Images losing borders when generated in WebHelp Pro

Project comes from a linked Frame document. When WebHelp Pro is generated, some of the images lose their borders but not all.
Re-generation multiple times seems to jump the borders back in.
The HTML looks fine in comparison with the images that do have their borders.
Any ideas?

First off, probably should have posted in the FM Integration forum. Are you using a RH Server to host the output? If not, then don't use WebHelp Pro - it's deliberately created for RH Server hosting. What's different about the images that "work" and those that don't?

  • Image proportion distorted when exporting into DV PRO NTSC

    We're exporting a mov file into DV PRO NTSC.
    The original file is 640x480

    In the settings, we choose ratio 4:3 (just like 640x480 is)
    The output file is 720x480 (and therefore flattened out).

  • Image losing quality when rotating

    I tried to do a rotation on my buffered image, however the image loses clarity whenever it tries to rotate the image, can someone help me:
    public static BufferedImage rotateImage(BufferedImage image, double degrees) {
              /* assumes 0 <= degrees <= 90 */
              double radians = Math.toRadians(degrees);
              /* get width and height of image to be rotated */
              int width = image.getWidth();
              int height = image.getHeight();
              double w = width * Math.cos(radians);
              double z = width * Math.sin(radians);
              double x = height * Math.sin(radians);
              double y = height * Math.cos(radians);
              int rectWidth = (int) Math.ceil(w + x);
              int rectHeight = (int) Math.ceil(y + z);
              BufferedImage result = new BufferedImage(rectWidth, rectHeight,

              g2.drawImage(image, transform, null);
              return result;
         }

    Set RenderingHints on the Graphics2D object. Set
    KEY_INTERPOLATION to VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC
    you could also set
    KEY_ANTIALIASING to VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON
    but I don't think that effects rendering images, unless it antialiases their edges.

  • TOC/Search window not displayed in WebHelp Pro output

    Robohelp10, WebHelp Pro -
    I've got what I have to think is pretty fundamental question: When I generate my WebHelp Pro project, everything works perfectly until I move the contents of the output folder to a network drive for viewing. When the default topic opens, rather than displaying the TOC/Search window on the left, I'm getting a link that says "Show". Click that link, and the TOC opens right up.
    I would like to have the TOC displayed on that initial view, without requiring users to click the "Show" link.
    Again, when I view the results of the output on my local drive, the TOC is displayed. The obvious problem is, the generated help needs to reside on a network drive to be accessed by our users...
    PS: The project is on my local drive, only the contents of the output folder are being moved to the network drive. Also, everything other than the TOC display seems to be working fine.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Larry, Rick has solved your conditional build issue. However, do check to make sure you have all the updates installed for RoboHelp 10.
    WebHelp issues in RoboHelp versions 10 and 11
    I notice you are using IE. Does the Show link occur with Chrome or Firefox as well?
    Meanwhile, I'm still suspect that you are not opening the correct "default" start page file to launch the WebHelp and that's why you're getting that "Show" link. This is "tell-tale" that you are opening the default topic file instead of the default Start Page. By chance have you somehow named your "default topic", index.html? If so, this is not correct.

  • Webhelp Pro Wizard - Limitations

    Hello,
    I am trying my first project in RoboHelp, and am beginning
    from 0 so I can understand each step. I've tried to generate
    different outputs. When trying the Webhelp Pro, the first 2 or 3
    times it worked beautiful, but as I began to add more text and
    tried the same thing it compiled ok and when I've tried to view the
    results I've got the message: "The following items cannot be viewed
    using Preview. To test all functionality, publish your project to
    the RoboEngine" and the items are: Window Properties, Natural
    Language Search, and Project merging.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Why do images within a PDF look jagged when viewed in Acrobat Pro 10.1.6?

