RoboHelp 2015 excludes all conditionalized content when generating CHM with RHCL

Hello

I have a problem with the generation CHM via the command prompt. As the title of the topic, when I generate a CHM with RHCL.exe, all the subjects/text that have conditional tags applied do not appear in the output. The problem only occurs with the command-line RoboHelp and generation of CHM by GUI works fine. I also tried to do the same thing with an example project and the problem has persisted. So it seems that RHCL removes everything simply everything conditionalized, independently of the set of conditional compilation expressions.

I use Windows 8.1 and Robohelp 2015. Before, I had 10 Robohelp and never had such a problem with it.

I currently have, as a workaround solution generate CHM files manually, which is very annoying, because the generation of CHM is only a small part of our automated doc publication process.

For me, it looks like an obvious bug. Anyone else faced this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Update:

Research on the fourms led me to this subject, which apparently has the same cause: . Help CHM compiled using RHCL differs from the same assistance compiled using RoboHelp GUI

However, the solution it is not applicable in my case. I have also seen that it has been a subject problem, is there any progress on this?

The bug has been fixed in update 2. Thank you.

  • RoboHelp 9, not all the files to generate for FlashHelp

    I'm generating a FlahHelp layout in RoboHelp 9. I have business for commercial insurance lines in my documentation.

  • RoboHelp 2015 - batch generate with conditional compilation tags broken?

    Hello everyone.

    My company has recently upgraded to Technical Communication Suite 2015 and today we try to generate online help for the first time with RoboHelp 2015. We have been batch generating (rhcl.exe) for about a year with no problems... and today I have problems in conditional tag of major works. I'll try to be as detailed as possible, in the hope that the community can tell me if I'm doing something wrong.

    System: RoboHelp 2015 on Windows 7 64 bit. WebHelp layout. Upgraded project of HR 11 a week ago.


    Setting up a project

    In most of the topics, we have a 'See also' section at the end, with a few links. This section is tagged with the 'Online' CBT (so that we can exclude the PDF output).

    There are 4-5 CBT by module.

    My conditional compilation expression is: NOT print AND NO risk AND NO WIP. The expression is named Test. This conditional compilation expression is stored in a WebHelp SSL called VALUE. The 'Online' tag appears correctly under tags available and it is certainly not excluded.

    The problem

    I use the following command;

    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 2015\RoboHTML\rhcl.exe ' 'D:\technical_documentation\my_project\my_project.xpj'-l 'Test' o 'D:\help_builds\my_master\mergedProjects\my_project '.

    In the output, all the content that is tagged with Online is not visible, even if the tag was not excluded!

    I tried a few other scenarios and the results are even more confusing to me. I scored some random text with some other tags ('link', 'afds' and 'value') - labeled content 'link' and 'afds' is not visible, but the content labeled 'Value' is... Although none of these tags have been excluded!

    If I generate RoboHelp, not with the lot, everything works fine, without changes in the SSL settings.

    Am I right in thinking this is a new bug? Perhaps rhcl.exe support incorrectly the improvements in tag conditional compilation in HR 2015? I will record a bug if this is the case, but I would like some opinions firstly thank you!

    Adobe have studied this problem and managed to reproduce it.

    I suggest that report you it as a bug so that Adobe can contact you if they need more information.

  • Window display OpenExr playback Options for all files when generating thumbnails

    I use Bridge CC 6.2.0.179 x 64. I work a lot with the OpenExr files. All of a sudden bridge appears this little window of playback options (regarding the Alpha channel) for all OpenExr files when generating thumbnails, which pretty much makes bridge unusable when you enter a folder with many pictures. Is there a way to disable this option? I've never known this behavior before, so it seems to me that it was introduced with a recent update. Any help on this is much appreciated. Google did not until now, anything useful.

    Hello

    We published a new version of Adobe Bridge (CC 2015) on July 19, 2016. This update is available via the Adobe Creative Cloud application.

    We addressed the issue of "Open EXR reading Options Window" in this version. Please try the new version and check the number you have met.

