How can users of WebHelp print out help chapters or generate PDFs?

Report · Jan 21, 2014

More and more users of our WebHelp would like to print out help chapters or generate PDFs.

Does anyone know if this is possible with RoboHelp10?

I know that this function is available in Microsoft HTML Help...

Thanks in advance.

Theoretically it is possible with Microsoft HTML help. Try it though and you will see the output is pretty horrible.

The only solution I have seen is for you to generate that output and then provide a link to the PDFs.

Hi Peter, thanks for your advice. Which function would you suggest to generate the output? PDF for Review?

Regards, Sabine

No definitely not that one.

Printed documentation is the way to go. See my site if you haven't used that before.

If your source material comes from FrameMaker, definitely use it to create PDFs, not RH.
