Links between .chm files

• Link between CHMS

  I want to create a link between two ECMS who reside in the same directory of the table of contents. For example, just for context, I have the following:
  Link 1
  Link 2
  Link 3
  
  3 link links to a remote subject. The link opens correctly in the right pane of the CHM, but I want the link to open the second help CHM, does not open in the same frame.
  
  I chose the new window in the properties of the table of contents but still no luck.

  Hi, TechWriter77,

  You can do this by linking the table of contents entry to a topic that, when opening, fires a shortcut command to the second file .chm open. See the example below.

  I think that Rick also covers this in her file tips and tricks ('Launch HTML Help shortcuts in the table of contents/Index' and 'external launch.) CHMS").

• Link between swf files.

  Hello. I need to find a way to link several .swf files, so I can have a menu and after clicking on a button to go from there to any file swf and return. But I need something that works in AS 2 and 3 because my files are located in the two ActionScripts. It shouldn't be a problem, right? Ive been looking and trying different things, but I can't do it.

  I hope someone can help

  Thank you.

  If this code works then it is probably on the right track to run multiple files.  View the code the try which produces an error and the error as well.

• links between swf files

  Hi all

  I have (or will have) two Gallery swf files that I would like to link them together. As with most of the flash that I did recently, is following the "classroom in a book" - Chapter 9 goes on connection various pages together using the code below which I have changed to adapt to hopfully with my documents.

  cloud.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, portfolio_flash_2content);

  function portfolio_flash_2content(myevent:MouseEvent):void {}

  var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("portfolio_flash_2.swf");

  myLoader.load (myURL); addChild (myLoader); }

  I use a form (cloud) as the trigger on the first page

  the second swf called portfolio_flash_2

  Unlike in the book, I have added this script to the other script that addresses the larger images on my Gallery buttons.

  from the test the page with this script, I get a problem of function over all larger images keep showing instead of stop - I managed to solve most of the problem, but as it's script I need help again once.

  Is there an easier way to link swf files? should my script just unravel or can it be placed in another layer?

  Cheers for any help

  Paul

  You can't interact with a form.  You must convert it to a movieclip, assign it an instance name of 'clouds' via the properties panel, and then your code should work as long as they are all in the same frame (not the same layer, just the same frame).

• Using the link between PDFs on a local PC (not on the web)

  Hello

  I am creating a PDF with links to specific locations on external PDF.

  Web search shows that we can do this by adding pages or named destination for the link.

  My question is made of "binding" between documents on PC work local open in Acrobat (Reader) recovered himself, instead of the documents on the web and the web browser via the plug-in?

  One related answer on thread on another forum (creation of a link to a pdf to mark an another pdf - Adobe Acrobat Windows) indicates that this feature works only when the PDF file is retrieved from a web server.

  If this does not work, could someone explain the technical background?

  My client wants to use the link between the files on the PC, so I need to make my client to know why it won't work.

  Thank you.

  I think that the page you found makes it more complicated, not less. In my view, in part because there are several different problems mixed with each other.

  The easiest way to post a link to a page in another PDF file is EXACTLY the same as link to a page in the same PDF: just create a link to GO to the VIEW. It's obvious only when we know, so people often end up with alternatives that are unnecessarily complicated.

  Named destinations are complicated, but they are good if you may need to change the target file and the file source link in the right place, even if it's another page. They need careful planning and a systematic approach.

• Maintaining links between PDFs converted from source (Word) files

  Hello

  If I have two Word files and manage the links between them (hyperlink on one specific bookmark on the other), is there a way to easily remember (or reproduce) these links on PDF files converted from Word files?

  Here's what I've tested so far.

  -On the source file, the format of the hyperlink is "{filename} .docx #{bookmarkname}. I changed the extension of docx to pdf.

  -Source/target to convert Word files to PDF format.

  -The hyperlink on the converted source PDF is in the format "file:///{targetpath}/{targetfile}%23{bookmarkname"}

  -When I click on the hyperlink on the converted source PDF, security warning pops up with "this document tries to connect to...". »

  -If I click on 'Allow' on the pop-up, the web browser opens with "cannot display this page" error. "

  
  

  I guess that by using the hyperlink is not a viable solution. If the links do not work, do the following manually?

  
  

  - source file Word, remove all hypertext links (because they do not work on PDF even when)

  -convert files to PDF format

  -on target of PDF, the value named destinations on the points corresponding to Favorites
  

  -on the source PDF, find points corresponding to hyperlinks and define the links to destinations named on target PDF.

  
  

  (Actually the situation is more complicated because files are shared at the chapter level and they should be merged for each new version.)

