RH new UI. latest patch.

I've put the PDF I want users to download in the assets/docs folder. See screenshot.

However, when I generate the Online Help, it is looking for a file in downloads/help.pdf

While I can get around this by copying/pasting my PDF into the downloads folder, I'd like to know if this is an actual issue or is there a setting somewhere else, eg in the Skin?, that's setting this downloads folder. 

thanks.download-pdf-2.pngdownload-pdf-1.png

I justed tested this in Update 10 and it showed a similar path in the preset. On generation it worked just fine. That was all I did.

 

Did you perhaps use help.pdf in an earlier attempt and the browser is showing a cached output? Try you output with another browser.

I tried it in MS Edge and it wants to open the FramelessSkin.pdf from Rocklat68. 

When I open it, the help.pdf file is displayed.

I think at this point I would create a new project with just the default topic and a PDF by way of checking whether it is project related.

Can you share the test project? If you can, then see the Contact page on my site and send the project as instructed there. Do make sure you include a link to this thread and please do not email the project direct.

 

You said you were up to date. That does mean Update 10?
