Problems with RoboHelp 8 HTM and JavaHelp

[SYGP]

Hello,

I was working with RoboHelp 7 and created help. Now I import my files in RoboHelp 8 and have some problems:

1. In design view files look just fine, but when I generate javaHelp i have some unwanted characters. At the begining of all pages and after all images in page I have ">" symbol. What should I do to lose this unwanted characters.

2. When I generate JavaHelp in Output view I get exception :

"Building Full-Text-Search data...

When I import my help in application search doesn't work. How to generate help without any exceptions?

Hi. I too am experiencing the same "Java IO Exception" error when it's at the "Building Full-Text Search" part. Did you ever figure out a fix to this problem? Hope you or someone has an answer.

Hi!

I'm still having the same problem I was hoping to find some solution, because it is really annoying.

I've noticed that this exception occurs after some minor modification in topic text (e.g. correcting a grammar mistake). Also, after generating JAVA help and viewing the results, the topics which have "?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ? at the beginning, won’t be displayed correctly and won’t be found in the search results.

So, I was not able to find the problem, although my colleague can modify the same help projects, and won’t get the same exception. So, my PC was changed, Robo Help installed freshly, but this problem still remains .

Well, any clues?

I have moved this thread to the Other Layouts category where it belongs as the problem is with a particular output.

I don't know the answer but hopefully SYGP or Susan Darling will come back with how they solved the problem.

Thanks for the reply.

There are two possible workarounds in this case:

1. Import the source again and do not change a thing.

2. Extract the damaged output file and delete the  "?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" line. Then compress .jar again.

Neither of these are timesavers

I'll be still hoping to see a solution for this problem.
