RoboHelp Word closes generation HTML Help after 2 MB of images

Hi, I'm evaluating RoboHelp for Word 8 for my business. I use the trial version of RoboHelp for Word 8. Building the content of files hep in the Word document I insert images by using the Insert-> picture-> Word file menu. After that I inserted about 2 MB of images RoboHelp crashes when I run the RoboHelps file-> generate main Layout for MS HtmlHelp, in the menu. The compiler output crashes just essentially by the following:

From compilation...

Compensation output folder...

From compilation...

I found the image on the border of the size limit and delete it and am able to generate the output. I can also replace it with a much smaller image and can generate the output.

This seems very strange to me, 2 MB is nothing. We mainly use a JPG image and two small GIFs. This could be just a problem with the trial version of RoboHelp 8 or maybe RoboHelp wants images inserted in Word in a different way?

Thank you, I appreciate any information you can provide me.

You missed my point. With RoboHelp HTML you do not have to import, you link and then create the CHM. The Word document can reside on the network and SMEs can change. When you build, RoboHelp prompts you to update the topics in the current version of the document.

Thus, you always have your Word documents available for others to update and you still have your CHMS.

Which version of Word you are using. In 2007, things RoboHelp seems to be in the Add-In Ribbon.

  • RoboHelp HTML crashes after emptying a project

    Hello

    I use Framemaker to do most of my creation and then import the files into RoboHelp HTML to generate HTML Help. As the first step of importing the files, I have to delete all the topics, table of contents entries and entries IX of the RoboHelp project. If I do this, I find myself with duplicates everywhere in the project.

    After the project I have empty and try to save it, HR goes belly up and I have to click through two sets of dialog boxes "Adobe Robohelp 7 has encountered a problem and needs to close." After you click 'Send error report' a dozen times, I wonder if there is anything I can do about this problem.

    Thank you
    John B.

    Hi all

    John, I couldn't help but notice that you said you are trying to delete ALL the content of the project. And here's where my instincts tell me the lies of the question.

    My thought is that you could take the following approach. Create a unique topic. One that will never exist in Framemaker. Only in RoboHelp. Then forget about this topic. Don't delete ever or something. Then, when you do your own out, I would take this approach.

    Clear the table of contents and Index. Does not matter the order in which you use. These first hunting just as you shoot. I say FLUSH these, because they depend on the content in the topics.
    Rinse the subjects. Hey, all, but the only subject which should remain.

    Here, my thought is that if you remove the entire system's RoboHelp goes belly up with no subject. And if you deleted the items first, RoboHelp can be gobs of updates gagging as she foolishly tries to follow all the sudden broken links to table of contents and Index items. That is why I proposed these as a first step.

    Please give it a go and let us know if it helps... Rick

  • Impossible to compile CHM - Message says to close all the Windows HTML help

    TCS 1.3 running with the latest patches.

    Single source project - out using HTML (.chm).

    When I try to compile, I get the following message is displayed:

    "Cannot create compiled file. It can be opened in another window. Please close all Windows HTML Help and try again. »

    I don't have any HTML Help windows open. Closing of HR and restart do not solve the problem. I have to shut down the computer, which is a serious concern, before I can compile again. I do not work in a network directory, which may be the cause, but I would like to know if there is a process that I can kill for Windows Task Manager that would allow me to compile without having to restart my computer. I don't see any process that identifies itself as something that I can kill for this problem.

    Anyone?

    Hello

    This message normally you launched the. CHM file you are trying to create. The first step in the process is to destroy the existing. CHM in preparation for the construction of a new. Just as you must destroy a House on a lot where you want to create a new.

    If your. CHM is on a network drive, another user may be subject to open. (yet another good reason to work locally)

    If your. CHM is on your local drive, RoboHelp believes that you have opened. If you press Alt + Tab, you see a blue arrow pointing upwards. Which indicates the CHM file running.

  • Image, Open/Close for "TOC book properties" (to CHM HTML Help)

    Hi all

    (1) where is the control to set the image of the book (e.g. book purple, yellow folder) for all books. I did this once before have forgotten since.

    The parameter - ' TOC book properties > advanced > Image'-does it for all the selected book.

    (2) is there a way that I can put to a Book TOC node to make it Open by default (showing its sub-nodes/books) on the execution of the CHM HTML Help?

    TIA

    -avi

    You can manage this by using a bunch of custom icon. File no tricks end of Rick Stone shows you how. For your second question, I believe that the only way to achieve this would be to have the default topic of the CHM file inside the book to open. You may also be able to achieve it by some form of Javascript that I can't help you with that. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone else will report it.

  • HTML Help controls

    Hello world!
    I used the functionality of HTML Help controls to add a button 'Close' to my pop up windows. In the generated output, however, the button does not close the window but the whole .chm file. I use bad this button? Any ideas? I'm still new to RoboHelp any advice would be appreciated. I'm using version 6 and just upgraded to 7, if that matters.

    Thank you!!!
    Wendy

    Hi WendyCh. Sorry for the brevity of my last answer. I was a little anxious. I had another look at things and decided that the best way to achieve your goal is not with HTML Help control. Instead, place the cursor where you want your button, go into Truecode tab and paste the following it:

    Then save, compile and test. Let us know how you go.

