How to use online help instead of local help files?

I know that if I am looking for help in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, I can hit F1 or go to Help -> Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Help...
However, I do not like that doing that sends me to the limited help files that are stored on my local drive. I would like that link to default to the online help.
Is there any way to do that?
The real reason I want to do this is because I use Mozilla Firefox and tightly control the cookies that sites save on my computer. For sites that I trust, I simply add them to the whitelist. However, I am unable to add file:///C:etc.etc. to my whitelist, so I have to approve 5-8 cookies every time I go to another page within the help files. This is extremely annoying.
In regards to this local help default over internet help, Adobe has said:
The Help menu within the product opens local Help, a subset of the content available in online product Help. Because local Help is not as complete or up-to-date as online product Help, Adobe recommends that you use the PDF version of product Help if you want to stay off-line.
But what if I don't want to use the "subset of the content available in online product Help" and prefer to simply go to the online product Help just like every other Adobe CS4 product?

You could add a custom menu item to the Help menu that executes the following line of code:
// Acrobat 9 Pro Help
app.launchURL("http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/index.html");
See this tutorial for more information: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2006/add_custom_menu_items

When I try to use online help in CC, I'm told CC isn't connected to the internet, but it is.

When I try to use online help in CC, I get a message that says Photoshop isn't connected to the internet. But I am connected.

Did you use CS5 or CS6 in the past? Did you set those apps to use offline help only so that you didn't have to watch Adobe Air update itself every time you tried to open Help? If so, there might be an old Adobe Help (CS5 / CS6) preference lingering on your machine. You wouldn't think CC would respect it, but you would be wrong. I had to install old Adobe Help (for CS5 / CS6) and change the pref.

How to use search help in layout of se51

how to use search help in layout of se51.

Hi,
One of the important features of screens is that they can provide users with lists of possible entries for a field. There are three techniques that you can use to create and display input help:
Definition in the ABAP Dictionary
In the ABAP Dictionary, you can link search helps to fields. When you create screen fields with reference to ABAP Dictionary fields, the corresponding search helps are then automatically available. If a field has no search help, the ABAP Dictionary still offers the contents of a check table, the fixed values of the underlying domain, or static calendar or clock help.
Definition on a screen
You can use the input checks of the screen flow logic, or link search helps from the ABAP Dictionary to individual screen fields.
Definition in dialog modules
You can call ABAP dialog modules in the POV event of the screen flow logic and program your own input help.
These three techniques are listed in order of ascending priority. If you use more than one technique at the same time, the POV module calls override any definition on the screen, which, in turn, overrides the link from the ABAP Dictionary.
However, the order of preference for these techniques should be the order listed above. You should, wherever possible, use a search help from the ABAP Dictionary, and only use dialog modules when there is really no alternative. In particular, you should consider using a search help exit to enhance a search help before writing your own dialog modules.

How to use Oracle Help in developer 10g

Hi!
First i'm sorry for my bad english
I'm a student in computer science and i have a projet to make with Developer 10g. My teacher want us to make a Help file for the user but he don't know how to do it with developer 10g.
So i've made some research on internet and i found how to create my help file. I have downloaded Oracle Help and RoboHelp.
Using RoboHelp i've create my help file and then i generate it in Oracle Help format. I generate it in a compressed and a uncompressed version(because didn't know which one i need). So now i have two folder one who containt a .jar file and another who containt a lot of files.
What i want to know is how to execute my Oracle Help in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger with theses files.
Thank and sorry for my bad english

Hi Pierre,
Showing an appropriate help topic when a "Help" button is pressed in an application or when the user presses the F1 key is what we call "context-sensitive help".
In your Oracle Help help system there is an XML map file that contains topic-ids that map to help topics. You need to associate these topic-ids with your user interface (help button, etc).
Is your project an extension to JDeveloper 10g, or are you just creating a Java application using JDeveloper? If you are just using JDeveloper to create your own Java application, then you can use the CSHManager class distributed with Oracle Help for Java to enable context-sensitive help (see the Oracle Help Guide documentation). If you are creating an extension to JDeveloper, then let me know and I'll give you information on how to set up help in that context.

How to call .chm Help File

How to call .CHM help file on click of button through the dialog? I tried using the command WinHelpCall() but unable to find the required result. Also could anyone please suggest how to I get a link/jump to the subtopics on click of help button under that module Example Under Navigator device if the help button is clicked the help file has to display Navigator Page.
Can anyone provede me a quick suggestion.
Thanks in Advance

DIAdem doesn't have a method to open .chm files because these files are Microsoft help files, rather than DIAdem specific help files. However, there is a KnowledgeBase on Microsoft's web page that may be of help. You can find this document at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209843. I found this by doing a web search for "Programmatically open .chm". I hope this helps you.

