RoboHelp X5.0.2 9.0.1 project conversion - generate a main layout does not do anything

Our company uses RoboHelp X5.0.2 for many years and I'm quite familiar with it. We are considering the upgrade to version 9.0.1 soon so I assess the 30 day trial.

My old projects all the loading fine in version 9.0.1 and the GUI is quite familiar to me. However, when I select ' generate primary Layout ', nothing happens! Normally in X5.0.2 in the output window, I see something like this:

Created c:\My Documents\HelpFiles\MVMControl3\MVMControl3\! SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\MVMControl3.chm, 41 916 bytes

Compression file down to 93 198 bytes.

Finished compiling HTMLHELP in 4 seconds

Compilation is complete.

But I don't see anything in the 9.0.1 release window.

If I generate a lot I see:

Lot generating the 'MMEA Layout' layout...

Lot generating the layout "normal page layout...

Lot generating the layout 'WebHelp '...

etc... but I see no output file-, I don't see any new CHM file anywhere on my hard drive.

The trial version does not CHM files? Or y at - it something different I have to do? The output window does not seem very useful in version 9.0.1, so I'm at a loss to understand what prevents it to create any output. Y at - it everywhere else, I can't check in the application to see what prevents the generated output?

Hello and welcome to the forums.

It seems that WebHelp has been set as your "primary" layout The solution is to change your main layout of "Microsoft HTML Help". You do this by clicking with the right button on the Microsoft HTML Help list in the presentation of single Source module and select 'set as primary Layout.

The first time that you generate, you will want to double click on the list of Microsoft HTML Help page layout, and then select preferences no matter what you have in the screens that are present. Then click on save and produce. Once you are satisfied with your results, you can then use the main toolbar to "Generate Layout."

Let us know if that helps.

  • All locations of the project window are white - label color does not

    All locations in the project window are white! No color - not default same mango. Does not meet the new colors. The timeline is colorful. (Mac 8 core Pro Tour, Nvida 680 GFX, 16 G of ram etc..) I see nowhere else.

    DOH!

    The label box was not checked in the options of meta data. Now I feel stupid.

    However - Adobe - why make a separate column of the label? -Why don't you just give us the option instead, or more, to paint the tray of mango by default. I like mangos but not all the time.

  • CC2015 - this is fixed? -Management of project including SD close Captioned files does not work

    All the world and Adobe.

    in reference to a discussion earlier, Re: project management, including close captioned files SD does not, this correction in CC2015?

    " Clip of once an element has been imported and identified as a "bearer of legend" , body does not forget that this specific clip, legend preference checked or not. ' - 29 January 2015 10:05

    How is it that PP maintains the captioning information, even if more Adobe Cloud was striped a system and then reinstalled fresh? -not the OS, just all the Adobe products.

    We have a HUGE problem where a producer/editor brought about 1 TB of SD video (subtitled TV unionized) and is now unable to do anything with any of these files, because it cannot project manage its promotions up to a reasonable size for further finishing because some how PP recalls a life that these files have subtitles.

    Once this system has wiped free of Adobe and reinstalled FRESH, the preference has been changed to NOT IMPORT legends. However, when we bring in a file which was imported earlier (before deletion), see PP of captioning.

    Where this information on the Mac? There must be place somewhere in the bowels of the BONE that is home to the UUID for every file... What's so we can blow this kind of thing and move on?

    Of course knowing that this has been fixed in CC2015 will be comforting and should accelerate the upgrade to 2015.

    If it was not treated, I guess we stay Final Cut for a little longer.

    (the name change solution is not a viable option at this time because of an entire Department that also uses these same clips for various projects)

    Thank you!

    I'm sorry that you're having trouble getting the legend carrying files to not be recognized by the app. Here are two solutions:

    RENAME THE FILE

    One quick thing you can do is to rename the file that carries the legends, and with recognition of legend turned off, then no subtitle will be analyzed in the file renamed when importing

    LAUNCH THE MEDIA CACHE FILE
    I know that another solution is to launch the media cache file.  It is located on the default VICTORY in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache files on MAC by is located by default in the Users\\Libraray\Application Support\Adobe\ Common\ Media Cache files directory... There should be a .prmdc file associated with the project, close the project, .prmdc delete associated with the project. This will also eliminate recognition of the caption, if the pref is turns off

    Let me know how it goes!

  • First Pro CC does not create a new sequence with a new project

    I'm sure I must be missing something, but when I create a new project in first Pro CC, it does not automatically create a new sequence.

