We have content in RH 2020 where the content was:Originally written in FramemakerImported into RH classic The RH classic project upgraded to RH 2020 We have a new RH project where we have basically taken the content from the previous RH project and copied it over to the new one. My question is, What do we do about map IDs? I copied over the map IDs file as well to the new project. So will the map IDs still work in the new project?
Hello everyone, as you can see in the title, i have a problem with my skin. I just convertet a 2019 project to Robohelp 2020. As you can see in the pictures, now the skin isn't generated properly. In the first picture you can see the preview of the "Orange" skin(and how it should be) and in the second picture you can see a example of the generated project. As you can see on the left side, everything is a link and the index has a different format. I have multiple skins, and this issue only occured with one skin. I can just use another skin, but i maybe there is an easy fix.
Hello,I am using Adobe RoboHelp 2019 14.0.11.29 and trying to edit ehlpdhtm.js file to add functionality because it is referenced in all htm files.The problem is that after a post build, changes made to the ehlpdhtm.js file are not preserved.There would be a way to keep the changes made to the files in order to add functionality later?
I am starting to think about the process of upgrading my RH 2019 Classic projects to RH 2020. I am working with a very old stylesheet and this seems like a good opportunity to clean it up, which ideally would include renaming some styles as well as deleting unused styles. In RH 2020, is it possible to rename a style and have the new name be automatically reflected in all the elements where that style is applied? I suspect not, but I was hoping there might have been some improvements since the discussion of RH 2017 that I found at this thread:https://community.adobe.com/t5/robohelp-discussions/robohelp-2017-styles/m-p/10343905 Thanks!
Hi all. I've previously been using RH 2015, integrated to our TFS server.I'm used to files automatically being checked out when you edit them.I've converted a RH 2015 project to RH 2020 format, and uploaded it to our TFS (Azure DevOps server) via my Visual Studio 2019 client (because for the life of me I couldn't get it to work from RoboHelp with the instructions here: https://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/using/devops.html)I have set the Version Control preferences for TFS, and created and added a connection to the project ok. "Get Latest" succeeds without errors.If I lock/unlock a file in RH2020, I can see it being checked out/released in the Visual Studio 2019 client.But I can't save edits!It doesn't matter whether I lock the file or unlock the topic before editing, every time I hit save, I just get "Error. Failed to save file."Any tips? I can see the file being checked out on the TFS server when I click "lock" on a file, and then being release when I click "unlock".The local
My company purchased Robohelp for me to use. It then allowed me in to the Creative Cloud Teams plan. Two different logins on my Adobe page. It is absolutely impossible for me to use Robohelp, Photoshop, XD at the same time, something I did ALL THE TIME BEFORE. Why can't I use ALL MY PRODUCTS?
Hello,I have a numbering problem with multi-level lists. If I use a numbered list and between two numbered lines I want to insert a Paragraph style text. What happens is that the rest of the list after the Paragraph text automatically restarts at 1, which is not what I want. Is there a way to make it continue to 3 without having to set the restart numering.See the example:1. Instruction 1...2. Instruction 2... IMPORTANT Do not delete the client ID.3. Instruction 3 (I want to continue to 3 without having to define the restart numbering, in fact just tell it to continue)
Does anyone use the expand all/collapse all button with the frameless layout? I'm setting up a new layout and I'm wondering about the purpose of that particular button. There are some topics with multiple headings and sections, but the button doesn't affect the display of these topics. It also doesn't affect the display of the table of contents on the left.
When I am generating Responsive HTML as output, images are appering fine on my local machine, but when I am pushing it for production, some of the images goes missing. This doesn't happen in case of webhelp.I am using Robohelp 11, can anyone please tell me what could be the possible reason and how to fix it?
Is it possible to set up some standard image sizes to apply as a style in RoboHelp?
Hi! Using RH 2020 and discovered an interesting issue that I can't resolve. When I generate printed output, the links that are in tables are placed in a separate line, as seen in the attached image. This does not happen in my html5 output, which uses the same css, and it does not happen to links that are not in tables. I am using 1 master page, which references 1 css file. CSS is:a {display: inline;color: #01637c;text-decoration: underline;}Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions are much appreciated.
I'm using RH 2019 New UI version - did RH remove the ability to edit the "inline script" when you're trying to insert inline JavaScript for a custom button like we used to have in version 2017? Thank you so much, everyone. Really appreciate it.

