Creating a help document

I want to create a PDF document that is like a help document that you would open in Preview. What I have in mind is the Final Cut Pro user manual, which has the drawer on the right side with the huge entire outline that is collapsed and makes it really easy to navigate. Is there a way to create a document like that in Pages or some other program?
Dual 2.7 GHz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Hello Patrick
Pages doesn't seem to convert tables of contents to the indexes that you like when exporting to pdf's. If you do get info on the Final Cut Pro user manual it will probably tell you what program was used to create it which may be of help.

  • How to create and assign a help document to INFO button on ALV grid

    Hi All,
    Can somebody tell me how to create an 'END USER DOCUMENTATION' document and the 'FUNCTION MODULE' to call it and display in the form of F1 help screen.
    OR
    Is there any standard method to call & display a help document, when the user clicks the INFO(i) button on the ALV grid standard toolbar?
    Thanks in advance.
    Rkumar

    Hello Rkumar
    If you have defined a documentation for your ALV report which you want to display when the INFO button is pushed you can use the following coding:
    CALL FUNCTION 'DSYS_SHOW_FOR_F1HELP'           
        EXPORTING                                  
             DOKCLASS           = 'RE'                                          " = report
             DOKNAME            = '<name of your ALV report>'
             SHORT_TEXT         = 'X'              
        EXCEPTIONS                                 
             OTHERS             = 1.

  • Steps to create help document

    Hi All,
    I have developed set of new pages in OAF. For my pages i need to give the help documentation. I have seen the seeded pages and developer guide also.

  • How to create a new document type for PO and Requisition

    Hi All
    Can you please help me with the steps of creating a new document type for PO and PR. Also the steps that need to be update for the procure pay cycle to work properly. 
    Once the document type is been created. I want to create the PO referecing the new PR and PO document type.I am new in MM.
    Thanks, Ros

    Hi,
    1. You can create new PR and PO docu types at the following path:
    For PR docu type:
    First you need to create number range for docu type or you can use existing number range also. The path for creation of no. range is
    SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Define Number Ranges
    Then create PR docu type at below path and assign no. range to PR docu type here only
    SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Define Document Types
    For PO docu type:
    Follow same procedure as mentioned for PR docu type. Path is
    SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->Define Number Ranges
    SPRO>Materials Management>Purchasing->Purchase Order->Define Document Types
    If you want to create PO referencing new PR docu type, link the PR docu type to PO docu type at below path:
    SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Define Document Types--> Link purchase requisition - document type
    Regards

  • Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document.  I have CS3

    Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document.  I have CS3 Web Premium with Acrobat Professional 8.  I use it fine on my old computer with Windows XP.  I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7.  I installed all my Adobe programs, and I think they are working.  When I look at Adobe PDF in the device section of the Control Panel it looks okay.  But when I try to print a Word, Photoshop, or HTML page in PDF, nothing happens.  I have tried printing both as File>print and using the PDF tab on the top menu bar.  I look at the device in the control panel and it has the yellow error warning symbol and suggests trying to troubleshoot.  I look at the document list and it says status "error".  When I try troubleshooting Windows suggests doing some Home Sharing and also suggests canceling the document I'm trying to print.  I tried re-installing just Acrobat 8 from CS3 (and have to use Photoshop CS4 disk for shared documents I guess).  I ran into a can't locate adobepdf_dll file, so did a web search on this issue and found a suggestion that I find and use the adobepdf_dll_64 file and may have to (I did have to) remove the "_64" for it to work.  I think I successfully reinstalled using that dll file- no errors came up anyway.  But still when I try printing/converting a photoshop, webpage, or word document into pdf, the pdf device in control panel still gives the error status on the document and gives the same troubleshooting advice.  Help?

    I just compared the properties between the two computers.  On the old computer it has the port as "My Documents/*.pdf".  On my new computer it lists the port as "LPT1".  I tried changing the port to "Print as File", but when I try printing a photoshop picture as pdf, I get a "Access Denied".  I then tried to create a new port on the device control panel.  I tried to create a local port "My Documents/*.pdf" port but was denied.  I ten tried to create a new port type and control panel asked for an INF file.  I wonder if this is where my problem lies.  Thoughts?

  • LSMW me51n, how to create one PR document for all the records in the  file

    HI all,
    I need to create LSMW for t-code me51n -Create Purchase Requisition. I`m using Bapi BUS2105, method CREATEFROMDATA, idoc message type PREQCR, basic type PREQCR03. The problem is that the LSMW is creating different idoc and different PR document for every record in the source file. My requirement is to create one PR document for one source file (Every source file is different Purchase Requisition) . I`m trying to do this with writing some code(global functions ) in the 'Mapping and conversion rules'  events - BEGINOF_TRANSACTION_, ENDOF_TRANSACTION__..., but i`m not very sure what exactly i`m doing .
    Please help me resolve this problem, any help will be appreciated .
    Best regards, Emil Milchev.

