Cannot generate a winhelp file

Today I was asked to create an old style win help
file. Normally I work with html help and compile from HTML topics
etc using robohtml. I opened my copy of robohelp for word and added
a couple of topics with minimal content. I then tried to save the
file in the word window displayed and recieved the following
prompts:
"Word cannot start the converter RHRTF.CNV"
then when clicked on OK got...
"Robohelp received word error 1036. If you continue to get
this error contact macromedia for support."
I am running word 2003 versioon 11.5604.8122.
It seems that something in my installation won't let me save
rtfs..
Any ideas anyone as my RH for word is currently dead in the
water!
Normally I use RH HTML and will continue to so so but if thi
circumstance arises again I want to get RH operational.

Does the same happen on other RH for Word projects. Try
making a change to one of the sample projects. If it does, it
suggests something wrong with the install.
P.S. Re "contact macromedia for support": Nice to see Adobe
updated their error messages for RH6 ;-)

  • Cannot generate a pdf file in Framemaker 9

    I have been struggling with generating pdf file while they were all in a book, but sometimes it worked. But because I needed to add a pdf that was created in Adobe LifeCycle Designer ES2 to the already generated pdf file and this newly added file would lose its date text boxes, I have decided to get rid of the book and generate separate files altogether. I have saved those files after I had deleted the book file and now I cannot create a pdf file no matter what setting or option I try. Adobe does not exactly make it easy to troubleshoot any kind o issue. Is there someone out there who has run into this kind of problem and found a solution to it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks so much,
    Simone

    Simone, to elaborate a bit on what Arnis and Jeff are suggestiong:
    After you make a .ps file, open Adobe Distiller, you should see a white area where any errors will be displayed while the file is being distilled. Now drag the .ps file into Distiller, or double-click on it, either way you should see the white message area begin to process the file.
    In the bottom white box it will display page numbers as it processes the file. Watch to see what page number is displayed immediately before you see the error message. That will tell you approximately what page in your FM file is the culprit. Remember that the page numbers shown in Distiller are the "logical" numbers, from "1" on, not the actual page numbers you might have assigned in your FrameMaker document(s), so if the Distiller stops at, say, page 16, you might have 3 pages of TOC and then the first FM content file might start at 1, so the error would be around 16 - 4 = FM page 12.
    So then go look at what content is on pages 11 or 12 in your FM document. What unusual kind of content is on those pages? Are there graphics? Inset referenced files?
    Unfortunately testing Acrobat from Powerpoint doesn't have much direct comparison to FrameMaker and PDF because Office applications use a completely different process to create a PDF.

  • Cannot generate .chm; no images are compiling.

    Thank you in advance for any help.  Here is the situation:  I am using RoboHelp HTML, ver. 8 and have a project that I cannot generate a .chm file for.  Each time I try it runs through the compiler, the output shows .htm files but no image files are included in the compiling process and I end up with a "Fatal Error:  Unexpected error from Microsoft HTML compiler" message.
    To generate the file I am going to:  File, Generate, Primary Layout (Microsoft HTML Help).  When I try to open the .chm file I get a message that says "Cannot open the file:  mk:@MSITStore:C|(the directory I saved it to).
    There are broken links which haven't been fixed yet but we would like to be able to still generate a .chm file so content can be reviewed.  Is it possible to have a successful .chm file compiled if you have broken links? 
    Thank you again for any help!

    Hi,
    I can't say I have a solution to your problem but I have run into similar situations. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have documented them anywhere...thus I will have to rely on my sketchy memory.
    First though, I will respond with two points I am quite certain about:
    - Having broken links in your project should not cause any generation problems other than the obvious missing links in the output CHM.
    - You do not see any images in the compiling process because there is a problem earlier on in the html compilation part.
    In my case, I had a project with a multi-level folder hierarchy. With longer filenames totalling a very large number of total characters in the full path, the project would take a very long time to build and, ultimately, I would end up with a "Fatal Error". IF you have a project with even a single instance of a very long full path, this could be the source of the problem. Keep in mind that during the compilation process the full file path is lengthened by the addition of the temporary folder in which the product is built, by default, in the !SSL! folder. My solution was to simply generate to an output folder at the top level e.g. C:\Output. It may, however, be the case that you would have to shorten some of your file/folder names.
    In other cases, I could not find a culprit per se, but ended up deleting the .cpd, which is known to sometimes become corrupt. Upon opening the project again, a fresh .cpd was built and the project ran without issue.
    Obviously, if you try either of these suggestions, I highly recommend ensuring you have a backup if one does not already exist on a version control system.

  • I cannot import a Quicktime file (.mov) which I generated from a slide show out of iPhoto8 in iMovie8 (filename is grey); what did I wrong?

