According to

http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh8/using_rh8.htm, this issue was resolved in 8.0.1.  I have 8.0.2.208 and experiencing the same issue.  What's interesting is that not all the text in the dropdown is printing; only from a certain point to the end.  If I select only the text that's printing and apply the conditional tag, part of it still prints.  Very frustrating.  I've updated DHTML effects in topics but that didn't resolved the issue.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Did you apply the patches in order? Adobe updates are sequential, not cumulative.

To answer Peter's question, I created this topic in 2008 so it's been through several RH upgrades.  I don't recall ever copying content from an output file to source.  I still have RH7 and the project installed so I launched both, created printed documentation for just the one topic and works just fine.

To answer Amebr's question, only the hotspot contains the conditional tag.  No text within the dropdown contains any conditional tags.  I don't understand why this worked in RH7 and not in RH8.


Whether you recall copying from an output file or not,  maybe you didn't realise you were doing it, that content is from an  output file and likely the cause of the problem.

From RoboHelp 8 XHTML has been used in RoboHelp so things that worked in HTML may no longer work with XHTML. You could try the options in Tools > Options of generating RoboHelp edited content as HTML for issues with online help but I doubt that has any effect on printed documentation. Worth the effort of a try I guess but remember to change it back afterwards, it is an all project setting.
