Hi again
Can you search across a set of chm files as you can across
FlashHelp topics/projects?
Ummm, I think you may be a bit confused about FlashHelp. You
can't currently merge FlashHelp output and search across multiple
projects. Not in the basic FlashHelp output. Now if you are using
RoboHelp 6 and creating FlashHelp
Pro output and publishing that to the RoboHelp Server (an
additional component at an additional charge) it's possible, but
not with the base output.
Printing from .CHM also is fraught with issues. This stems
from the fact that when you do it, a large concatenated temporary
file is created. During that process, the links to your style
sheets become munged and are unable to be found, resulting in less
than satisfactory print.
Because of this, I'd suggest following the PDF route. After
all, that's the selling point of PDF. It faithfully reproduces in
print what you intended. Then provide a link to the PDF for those
that choose to create printed output.
Cheers... Rick