    Using a MacBook Pro running Mac OS version 10.7.5 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB graphics card. High-resolution source images look fine in other software, and embedded images in a PDF look fine when viewed on Google Drive, but curves and diagonal lines look jagged when viewed in Acrobat Pro 10.1.6. Checking smoothing options in Preferences only adjusts the position of the jagged edges; it neither enhances nor ameliorates them.
    I created a sample PDF to illustrate the problem I'm having. Created in illustrator, exported to PNG and converted to PDF. Here is a screenshot of the source PNG side-by-side with the PDF I created from it:
    Please note that when I preview the PDF in Finder, and when I view the PDF in Chrome using Google Drive, the image looks fine. Here's a link to the sample PDF:
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/77f5m6
    Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks!

    Unfortunately, as I mentioned in my original post, I've already tried toggling smoothing options. They don't make the jagged edges go away—they just change them slightly. In some cases, as with the sample file provided, it does help smooth the art out, but it never looks as good as it did going in, in a recent project, toggling smoothing options didn't affect the appearance of the image at all. Zoom does not appear to relieve the artifacting.
    A little clarification: this PDF was created from a flat PNG, but I have had this issue with PNGs and TIFFs as well, generated by both Photoshop and Illustrator. To reiterate, the PDFs display fine in other software—Finder preview looks great, and the same file viewed in my browser via Google Drive looks as intended as well. A colleague was able to replicate this issue in Acrobat on his Windows machine. This appears to be a rendering issue specific to Acrobat with regards to the files I use it to create.

  • Why is the right hand side of the tables on a Word document that was imported being cut off using Webhelp but not when using Webhelp Pro?

    I would prefer to use Webhelp and not Webhelp Pro because Webhelp allow for the insertion of a logo located to the right of the search field by selecting the "Show About" check box when generating content. The problem is that Webhelp is cutting off the words in the tables. Wordwrap is turned on in the Word document and the rest of the sentence will continue beneath the "cut off" word.

    You would only use WebHelp Pro if you were using RH Server – that’s what the “pro” versions of output are for. I would suggest that something’s wrong with your table definition. You talk about a Word document – is this the source or the output you’re talking about?

  • RH7 Error: Failed to read from log... Failed to generate WebHelp Pro

    Installed RH9 trial on Windows XP PC. Then, generated an existing project using RH7 to a new C: drive directory location on the PC using the same name. Renamed the project files in that C:drive directory to a test name and opened the project's .xpj file in RH9.  It converted cleanly. 
    Now, when I go to generate the RH7 original project from the original server directory, I receive:  
    Error: Failed to read from log (file name) .log.... Internal error encountered,  Failed to generate WebHelp Pro.
    Does the log file keep track of the previous generation (time stamp,etc), since this RH7 generation has a skip in it for the one generated to the C:drive?  I've compared the log files from each run (.txt files) and don't see a difference. I even copied the log file from the C:drive run to the Server directory. No luck.  Any ideas?

    Hi John,
    Thanks for the prompt response.  I am trying to evaluate RH9 / RH Server 9.
    When I generate RH7 projects, I’ve always put the server (RH7 Server) directory reference in the ‘Output Folder and Start Page’ field.  This directory reference is where the compiled output ends up right? In my case, it’s in that field as:
    PBSrobohelp\D$\RoboHelp <file:///
    PBSrobohelp\D$\RoboHelp>  Web Files\PBS Unit Processes Manual.  I’m not aware of a C:Drive local copy of the files. Doesn’t it go out to the server output for the .log file in question?
    For the test, I took an existing project in RH7 and replaced this server reference with a C:Drive local hard drive directory reference and ran the output to it.  Then I went to the C:Drive directory and changed the project name, because there doesn’t appear to be a way to do a ‘save as’ on a project – RH7 wants to keep that name badly.  I then, shutdown RH7 and started RH9.  I opened the .xpj file from the new test project copy. It recognized that it was from an older release and it converted the test copy to RH9.  It converted cleanly with about 2 inconsequential document warnings but did not create a TOC.  I looked it over and saved it in RH9 – it was already my test name.  
    The original RH7 project opens fine in RH7 and the Test RH9 project opens fine in RH9. So I think I have a good test copy.  It’s just that when I point the RH7 original to the Server Output folder (which has its files) it gets the error on generation.  
    We are evaluating RH Server 9 but I haven’t attempted to publish anything to it yet. I’ve stayed  purely on my desktop.  
    Hope this clears it up.

