Advice on the use of HR ePub Format & Mobile device

Hi all

I would like some advice on format ePub and help for mobile devices using RoboHelp authoring.

I need to create online help for a Contact folder management base system which will be available on the iPhone, Android, iPad, BlackBerry Torch, etc.. I use RoboHelp 8 and that you have followed the instructions on the Adobe blog to generate ePub format. I am trying to determine if I have to use this format. The way I see it, I could use the ePub format or edit the CSS so that the help content appears large enough on the screens of the mobile device.

Is the main advantage of using the format ePub his abililty to resize the content? I guess it would be useful, because the application will support Smartphones and tablets. My other concern is also to create an online help that requires users to download an ePub reader. Most mobile devices are compatible ePub? I know that the iPad, but I'm not sure of smartphones.

If someone has created for mobile devices help using RoboHelp and can offer suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Hello

I doubt that ePub is the way to go if you want to provide assistance. ePub is a format for eBooks, and you must download the ePub to view. ePub has no definition page paper being present in PDF format and it is ideal for phones, ebook readers, tablets, etc. which do not have the page size to match the size of the paper. Most phones and Tablet equipped with an eBook application installed.

I think a simple site to help would be much more useful as a help (if you indeed need to). WebHelp of RoboHelp is not optimized * couch * for mobile devices. As long as you call only a topic, you should be fine. I think showing skin is a no go as it eats way to much space on a mobile device.

Perhaps a simple site optimized for mobile devices is much more useful. Take a look at the mobile site of project gutenberg: http://m.gutenberg.org/

It is a mobile site that I love, but I fear that RoboHelp is unable to create this kind of output. Maybe an interesting feature for version 10.

On the CSS: You can use relative sizes, such as em. These scale based on the settings of the device. Using em seriously confuses the WYSIWYG in Robo 8.   Take a look at: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_units.asp

  • Advice on the use of the oracle.apps.aia.core.eh.i18n.EHCorrectiveActionRB

    Hello

    I'm trying to implement the AIA error handling and reading that AIA provides xpath functions to retrieve the error code messages and corrective action messages. the documentation says that you must use the oracle.apps.aia.core.eh.i18n.EHCorrectiveActionRB listresourcebundle class to do this.

    My questions are:

    1. this oracle.apps.aia.core.eh.i18n.EHCorrectiveActionRB of the class already exists within the AIA in order to add the new error etc... you just need to change?
    2. If the above is true then where can I find this class to add new messages?
    3 this Listresource bundle must be implemented in all composite samples of AIA? If yes how can I do this?
    3. does anyone have examples that I can use to implement the management of errors?
    4. all other general advice on the use of this list of resources group

    Thank you for your help in advance.

    1. this oracle.apps.aia.core.eh.i18n.EHCorrectiveActionRB of the class already exists within the AIA in order to add the new error etc... you just need to change?
    Yes, they exist oob with FP. In 10g, it will be under system/classes/bpel file.
    2. If the above is true then where can I find this class to add new messages?
    In 10g, it will be under system/classes/bpel file. 11 g, it will be under /soa/modules/oracle.soa.ext_11.1.1/classes folder.
    3 this Listresource bundle must be implemented in all composite samples of AIA? If yes how can I do this?
    No, the bundle is a single resource, and you can add your messages in the same class.
    3. does anyone have examples that I can use to implement the management of errors?
    Please see available in OTN download AIADemo. All composite materials have the error handling.
    4. all other general advice on the use of this list of resources group
    11 g class of resource bundles is replaced by a file of text properties.

  • Advice on the use/configuration/partitioning the 1 TB (2 x 500 GB) discs on the laptop (dv7-4190us) HP

    I asked 1 question about it before and really didn't get what I was looking for, does not so much ask clearly, so let me ask this question instead.

    Background: recently bought a laptop from quickshipdv7-4190us with a 1 TB worth readers who comes with 2 x 500 GB disks.

    The normal architecture of HP is what about formatting the drive / organization:

    1 500 GB drive contains the following Partitions: System, OS, recovery, HP tools

    -with the configuration of C: OS (440 GB) partition to contain and receive all the files, programs, documents, etc..

    2nd 500 GB drive contains: nothing - formatted as data D:

    So, here are the questions:

    (A) Comment set up and use the disks on this laptop?

    I see the options of what follows, please add, change, recommend and shoot.

