dann wieder mit einem grünen Pfeil.Der Inhalt hat sich nicht geändert.Die Hilfe sagt das Sync für die Aktualisierung ist.Was ist der Unterschied zu Themen erstellen / aktualisieren?Dabei wird manchmal ein neues Thema angelegt wenn ich in der Überschrift etwas geändert habe.Sicher liegt das Problem 30 cm vor dem Bildschirm 🙂