  • Weird characters when generating WebHelp from a word document

    Hello,
    First of all, I'm using RoboHelp 6.
    I've seen many posts about this subject, but none with the same version.
    I've generated a WebHelp from a word document, that contains accentuated characters (french).
    When viewing that help from my local machine, it's ok.
    When viewing that help from a web server, it displays weird characters.
    I'd like to change the encoding to UTF8, in my web help.
    I've seen (if I understood well) that we could change the output charset when generating a web help, but only from the RoboHelp 7 version.
    How can I do such a thing on  RoboHelp 6 version ?
    I've tried to add <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> in many htm files, without success.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks a lot
    Regards

    Hello
    Thank you for answering me.
    There is no way to do it using RoboHelp ?

  • Search not Working in Webhelp or Webhelp Pro

    I am currently running Adobe Robohelp version 10.  I have several different RH files that I manage (desk procedures) and in each of the ones that I manage, my latest publishings have broken search functions.  What I mean by broke: it will search some words just fine, but others that I know are in my desk procedures show "no topics found".   Some of my files are published using webhelp and some webhelp pro, with the same problem.
    I have done the following:
    1) Gone back to a backed up file dated 05/01/2014 (that the search seems to be working just fine in) and done edits to it, published and it breaks the search.
    2) I have gone back to the working 05/01/2014 file and done nothing to it except publish it and it breaks.
    3) Checked the button to clear the cache
    4) From Webhelp Settings Option I have:
    ·         Changed output folder that it publishes to (which is on a local drive before I transfer it to the network drive)
    ·         I have enabled substring search (which actually does allow it to render some results, but not all the results it should)
    ·         Tried to click “Republish All” setting
    5) Created new (not duplicate) webhelp layout
    6) Checked that language is set to English (US)
    7) Ensured that the words that I know aren’t searching aren’t included in the ignore and stop list.
    8) Tried switching from DHTML > Pure HTML to just Pure HTML
    9) I noticed that the Output view generates the following message :
                    Processing Full-text-search data...
    Finished processing Full-Text-Search data in 0 sec(s)
    10) Deleted the “webhelp” file from the !SSL! folder and then republished it
    11) The biggest finds that I have are the following:
    ·         That publishing the file is what seems to break the search functionality
    ·         When the file is published a few of the files in the !SSL! folder are substantially smaller than they were in the working file:
    o   WHXDATA
    o   WHGDATA
    Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

  • While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything.

    While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. It happens at random time and a restart of the computer is all that helps, then with out any notice it starts to do this again.  Mac Book Pro i7 2.2 16 GB 1333 Ram, (2) 450GB SSD both internal to machine. At this point I am losing file because I am unable to save in the file type I need. Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?
    Thanks
    phil

    I haven't been unify photoshop much in the past month, but I did try your suggestion and it seemed to work for a while. Today when i went to save a document the same thing happened: click on file>save at this point I can not click on save even though it is highlighted. Tryed to use command s that brings up the save dialogue box, but when I try to change file type I again cannot select it from the drop down menu.

  • IE10 Fix Does Not Appear to Work for My WebHelp Pro Project

    I am testing a WebHelp Pro project that was originally created in RH9, but is now being generated in RH10.0.1. (I am working on a Windows 7 (64-bit) OS, with IE10.) With the RH application closed, I copied the two "FixForRH10Install" folders into my WebHelp5Ext folder, as directed. Then, after reopening the app, I recompiled my project. Unfortunately, whether I view my primary layout locally or publish it to a server, I still see the same problem with the output in IE10. Initially, I see the TOC panel on the left and the default topic on the right. But if I click a link in the topic, in the TOC, in the Index, or in a Search result, I get nothing in the right side of the screen--just a blank with progress "swirl" endlessly swirling. (For what it's worth, if I right-click in the blank screen or on a TOC link, the topic will finally display.)
    Is anyone else experiencing this? Even with this "fix," the only way I can make my Help display properly is to use IE10's Compatibility View. 