    If you are not able to locate the bridge (CC 2015) on the creative cloud application, you will need to update application creative cloud and restart the machine.

  • RoboHelp 2015 multiple authors can not access to each of the other changes

    As one of our authors RHelp update an existing topic - cash, change then check-in and all is good, because these changes are visible from the Explorer RoboSource customer as well as the history and other users/authors can see the changes made by no other author via RH2015.

    However, when author X creates a new topic and check it into Version control, there are no errors on the checkin, BUT author there can see the original newly page created and not all changes that no other author has created. Author can make their own changes, but only the person doing the updates can see their updates and no changes made by someone else. When you view the DB/project of the Explorer RoboSource Control 3.1 Client connected to the actual machine where RoboSource Control Server is installed, only the original copy of the new topic/Page is visible without antecedent change made by an author.

    • The subjects/page works as expected. (checkout, mark edits, consignment) all the updates and history are also expected and visible by all authors through RH2015. AND through RSC customer 3.1 Explorer on the RSC server machine.

    • New topic/page created - for which there are changes only the person who has checked these changes may see these changes through RH2015 and not archived by other changes. More by using their local copy of the RSC customer Explorer him only see the current and history for their own evolution.  However, if you use RSC 3.1 customer Explorer of the real source server computer control there is no history of visible changes and shows only the initial report charge/checked in the new page.

    Any thoughts on the areas to review?  Have checked the properties of file on the new issues and they look like to the files (topics) that work as expected. RoboSource control 3.1 all users have the same rights as the account admin. full access.

    Today, our problem was solved!

    Applied last 3 updates for RoboHelp 2015 and applied a fix for known problems with check in and check out files on a 64-bit machine. Fix can be found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/kb/cant-check-files-robosource-control.html

  • Why the subjects in my project RoboHelp disappear after update to RoboHelp 2015?

    After the upgrade to a RoboHelp 10 to RoboHelp 2015 project, all the themes of the project are deleted when the subjects are then updated. The project is a document linked FrameMaker - updates as planned, but when I update the headings, one of two things occurs:

    1. Links are broken and all the topics appear in the 'Broken links' folder, or
    2. All subjects simply disappear.

    (Running Adobe Tech Comm Suite 2015 on Windows 7, 64-bit; RoboHelp being updated to v12.0.2.384; FrameMaker, set updated to v 13.0.2.433.)

    I had a few successful update of the subjects if I update separately each 'chapter' in the book, but if I use the option "update all the ', the results are as shown above. And, as you can see, the results are not compatible. This happened with two projects that I have converted in 2015 of RoboHelp.

    I find no information about it in the forums. Screenshot below is included to show the effect of ' update all ' in a project.

    I appreciate any assistance with this annoying quirk!

    RH 2015 update issue.jpg

    Hello

    I tried your steps exactly but it works very well at my end.

    Try this: in the project folder there is a file named .cpd, delete this file and re - open the project in RoboHelp and then update the book connected to FM.

    Try it and tell me if it solves this problem.

  • Table of contents are not present in CHM output generated with Robohelp 2015

    Hello. When I generate CHM output HR 2015, the table of contents are missing, but the search and glossary tabs are present. I won't open the file from a server, but from my desk. I copied from the server on my desktop and renamed it. The file has been created, I believe, RH 9, but I generated successfully exit CHM with this file in HR 10. Any ideas? Thank you!

    Dawn

    If I were in your shoes, the next thing I would try is to open the pod output configuration. Define a new CHM window there. So be sure to choose this new window in your presentation of single Source recipe.

