RH9 - Any idea why generating printable output from the Command Line doesn't include images?

[Jared Hess]

I have a batch file that creates a printable output of our main documentation broken up into 36 separate documents, 1 per chapter. Each chapter is a separate layout. I realize that RH has its own Batch building process, but the reason for me doing it through the command line via a batch file (.bat) is that RH keeps taking focus from my mouse and it makes it difficult to do any other computer work while the RH project generates the printable output for those chapters.

Anyway, RH's Batch build works fine.

But the command line for printable output does not include any of my images in the printable output. I don't know why. The document generates with all the topics fine, but the images are missing. No placeholder box in the resulting Word doc, they just simply weren't included. Has anyone else seen this? Any way to fix it?

Jared - I am having the same issue in RH11. Did you ever figure this out?

Hi John. unfortunately, no.

The only thing I use command line compile for now is Html Help (chm) outputs. Even WebHelp with command line had issues with conditional build tags not getting applied the last time I tried it.

I'm using RH 9. I had hoped things would be better in later versions, but seeing that you're running RH 11, I would guess they haven't improved the command line compiler in some time and it probably has the same old bugs.