Need suggestions for proofreading online help files

I have created online help docs off an on for many years...
and have contemplated this issue several times and never come up
with a really good answer.
Right now, the product manager is tryiing to proof one of the
online help files that i've COMPLETELY revamped and he's
complaining about the time this is taking and how difficult it is
because not all topics are in the TOC...
so I suppose i could regnerate the TOC and include EVERY
SINGLE topic... but I was wondering if anyone else had any other
suggestions for best practices when it comes to reviewing online
help files.
THANKS for any input you might have.

Umm!. I have to admit that I find your approach of adding ALL
topics to the TOC works as well as any. However it does cause
problems where one or more popup topics appear in the same topic.
This causes a bit of uncertainty unless there is a clear indication
in the topic where a popup exists and an understanding of what TOC
topic to look at. What I tend to do is have a piece of text (e.g.
see popup titled xxxxx) which has a conditional build tag on it.
Then you include the build tag when you compile. I also tend to
have all the popups in a separate book in the TOC. You can then
easily remove all the popups from the finalised output. It means a
bit of tossing and turning between TOC chapters but seems to work
reasonably well. You could also produce two printed copies, one
containing the popups and another containing the main topic
content. Hope this helps solve your conumdrum.

When I load Illustrator creative suit (5.5) on my new computer, it loads Then I put in the serial number, which is correct, but when i go to click on the program to use it it says ERROR: localized resource file from this program could not be loaded. pleas

anomaly jade,
You only need to use the serial number during installation.
Have you, at least seemingly, been able to install, and then you are unable to start up?
If that is the case, you could try to reinstall using the full three step way:
Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

How to use runtime.exe to activate the native file coping commands

How to use runtime.exe to activate the native file coping commands.(It might include using process(), and such.. but how?

Why would you want to do this? It's harder than copying the file in Java (by reading the file and writing it to a new file) and you'll need to write new code each time you want to port your code to a new OS.

How to fix Online help issue with F1

Dear All,
I think you already know this issue : when using a proxy, Online help is not working on Adobe Reader XI.
message displayed : "Online Help content cannot be displayed. Verify you can launch your web browser and have access to the Internet."
I already checked on this forum and tried some things to fix this, but without any success :
- try to add the registry key FeatureState -> not working
- check if IE is correctly defined as default browser -> it is
Accessing Online help from the Help menu was by passed by the following .js :
app.addMenuItem({
cName: "MyHelp", cUser: "Adobe Reader XI Help...",
cParent: "Help",
cExec: "app.launchURL('http://helpx.adobe.com/reader.html');",
nPos: 0
But, the message still appears when pressing F1 shortcut.
Details : Adobe reader 10.0.06 packaged through an administrative installation et customized with Adobe Customisation Tool
I tried to install directly from the setup.exe to be sure that was not caused by my package, and the issue is still the same.
I'm an application packager for the European Court of Auditors and we want that Help works through F1 shortcut. This is mandatory for me.
Thank you in advance for your help.

There is a problem with autoHeightRows and columnStretching used together in 11gR1.
Have you tried without columnStretching?
Or have you tried if it works in 11gr2?
TimoHi Timo, Thank you very much for taking time to respond to my question.. :)
Back to my question...
I tried removing the columnStretching although my requirement really requires this but no effect really happens even if I remove this.
Based on my investigation on the generated HTML, I notice the following items:
1. A table is being wrapped in a div that is being set at a fixed height.
2. On first load, if your autoheight rows is set to 6, the framework is setting a height of 96px to the div. This height would almost cut the last row of the table.
3. If you try to refresh the page or try to re-PPR the component, the framework resets it to 102px which causes the last row to be fully displayed.
My only concern is that IE is perfectly displaying this while Chrome and FF are having problem.
Based on my understanding, the framework is messing up the height only on first load. Not sure but this is how I see it. I am really not confident also on my findings
and I would most likely hear other's comment.
Thanks.

How to use Spring MVC instead of assembler.jsp in endeca 3.1.0

Hi ,
I am new to Endeca . I want to use spring MVC instead of assembler.jsp .Some body please help
me how can i do it. Wht all i have to do to achieve it.
Thanks

Hi Mark,
When using the 3.1 Assembler in your application, you can use either the jar file directly or set up the Assembler as an HTTP service and process the XML or JSON responses. Neither of these approaches conflicts with using Spring in your application.

How to use a joystick on the local side to control a robot remotely connected by FP2000 .

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to use a joystick to teleoperate a robot on the remote side.
The robot is connected to the Field point FP2000 RT module and hooked to the internet.
I can use web publish to publish the control to the local side and control the robot by
changing the control value on the picture. Howerer, I have no idea about how to connect the
joystick on the local compurer to the remote FP rt system. It seems I need to initionalized a communication
between them. Does any one have the same experiences??
Ta. Shih

What you will probably need to do is write a seperate program which will run on the PC and send commands to the program running on the FP.
You can read the joystick data with the VIs in the Advanced>>Input palette and you can communicate with your program by using a simple protocol over a TCP connection. You can find some examples in the example finder (Help>>Find Examples) by searching for TCP. You can also find an example here and here. The protocol itself is up to you and can probably be fairly simple.
