Can I Convert a MadCap Flare Project to a RoboHelp 8 Project?

I've inherited a couple of help systems that were originally created using the MadCap Flare product. I'm wondering if anyone has tried to "convert" a Flare help project into a RoboHelp project. Is it possible to do so, and, if so, how well does the conversion work? Are there any known issues or limitations that I can expect to encounter? Thanks !

Converting .chm files to pdf files using robohelp

Can we convert .chm files to pdf files using robohelp plz?
any help regarding this would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
Wrong workflow. The RH project that created the CHM can
produce other outputs. What you do is create a printed output as
described in the Printed Documentation article on my site. Don't be
put off by the length of the article. Producing the output is
simple but the article explains pretty much everything in detail.
In theory you can output direct to PDF but most people find
there are some tweaks they want to make in Word first, better page
breaks and so on. You can also create the PDF from Word.

How can I convert a Flare project to RoboHelp HTML 10?

In my company, we work in RoboHelp HTML 10. We aquired a company that uses Flare for their online help project, and now it falls to me to convert it to RoboHelp. I searched online and found the converter on the Show Me The Demo site, but the download button doesn't do anything.
Is that converter posted anywhere else? Or is there another method of converting from Flare to RoboHelp? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi folks, sorry for the glitch in the download for the Flare to Robohelp Project Converter. I have been traveling and teaching and did not notice this post.
Until I fix the link, please email me using the address in my Profile and I will send it via an email attachment right away.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

How can I convert an iMovie 9 project down to iMovie 8?

Student started movie project in school in iMovie 8. Took project home to work on it, but had iMovie 9 at home. Now, he can't read his movie project on computer at school (in iMovie 8). Any "Save as" or down-converter?

It is not possible to downconvert. You can forward-convert to a later version because the later version has all the old features plus some new ones. You cannot backward convert, because once you convert, the project file now has the new data structures that enable the new features. The old version does not know what to do with these.
If he was running Time Machine, he could go back to the iMovie 08 version and just lose any edits he made under iMovie 09. Otherwise, he should just finish up the project at home.

Can I convert my VBA project to some sort of batch submitted executable

Thanks to the help from you all, I have written VBA macros that open huge word documents and pluck out specific information and put it into Excel. The files I've received have grown in size from 1500 to 3500 pages. I'm currently running the VBA
macros by opening the document in word and then clicking "View....Macros...mymacro....Run. The macro then runs for any where from 10 minutes to 2 hours.
Is there a way I can convert my VBA project into some sort of executable so that I can "submit" the word file to the executable? Sometimes I run this on a term server. I'd like to start the job, log off the term server, and then later
check for the resulting excel file.
Is there a way to queue up a list of input files for this?

Hi Denis Backer,
>>Can I convert my VBA project to some sort of batch submitted executable<<
Yes, it is possible. We can write an application to automate open the Word documents and run the macro using
Application.Run. Also we can convert all the VBA project with mange code, however the Office automation is not supported on the server enviroment.
Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of
Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client
application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services),
because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run
in this environment.
You can get more detail about it from link below:

Can I convert Facebook time Text to Project Siena's Date value ?

Can I convert Facebook time Text to Project Siena's Date value ?
I want to show create_time on screen by my Localtime formatted text.

Siena uses JavaScript to parse date/times, via the TimeValue function. A good specification regarding what is acceptable can be found here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/parse
The example above is truly bizarre: I thought I had seen it all. You will need to turn that form into one of those listed on the above site, using string functions to chop it up and reassemble it into a saner form.

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.

How can I convert from color balance in FCE to color balance in FCPX?

Let me start off by saying that I've been having an issue with a project in Final Cut Express - a project I'd put a lot of time into and thought I was finished with. Before continuing on, I encourage you to take a look at my other thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18702933?ac_cid=op123456#18702933
Realizing that there may be no one who can walk me through fixing my project as is, I decided to download a trial version of Final Cut Pro X and see if I could replicate my project there and have more success (after all, it was only a matter of time before I switched anyway).
So, in my original project in FCE, I keyed a lot of frames with different color balances. I downloaded the Ripple Training color balance effect to do just that, but the sliders are set up differently. In FCE, they range from -1 to 1. In FCPX, they range from 0 to 1. I'm wondering how I can conveniently convert the values from FCE to FCPX. Being terrible at math has made this much harder.
Just by drawing a diagram, like the following, I can figure out the basics:
FCE
[-1]-----[-.5]-----[0]-----[.5]-----[1]
is equal to:
FCPX
[0]-----[.25]-----[.5]-----[.75]-----[1]
Since I have very specific numbers, not all of which can be easily converted using a basic diagram like the one above, I definitely need some help here. For example, one of the values in FCE is .77. What would that be equal to in FCPX? It's probably something simple, but like I said, I'm stupid when it comes to math.
Thanks to anyone who can provide me with some help here, although I still hope that I'll end up having no reason to redo everything in FCPX.

Well, the "math answer" is .885…but I'm afraid that's not likely to be of much help. FCPX and FCE have absolutely nothing in common, including filters land color correction. So even if you sent the time comverting all your numeric values, I'm guessing you'll wind up with a mess and be very frustrated with all the time wasted in the workaround.
If I read your original FCE thread correctly, I if it were my project., I'd do a test on a short clip in X to see whether yoi can the effects and quality you expect. If you can, great. Build you project from scratch and learn a new NLE at the same time.
Good luck.

Can't open Project 2010 file in Project 2007

I am trying to open a Project 2010 file in Project 2007, I get an error that asks if I would like to download the converter and I say yes and get a generic product page for Project 2010. I can't locate the file that I need, how do I find it?