We recently coverted a RH2017 project to RH2020 (our exact software version is 2020.6.76). In the project, notes are created using one-row, two-cell borderless tables in which the first cell contains the note image. We generate using using Responsive HTML5. The issue: In the generated help, the note image shrinks as the display window's size is reduced. We need the image to remain the same size no matter what size the display window is. The following screenshots show the difference between the largest display size (monitor width) and the smalllests. The note image is circled in both. Screenshot 1 - display at monitor widthScreenshot 2 - display is at its smallest Here's the code for the table from the screenshots:<table cellspacing="0" style="margin-left: 50px;" width="89.512%"> <colgroup> <col style="width: 3%;" /> <col style="width: 93.778%;" /> </colgroup><tbody>

I would appreciate any help/insight on this issue:Videos play in the preview in the Author view and when viewing the output in Robohelp and when launching the output from Windows Explorer. But they won’t play when accessing the help output from the server as a client would access it (from the web).Here are the details:I’m using Robohelp 2020.6.76The project was converted from Robohelp 2019 (Classic). The issue is occurring with all videos in the project: the ones that existed in the project before the conversion, and the new ones that we add post-conversion. We didn't experience this issue before the conversion.The videos were first imported into Contents of the project by right-clicking the folder and selecting Import > File.I’m adding the videos to a topic using the Insert Multimedia button and navigating to the folder in Contents where they are stored. The topics containing the video are hyperlinked in another topic.The videos are MP4s. They average about 28,000 KBs.When I click
I am having issues with RoboHelp 2020 where any time I generate a responsive html 5, the table of contents is not viewable after clicking the html link in the output folder. I have tried auto-creating a new TOC after making changes to the contents and have verified the Table of Contents drop down menu shows the correct TOC when editing the responsive html5 layout. Again, no output is viewable when clickin the html link in the folder the project outputs to.
RoboHelp is automatically adding numbers to the topic header. I have looked at the master page but can't edit or delete the number. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
Anyone have any idea what's going on here? Whenever I import a document into my RoboHelp project, the tables look fine while I am editing them. However, when I generate my project (Responsive HTML5), the table-border weights are inconsistent. Sometimes they're heavier, and sometimes they're the right weight (0.5 pt). I've been playing around with my CSS for a long time in an attempt to figure out what's going on. My best guess is that something's happening when I import the document—maybe there's an underlying style hidden in Word that I can't find. One last note of interest—the tables look okay in Internet Explorer. The weight changes appear in Chrome and Edge.
Hello,I've been working on a project (a copy from another one) and when generating the output in Responsive HTML, I get the character below. This appears in the middle of my text, or when I have <p>... I frankly don't know why this is happening. I looked at my CSS, my HTML, and it's all clean. Thanks in advance for your support.
I'm converting a Robohelp Classic project to modern Robohelp, and most every time I try to search (the generated WebHelp output), it crashes. Also, when the search does work, it's very slow. the project has about 930 topics, but the Classic version is very fast.Thanks!
I am using RH 2020.6.76. Skin = Frameless Oceanic.Whenever I click on an index item, the index collapses each time. For example,INDEX V Keyword1 TopicA TopicB TopicCKeyword 2Keyword 3If I click on TopicA (or B or C), I get INDEX > Keyword1Keyword 2Keyword 3Is there a way to keep Keyword1 expanded? This seems to be the most reasonable thing to do because a user would want to click through TopicA, TopicB, then TopicC.I even see this issue with the old Compas Travel project (Contact New > General > New Contact - General Screen)
Conditional contentI've been using Zendesk Help Center for a couple of years. Before that it was Gitbook. I'm at the point where I need to have a feature like conditional formatting because there are too many options in our product and having the user continually try to sort out or locate the relevant material is a real challenge. So, I see examples where there is a list of "filter" checkboxes that the user can tick off to narrow down the content. In my main case, I want to force the user to answer 3 questions, each one of which is answered by a single choice of however many. So I don't want multi select in a filter group, I just want one, like a radio button. Is it possible? I also wonder about a "workflow wizard", where the questions and answers are handled in an interactive manner, e.g. Which device are you connecting to?- Windows PC- Mac- Embedded device etc, then the choice is entered and the next (or subsequent) sections hav
Hi, I'm a fairly new user of Robohelp 2019 and have recently been working with 2019 Classic. My company want to move to Reimagined but I can't generate the project following migration. During the generation process it gets stuck on patching topic without any further information. All pages are generated in the output location but the assets folder, with images and CSS are not present. I've tried leaving it for a couple of hours but no change. I'm using the Responsive HTML output and saving in a local folder for testing. I'm running RH 2019 with Update 11. Has anyone seen this before? If you require any further information, please let me know. KR
I'm attempting to import a PDF file (I've tested with several different files and none of them are protected); however, when I select "Create new topic(s) based on style(s)", I receive the error message, "Due to the complex formatting of the selected PDF file, you must choose the option to "Convert as absolutely positioned HTML." I then attempted to import it with the option "Create new topic for each PDF page" - "Convert as absolutely positioned HTML" and I receive a "Failed to Convert" error message. I've attempted all of the conversion options, but continue to receive error messages. Guidance on how to successfully import a PDF file into my RoboHelp project would be greatly appreciated!Thank you,Nikki