    I cannot import a Quicktime file (.mov) which I generated from a slide show out of iPhoto8 in iMovie8 (filename is grey); what did I wrong?

    iMovie 08 will only import files that contain codecs that it can edit. It will generally import audio and video codecs that iPhoto generates. However, if your iPhoto slideshow contains a manual advance track, iMovie cannot edit this and therefore will not import. In iPhoto, check to see if you can do a timed advance rather than a manual advance. Then it should import.

  • "Adobe CFC Generator" error "cannot find ide_config.xml file"

    Hi there
    Yesterday I downloaded a CF Builder 2 Trial. I install in my machine I am running CF 9.01 Dev version.
    When I try install "Adobe CFC Generator" extension "cannot find ide_config.xml file"
    I try to find some fix. but I can't.
    Some Ideas thank you!!

    With ColdFusion Builder 2, CFC Generator was intended to be removed.However mistakenly, CFC Generator was removed only partially.
    If you want to use:
    Plesae download it from: http://adobecfcgenerator.riaforge.org/
    Or If you have ColdFusion  Builder 1 or ColdFusion  Builder 2 Beta installation:
    You can take it from <ColdFusion Builder 1 or ColdFusion Builder 2 Beta Install Dir>\extensions      and deploy it to your server instead of using the incorrectl installed CFC Generator.
    Thanks,

    That is usually caused by Firefox not unpacking the extension.

  • Cannot generate WSDL file with wscompile

    I get an error while generating the WSDL file using wscompile tool.
    my compile line is "wscompile -gen:server CRAWS.xml -keep" and I get a RmiModeler error with an ClassNotFoundException .
    I have put my jar file in the bin folder (same folder of wscompile) and I've also copied my service build files in the same folder (under the package subfolders).
    Here is the code of the xml configuration:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <configuration xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/config">
    <service name="CraWS_Service" targetNamespace="urn:com.servepath.cra/wsdl/CraService"
          typeNamespace="urn:com.servepath.cra/types/CraService"
          packageName="com.servepath.CraWebService">
        <interface name="com.servepath.CraWebService.CraWSIF" servantName="com.servepath.CraWebService.CraWS_Impl"/>
    </service>
    </configuration> 

    I'm new to Web Services so I'm just guessing, but perhaps you need to add -classpath lib/foo.jar;lib/bar.jar to specify where your class-files are.

  • Cannot generate AIR file when exporting from Xcelsius Engage 2008 SP1

    Hi,
    Xcelsius seems to go through the motions - "generating swf file" - but no AIR file actuallly lands in the specified folder in my c:\ drive. I have uninstalled and reinstalled SP! but the problem persists. I have the following already installed:
    1) Flex SDK  3.1 and  the file path to the root directory of the SDK is specified in the sdkPath.dat file.
    2) Java version 1.6
    3) Adobe AIR 1.1.
    Many thanks
    Michael

    Hi - I'm having the same issue with generating an AIR package from Xcelsius 2008 SP1.  My network environment is protected by a corporate firewall and proxy, so I suspect that there are internet resources that are not accessible.  I tried generating an AIR file while connected to my home network, and it worked OK (although, I couldn't access the data feeds on my corporate network). 
    Is there a list of internet resources that Xcelsius needs to access to produce the AIR files?
    Thanks

  • Generate xml source file for Oracle Order Capture Print Quote

    Hi,
    I am new to xml and need to work on creating templates for Print Quote.
    I am trying to generate the xml source file for which I enabled the report in system administrator and set the output to XML and assigned to Quoting Reports responsiblity. I then assigned XML Report Publisher to the same responsiblity.
    I ran the report (Print Quote) and then I am trying to run the XML Report Publisher but I cannot get the request id in the list of values.
    I am able to generate xml source file for other reports like Printed Purchase Order etc.,
    The view output for the (Print Quote) report is as follows:
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    - <!-- Generated by Oracle Reports version 6.0.8.26.0
    -->
    <ASOPQTER />
    How do I get the xml source file? Or are there seeded templates that I can use to create more templates? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ravi

    Hi, I am in the same position - did this issue ever ger resolved by anyone. I have done a few XMLP reports successfully now using the Word add-in, but customising the Quote output differs from other standard reports.
    If you look at the data definition for Quote it is a 'dummy' definition and has no XML file attached. Does anyone know how I can get the XML format for the report output?
    Also the template uses XSL-FO ?!?!?! rather than RTF - not sure how to work with this, the Oracle docs are not very helpful in this regard either.
    Has anyone successfully managed to customise the Quote print report? Many thanks,
    Roger

  • UPDATE : Toshiba Recovery Wizard 'cannot read from source file or disk' error (satellite L500)