    (1) such use, use the CS almost everything, use the d: data as a way to "Save" the data from the C: OS drive and perhaps programs

    (2) keep Partition / disk Structure as it is, but use Data for all personal data files, use C: OS for all Windows & program file facilities

    (3) reduce / repartition the size of CS 440 Go to say 150 GB to contain all programs, use the partition on the C: drive, that would be about 200 GB for personal data files.    Use the data for two backup D: drive or dedicated to Photos and music

    (4) add yours?

    I'd leave the how partitioning scheme. Do not rename the recovery or the partition of HP tools.

    It is advisable to use an external drive to store the C disk images and data from the D: drive on it.

    Make sure that you create a recovery on 16 GB USB keyor CD support

    Who should your emergency strategy in case your hard drive goes down.

  • Advice on the use of APEX_JSON with a CLOB in the body as a string

    Hello all and thanks for any help in advance.

    I have the task of liaising with a 3rd party API via JSON to send information to our database.  First warning is the HOST for us is not and race so I have no way of properly this test until tomorrow, but I wanted to ask this question to try to overcome a potential problem.

    In the body of the JSON object, we must add a chunk of xml (already created/kept or can be created on the fly) and it must be validated on as a long string.  Now, this question is that the string can be up to 20000 characters long so when its processed is stored as a CLOB in the database (not made by me).

    Now my thoughts early to do this was to create a procedure allowing certain parameters get the relevant piece of data and xml stored as a CLOB.  Then and that's where I maybe need some tips, follow these steps.

    This host requires JSON in this format

    {

    'batchcode': 1234562,

    'XML string': 'THIS WILL BE a MASSIVE XML STRING',

    ""bounding ":" ",".

    "ID": "123456465",

    'field1 ':

    .

    .

    etc.

    }

    We currently have a few apex applications so I got a good look at the documentation and allows to generate the required using JSON:

    Thus to collect information of input parameters

    APEX_JSON. INITIALIZE_CLOB_OUTPUT;

    APEX_JSON. OPEN_OBJECT();

    APEX_JSON. WRITE ("batchcode," value from database");

    APEX_JSON. WRITE ("XML string ', our xml database that is stored as a CLOB string");

    APEX_JSON. WRITE (bounding "," value of database");

    APEX_JSON. WRITE ('ID', 'Value of database');

    .

    .

    .

    etc.

    APEX_JSON. CLOSE_OBJECT();

    Then validate using endpoint:

    APEX_WEB_SERVICE. () MAKE_REST_REQUEST

    p_url = > 'URL of the end point. "

    p_http_method = > 'MESSAGE ',.

    p_username = > API_USER,

    p_password = > API_KEY,.

    p_body = > apex_json.get_clob_output

    );

    Now assuming that my method is correct only the APEX_JSON. WRITING literally accept its entry as a type CLOB and he will be able to properly analyze or will it arrive at a mansion that will actually write the string itself?

    Edit I found that if I APEX_JSON. WRITE ("XML", "CLOB table column") that it exported the CLOB but not in the format I want.  This is due to the fact that my CLOB has characters like <>etc in II and the output is burning out in unicode, so for example <? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"? "> as stored in the object CLOB becomes \u003C?xml version=\"1.0\ ' encoding =------"UTF - 8\ '? \u003E\n in the output using APEX_JSON. To write.

    The only other way to do it, I think it is so divided in pieces as follows:

    SELECT ROWNUM as XML_PIECE_NO, TO_CHAR (SUBSTR (a.xmldoc, (ROWNUM-1) * 4000, 4000)) AS SECTION

    Of ast_xmldata one

    CONNECT (ROWNUM-1) * 4000 < = LENGTH (a.xmldoc)

    Then maybe concat in the JSON long xml string field.

    I hope I have explained what I want to do but if not please respond any help will be greatly appreciated.

    EDIT I CAME FROM WITH a SOLUTION

    Post edited by: K4E - found solution 02/04/2016

    Thanks for the response of Christian, logical exit that way.

    Through some trial and error, I found a solution to my problem that seems effective enough without having to worry about unicode characters written.  There is seemingly a procedure without papers in the APEX_JSON package called apex_json.write_raw that does what it says.  All I had to do then was to use escape characters in my CLOB for things like "then I get a few good valid JSON in the format of the API, I work with love."

    Hope this helps someone else with the situation.

    In my view, that the source of the problem is the musethemes share button. It is differently resizing in browser than in Muse design mode. Please try to delete it. If deleting it solves the problem, you can contain muse-themes for a widget update.

  • Can I encrypt the data or SQLite DBs on mobile devices?

    Hello

    I can?

    Thank you.