  • Rename HTML help projects

    This doesn't seem to be as easy as it sounds. I need to rename the CHM files for various projects (they are all merged together) without breaking anything. What I think I do, it's on the project tab, expand the unique Layouts of Source folder and open Microsoft HTML Help (main layout). When the dialog box opens, in the selection of output folder and the name of the file, I changed the name of "Current.chm" to "New.chm" file, and then click Finish.
    Then I would recompile the project and must recompile in the! SSL! folder as "New.chm". Then, I should be able to commit the new file CHM to SVN. What worries me is the project of RoboHelp HTML file (orange with a white question mark) which is what I usually double-click to open and work on my project. I remember that rename previously when I had to rename the series of projects once before, but I don't remember the exact sequence of events (and unfortunately, after reviewing my notes, I didn't save the procedure). Any advice would be appreciated. This project represents a lot of work and I don't want to goof it upwards (Yes, I could always go back to a previous version of SVN, but I also quickly would do it right the first time).

    Thank you.

    -Travel

    It's true. Double-click the project file opens the project complete HR with the SSL settings. So if you have changed the SSL, opening the project property will mean that the SSL properties will be as you changed the. Hope it makes sense. Obviously if you change the SSL settings to rename the CHM you can remove the old CHM files.

  • Problem converting HTML help printed documentation

    I have a help created using HTML Help file. When I am trying to generate a file .doc him my seems MS Word to be hanged. After ending the Riobohelp gives the following message "the Word VBA macro version registered is incorrect. Please reinstall printed Documentation.

    I checked that I have the version of Word 2000-SP-2.

    What else should I check before generating the printable help? Also, for the record, I don't have a printer physically attached to my computer.

    Despite the message, it can be as simple as reducing the level of security in Word. If that fixed it, look at Issues of impression on my site.

    Do not have a connected printer is not a problem, unless you want to print.

  • How to close the popup window after executing PL/SQL?

    Hello

    To see a junior question: we use APEX 5.0.2

    On a page of the modal dialog (of an interactive report), for the button create, I created a dynamic action that runs the specific code from PL/SQL to insert a new item.  Then behind the insert clause, I have the code to close the pop-up window, so that it executes successfully the insert clause without closing the window.  Please let me know what I can do.  Thank you.

    HTP.p ("< script > '");

    HTP.p ('window.opener.Location.Reload ();) Window.Close ();') ;

    HTP.p ("< /script >" ");

    Kind regards

    Jian

    OK, thanks for all your help and ideas. Finally, I gave up running JavaScript, instead, I created another dynamic action that closes the dialog box with a later sequence (for example, it runs after the PL/SQL code).  Now, it closes the windows properly after running pl/sql clause.  Although I still wonder how to run JavaScript because it doesn't do anything, even when I create a process to run javascript directly.

  • HTML Help Home button - how to change the content

    I use Robohelp 11 and we post our content as microsoft HTML help.  I wonder how to change the content of the button the top of the page next to the front buttons and back at home.  Since it's HTML Help I can't use a skin to change the buttons, but I need to change what is displayed when you click the home button.  I can't find how to change when the button links to.  I just want to link to our home page.

    Thank you!

    Matthew

    Hello

    On luck outside, that you are not really wanting to address the 'skin in a CHM' quite yet, try this.

    First, note the path and the name of the file that you want to appear when the user clicks on the Home link.

    Open the pod of setting up a project. (View > pods > project configuration)

    Expand Windows, and then double-click the CHM window. (If you do not see a CHM window, you will need to create a)

    In the Properties window, click the Advanced Properties button.

    And from the Advanced Properties dialog box, you type (Yes, you heard that right, TYPE) the path and the name of the file you want. (Remember this first step?) Note that you can also type a URL pointing to a website here.

    Hope this helps... Rick

  • The search feature no longer works in any of my projects generated HTML help recently

    I use 10.0.1.292 HR and HR 11.0.4.291 for different projects.


    Recently, I noticed that the search feature returns no result, in one of my projects that are generated in either Rh10 or 11. I just get the message 'no topics found. It's used to work.


    The only thing that was made recently (that I can think of) involved working with the .slp files to fix a problem with the glossary tab and the search functionality in a HR 11 Responsive HTML5 layout. (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1690579) I, however, do not see how this would break the search functionality in my HTML projects.


    Any ideas?

    In both 10 and 11, HR whenever I generated a project like HTML Help (still an example of project) the search functionality was broken. Finally, when I couldn't think what else to try, I uninstalled and reinstalled 10 HR, and that solved my problem - HR 10 and 11!

    Apparently some file has been corrupted, but I don't know what broke or what caused the corruption. I'm still trying to get clarification from Adobe, but so far, I only received the following comments:

    • The robohelp cache folder and preferences may have caused this.
    • The problem can be either with updates on the system.

    If I should receive any definitive information, I will update this post.

    Thank you.

  • Chrome opening HTML help

    Adope told me that using generated HTML RH9 is fully compatible with the Google Chrome browser, yet internally are not able to open my last help in Chrome files. Someone at - he had problems with Chrome they were able to fix?

    Thank you

    Jim

    As long as you mean webhelp when you say HTML help, it is compatible with Chrome. The problem is that it only works in Chrome, provided that it is on a webserver instead be installed on a local drive. Webhelp is intended to be on a Web server which is not unreasonable.

    You can operate webhelp locally in a way that can be acceptable internally. That will be a question for your IT people to rule. See previews on my site. Obviously, as you are without going by what Google thinks is the protection of security, it is at your own risk.
