I'm using RH2015. I have Office 2013 installed, although I have no intention of creating Word docs. I have built my project and successfully generated .chm files. However, now I need to generate a PDF. When I click on 'Printed Documentation' in the Output, I get a box that says: 'The parameter is incorrect'. I click OK and it pops again...OK again and now I get past it. I complete all the entries on the pages, but when I click (finally) to Generate, nothing happens. In the Print Document General window (the first one), none of the drop down options have anything in them. I select the Adobe PDF option, and uncheck the Word option and get the 'parameter' warning again...but OK clears it. I click Next...I see the TOC and Chapter Layouts as they are in my project...Next again, and I see the topics...but the Section Layout is basic. Do I have to completely reset all the topics into the section layout box? Why? I already did this creating my project. But, I can click Next without doing anything....and when I Save and Generate.....nothing happens.
The PDF for RH2015 is kind of useless.......
Any help from anyone?

Don’t use the Printed Documentation SSL – that runs it through Word. You can create Review PDFs directly in your Project Manager view. Right-click on the project & select Review PDF IIRC.

If you are looking at a decent PDF output, you'd be better off creating the Word document first and then create the PDF from that. (Note that I am currently using RH10, so I have to manually add the page numbers to the footers, etc.)
