How to generate a Word document and a PDF file of help files?

Hello

I'm new to RoboHelp HTML and uses version 8.  I've updated some help files, and now I want to generate the output.  Here are my questions / or the process that I used:

  • To compile the help, I clicked on generate a main page layout.  Is this correct?  I noticed that the stamp on the xpj file has not changed.  The date is still many months.  (Why is this?  Must show a recent update date?)  However, the files that I've updated reflect the dates when I did the updates.  It comes to files art, a high hydrostatic pressure and htm, js, ldb, pss, DPC files.
  • To generate a pdf file, I clicked on Generate PDF.  I was not able to generate the PDF file first, but then I enabled macros in Word 2007 (Trust Center settings > enable all macros.. .and clicked on the checkbox, approved access to the VBA project object model) and you click on Generate the PDF.  At the end of the generation, I got this error in Word: Microsoft Office Word has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.  The news that you were working may be lost.  Word can try to recover it for you.  I closed the Word and dialog box generated several blank documents.  Microsoft Office Diagnostics was performed and found a problem and fixes it.  Despite the error message was generated a pdf file.  (If you could give me any idea on why I got error messages, which could be useful to know).

Thank you!

Welcome to the forum.

I would suggest a different workflow.

When you select generate a main page layout, RoboHelp did this according to the settings in all that is attached to your main layout. Better at least first double-click the page layout so that you see the settings and can make a difference to the way you want. After that, you can use generate a main page layout if you want, but I'd rather go through the layout itself and check the settings.

The XPJ file changes only when certain things should be recorded in it and it's not every time that you are working on the project. In other words, don't worry about the date of the file.

Now for the PDF. Again not the best place to start and still better to go of the provision itself. You can try to simply generate a PDF file, but many users prefer to create a Word document and make some changes in that. It can just be put page breaks to improve appearance, it may be more, it's your call. Once the Word document is good, generate the PDF from there.

You will find the page layouts, that I want to talk in the pod of single Source Layouts. View > pods.

  • Convert several Word Documents into several PDF files

    Hi, I'm looking for a way to convert several PDF files in word documents. I am running Adobe Acrobat 3D Version 8.1.2. It seems as if will Advanced > Document processing > batch processing and then using the Print sequence All will do, but when I selected word documents I want to turn into PDF files, after I click on "Execute sequence" I get a message in the progress window saying «Start the application in which the file was created...» "then Acrobat stops and nothing happens. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

    Thank you!

    Hi "jhaystead"

    Apologies to make an erroneous suggestion. "Batch conversion" is a feature of Acrobat 9 or higher.

    I would suggest that you use the "Open All" sequence > double-click the Edit > "2. ' Run the command: "choose"Selected folder"and BROWSE to your folder of entry. The same for the '3. Select output location", you can choose"Same folder as Original (s)", click OK, and then click 'run the sequence '.

    That invoke the PDFMaker to convert Word to PDF documents and save the PDF (s) in the documents mentioned, instead of printing output and inviting them to record the result every time as Adobe PDF Printer.

    Plus, could you please check if menu/toolbar Adobe PDF options are there in Word and works well?

    When you said,

    ' Is the only way I can get a PDF file produced to manually open each word document, and then save it in the format PDF.» I did have luck with the multiple PDF creation. " Print you documents Word, Adobe PDF or printer using the PDFMaker options?

  • How to maintain links into a Word document into a PDF file?

    I just bought and installed Adobe Acrobat Pro DC on my Lenovo ThinkPad E555 running Windows 10.

    The only reasons I bought 10 Acrobat is because my old version of Acrobat 7 cannot be installed on the new machine because you have turned off the phone as the lineage of the old product.  Acrobat 7 had a great feature that I use all the time - it allows me to make a PDF of a MSWord document that preserves embedded HTML links that would work in the PDF document.

    Now that I have installed Pro DC, I can't figure out how to make a PDF that retains links to MS Word.  For example, if I type this:

    http://www.ClickShare.com making the PDF with this clickable link.  But if I type:

    Clickshare Service Corp..  (with the embeded link) it will support only forward.

    Unfortunately, Acrobat Pro DC is useless for me if he won't and I'm going to uninstall it and bring the disc to the retailer for a full refund.

    Please explain to me how to activate this feature. I have to nose around the unofficial forms and find other people with the same problem.

    I would be recognizing an email from Adobe technology: [email protected] (Bill) you will see that I am a registered user of a current product, so please help me out here.

    Hi densmore53,

  • How to paginate an Indesign document with a PDF file?

    Hello world!

    I am a french student and I have to do a paper on the film IN TIME (2011) by Andrew Niccol, and I wanted to paginate my document in the style of the meter the characters have on their arms (0000.00.0.00.00.00).

    I created it on Photoshop, as a simple text, and I wanted to know if there was a way to automatically paginate all documents with this file (by changing the numbers automatically)? In addition, it would be perfect if it could be lower, as the counter, having the last paged numbered 0000.00.0.00.00.00... ?

    If anyone has an idea...

    Thank you for helping me!

    I've added snapshots to make my question more clear:

    PS: I'm sorry for my bad English...

    InDesign cannot change text inside a file Photoshop - you are aware of this? You would need to make a Photoshop file for each page.

    A scanned document is an image; You can't find a picture.

    If the image contains text, recognition of characters (OCR) will convert the 'text' in the image in real text (searchable, editable).

    OCR can be performed automatically when converting a PDF to Word, using the ExportPDF service.

    To run OCR inline in a PDF document, you will need Acrobat.

  • How to type a word document like I did with Windows 7 word processor

    How to type a word document that I did on the processing on Vista?

    Microsoft Office (incl. Word) does not include Windows 8 (or another version of Windows): it is a suite of applications that can be purchased separately. If you had before and he did not buy, it was probably a "OEM version" which was supplied by the manufacturer of your PC (& that you paid at the same time that your PC). You should also note that software OEM is linked to its origin PC (motherboard actually) and cannot be transferred to a new machine.

    Check if you were supposed to get Microsoft Office with your current PC.

    If you have Windows 8, you should be able to access Word through a tile on the Start screen. You can check if its installed by looking in the programs and features control Panelsection.

    If you do not have Microsoft Word you can buy it individually or part of a suite Microsoft Office. Please see:

    http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/products/?CTT=97 .

    Windows 8 still has the built-in basis called WordPad word processing. Just type WordPad when the Start screen until it appears.

    There are other available word processing programs, including those that are free.
