Converting RoboHelp project from v.4.1 to 8

I have problems with converting RoboHelp project created in
RoboHelp Office for Word version 4.1 into RoboHelp for Word version
8.
The project contains documents made in polish language.
Project opens fine in new version of RoboHelp, but during help
compilation to .chm file, I receive some errors. I found out, that
most of those errors are caused by polish characters in document
names. That's no problem - finaly I can modify it. However why it
was not problem in older version of RoboHelp ?
Real problem I have is with TOC - after compilation I don't
have any polish letters in topic names: they are changed for other
letters or characters.
I've made a little project (one simple document in polish
with few topics) in RoboHelp 8 with the same settings like in my
original old project - unfortunately after compilation I received
same errors with TOC.
I think that I missed something in project settings, but I
don't know what it may be. My other idea: RoboHelp doesn't support
polish language anymore :( because I don't see it in list File >
Project Settings > Language.
Please help me to solve this problem.

The information she provided was from QuickTime Player.
It would seem that the tapes were shot that way (for whatever reason).
She can try capturing the tapes again, maybe it will make a difference, maybe not.
A couple of things to try before starting to recapture:
Deleting FCP Preferences:
Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
Move the files "Final Cut Pro 4.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
Open the project in Final Cut Pro. Go to the menu bar: Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup > NTSC DV > OK
Menu bar again: Sequence > Settings > Load Sequence Preset > OK > OK.
The procedure above has reset FCP to it's default values and set the project for NTSC DV.
If the warning still appears, it is not an FCP problem.

How can I convert .cp projects from Captivate 2 to .cptx projects for Captivate 7?

How can I convert .cp projects from Captivate 2 to .cptx projects for Captivate 7? Do I have to use some other version between 2 and 7 to do this?

I doubt you are going to be able to find all those previous versions and the time it would take to install, open the project, verify it, and everything in between (and without license keys, they would only be saved from trial versions which would be an issue), it seems it would be better just to start with Cp7 and put the effort into that.
Completely off topic, one of the things I like about Authorware is that Macromedia provided previous versions that would allow you to open up and save the projects to get to version 7. It was a nice little touch they provided for developers. I don't believe that Adobe does this for Captivate though.

Open a RoboHelp Project from within SharePoint 2010

Is it possible to place or store a robohelp source file project into SharePoint and open/share the source file as a collaborative project? I have individuals who would like this possibility so they can work in real time. I know robohelp has a collaborative process built in, but I wonder if working from within SharePoint can be done.
regards,

Share point can indeed be used as a collaborative tool. However each RoboHelp project is much more than a single file and Sharepoint can't handle whole directories to my knowledge. So you'd be faced with checking each individual project file out and back in. There would also be added complications if you used multiple projects. You really wouldn't want to go there. Stick to using a proper source control tool.

Will i have any noticeable benefits converting my project from winform to WPF

Hello !
I have a large WinForm project in vb.net 2013. ( it's a financial project ).
I never used WPF , but I read something about it.
As your opinion , will I have any noticeable benefit if I convert my project to WPF ?
Thank you !

Hello dcode25,
There are several advantages to WPF in my opinion.
As a designer and developer myself, I must say that WPF is well crafted to function in a designer/developer team split. Blend is a phenomenal tool that inspires creativity and exploration for designers, allowing developers to continue coding without being
involved in UI changes.
As a developer one of the greatest aspects to WPF is the binding infrastructure. It's incredibly powerful, so powerful in fact that it is the driving force behind the MVVM pattern. This is certainly a benefit for your financial application since I imagine
you're manipulating quite a bit of data and displaying it. Simply said, binding reduces the majority of your code-behind "glue" code and lets you work more naturally with objects and properties.
Another aspect of learning WPF is that XAML, binding and the MVVM pattern are not going anywhere anytime soon. What you learn can carry over to Modern Apps and Windows Phone Apps. This still holds true for Windows 10 "Windows Apps".
Some people will tell you WPF is only for "fancy" UI apps. That's cute, and totally incorrect. WPF can help you build a better user experience even with the most subtle animations in your business apps. Meaningful animations like letting
the user know when an item has been filtered out by making it fade away or scale down. This might seem small, but to the user it is polish and better understanding. WPF was built to enable this.
If you're ready to move on to Modern Apps then by all means go down that path because it is clearly the blessed strategy by Microsoft at this time. If you're not, learning and moving your app to WPF is a great way to prepare for that step in the future..
I hope this helps :)

How can I convert a project from LabWindows/CVI 2010 to a Visual Studio 2011 project?