    In CS6, create a new project would cause a list of sequence presets, and then create a sequence is empty for you.

    In CC, once you have created a project, you end up looking at an empty timeline.  You then go to the file, new, sequence and it do.

    Looks like a strange step to include, no?

    Is there a setting that I have not found so made CC to create new projects with a sequence like CS6?

    Yes, as Jim mentioned, there are other ways to create a sequence.  For example, simply import your video footage and then with a clip selected, choose file > New > sequence of the Clip.  Or in the project Panel, drag an item to a new item icon.  Much easier create the sequence of way, rather than by reading all the parameters in the dialog box new sequence and try to understand which attributes correspond to the media they work with.

    I ran a search / replacement just to locate the help files where the word "codec" appeared.  I just clicked on search for anything and did not specify what it is to ' replace by '.

    He found two files.  I closed the Find dialog box and replace Options, but the results window remains open.  It is located on my second monitor, and the upper part of the window is off the screen so I can't click on a close button in the title bar - if there is one.

  • Automatic resizing of the pop-ups of sizing does not correctly after you convert the project RH9 RH10 until.  Any ideas?

    We went just at RH10 (upgrade came with the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4 upgrade).  We have successfully converted four projects that had come from RH9 to RH10.  I think my only problem is that all my popups that have been configured to open it in the topic as "display in the sizing Auto popup" are open as if they were under "default page" (see image map screen below):

    Popups_Not_Autosizing_RH10.gif

    We run IE9 and Windows 7 ops system browser.  These pop-up windows worked well and is size so that we can click out of them and go back to the main topic before we converted the project.  ANY IDEAS?

    P.S. I tried already to remove the option of automatic resizing of popup display, then by saving the topic, then change back and nothing happened.  I do not change my css or the master page that popups were assigned and that worked before the conversion.

    Thank you!!  I wonder if I'll have to redo any mapping of the image to each of the popups in order to get the autosizing popups to work.  Please notify.

    Post edited by: DNCopeland I discovered another employee who has already climbed to the RH10 could open the same project and see the pop-ups that open as automatically resized for her, not as a page by default the entire window because they are for me.

    Sorry to barge here, but I wanted to pass along my experience with this bug.

    I found this automatic resizing (or custom also) pop-ups in image maps have been works well in Rh9 and broken in Rh10 in the Topic Previewer (glasses icon) BUT NOT in the real WebHelp output.

    Yes, DHCopeland, are statement that you see in the viewer section, or have tried to generate and display in actual production?

    I always test if there is no improvement after installing 10.0.1 HR patch. So far, it seems that the patch does not address this bug. I'll try another machine.

  • Publication of RoboHElp Server 9 with RH 9 does not update the webhelp pro toolbar

    When we opened the file published from this URL:

    The toolbar (where the table of contents, indexes etc. icons are displayed) comes from another project:

    The toolbar that should display is this (large green and grey icons):

    Why the server displays the whkin_tbars.htm of another project?

    Really weird.

    We tried to restart the server as indicated by Adobe technical support when I contacted them. It worked once, but do we need to restart the server whenever we want to publish?

    Thank you

    Probably the same does not if you view the generated location assistance. What happens if you start using the server or the administrator of the Web?

    I always suggest people manually remove all the files in the location of the server domain before they publish their results. The publishing process is unlike the process to generate. This is actually just a copy a leaves all kind of junk files behind the previous publication. By posting to a 'clean' place, you know that the content is good.

    Alternatively, you can delete the cache of your browser. This has been known to cause confusion by displaying a cached file (and so old). Let us know how you go.

  • Air does not help a valid option for some projects?

    I opened the project that we use as the 'parent' and was able to change the Air outlet, no problem. But when I try to open the other projects that we use as a 'child' projects, it does not allow us to select Air. Even, the option does not display in the output dropdown.

    Is there a setting to be changed? My understanding is that Air can-do merged help projects and makes them in the same way as our existing format, Webhelp.

  • Compiled CHM file does not reflect the name of the new project

    I have read many responses of experts to positions and have found them extremely useful is. However, I have not seen one that solves my problem.

    I have the HTML HR RH8 Version. I renamed a project through 1) file - rename project and 2) Single Source Layouts - main Layout - Properties - output folder and file name.

    Two problems are: 1) the name of the project file still reflects the old name of project and 2) the CHM file still reflects the old name of the project.

    Therefore, the output help the user displays a still the former name of the project in the title bar.

    Generated files like the RoboHelpHTML project file have been changed for the new name of the project, just like RENAME the PROJECTS using says it should. However, the CHM file does not reflect the new name of the project as it says it should.