    UPDATE 2: Phoned Toshiba tech support again, guided by techie to begin the recovery again. Just before phoning I was able to go into recovery options and view the drive setup and all the files that couldn't be read are on the CD so I've no idea why the error kept occuring, and neither did the techie. Fingers crossed it works this time but I'm not overly hopefully given that we've just done exactly the same as I did before.  UPDATE 1: I got into the BIOS and reset everything back to defaults and yay, my toshiba recovery wizard now starts! :-D  On the down side, when trying to do a factory default software / out of the box recovery I continually get error messages with regards to copying the files, for example 
    cannot read from source file or disk
    7z.dll
    Type application extension
    size 585kb
    date modified 7/14/2009 10.26pm
    other read / copy errors include PREINST6.SWM, BOOT_32, BOOTPRIORITY, CHECKMAXPTSIZE, CHGBOOT, CPU, CPUCHECK, CREATEPARTITION, CTRLDRVINFO, DISKWIPE, DMI, DPINST32, EBLIB.DLL, ERRORDIALOG, EW3BOOTSEQ, FWLINK, FWLINK.SYS, GETHDDINFO, GETKEYSTATE, IMAGEX, INFILED, INITRECAREA, KRAIADAPI.DLL ..... at which point I decided to 'skip all' :-/
    Any explanations as to what's going on and how I might be able to fix it would be very much appreciated! :-)  Thank you!
    I have a two and half year old satellite L500 with an Intel i-3 and 4 gigs of RAM, on which I was running Windows 7.
    Admittedly it’s had rather a hard life (I ran some very demanding CAD / graphics software on it) but it had always performed well until just recently, when after suffering several BSOD (which had never happened before), the hard drive failed.
    I partitioned and formatted a brand new hard drive (which is perfectly fine and functions normally when hooked up to another laptop with a SATA to USB cable) and obtained system recovery discs from Toshiba.  Unfortunately, when I try and run the first disc, windows starts to load files but then generates an error screen with the message Error F3-F100-0003 and a request to turn the computer off.  
    When I use the windows Memory Diagnostic to get into the Windows Boot Manager Screen I get the following;
    Windows failed to start.  A recent hardware / software change might be the case.
    To fix the problem
    Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer
    Choose your language settings and click ‘next’
    Click ‘repair your computer’
    File: \boot\memtest.exe
    Status: 0xc000000f
    Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
    I can also use F8 on startup to get into the advanced boot options but selecting any of them simply results in the F3-F100-0003 error message.  I’ve run a memory test using the UBCD, which tells me the memory is fine, and tried another hard drive (which also works perfectly well in another laptop) but no joy.  On phoning Toshiba support the techie said my hard drive had failed, but as I say, both hard drives are perfectly fine / usable when hooked up to another laptop.  I’m now completely stuck as to what the problem is and how I might resolve it – any advice / suggestions would be most gratefully received! Thank you in advance :-)

    Satellite L655-S5096
    Downloads here.
    the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM"
    My best guess is that the disc is not readable. Try copying it to another. Sometimes that works.
    Otherwise, order new discs from Toshiba.

  • How to preserve a background color, when generating a PDF file

    I am trying to create a PDF file from some application. Please note that the picture in this application has the black background. So I invoke a Print command and set a printer as "Adobe PDF". As a result, I have generated
     a brilliant PDF file of my picture, but on the WHITE background. When selecting the Adobe PDF printer, I have looked through all its settings ( in the Adobe PDF settings, I have found several tabs: General, Images, Fonts, Color, Advanced, PDF/X), none of them generated the original background color. 
    So how can a generate a PDF file, having the original background color (black, in my case) ?
    Oleg

    Now I feel that the background definition in the Adobe PDF printer and the background definition in the application the Adobe PDF printer is invoked from -- two different things. So I guess how can I define the black background in the Adobe PDF printer? I cannot find such settings.

  • Parameter issue - report not generating any pdf files

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to run a report which generates pdf files. Is there any limitation on the parameter string size? For one of the parameter values - '11F EA Accept nonhonor ASnSOMnSON_20091201090150846' the report is not generating any pdf files. I assumed the reason is of the keyword 'AS' in it and created another parameter value - '11F EA Accept nonhonor AnS-SOM-SON_20091202074331997', but it is also not generating any pdf files. I get this message from Adobe Reader " There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be opened because it has no pages. " The report is working normally when i hardcode the same parameter values into the logic. Any suggestions on this?
    Thanks.

    Tim,
    That report is working normally for all the parameter values, except this one. It is not working only if i pass the value - ''11F EA Accept nonhonor ASnSOMnSON_20091201090150846' as a parameter. It is generating the pdf files when i hardcode the same value into sql query logic in the data template, instead of passing it as a parameter. Please advise.
    Thanks.
