RoboHelp 7 HTML - Captivate Integration

[Guest]

Hello,

I have a problem importing captivate projects into my RoboHelp 7 HTML projects. When I publish used to be able to import the [captivate project]_skin.swf and it would import all relevant swf files into the help files. When I attempt to do this now, RoboHelp locks up.

I thought that it might just be taking a bit longer than normal, so I let it sit, and sit, and sit. About 3 hours later I decided to Ctrl + Alt + Del it to get it to stop. Of course, no captivate files were brought in.

So, I tried to just import the pertinent .swf file so I could at least get the files in there. Well, I got the files in and working, at least in the previews they are. When I attempt to output the .chm file or a Flash Help Pro, only one of the videos works properly. The rest start with the Adobe Captivate progress bar, then stop.

I am currently using RoboHelp 7.0.2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there Andrew

One thing that always bites me in the heels when I'm doing this is that the project should not still be open in Captivate. RoboHelp seems to hang until I close the project in Captivate.

Wow, I can't believe that it was that simple.

Thanks.