  
  

  If there is a simpler method to achieve this, I would appreciate your help.

• How can I associate between pdf files - so that the links work for all users.

  I have created a digital book with pdf files for each chapter and index individual (the files are too large to combine them into 1 pdf). I'll create links between the chapter titles in the index to each chapter (pdf). It works on my system, but the links do not work if I provide to someone else. Obviously, the link is the search of my ' computer / my account / my file ', and that the files are open on another system it cannot find them. There got to be a simple solution... somebody put me out of my misery please!

  Thanks in advance.

  You should only use this type of action for non-PDFs. For the links to the PDF format, use the type "go to a page view.

• Link to a pdf page on the web from a chm file

  Hello

  I use RoboHelp 9.0.2.  I'm trying to create a link in a chm file to a specific pdf page by using a URL.  The link that I use is http://www.actuarialstandardsboard.org/pdf/exposure/ASOP_No27_second%20exposure_2011.pdf#p age = 41

  I put the line above in my chm file.  It appears correctly in the project URL list and display correctly when I choose the show.  It appears to be correct also in the HTML code of the page.

  However when I create chm by clicking on the link brings me just the beginning of the pdf file.  After you click the link in the chm file and Explorer opens, the URL in the browser does not display #page = 41.  She finished at.pdf.

  Did I miss something or someone kno why it does not work?

  Thank you

  Hello

  This link does not work for me when I paste it into the address bar of my Firefox browser. It does not work in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox. In Firefox, it opens the PDF file generically.

  I tested in a CHM and he did try and link, but it presents a black page. Looks like the page, but it is blackened.

  CHM files are based on elements of Internet Explorer to display their content. So maybe, it's something specific to a certain version of Internet Explorer, but also a certain version of Acrobat Reader.

  See you soon... Rick

• links appears in the .chm file

  Hello
  I worked on a new project to help file. I have a problem on some of the generated pages (which contain hyperlinks) in the .chm files. I create the page help & hyperlinks. They work very well in test mode.
  When I generate the help, pages opens well, but the is no longer posting the links hyperlink (or work!).
  Specifically, they have lost to indicating them that they are a hyperlink & the color of the text is returned to being the normal 'black' for general text of underscore.
  Is this problem with the help of some files in this project a few days ago. I fixed it by recreating these pages and related links. However, since making it as much work, he appeared in another page.
  I read here that someone else had a similar problem and someone suggested, it may be the length of the text in the name of the link, but appears not to be the problem in my files...
  I'd rather not have to re - create pages each time to solve this problem, and without having to scroll through the entire project whenever I generate to make sure that the links did not file pages - so if anyone has any ideas why this happens, I would really appreciate hear you!
  I use RoboHelp x 5 on a machine running XP.
  
  I hope someone has some ideas...!
  
  Thank you

  Hi Rick,
  That's ok--there are probably reasons to doubt me - I'm quite rusty with RoboHelp, so chances are it's me!
  Yes, the topic is certainly... but if the full path name can perform, which would defnitely be a problem...

  the path to the link is:
  .. /.. /General_functionality/Printing_and_Exporting/Print_and_Export.htm

  & location of the complete project (down to the folder where the link does not is):
  My Documents\test APRE HELP FILES\APRE_Front_End_User_Guide_Files\APRE_screen_overview\APRE_screen_overview_menus

  But why it happens on this page help & not with links on other pages?

  I think you have solved it - I just tried to add a link to this topic to another topic in the same subfolder & it works great. I'll so rename these files & see how I hear.

  Thanks a lot for your help!

• Error message when the chm file is opened and opening topics/links

  Hello

  I am a user of RoboHelp 10 and tried to generate HTML Help. When I try to open the chm file, you receive the following error message. When you click Yes or no to clear the error, it opens OK. The error message also appears WHEN you click a hyperlink in the project or open a topic.

  I use Windows 7 and have a computer laptop 64 bit.

  

  Of course as it seems!

• Fixing/3rd party, including files in one. CHM file

  Is there a way to fix/include. PDF. DOC. XLS. PPT, and. VOD files - in their native format - in one. CHM file? I would like to offer our installers to field with a single. CHM file that contains all the RoboHelp topics and files 3rd - party that they might need. RoboHelp topics contain hyperlinks to these files, which would then open the 3rd party files in a new window (in Word, in Adobe Reader, in Excel, etc.).
  
  I reached successfully the functionality described above for a PDF file by adding to the baggage files and insert a link to it in a topic - when I saw the topic in RoboHelp and click the hyperlink. However, if I generate HTML Help (.) CHM file), the hyperlink is trying to open a new window, but quickly displays a dialog box indicating, "Download cannot be completed." The only option is to click an OK button, which closes the dialog box.
  
