RH8 - Can you set a Style Sheet for Images?

[Guest]

Wondering if there is a way to set a style sheet for images in RoboHelp8.

It is tedious to go through and size, margin, border every image I use - I want them to have consistent sizes.

Hi there

With RoboHelp 8 you have scripting available. I don't have it open at the moment, but I believe one of the included scripts allows this. You might wish to investigate by clicking View > Pods > Script Explorer. In the list of Sample Scripts you should find should be a script named Image Resizer.jsx.

I believe you may edit this script to configure the size of your images as you desire.

Personally, I'd never do that because you will likely discover the quality of the images will suffer as a result. But to each his/her own! Maybe you will be happy with the outcome.

Cheers... Rick

The resizer script is not in the released product as the logic was a bit iffy. It resized all images in the project to one size!

However, you can find a script in this thread. http://forums.adobe.com/message/2364220

Do read the thread first and take a backup of your project before you run the script.

The way I read the thread the script removes all size settings so the image displays at 100%. If that is what you want, then it should be OK but I have not tried it so proceed with caution, in other words, only after backing up.

It also indicates that a size can be set but I guess that would be one size for all.

Thanks!  That's scary.  I think I'll skip running that right now as I'm on a

deadline!

On a second read, the script as is removes the size settings. The ability to set the images to a specific size is something that apparently could be added. However, I see no value in that unless you can select the image(s) to which the size settings apply.

You could try it on a copy of your project.