    See you soon... Rick

  • RoboHelp 2015 (12.0.2.384): The search returns topics do not are included in the table of contents

    ENVIRONMENT: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, 8.00 GB of RAM, 64 - bit OS, Office 2010, Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Acrobat Reader DC 2015.017.20050

    DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:

    • A single RoboHelp HTML project with three exits. One of the outputs is a 'validation' reference that has its own Table of contents.
    • Validation reference Table of contents contains a subset of the subjects in the main help system. For example, the help system main table of contents contains a folder named 'Administration '. This folder is not in the table of contents of reference for Validation.
    • The reference of Validation is displayed on a public web site. Therefore, we applied the tag "Non_public_info" contained in the topics shared that we do not want to appear on the public website.
    • WebHelp parameters are:
      • Validation reference TOC
      • No map file, no sequence to browse
      • Conditional compilation expression: NOT_Non_public_info_AND_NOT_StyleGuidelines_AND_NOT_TRP (we keep our Style rules in the project to facilitate access during development. TRP content must be rejected because it was not released.)
      • Exclude non referenced topics of output is selected.
      • Search options. Only 'Show Total number of search results' and 'View AND search Option in outputs' are selected.
    • After generating the WebHelp, we remove the files that we don't want (RoboHelp generates empty folders, even if the files are not in the table of contents.)

    PROBLEM: A search in the help of Validation reference reveals the topics that we think should not be included because the subjects themselves are not in the table of contents of Validation reference. For example, the section "Data quality analysis" is in the main table of contents help, but not in the table of contents of reference for Validation. Therefore, we do not expect the topic appears in the search results pane at all. But he does. When the user clicks on the subject, the "Resource not found" message appears.

    Nothing shows the topic Style_Guidelines because the StyleGuidelines label conditional construction applies to the entire folder and the "Style guidelines" book in the main table of contents. (Same thing for the TRP folder).

    QUESTION: Why are topics which are not in the table of contents and whose records are not in the project at all appearing in the WebHelp during a search? We need to rewrite the expression of conditional compilation or establish conditions differently. We assume not have topics in the table of contents, not including the topics not referenced in the output, and remove empty folders would be the way to go. Any help is welcome!

    Thank you very much.

    Carol Levie

    The table of contents does not control what ends up in the output for output online. All content tagged and tagged content which is not excluded by the expression of construction will be included. The parameter 'Exclude topics not referenced output' more exclude all subjects which are not in the table of contents AND are not related to any topic which is included in the output.

    On the other hand, for the print output the table of contents control which is found in the output. I think that it will fire a lot of people.

    If you generate the help and that you do not remove the unwanted files, do you still have the error? If this isn't the case, you know that the topic is referenced somewhere in the content of the reference of the Validation.

    Here is the help of RH11. I can't imagine it would have changed, but you could do a search to verify a second time for RH2015.

    Exclude output not referenced topics

    Select this option to exclude any topic that exists in the project, but is not the default theme in page layout or is not referenced table of selected contents, index or sequence to browse, or any referenced subject.

    Note: RoboHelp shows the topics not referenced that are excluded from the output in the output view module.

  • RoboHelp 2015 WebHelp output - does not display the previous content after HR 2015 update

    I have a client who created their WebHelp with the original version of HR 2015. The project file has been updated by someone who had already updated their HR 2015... not sure that this day they used. Updated 2 or 3 because it is a recent event. The result was that only new images have been published. Images of previous content - created before the update of HR 2015, no longer displayed images. At the time where the customer still has a computer with the original version of HR 2015 on this it's help. However, we do our best to solve this problem. They would like all their HR 2015 was updated to the latest version.

    Customer has also tried to generate a Word from the HR file document, however, new content has been included and the images of the old content includes incoherently. When the same file is opened in RoboHelp, you can see all the images in the content of the old and the new.

    Someone attempted to open the project file in a later version of HR and the files seem to be corrupted. This is all the information I have at the moment. I hope you all have a few ideas so that when I meet with them tomorrow I'll be able to look for problems that may arise.

    Thank you all.

    Once I got the actual files of the client, I was able to solve the problem by importing the old files to extract pod.

