Question

How to add Print button to FlashHelp skin?

I'm nearly finished with my first Robohelp site and really like the software. This is probably a very obvious or even silly question, but for some reason, I am not seeing it. I want to add a print button to the FlashHelp skin to allow users to print individual topic pages they are viewing. I have seen this function on other sample FlashHelp sites. I just cannot see where you elect to include print button when generating the site? (fyi - I am not looking to export to Word or PDF - rather have users be able to simply print the page they are viewing.)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Rick - thanks for the reply. I was using the "FlashHelp Pro" menu to preview. Its dialogue does not have the option to select or deselect print. The standard FlashHelp menu had it. Duh. Thanks again!

This has been driving me crazy as well. I noticed no answer to where it went. The print button shows in the skin but not in the project. I guess it's like the natural language search. Adobe doesn’t think we need it and removed it.  Hey thanks guys!

Hi there

So you are publishing FlashHelp Pro to a RoboHelp Server? If you aren't doing this you don't need FlashHelp Pro. Use FlashHelp.

I cannot tell you the number of times I've seen folks opt for the "Pro" outputs because they think they are like the normal outputs but on steroids or something. They think they are missing out on features. It's a common misunderstanding.

Cheers... Rick

It's even better. Yes we have the server. We go it so we could have natural

language search and guess what? They got rid of that too.

Hi TK545661

When you double-click the FlashHelp Single Source Layout and work through the dialogs, you should see an option to include a Print button in the main toolbar.

Cheers... Rick
