RH9 - Can not create ANY links in linked Word documents ;-(

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 19 May 2011 01:59:26 GMT

Ok, this does not make sense:

- From RH9, create a fresh empty project

- Create two word files "Topic1.docx" and "Topic2.docx"

- Put "Link Here" in each document

- Save the documents

- From Project Manager, Project Files, link both documents, generate, update all, etc.

- Now create hyperlinks in each topic, pointing to the other topic using default topic editor in RH9

- Save All and Generate the WebHelp project and test the links are there and work.

- Now open and edit both word documents in word. Add some text to each and save

- In RH9 Project Manager, Project files, Update All and open the topics in RH9 default editor

Walla, the full text is there, the LINKS are gone. Actually, I understand that this is how it works, but the BIG problem is that links to bookmarks, other topics, links to outside resources created in RH9 Default Editor cannot be preserved when the related/linked document is edited in Word. AND, you cannot create ANY of these links in the Word documents. So, you have a help system that has really nice update features when an author makes a change to a document, but NO LINKS. Updating a linked document will DELETE ANY changes made within the RH9 Default Editor.

Does this make any sense? Has my brain fallen down? Is there another workflow option?

Thanks for any help

Hummmmm, NO POPUPs, mini TOCs or See Also Keywords, Link Controls, etc. etc. etc.

Printed Documentation Layout - Cannot link two TOC choices to one topic

RH9 - Printed Documentation Layout

I am trying to get two different TOC choices to link to the same single topic. It sort of works, but not really. I will try to explain.

TOC

Trucks > Brakes

Cars > Brakes

Where Brakes is one topic file

Note that this works fine generated using WebHelp Layout

In Printed documentation, the topic under Trucks is missing. Clicking on "Trucks" takes you to Brakes, but the option "Brakes" is not displayed.

Thanks for any help on this. Ho Ho Ho

Modifying DocBook XML Output?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 18:18:33 GMT

Howdy.,

I know very little about XML, so my questions may be a bit bewildering as my old friend Davy Crockett used to say.

I am wondering how to modify what Single Source XML spits out. As far as I understand at this point, it uses DocBook (not sure of version).

Looking for it to generate something like this:

<value><![CDATA[

Topic H1 Header

Topic contend would go here.

]]>

</value>

</data>

Thanks

Howdy.

I am starting to figure out the PDF stuff. When I select Review > Create PDF for Review, the "Send PDF for Shared Review" option is not available/greyed out.

Windows XP, RoboHelp9, Acrobat Reader X

Thanks for any help on this
