How do I create links from my help text to my software program?

I have finished all of my online help text documentation using RoboHelp 8. I would like to create a help button in my software that a user could click on to find more information about a specific part of the program in the online help text. I would like to know how to view the absolute paths in RH8 of the help text so that I can link it to the software. Currently, when I go to my online help text is only shows me the http://www.sitename.com. and nothing more for any of the topics.

Hi,
Since your help is online, I assume you're using webhelp. Calling the help context sensitive is a joint venture between the help and the application. See http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm for help calling your help. If it doesn't help, please post back.
Greet,
Willam

  • How to disable - General preference - Create links from URLs. Using Acrobat Javascript

    http:\\www.sdss.com should not be suggested as a link. We have manual option to uncheck -> Create links from URLs, but I need to achieve this through the script.
    Please help on this ASAP.

    That is an end user preference only. Not accessible by JavaScript. If you control the installation, then you can turn off that option for the installation but the user could still turn it back on.

  • How to email a "link" from Safari?

    Since upgrading to Lion I can't figure out how to send a "link" from a Safari page in Apple's Mail. Example: I am surfing "MacSurfer" and I click on a link to read it. I then decide to email the link to my daughter. I used to be able to open Mail and drag the URL into the body of the email. Now, in Lion, the URL of the link just says "Go To This Address". I can't seem to have both apps (Safari and Mail) open at the same time on my desktop. And what's up with the  "Go To This Address" thing in the URL so often?
    I have both Mail and Safari each set up as "Full Screen" so they will be permanently stuck on a desktop in Mission Control. Could this have something to do with it?
    I'm also running into another issue in Safari. If I click on a link and a new page opens many times there are no "traffic lights" (red, yellow, green in upper left of page) and the "Back" arrow is greyed out. Also, the contextual menu does not offer to go back. The only way to close the page is to quit, which causes me to close Safari all together.
    What am I missing?
    And while I'm on my ***** fest here…I'm not thrilled with this new discussion board either. It wasn't broke, so why "fix" it? (Maybe I'm just getting old and don't adapt to change so well.) OK, I feel better now!

    Can someone help?
    In Safari File: Mail:Link o This Page has stopped working on my macbook pro running Lion-- all of a sudden I am seeing this error message when I want mail a website link to someone:
    An email message can’t be created to send the link because Safari can’t find an email application.
    This message does not show when I click on a hyperlink within the body of a webpage viewed in Safari.
    This does not happen in Firefox. The File: Mail Link works just fine. Maybe I should stop using Safari but I like it!!!
    I checked all of the system preferences suggested in various support documents. Did I miss something?

  • How can we create a Collective search help

    Hi all sap experts,
    How can we create a Collective search help on field “OBJECT” which allows to search tables

    on 2 tabs.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
    2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
    3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
    4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
    5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
    6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.

  • Enable for Commenting and Create Links from URL (JS, Acrobat Pro)

    I need to change a PDF's settings to Enable for Commenting and Annotation and then Create Links from the document's URLs.  I can do it manually, but I don't see where these properties can be adjusted with Javascript.
    Please help!

    Regarding converting URL's to real links, this script (created by me) can do

  • Create links from URLs

    Hello !  i really hope someone can help me here.
    part of my job is to put magazines online. To do that, i work with all the pages combined together in one document (booklet).
    Then i click on Advanced ==> Create Links from URLs...
    Acrobat will locate, for me, all the wed addresses in all the pages of my document. It will find the "www." and pickup the rest to create the weblink.
    once this is done, i have to go through all the pages and create the links for the addresses that Acrobat DIDN'T find.  The ones that doesn't start with "www."
    •• The problem is that in most ads, the clients don't put the "www." anymore, so this is a lot of work for me, since i do this for 40 different magazines, and sometimes has 300 pages !
    i am looking for a way  for Acrobat to "recognize" the addresses that ENDS with ".com" or  ".ca"...
    ...so it would make my life easier  : )
    thank you, in advance, for your help  : )
    (i also speak french)

    I think you are going about the process backwards. The links should be placed into the document in the software used to create the original content. If the content was created in InDesign (for example) it is easy to put the links into the ID file, then you can export the pdf with links intact. Then you can use Adobe's advanced search capabilities to search for "www.", ".com", ".ca" and even ".mil". It might be possible to create a plug-in to do what you want, but assuming you are not a programmer, that would cost $.

  • "Create links from URLs" preference no longer working in sticky notes

    I work with reading other people's sticky notes in Adobe Acrobat X Pro (now version 10.1.1). When they wrote URLs in the sticky notes it used to recognize them as links; now they're just plain text. My Preferences > General > "Create links from URLs" option is checked ON. I aso tried View > Tools > Document Processing > "create Links from URLs" and it added two links but only outside of the sticky notes. I am on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Thanks.

    AFAIK, URLs inside annotations were never converted into actual links. I'm not even sure it's technically possible to do so.
    It might have happened if the annotations were flattened and the text in them became a part of the static text of the PDF. Then the URLs in it could have been converted into "live" links, but not before.

  • Creating Links From Converted Word docs

    i converted a Word docx document to HTML that is comprised of a set of docs that are linked together.
    Consequently each section in the complete doc, (except the Title and Table of contents), actually becomes a modifiable JPG text box.
    I have been trying to create links from the Table of Contents to the individual sections.
    I have tried everything but I am missing some concept.  It's one of those things if I just see it once I'll slap myself over head fro not fiquring it out.

  • How can I enable the ability to create links when editing site text in BC?

    I am about to launch my first BC site for a client. I built the site using Muse. The client needs to update text and pics on their own using BC, which is fine, but when editing text, they are unable to create a link to another page. How can I enable the ability to create links when editing site text in BC? I can apparently do this in this post, but I don't see a way to do this for their site.

    Grid control should be used if you have multiple dbs to manage.
    But if you still want to install dbconsole, you can use dbca as already mentioned. it's much easier to do that using dbca.
    With the manual method, you create the repository via emca -repos create.
    Then you configure it using emca -config dbcontrol db. This will ask for sys passwords, ports setting etc...