    Thank you for you answer.
    But I have found faster way of doing it - two source structures, one HEADER and ONE ITEM.
    HEADER: one empty text field and identificator for it.
    ITEM: everything else.
    Then everything was just fine, i`ve mapped the different IDOC segments by PREQ_ITEM fields (equal values in the source file : 10-10-10..., 20-20-20,.... etc.) and put all required fields for my LSMW

  • Create a new document in Sharepoint Document Library/OneDrive on iPad/Safari

    Hi,
    My users are having trouble creating a new document from OneDrive in Safari on their iPads. The screen goes grey like its going to show the popup to select the new file type, but the popup never comes up. If they clear their cache, it works for exactly 1
    time and then goes back to this behavior. I'm not exactly sure if it worked before and/or when it stopped working. The iPad I have tested was at the latest 8.2 version of IOS and my Sharepoint farm is an On-Prem install of 2013 with SP1 mark2. My WAC farm
    is also 2013 SP1.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi,
    I understand you are suffering the issue when create a document in Sharepoint Document Library/OneDrive on  iPad.
    According to the official article
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161353.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396, the version of your iOS should be in the supported list. I guess the issue may start after you installed an update, and if there is any other version (low versions)
    of iPads in your company, please use a different version device to test the issue.
    Meanwhile, to determine whether the issue is related to your SharePoint environment, I suggest you just to register an Office 365 trail account, and test the issue with SharePoint Online. In case the same issue happens with SharePoint Online, the issue should
    be related to your client device, and my next suggestion is to contact support of your device manufacture.
    Once you need any help from SharePoint end, please don’t hesitate to come back, and we are always happy to support you.

  • Creating a new document

    I created a new help project and I want to divide the project
    into different doc files: Ihave my general project "tas" but Iwant
    to have beside my Tas.doc in this project also tasintro.doc and
    tasbasic.doc. When i want to create these new documents I get
    always the message:
    "Robohelp received Word error 537. If you continue to get
    this error, contact macromedia for technical support".
    I have recognized that Robohelp generates the rbh file but
    could not generate the doc files.( because it could not find them).
    I have tried the same at the PC of a colleague and it works.
    Is there something wrong with the settings of Robohelp or
    what could be the reason for this?

  • Creating a new document using XQuery

    Hello everyone,
    I wondered if there was a way to create a new document using XQuery. What I am trying to do is to run a query on XML file and try to print the results in HTML for viewing purpose.
    The HTML is spitted out on DOS prompt. Instead I wanted to write that HTML to a file on disk. Is this possible with the XQuery tools provided by Oracle?
    Thanks in advance for all the help

  • Creating a new document on the fly?

    Is there a way to create a new document when adding a hyperlink to an existing document, directly from the 'insert hyperlink' menu in CS5?  I've googled, i've looked through the help, and can't seem to find anything.  This feature existed on Frontpage 98, so I can't imagine it can't be done in a Dreamweaver version 15 yrs newer . 
    I'm in an existing document adding text and I want to add a link to a new page..because as I'm typing I realize a new page is in order.  In frontpage a million years ago, I could choose 'insert hyperlink' and one of the options was to 'create new page', so it would insert the hyperlink and create a new blank page at the location specified in the link, named based on what I chose when creating the link.  Then later, I could go back and edit that page to add the appropriate content.  It's incredibly inefficient to have to create the new page first, and then go back to the document and add the hyperlink
    If this doesn't exist, is there a way to add a custom command to the right click menu or the create hyperlink menu?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    In my workflow, I create all my site pages first.  When I'm done, I create my site wide navigation inside the main template.dwt file and populate changes to child pages.  Or, I put my site wide navigation inside a server-side include.

  • Creating a new document with columns and printing effects

    If you create a new document and set columns into it in the new document menu, and then subsequently create images, tables, text etc. in the document that are bigger than one column (that stretch for example across the entire page), will the part of the image that's in the gutter print and/or show up if it's saved as a PDF?

  • Creating a new document with separate images

    Can someone help me create a new document that has two separate images. I can create a new document but don't know how to place two separate photos in the document. For instance create a document that is 8.5 x11 with two images each 8.5 x 5.5.

    there is a number of ways to do this. also reading the manual to get a basic understanding of how Photoshop works will do wonders. Another method of learning is lynda.com
    here is one way.
    1 make a doc that is 8.5 x 11 at whatever resolution you need.
    2 use a guide as a center point.
    3 open the two pics you want to use.
    4 make sure they are the same res as your 8.5 x 11
    5 drag the layers from the open pics to the 8.5 x 11
    6 crop and size the pics in the file so they fit in each half
