RoboHelp 9 html, Images with frames are underlined

Sep 20, 2012 6:50 AM

Tags: #image #html #robohelp_9

Hello all,

 

When I generate an RH html project for an FrameMaker document, all images that had an arrow or circle "added" to them in FM, are followed by a line in RoboHelp. See the screenshot below for illustration. When I remove the frames, no line is shown in RH. I guess there must be a setting that reacts to frames in that specific way - does anyone know where exactly this can be fixed?

 

Thank you.

    First off, this post should be over in the FM Integration thread. All graphics in FM need to be in an anchored frame to successfully make the transition to RH. Are all your callouts and arrows within 1 anchored frame?

    Are you saying I should repost it there and delete in this thread?

     

    Yes, all of my graphics are anchored frames and the callouts and arrows are located within the respective frames.

    no that just creates clutter - a moderator will probably end up moving it for you.

     

    I wasn't sure what I was looking at with your screenshot - is it the resulting RH topic? Maybe you need to show the FM source so we can all see what you're talking about.

    The screeshot is the resulting RH topic. You mean to post the screenshot of the FM source or send the source file?  :-)

    Here's what I have in the source Frame document (FM10):

    Fm_source_image.png

     

    And that's what I get when the RH project is generated (not just with one image but throughout the book):

    Thanks!

    Ok, now I'm seeing it - there was so much stuff going on in the first post that I couldn't figure what was the problem. What happens if you have just a plain anchored frame with a graphic in it (no call-outs, arrows, etc.)? Does it come across with the horizontal line added into RH? If not, then you know that it's something to do with multiple objects inside an anchored frame; if so, then it's something to do with the way RH is converting the FM source. We'd need to see you conversion settings then.

     

    Have you taken a look at the HTML for that line on the page? Maybe it's triggered by something in the CSS.

    I checked my image conversion settings - the Use Distiller to Generate Image option was selected (it's always been). I deselected it and updated the project and the lines were gone. No, like this: the lines were gone!

    Good to hear that - I wasn't seeing it in any of my imports (but I don't have any call-outs, etc. in mine)
