Generate PDF : Java not found on Bigsur

[Charuta24400950jauk]

I have MacOS bigsur 11.6.2. I am running Generate PDF and it is giving me this error: 

Java not found. See if Java 1.8(64-bit) or higher is installed and JAVA_HOME environment variable is also set.

Java installation could not be verified. See output logs for more details.

Failed to generate AIPdf.

I tried starting Robohelp from Terminal. This is my terminal output:

This is my Java version:

mayureshvartak@Mayureshs-MacBook-Pro /Applications % java -version

java version "1.8.0_333"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_333-b02)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.333-b02, mixed mode)

mayureshvartak@Mayureshs-MacBook-Pro /Applications % 

I have also already done this step:

1. Create/edit the .profile file in the home folder using the command vim ~/.profile
2. Add this line to the file
   launchctl setenv JAVA_HOME $(/usr/libexec/java_home)

Your version of Java looks to be correct. I have this version that works.

See if this helps. Mac Machines

Beyond that unless a Mac user steps in with something, I can't help further as I am a Windows only user. In the absence of anyone else posting, try Support. See https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/enterprise-support.other.html#robohelp for your Adobe Support options. The email link tcssup@adobe.com is recommended as it reaches a team dedicated to Technical Communication Suite products including RoboHelp.

Thank you so much. Will try support and the email link...

[Peter Grainge]

I assume the link to Mac Machines didn't help. There is some technical stuff that Adobe provided.

I didn't see any mention of what version of RH2020 you're running - hopefully you're all patched up with the latest [as of May 2022] Patch 7 version.
