IIRC those navigation buttons only work when you're in a Breadcrumbs trail - have you defined them & are in a topic that is part of a breadcrumbs path?

Create two separate topics, then use a snippet to populate the contents of both topics. Then you can construct unique breadcrumb paths for each.

You can also search the FM forum for "Arabic" - there have been some posts involving fonts and diacriticals

Sorry, I'm still not really understanding what I'm looking at and what's going wrong. You're doing CSH and the new topic in the CHM file is not being launched by the application when called?

See what you get, but I suspect that you're going to have to contact the FM folks. Based on this thread - https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker-discussions/accessibility-issues-when-adobe-framemaker-files-are-saved-to-pdf/m-p/15374917#M87984 - it appears that they didn't hear back from them. I would contact them with your issues - see https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/enterprise-support.other.html#framemaker for your Adobe Support options. I'd recommend using the tcssup@adobe.com e-mail address as it reaches a team dedicated to Technical Communication Suite products including FrameMaker.

I'm not getting a clear picture of what you're doing. You have RH2020 (what patch version?) and are producing CHM output - right? You've added a new topic, but it's not showing up in the output? Maybe some screenshots of what's going on are needed - use the Insert Photos icon to add them to your reply.

Accessibility standards like 508? According to this page - https://www.adobe.com/accessibility/pdf/pdf-accessibility-overview.html - FM can create compliant PDFs. Have you raised whatever issues you're getting with FM PDFs in the FM forum? I don't recall much discussion about the issue. I highly doubt going through RH to create PDFs will result in any better PDFs than what FM could produce. Maybe you need to look at Structured FM to achieve whatever you're shooting for or contact the FM folks over whatever specific issues you've run it in FM.

It's complicated, but no, RH will not replace FM. It really depends on what output you create - long form PDFs, a book-publishing paradigm or Structured XML for use in other downstream workflows? Then FM is still your baby. Want to produce funky frameless HTML5 for websites or inclusion inside software? Then RH is the tool. Where the complications come in is that FM content can be imported or linked into RH projects & that FM uses an earlier headless version of the RH HTML5 rendering engine inside the FM Publish module. I can anticipate that FM will "catch up" with RH's outputs sometime in the future. Hope this helps 😊

Does it also misbehave on the sample project? If so, then unless a scripting expert like @frameexpert chimes in, I think you'd best contact the RH folks - see https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/enterprise-support.other.html#robohelp for your Adobe Support options. I'd recommend using the tcssup@adobe.com e-mail address as it reaches a team dedicated to Technical Communication Suite products including RoboHelp.

I bet the thinking is that LOEP is a print-publishing concept and really doesn't translate well to HTML. Fire up the Tracker (https://tracker.adobe.com/) and log an enhancement request!

A long time ago, the RH dev team put out this on search ranking:
The RoboHelp Development Team kindly posted this information on the forum explaining how the search is weighted. In order, it is based on the search word appearing in:
The topic title (as in Topic Properties and not to be confused with the Topic Heading)
The topic keywords (Increasing the frequency of a word as a keyword will not help as it will be considered only once.)
The topic headings in descending order so the word appearing in H1 will take precedence over the word appearing in H2
The body of the topic. Each occurrence of a word in topic is summed to calculate overall weighting of a word in a topic.

You're running RH2019 New UI? First, I'd look at updating to RH2022 (latest version). Then I'd look at adding keywords to topics.

So it's got to be something in those dropdown/expanding text things - I'd be tempted to test with the sample project. Send it to Word - if that works fine, then stick in one of your dropdown/expanding text things & try it again. If that blows up, then you've got something to show the RH folks.

I would make it a habit to set the AdobePDF printer instance as your default Windows printer whenever using FM. In earlier versions there was a great little plugin called SetPrint that would change your default printer (inside FM only) so you didn't have to mess around with changing it in Windows, but that plugin doesn't work anymore.

Did you make changes since "the other version" [which you haven't mentioned was what?]? Did you have both inline and CSS styles fighting it out as mentioned in that thread Peter brought up?
You also never answered the question about if it generates fine if you don't include that option in the preset - if that's the case, then the issue probably lies inside one of those expanding/dropdown sections. I suspect you're going to need to get the RH folks involved - see https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/enterprise-support.other.html#robohelp for your Adobe Support options.

I would suggest updating the RH2022 version to the latest patch (6 right now) and test upgrading a copy of a Classic project (the Classic to New UI process will leave your Classic project intact, but it's always safer to play with copies). Then come back with whatever issues you run into - we're volunteers here and wouldn't do it if we didn't like to help. Peter's site (grainge.org) is an immense resource of RH knowledge - buy him a coffee (donate) to help run it if you find it useful.
