No JavaHelp Generate Option

[TechcommJohn]

I've download and installed the trial version of RoboHelp HTML 6, and I can't seem to get the option for generating a JavaHelp version.

I've download and installed the JavaHelp 2 sdk. I've got JavaHelp 2.0 download and installed. I've been to the Adobe website, and the only slightly related help there was TechNote rb_34767, "How do I let RoboHelp know where my JDK is installed?" but unfortunately that didn't solve the problem either.

Adobe Customer Service checked to see if the trial version maybe didn't support JavaHelp, but it is supposed to. (OracleHelp too, and I don't see that either.) Any thoughts?

Thanks!
John

Welcome to the forum

See if the topic on JavaHelp on my site helps you.

Peter,
Yes, your article has been a huge help! I'm still not quite sure why JavaHelp won't show up on my trial version, but I now have plenty more ammunition to sell my client hard on a WebHelp solution. :-)

Thanks!

Hi John

In Peter's article (it's a bit buried down the pages) he mentions you need to right-click the Single Source Layouts pseudo folder and create a new layout. From that dialog you choose JavaHelp. Did you try this?

Cheers... Rick

Ah! There it is! I feel foolish that I didn't try this on my own (and a little ticked that RoboHelp wouldn't just display all single source layouts by default).

Thanks!
John