    (1) can I change the name of the folder created when I compiled the help by exact name file?

    (2) can I change the FILE name in the window SELECT OUTPUT FOLDER AND FILE name?

    (3) I can / should I rename the names of table of contents and Index of the old project name for the new name of the project? (Help says changing the project name does not change these file names and he didn't.)

    None of these measures will correct the problem? I appreciate any help you can give.

    Welcome to our community

    Try file > project settings.

    And if that fails, try the pod project configuration, windows and change the caption of the window.

    See you soon... Rick

  • Project does not open

    I use RH8 HTML.  Trying to open a project, I am working in practically every day (about 90 MG compiled), all of a sudden the project will not open; the topics appear in the topics list, but the main screen is blank and I get a constant hourglass that sometimes stops and gives me a slider, but only for a few seconds.  He becomes a hourglass and doesn't let me do anything.  RoboHelp opens very well, and I can open the other projects.  Everything I have done differently was to go out of town for 3 days; would it be crazy? In versions previous, I had similar problems and I had open the HHP file (I think), thus losing my OCD.  This project has 2 000 issues; rebuild the table of contents to hand just isn't acceptable workaround.  The software was for about 30 minutes while I'm typing this and no sign of opening.  Any idea that this cause unexpectedly?

    Hi, Jeff.

    I would like to begin by ensuring that you have all updates installed RH8. Then rename the DPC project file and open the project. If this does not work, see this link.

  • Projects of WebHelp Pro merged in RH8 - options of CSH does not

    HI -.

    We strive to improve in RH8 RH7. Currently, we have several contextual WebHelp Pro projects that are merged on the RH7 Pro Server. To do this, we simply select the checkbox "merge projects" in the administration tool. (Nothing is done in the client of RoboHelp w/respect to fusion, as should be done with no Pro projects.)

    The main project is the master in virtue being quoted first in the Web administrator. The order of the remaining projects sets their order in the merged help TOC. The main project specifies two appointed custom windows and a custom look. In WebHelp Pro options for the child projects, we put the default = skin and the default window = None.

    The implementation of aid is contextual card IDs. Some have older context strings, defined in .ppf file their respective projects. Everything works as expected in RH7. When a map what ID is called from one of our applications, the individual help topic inherits the project master custom window and the skin. The topic with the ID string or specified mapping context appears in the right pane of the custom management scheme. The table of contents lists the subjects of all merged projects. We used the RoboHelp_CSH.js provided by RoboHelp in the design of this help system. The call looks like this:

    < a
    href = "javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0,'___http://___<ServerURL>/roboapi.asp>MyHelpWindow',HH_HELP_CONTEXT,'5108')" > help < /a >

    We do not specify a project name and the server is happy (still solve the card ID). RH8, we created the same things on the server. However, the "child" projects are not inherit the 'look' (window/skin) defined in the main project. Either the ID card is not resolve. We have also a window simple glazing defined in the main project for help pop ups, who now insists on appearing with other custom frameset of the window (buttons, TOC bar) and topic pane. We changed nothing, other than customer RH8 RH7 project import. The server 'merge' is checked. The call using RH8 had to change and so far looks like this:

    < a href = http:// < ServerURI > / < frame > / server? sector = Area_51 & ctxid = 5108 & wnd = MyHelpWindow > help < /a >

    Note that we have not addressed by using the Robohelp_CSH.js file that is packaged with RH8 yet. Let's first, i.e. ensure that server is running correctly and we have devined the new syntax of the parameter correctly. The question is, what must change for our request for aid work in RH8? The above specified link displays the correct set of HTML frames, but the topic pane is empty/Virgin. If we start on wnd = MyHelpWindow, we get the good topic, but it apears in the window of the default browser of the user, with no table of contents. In addition, if we target the simple window glass I mentioned above, it appears in the expected size and the location defined in the main project, but it's multiple tiles (once again, with an empty topic pane).

    Here is an observation. We found that in the Admin Web of RH7, selection of the main project and clicking View project show default theme of mastery in the custom frameset. Do the same for some children projects, they display their default theme in a simple window (without frames). In RH8, many child projects would display the default RoboHelp frameset and a 404 error in the topic pane. By carefully investigate parameters NewWindow of child projects, we found that RH8 is particularly sensitive if these parameters are nothing else than to have 'A part' and 'Use default browser settings' selected.

    Anyone know why this still does not work? Any help appreciated.

    I have the same problem. I just want to go straight to the help file that calls the context ID.