    You can run virtually any code AS3 on MobilDevices. In others, you can run perfectly as3Crypto library and encrypt all the data you want.

    I believe you can also encrypt the SQLite DB on Mobile, but I have not personally tested.

  • alignment of the bullets for doc epub

    Hello

    I'm trying to format my paper for the publication of the ebook. I use Pages and specifically the ebook eBook template in Pages. I formatted and re-formatted in the last days to try to get my chips to align properly when I export the doc Pages in epub format.

    When I open the document in ibooks, the balls are not properly aligned. Also, when I download the doc epub for kindle and check the appearance of the epub on various e-readers, the bullets look well on android devices, but not on the (strange!) apple/mac devices.

    I tried everything (stripped the formatting and re-formatted 45 times more). I'd appreciate any help.

    Thank you

    Sunni

    Pages v5.6.1 in OS X El Capitan.

    The withdrawal of bullet of level 1 by default is 0 in and withdrawal of text is 0.2 in.. A dash of level 2 under level 1 using the symbols of dash Panel Format is 0.17 in. and his withdrawal of the text remains unchanged at 0.2 in. resembles what follows in the Pages and give a hope prior to export ePub. Regular time to 12 points. But there is a slight tooth out in iBooks to the dash of level 2. Arrgggh.

    Pages                                                                                 iBooks 1.5

    Now, adjust us this indent level 2 to be 0.25 with removal of text. It is not properly aligned in the Pages, but is very close to the iBook:

    Just another example of the real cost of using Pages v5.

  • PRS 505 using Adobe Reader PDF Format

    I have a problem using a PDF of my library books.

    When I download the books in the library PDF format, they are availble for viewing on the PC but when I move them to the PRS 505 reader and try to open, it dislpays only available out of a page and the book page does not open on the player. Everything is fine if the books are in epub format.

    I can navigate to the drive using Explorer and open the book on the PC and the size of the file is displayed correctly, but it will not work on the drive.

    Any ideas?

    Hello
    because it works very well in epub format, but not PDF, the drive works normally. The PRS500 and the PRS505 cannot read protected PDF files. even if the PDF file has been downloaded freely the problem are the DRM information embedded in the file with the copyright information.

  • Basic queries on the use of the iPod Mini G2 converted '8 GB CF'

    7 years ago, I asked for help to convert iPod found in a draw to the fate-many pieces for the tip!

    Kenichi gave me good advice, but he re-entered the drawer only to discover again seven years later!

    This time, I finally got round to do the conversion.

    Everything went exceptionally well and I now have an 8 GB player that functions perfectly I can say now.

    As it was the machine of my daughter, I don't know how to take control of it!

    Just to give you an idea of my skill level; It took me several minutes to find out how to increase the volume.

    First problem I have is that iTunes does not allow me to 'manually manage' my music before the 'restoration', because these options are greyed out!

    Once he had "restored", and I re-connected, these options are available to me.

    Since all my "music" collection has now been copied to the device, which includes a couple of 'e-Books' and also various sound effects, ringtones, poster ads etc. I would like to 'eliminate' this is not a soothing music, but I'm afraid of the consequences!

    Having chosen to 'Manually manage' my music, I was scared by a message that says actually ' do you really want to do?

    Do not understand the consequences that could follow if I said 'yes', I thought that I would be wise to consult the oracle first!

    If it is indeed possible to "take control" without too much pain, I would like to know how to remove the offending bells, whistles, horns, etc.

    I could then move on to the next possible stumbling block, 'e-books '. who are currently in the Albums and songs, just as they are on my phone, I hope there is a way to recognize them on the iPod as 'books '.

    Once it is fully charged, I hope that he will play well with system 'Audio 50' of my Merc.

    All the words of wisdom would be very appreciated!

    Now, I also have an iPod mini with flash storage.  I previously did similar mods on gen 3rd and 4th generation iPod "classic".  iPod mini is very accommodating to replace his drive hard micro with flash storage.  The main reasons are that its 'MicroDrive' use already the compact flash (CF) card form and connector.  But the current prices for the physically smaller SD card (and most popular) is much lower than in the same capacity, compared to the CF card, so I used a card SD to CF card adapter and turned a 64 GB SD card a card see  This is the adapter that I used

    http://www.Amazon.com/DP/B00EPMWT1M/

    Its size (including thickness) is an exact match for the 4 GB MicroDrive it replaces.  I already had a 64GB SD card that I used with my Mac, but they cost less than $25 on sale these days!  And the adapter is $ 13.  Surprisingly, the embedded software (designed for 4 GB, 6 GB of storage) mini iPod works perfectly at 64 GB.  The available capacity is about 59 GB; I have about 54 GB charge.