    Here are the steps I gave the client after you have imported the Snippet pod files successfully:

    Here are the steps to import the files:

    1. Go to the nacelle of the code snippet and click Import.
    2. You can select the hts files that are missing from the files in your project.
  • 10 of RoboHelp to crash when generating a CHM

    I use Robohelp 10.0.1.292 on a Windows 7 64-bit with 4 GB of RAM. I have a Robohelp project with 1 969 topics where I have built three successful exits of WebHelp, but when I generate a CHM file using the same conditional tags as one of the outputs WebHelp, Robohelp constantly crashes on the same subject and produced two events of crash in my Windows event log:

    I restarted my PC and rebooted Robohelp, then aand a conditional tag to exclude the subject of construction and managed to successfully generate the CHM file. I disabled the conditional and tried the following strategies involving all the same two sequential Robohelp falls:

    • Delete the PCD file
    • Delete the topic of the project and recreate it
    • Remove all links to and from this topic
    • Remove the topic from the table of contents
    • Disable conditional expressions
    • Delete the sequence to browse
    • Delete the index
    • Change the path to the CHM file to one that is outside the project
    • Shorten the output path to the CHM file to not have spaces


    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Alan

    That does not surprise me. What seems strange, is that say you that again, the incident occurs if you delete all the content in the topic. Certainly, which seems to indicate that something is perhaps ladle with the name of the file.

    I'd be tempted to try a slight variation on the name of the file and see if it works. Also, try a variation on the title of the topic.

    See you soon... Rick

  • Why RoboHelp does not display the contents of the data required of <>.chm when combined as aid in my application?

    Beautiful Hello all,
    Met someone said below show-stopper. Another GREAT MOMENT help required, will help me in a big way.
    Using Adobe RoboHelp, Version 10 and IE version 10.
    I n my local machine:
    1.) I finished my Design editor courtesy of technical writing
    2) generating chm file: display -> pods -> Single Source Layouts -> right click on Microsoft HTML Help -> Tagged defined as primary layout
    3) primary production layout: file -> create -> layout main page (Microsoft HTML Help)...
    4) look at a main Layout: file -> display -> main layout
    Everything works ODDLY far with the desired output (like Hide, back, refresh, home, Print, Options, content, Index, search, glossary and data content)

    Show stop, in my application server:

    5.), I copy the robohelp project any folder my local machine to my path of the application server

    6 .) My Application was developed in ASP .NET, Version 4.0.

    Linkhelp 7) has been created in this application in which here <>.chm file name has been linked in the code to read of the project RoboHelp Server folder------! SSL! ------ Microsoft_HTML_Help\

    8.), I connect to my application says-> click on the help page--> displays the required structure / keys as hide, back, refresh, home, Print, Options, content, Index, search, glossary

    (a.) by clicking on on the books or the topics listed under Cmaterial : you are prompted to with error message warning called " Navigation to the webpage was canceled. "What you can try: Retype the address "

    * This is a huge SHOW-STOPPER. I spent many hours on this subject, but unable to deciper with a solution at all) *

    (Note: am able to open and read the contents of the data required by clicking on the books or the topics listed under Cmaterials project RoboHelp Server folder------!) SSL! (- Microsoft_HTML_Help\ <>.chm)

    Why is the required data from the <>.chm content not displayed RoboHelp when combined as a help in my application?

    Cheese - Vipin ndoye

    If you looked at the error message and searched the forum, you will find the answer, since it is a problem that began in 2005. You must run no CHM files from a server and can not without editing the registry of users. See the next page.

    Throughout your questions were based on webhelp, why all of a sudden we're going CHMS.

  • RoboHelp 2015: Several output types that are not available when you open the project created with RH9

    I recently upgraded from RoboHelp 9 in RoboHelp 2015, and I have installed all updates. I use WebHelp output for most of my projects. I would like to use the new features of HR 2015, specifically the release of HTML5 sensitive; However, when I open a project created with RH9, this type of output is not available. This type of output, and many others is not listed as options can I choose from eBook including HTML5 Multiscreen, and others. I tried to create a new project with HR 2015, and import my RH9 project files, but the sensitive HTML5 output and others remained unavailable. Are there settings I can change into my existing project or HR 2015 in order to use these features and new types of output? Recreate all the subjects in HR 2015 seems to be a very undesirable solution.

    Operating system: Windows 7, 64 bit

    Right click on the pod output and select new.  All options will be listed.