Addressed here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/opening-project-mpp-files-from-different-versions-HA001045020.aspx
You have reached this page because the Project MPP file that you are trying to open was created in a later version of Microsoft Project. Check below to determine if a converter for opening later files is available to you.
Which Project version are you using?
Which file version are you trying to open?
Notes
Project 2007
Project 2010
No converter is available. If you received a Project 2010 file that you want to open using Project 2007, ask the person who sent the file to first save it to the Project 2007 file format.
Alternately, you can install the free
trial version of Project 2010, and then view the file, or save it to the Project 2007 file.
Note Once the trial version of Project 2010 has expired, it can continue to open and view project files, but it won’t be able to save them.
Project 2003
Project 2007
There are two possibilities here.
If you are using Project 2003 with SP3, project files from Project 2007 can be opened read-only.
Download Microsoft Office Project 2003 Service Pack 3.
If you are using Project 2003 without SP3, there is no converter available. Upgrade to Project 2003 with SP3, or ask the person who sent the Project 2007 or later file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
Project 2003
Project 2010
No converter is available. Ask the person who sent the Project 2010 file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
Project 2000 or Project 2002
Project 2007 or Project 2010
No converter is available. Ask the person who sent the Project 2007 or later file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
Project 98
Project 2000 and later versions
No converter is available. Consider upgrading to the latest version of Project, or install the free
trial version of Project 2010 to try out Project’s enhanced functionality.
Alternately, ask the person who sent the Project 2000-2003 file to save the file first in the Project 98 file format.
Note Project 2007 and later versions of Project do not have the ability to save to the Project 98 file format.”

Something happened, now I can't select clips in the timeline of my current project(in Elements 4)

I've been working on a project for a few days now, everything's been fine. Last night while editing, something happened when I was trying to add a transition between two clips. Now I can't select or edit any clips in the timeline anymore, and can't add new ones. When I click on the clips in the timeline, nothing happens. When I try to drag the select box around several of them, same thing. It acts like there's nothing to select. Same thing with right clicks, soundtrack mp3s, etc. The clips ARE still THERE though, and they all play fine in the preview screen in real time, and when I drag the slider back and forth along them.
All the clips are already rendered except the one transition I was adding when this started. When I hit 'Enter' to render, though, it says "Rendering 1 of 6 Audio Previews" instead of the usual x-number of video previews. I've not seen that before so it probably has something to do with all this.
It's ONLY with this one project. I can still edit and select clips in all my other projects as before.
I've already tried loading other projects and then coming back to this one, as well as closing the program and re-opening it. My current project is still stuck like this but the others are fine.
Please keep all this info in mind. This can't have anything to do with codecs or the clips being in the wrong format for the program. They're all regular AVI files and MP3s, I've been selecting and editing every single clip on this timeline dozens of times over the past few days with no problems. I'm just suddenly not able to select or edit them anymore or add anything new to the timeline, but they still play normally as previews.
I'm really hoping this is a simple thing where I've just tripped some setting and accidentally saved it that way and it can be easily changed back.

OK, then all that I suggested here:
Now, Exit from PrE, and Shutdown the computer completely. Wait a few moments, and then do a cold boot, launching PrE and Opening that Save_As Project. Do you now have the ability to edit the Clips on the Timeline?
If not, go to the location where you Copied the AutoSave folder, and view the files with Detail View ON. Then, look at the Date/Time of the files (probably will be 5 of them). Choose the last one written, Open that, and test. If no change, work backwards to the oldest.
If nothing is working, the only thing that comes to my mind would be an issue with the display driver, BUT that should affect all Projects, and not just this one. However, updating the video driver is always a good step, and should not hurt anything.
Note: many MP3's can cause all sorts of problems. I recommend always converting them to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, and replacing MP3's with those WAV files. One can use the great, free audio-editor, Audacity, to convert the MP3's.
If all of the above tests fail, let us know, and if you get any error, or warning messages, copy those down completely, and post those
all failed too?
If so, there is nothing that I can suggest. It seems that your Project is hosed, and is very likely not recoverable.
Sorry,
Hunt

Can't Convert WP8 to Universal (VS Only Changes to Silverlight 8.1)

Hi!
This is my first post here, and appreciate your help.
I have a Windows Phone 8 solution with 1 project.
Now with Update 2 I'm trying to make a conversion to universal app solution. I know there will be manual changes to do, but:
I've read about a right click and selec "add windows 8.1" but I don't have this option here.
The only option is "retarget to windows phone 8.1" but if I do this, it changes to "windows phone silverlight 8.1" and then, no more option to add anything.
Why it changes to "silverlight 8.1" and not "windows phone 8.1" (which could be the base to add a "windows 8.1" project)? Am I missing something?

Universal apps are WinRT based. Your original Phone application is not so it cannot be converted. Windows Store 8.0 apps are WinRT based, so they can be converted and you can add a Windows Phone RT project to the universal app.

Can't convert to MP3

All of a sudden, I can't copy/convert a bounced AIFF project to an MP3, AAC,or Apple Lossless. The only options available are SdII, Wave, or CAF. This has never been a problem before and only occurs with this one project. I can't convert during the bounce either. Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Erik,
Preferences look OK. I'm using 10.6.2 and Logic 8.02. It seems to be something with the audio file itself. If I open an empty project and import 2 different audio files into the project, one I can convert to MP3, and the previously mentioned file I don't have the option. Very strange.
Thank you.