    So if you exceed the 8GB size in your mini iPod, here is your project "next"...   Back to your actual questions.

    First problem I have is that iTunes does not allow me to 'manually manage' my music before the 'restoration', because these options are greyed out!

    Without doubt because (at the time), it was set up to synchronize with your daughter iTunes library.  The iPod can be associated with both iTunes library.  When you did a restore using your iTunes library, the previous association has been removed.

    Don't worry if any currently on the iPod are in your library iTunes (on the computer), on the "consequences".  You can re - sync anything to the iPod, if you delete something by mistake.  Here's a convenient way to establish things...

    Create a new playlist in your iTunes library.  You can call it iPod songs.  Add ALL the songs you want on your iPod to the playlist.  At this point, the iPod has no need to be connected.  You work with your iTunes library only.  You can post back, if you want some advice on the use of playlists.

    Then, connect your iPod and select it in iTunes (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar) to show its settings screen in the iTunes window (as seen in my screenshot above).  The side left (in the sidebar), under settings, click music.  Right, parameters of music on the iPod screen.

    NOTE: For anyone else reading this, all the songs of the iPod that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.

    Check the box to Sync music, if it isn't already.  Below, choose the option to sync selected playlists, albums, artists and genres.  Below, under playlists, search for and select (check) this playlist of songs from iPod .  You don't need to choose something else on this screen (you can if you wish).  Click apply.  iTunes syncs only the songs you put on this playlist of songs from iPod to iPod.  Everything that is currently on the iPod is removed.

    Further, you can update this iPod songs playlist in your iTunes (add/remove songs).  The iPod has no need to be connected.  The next time that you connect the iPod (or click sync , if already connected), iTunes automatically updated the iPod with the same changes.  That's how I use my iPod 8 GB nano, unless I have more than one playlist that synchronize to the iPod (a few selections for the race and a "Favorites" playlist).

    I could then move on to the next possible stumbling block, 'e-books '. who are currently in the Albums and songs... If all goes well, there is a way to recognize them on the iPod as 'books '.

    I think you mean audio books.  Text-based 'e-books' do not work with the iPod (except iPod touch).  If audio books to appear in your library iTunes music, they should be classified as audiobooks in iTunes.  Right-click a 'song' (which is actually a digital audio book) in iTunes and get information.  You can select several elements at the same time and get information on the selection.  In the Info window, go to the Options tab.  Change media kind in audiobook, then OK.  The item now appears in your library of audiobooks to iTunes (not your music library).  See also the article as an audiobook iPod, not a song, when synchronized.

    To set up synchronization of audio books, the procedure is similar to the songs.  On the settings screen of the iPod, in the sidebar, under settings, click on audio books.  Set up screen setting audio books from iPod and apply.

  • Confusion about the use of the tables [was: tables]

    I was told, at some point by someone, that the new web site design uses no tables. I'm so confused that I just read in the Help Guide of Dreamweaver Reference Guide, Chapter 5 page layout and Design, there is a whole section for tables. Many help sites, I was told that my site does not even because it is built in the tables. I built it using the ancient DW in 2002. I don't know which version, but the most recent version was Dreamweaver 4 back then. I am trying the trial of 2015, making many tutorials to learn the latest that has completely changed what I learned 14 years ago.

    So, what I can, or may not, use arrays? Please see the reference guide for DW 2015, 5 ml

    Thank you, Deb

    Oh, my site is mainemadestuff.com

    [Edited by moderator subject line]

    Dreamweaver reference Guide is desperately obsolete. Because Dreamweaver is now updated several times per year, new features have been added, but the old material has not been removed. For example, Chapter 5 contains 12 pages on executives. Dreamweaver can't stand frames.

    Advice than a website "shouldn't even work because it is built in the tables" are nonsense. Your site does not, and will continue to work for many years to come.

    The problem with the page layout using tables, it's that it is rigid. The content is not redistributed when the site is displayed on a mobile device. Tables is also bad for technology assistance for the blind. A blind person trying to access your site would have great difficulty of navigation on every page.

    Tables should be used these days for their original purpose: to display data, such as sports or statistical results in tables of trade. Modern web design uses CSS to control page layout and styles. But do not worry about your existing site stop suddenly work. Spend the time learning the latest techniques and reorganize your site when you feel more comfortable with CSS. But forget the so-called Dreamweaver reference Guide. It will be much more to enlighten confused them.

Maybe you are looking for