I have a good sized project, 12 source files, 14 headers, 1 uir, that I want to be able to edit and compile in MS Visual Studio 2011, MSVC++.
I remember being told that LabWindows dropped support for C++ in 2008 and no longer had a wizard for converting projects. I know I can go the DLL route, but I have never created a DLL before and wouldn't know where to begin with it. What would be the best way to go about this conversion?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

CVI 2010 still supports the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard for Visual Studio 2005/2008. We do plan to add support for VS 2010 in a future release.
If you need a VS 2010 project now, you can use the Visual Studio 2008 conversion wizard, then upgrade the VS 2008 project to VS 2010.

Converted a Project from 7 to 8 - Won't Publish Now

I've been working nicely wiith my projects in RoboHelp 7. I was upgraded to RH 8. I opened my previous project in 8, made adjustments and tried to publish. No matter what I try, I can't get it to publish in 8. Any suggestions?
Note: I noticed that when I/T installed 8, they didn't uninstall 7. Would that be causing any of these issues?

I'll ask for forgiveness right off the bat because while I'm fairly adept at working with software, the technical "IT stuff" I rarely understand. All my projects were established by a different individual many years ago, so I just maintain what she originally created. I don't believe my Company has the office "RoboHelp Server." I publish to our corporate server to get a URL. I link the URL to a spot on our Intranet so the users can access the info.
Here is a shot of my destination for a different file in RH 7 (publishing this still works):
I try to replicate the same thing in 8, but I must be missing something. Here is what my destination looks like in 8:
I'd ask our IT people, but they know less about RH than I do. :-(

After Effects, Layers change position when converting project from CC to CC 2014

When we convert some projects from CC to CC 2014 some of the layers are shifting position (both x & y).
Anyone else seeing this kind of problems?

Photoshop changed how layer bounds are calculated in some cases, which causes the Photoshop library that we include with After Effects to also have this change. We are currently working to determine how to fix this for the next update. It's tricky, because the new way that Photoshop is doing things is more correct... but it also means that projects created in previous versions look different when opened in the new version. We'll probably end up with a "legacy" option that will prevent this conversion from happening when opening old projects.

Opening imovie project from external hard drive

I get this message: The project “last duly noted” was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. Are you sure you want to open it?
How can I edit this item?

Hi Harmless - I do not think that your problem has anything to do with the external drive. Your project must have been crreated on an earlier version of iMovie - iMovie 4 perhaps, and contained in a standard folder. It can be upgraded to an HD project - best to use a copy for this, just in case....!
When you upgrade, it will firstly be converted only partially into the new version, so you have to take another step to fully convert>
Here's a comment about what should happen:
"A project created by iMovie 5 is a special kind of folder called a package. It looks and acts like a file. The package contains all the files and folders you see, but they are all hidden inside the package. To open the project in iMovie you double-click on the package.
If your project looks like an iMovie 4 folder instead of a package — so you can easily see inside — my guess is it's probably a project you've converted from iMovie 4 to iMovie 5. Converted projects do not look or act like true iMovie 5 projects. They contain the same files/folders but are stored in a conventional folder, just like iMovie 4.
That's not necessarily a good thing, for a user can get inside too easily, and open the project by double-clicking on that tilde file. If you do that, iMovie opens the PREVIOUSLY-saved version of the project. And when you next save, iMovie creates a second tilde file. Then a third, then a fourth. It's all too easy for the user to get confused, open the wrong project file and create quite a mess.
So it's a good idea, after converting a project from iMovie 4 to iMovie 5, to do a Save As to save the project into a new project. Then iMovie 5 builds a true iMovie 5 project that looks and acts like a real iMovie 5 project. Lots safer, and it works better." (as described by Karl Petersen)
So, you should experience no problems if you follow that advice - go ahead and convert!

Opening and maintaining old projects (from RH 2002) in RH 7

Does anyone have tips on converting old projects from a very
old version of RH (2002) to RH 7? We have two very large webhelp
projects with context-sensitive topics, plus many other without. We
realize that backing up is essential, but are there any other
details that we should know about or information that you can point
us to?
Thanks in advance!

I'll point you to
Peter's
site, yet again.
Honestly, just about everything you want to know is on his
site (and what isn't, is on Rick Stone's). You might also look at
his
merged
WebHelp recommendations, as a way to possibly split those very
large projects into more manageable chunks (they're bound to keep
growing, right?).
Good luck,
Leon

Merge Topics in Robohelp project

Hi
I am using licienced version of Robohelp9.The problem I am facing is described below.
I am creating Robohelp project from a pdf file.Some topics in my pdf file spreads to one page and some to more than one page. If I generate a Robohelp project from it each page creates a new topic
The problem which I am facing by it is if any topic of pdf is covered in several pages (say 3 pages) Robohelp project creates 3 new topics rather than a single topic
Is there any option to merge the relevant topics into one Robohelp9.
Please provide help

Which option are you selecting when you import? I just created a PDF with three topics, each starting with the Heading 1 style. Two topics were multi-page and one was single page.
I selected the first option and the in next screen I selected Style 1 to break the PDF into topics. I got three topics with the correct content.