    Did you paste the folders to the WebHelp5Ext or to the same name folder within? The latter is not the correct procedure.
    You have to drag the supplied folders to where I have shown, you do not paste them over the top of the old template_skin and template_skinpreview folders. When you drag to the correct location, you will be asked if you want to merge the folders, confirm you do.
    If you have dragged to the old folders, sub-folders will have been created that you need to reverse out.
    The template_skin folder should not have any sub-folders.
    The template_skinpreview folder should have a template_skin sub folder but that should not have any further sub-folders.
    The patch does work once you have regenerated so I am pretty sure that is where you problem is. If you are not sure about all this, you may want to get IT or a developer to assist. Whilst it will not impact this problem, also make sure you have applied the recent patch.

  • Trying to publish old X5 webhelp pro project using Robo 6

    I apologize immediately for this being confusing....Have to provide a bit of background b4 I get to the "roboengine" part of my question.
    First - I inherited an old X5 Webhelp Pro help project (CSH) that was published with a web app developed with .NET. The app is still in use but the help hadn't been updated in 2+ years. Without going in to all the "why"s, here is the bottom line.
    The old x5 project has been opened in Robo 7 but since then, worked on in Robo 6. Just the usual assortment of content edits, a new template, and such.
    All seemed fine until the project started hanging up on me to the point where I could no longer even work on it. Literally, I try to edit one topic and it hangs. Have tried creating new project and reimporting files and some other things with no luck.
    So..being up against an immediate and immoveable deadine, I downloaded a trial version of Robo 8 to see if the version issues might be the problem. Project stoped hanging BUT.... now I can't publish using the old publish info. New server, new security , new policies in place. Thought we could just copy the updated files to the existing network folders/structure (where the help was served up from 2 years ago and still should be.) Deleted the old files, kept the folders, and copied the new stuff into the existing folders. Now when we click the CSH help button from the web app here's the message we see:
    CONGRATULATIONS! The RoboEngine .NET has been successfully created. To get started using RoboEngine you need to publish a project.
    I don't even know where to start troubleshooting this. Don't know what version of roboengine is out there or where it is. .  Anyone have any jumping off points for me? Other than the nearest tall bridge... :-)

    Thanks for your fast reply. At this point continuing to use Robo 8 is not ideal as there is no quick way for me to get a non-trial version of it or of Server 8 (big corporate procurement rolls slowly and they are still on 6 here I believe). I can try creating another new project with 6 and importing the topics a few at a time. If that does work and I can gen webhelp output (don't think i need pro anyway as i don't care about feedback reports and such), should I then be able to just copy those output files over to the existing network folder structure (where the old help files currently resided)? Assuming whatever X5 engine I have works with 6 output...
    FYI this thing is in Production as of 6am this morning with broken help. If I move quickly I can get the fix into a patch release very soon. Just saying that b/c clearly I need to do whatever I can get done the fastest that works. I've considered generating the whole thing to Word output and importing from that using my Robo 6 but assume that will leave a bigger more time consuming mess to sort out. But maybe not...I dunno.

  • RH7 - Custom WebHelp Pro skin custom "Print" button does NOT display in version published to RH Server 8

    I customized a WebHelp Pro skin using the Omega skin as the basis. Everything works fine except the Print button, which I added using the same Action as shown in the BeautifulVista skin's Print button.
    Local Version (C: drive)
    When I generate my help project and view it locally from my C: drive after I accept the warning about viewing locally, I see the Print button.
    However, it does NOT work.  I've attached a graphic that shows the local version and the skin dialog where I set up the action for the Print button.
    RH Server 8 version
    When I view the same project after I publish it to the server, the Print button does NOT display.
    QUESTIONS ARE:
    How do I get the Print button to function properly (active printer dialog)?
    If it can't work until it is published that fine but then how do I get it display when I view from server?