  A. file CHM is the more desirable format, but I take it than any other single file output type to achieve this functionality. Convert these files in HTML format, and their import as new topics are not an option.
  
  I'm under X5.0.2 with RoboSource Control.

  Hi RoboFan,

  Yes, you can. Add files to your folder of luggage. But, as in everything, there is a catch. How associate you with the CHM files can be a problem and if I understand correctly, this will depend on the end-user system. You can get Word documents that open in a new instance of Word, prompt to save or open, or open in the CHM window. There are many ways to link to try to force one or the other, but I don't see the coherence between the file types.

  I would start by adding the file to luggage, then put in a direct link to the file. To see if it's a behavior that you want to test, and if not to search these forums for the specific file type, you have problems with. PDF files have always been unpredictable for me.

  Good luck

• How can I fix the link between adobe and windows if I see .pdf not win32 application

  How can I fix the link between adobe and windows if I see .pdf not win32 application, without the disc?

  "Adobe" is the name of the company that provides a great many different applications.

  Adobe Reader is free and allows you to view pdf files.

  Adobe Acrobat is expensive and allows you to create, edit and view pdf files.

  Assuming that you are referring to the reader, uninstall all the versions of it using the control panel > add or remove programs.  Then either

  1. go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO and download the current version (remember to uncheck the box to install McAfee Security Scan Plus.

  or

  2. go to http://www.foxitsoftware.com/Secure_PDF_Reader/ and download Foxit Reader, a small pdf reader and many more.

  Then, install the reader that you have downloaded.

• Included in unused files. CHM file

  Hello

  Please do someone can shine some light on why when I run using HTML Assistant ssl for a table of specific contents, every single image and the subject of my project file are included?

  Bottom line, it's that I need only some topics of my project file to build the help a.chm file which should be about 7 MB on the disk, but fate to 30 MB. I used a tool for compiling (FAR) to * which continues and it appears as all the images and other subjects of the project that is not necessary for the. Chm file are included. It's a real embarrassment, because it sure. Chm must be less than 10 MB.

  Thanks a lot in advance

  Greg

  It has always been the case that with WebHelp and CHMS that all topics are included in a version unless excluded by using a construction tag.

  In more recent versions, there is an option to exclude topics not referenced. If you select it will exclude any subject which is not in the table of contents or Index and does not all links of the other headings. The only way that subjects would find if this option was checked not to would be by a search.

  In your case the solution the cleaner would probably create a construction tag Exclude and then apply an expression of construction only includes topics not exclude tag.

  That is covered in the help online. Come if you need assistance.

• Hyperlink to the child CHM file

  Hello

  It is the first time that I use this community, so please forgive me if I'm not clear enough in the description of my problem.

  I work with one large project, where I imported other projects on (as chm files)

  

  I would like to make a link to the imported files, but the result is not impressive!

  I tried to do this in several ways.
  When I use the -button I can't find any link URL leading to my project.
  Then I tried using drag & drop in the project manager and a link appeared. When I click on it within HR it seems to work, but when I did the Microsoft HTML Help file it no longer works?

  Someone please tell me what's wrong?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello Helen and welcome to the forum.

  Your problem seems that you default your project Source presentation unique value other than Microsoft HTML Help. Go to your pod submission of single Source, right-click on the Microsoft HTML Help layout and select set as main page layout . The next time you link, you will see a remote subject option (see below). This allows to select CHM and choose the topic in this one.

  

• RH10 - WebHelp links to PDF files stop working when WebHelp is generated.

  RH10 - after generation to WebHelp links to PDF files do not work. If I saw the topic in HR, the file will open and display. HR project reports any broken links. If I have a link to the file again, the file will be imported in HR and overwrite the file that already exists.  If I do one generate and display in my office cannot find the files of a hyperlink.   If I do a primary mode, the files could not be found in FireFox. Had too many problems with IE10 so I stopped using it.

  I've never had this happen before with any version of RoboHelp. Please help me.

  Ahhhh, you did not say that it did not work once you have copied the files on the server. That's a horse of a very different hue!

  Okay, so if it's the WebHelp on the server, you have problems with, here's what to check.

  Are the files that you are linking to really there? They cannot be. What are the baggage files for. You may need to add the files that you link to the list of files so that they are between the release of baggage.

  If the files are there, the server can be a flavor of UNIX. In this case, you will need to check the naming conventions. If the file name is SomeFile.PdF, and your link says SOMEFILE. PDF (or another variant of case) links fails on a UNIX UNIX server being very picky about file names.

  See you soon... Rick