RoboEngine is not publishing RoboHelp Projects

Hi All,
We are currently using RoboHelp 2.0 that is installed on Windows NT box. We wanted to migrate our RoboHelp Projects from NT box to Windows 2003 Server.
I have installed RoboEngine Configuration Manager 2.00.082 on Windows 2003 server but not able to publish the existing projects.
Do you have any idea what are the steps need to be followed to configure the existing projects?
Is there any settings we need to change for Windows 2003 server? Is Windows 2003 server supports RoboHelp 2.0?
Kindly help me to fix that issue.
Thanks for your help.
M.P.

Hi Mahesh and welcome to the RH community.
That sure is an old copy of RH. Adobe is currently up to version 8 of both the RH Client and RH Server applications so I'm not surprised if things don't work as you'd expect on Windows Server 2003.

Importing TOC from other RoboHelp Project

Is it possible to import a TOC from one RoboHelp project into
another one? I searched the help file but couldn't find any
information on it.
TIA.

Hi Rick,
Thanks. I figured a way around it by importing the entire
book again and not overwriting the files I already had in the
project. Basically we have 4 manuals that share the same chapter.
It's a long chapter with alot of sections and I didn't want to have
to import that into each RoboHelp project and "clean" it up for
each manual. So I did it for one manual and then just copied the
files to the other manual folders and did a quick find and replace
for text I needed to change (manual name). However, the TOC for
that section wasn't being created because I omitted it from the
book. And I was too lazy to create a TOC by hand for that section.
But I think I have a workaround that will still have some clean up
but saves time over creating the whole TOC. Make sense:-).

How to Convert Project from DV to HDV?

I have a DV photo montage template project that I created in Premiere Pro. Now I'm starting to shoot HD so I want to convert the project to HDV. It has 200 transitions and effects so I don't want to recreate the template from scratch. How do I convert it to HD?

Create a new HD sequence and nest the existing sequence in it, and possibly use scale to fit.

How to open project from an earlier version (RH x3) using RoboHelp 6.

Hello everyone, I need your help. I have recently upgraded
from RH x3 to RH V6. I have just completed the installation of RH6
after spending long time with Adobe customer support as it took
them long time to figure out how to provide me the unlocking key to
install RH v6.
BTW I have only installed RoboHelp 6 by itself. I did not
install their Source Control because we already have Visual Source
Safe which we have been using in our company.
Also, since I had Adobe Reader 8 installed on my PC, I did
not install Acrobat Element 7 either. As I suppose if Acrobat 7 or
higher is installed RH v6 was not going to install Acrobat Element
7.
Well, now after I have installed RH v6, my first step is to
find out how to open project from an earlier version (RH x3) using
RoboHelp 6.
RH x3 is installed on my old PC and I am working on my new PC
where I have installed RH V6.
Sorry, for providing you too many details, the purpose is
only to give you a clear picture.
Please, give me your feedback if I am doing everything
correct and how should I open the project from an earlier version.
Thanks

Hi Peter,
Thank you so much for the response. Actually, after I posted
the question on Forum we had lost internet connection for some time
and I just went ahead and tried it by myself.
This is what I did – since we use MS Visual Source
Safe, my all files were in the working folder of VSS in my c drive.
I just clicked the Open tab/More Files in RoboHelp Starter and
located the RoboHelp HTML Project File. It opened without any
problem. Everything looks alright.
Is there anything specific I should be checking to make sure
if it is working fine in this version of RH. Because I did not
create this project, somebody else did and I have never used this
tool before this is the first time I will be using.
I found your site pretty helpful though and it did have some
information about Source Safe. I still have one question related to
Visual Source Safe that Is RoboHelp v6 linked to VSS automatically
and check the files out from it automatically whenever a project is
opened or we have to manually set the link between the RH6 &
VSS.
In RH x3 whenever I would open a project it would prompt a
message that in order to open this project the following files need
to be writable, would you like to make them writable, selecting
that option would checkout all the files from the VSS to make them
writable. However, in RH V6 I opened an existing project and it
opened without checking out the project files from VSS. Do you have
any idea what’s happening?
Ps: Do you recommend any book on RH 6 for starters or any
other recommendation?
Your help is always appreciated
