RoboHelp for Word 8.0 - can't open a pdf file from help topic

running RoboHelp for Word 8.0 on a Windows 7 machine. I produce WinHelp for one of our clients.

I just converted an old online help system from RoboHelp 7 to RoboHelp 8.

one of my topics has a button to launch a pdf file

{button Transport Feature Chart, EF(`GFC.pdf', `', 1, `')}

I can generate the hlp file, launch the help and open the topic but cannot open the pdf file when I click on the button.

any ideas?

Hi there

Four words explain it.

Mark Of The Web

What is likely happening is that you have MOTW enabled.

Cheers... Rick

back to this issue. If it is MOTW, how can it be fixed? I am using RoboHelp 8 producing WinHelp.

I also produce HTML Help and don't have a problem lauching the pdf from that system.

I don't know the answer to your problem but Mark of the Web is not relevant. That only applies to WebHelp as Rick realised after his response suggesting that.
