RH 7 have RoboPDF?

[janesjanuary]

Does Adobe Robohelp 7 include the RoboPDF feature?

[Peter Grainge]

Welcome to the forum.

No. That was replaced at RH6 with a light version of Acrobat which also ships with RH7.

So the user must single-source to printed documentation (Word) and then manually use Acrobat to create a PDF?

[Peter Grainge]

No, your question was not about the workflow but about what was used. When you generate a printed output in RH6 or 7, you choose whether you want to generate a Word document, a PDF or both. The only real difference is the PDF is created by Acrobat rather than RoboPDF.

To add to what Peter said, now you can use security settings when generating PDF. Besides the fact, now you are using Adobe PDF creation (the best available!!) and you get this for free when you buy RoboHelp.

Got cha...thanks to both.

Two sides to the coin: I find RH7's Acrobat PDF Creation to be considerably slower than the old RoboPDF; on the other hand it does give you some very nice features, including security, that RoboPDF didn't offer.

Hi Morten

RoboPDF offered the ability to secure a PDF by allowing you to configure a password for it. Beyond that, what other security was missing?
