Creating help files from PDF

I am evaluating RoboHelp as a possible way to create help
files (probably will end up being .CHM files). We'd like to be able
to go from the files used for our printed documentation, which are
generated using LaTeX and output as PDF files. We use LaTeX to
create the PDF files because there are a lot of math symbols in the
docs that no other program seems to handle as well, and I don't
know if RoboHelp will be able to do the job without a lot of manual
cleanup--I've tried a few other programs and the results were not
pretty. Anyone else had success using RoboHelp for their help files
doing something similar?

Welcome to the forum.
For anything like this I would strongly recommend that you
download the trial version. It is a very simple matter to create a
project and import a PDF to see whether the result is what you
want.

Using Acrobat XI MAC, unable to create Word file from PDF. Tried a simple PDF as well as a complex file. Neither can be created.

Using Acrobat XI mac. Why can I not create a Word file from a PDF? Tried some remedies offered online, i.e. convert to PDF X4:2008 then try to convert to the Word file. No go. Advise.

Hello,
I have tried 3 PDFs: one with only text - created in Illustrator(CS5) and saved as a PDF default, and the second which was a complex form of text and scanned images created in QuarkXpress and saved as a PDF for print purposes. The third file was a simple PDF offered online to solve problem.
Each attempt was to create a Word file. Each received the same error message: Save as failed to process this document. No file was created.
Thank you in advance.

Howto make created folders/ files from one teacher, read only for other teachers?

Hello there,
as an admin @ school I was wondering how to make created folders/ files from one teacher, read only for other teachers?
- In a 2008domain, created a group "teachers"
- created a folder "teacher data" where all teachers have read/write permissions
ideal,a teacher who make's a folder in "teacher data" should be the only oen who is able to add file's to that folder and dele that folder or files. Other teachers may be able to read the content of the folder.
Is this possible to set up and how?
many thanks.
Nico.

Hi Nico,
You could set the permissions below to resolve the issue:
For the root folder "teacher data": give the full control permission to CREATOR OWNER – "Subfolders and files only" and give the read/write permissions to the group "teachers"– "This folder only".

When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How can I solve this problem?

When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How do I solve this problem? I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

Dear Sara
Thank you very much for sending the converted file. Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful). I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK". However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before. I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images. Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian." Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
Regards,
Judith.

Creating INDD file from INX and visa versa

Hi
My task is to create a inx file from indd file and that was easy. I just use
var myDocument = app.open(File(sourceFileName));
//save INX
myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_INTERCHANGE, File(destinationFilePath+".inx"));
but my problem is that I now have a more that one INDD file and one INDB file and client ask me to make INX file from it.
(I;m just a developer and I never use InDesigner application at all so is it possible? and how?
and than I have to form INX file create INDD file , text file and all Linking files in Links folder.
I found a
var myDocument = app.open(File(sourceFileName));
myDocument.packageForPrint(myLinkFolder, false, true, false, true, true, true, "", false);
but problem is that I got only INDD file and for some reason the newly create INND file has a name undifined_1.indd (I found that this is a file name that script foud from INX file ?!?) LInks file is empty.
Is it possible that he create package and put all eps file there !?!

I'm a designer not a developer, so I'm not sure I'll be helping but the normal behavior when opening an INX file is creates an untitled .indd file. This is is typical. I'm not sure how you would automatically rename back to what it was previously. Have you tried packaging the indd file BEFORE you make the INX file? Also InDesign has the ability to embed the images in the file or link them to external files. You might check to see if that is done, by checking the links pallet. Unfortunately I'm not following what you're starting goal and end goal is. I'll be helpless with the programming end, but any questions regarding how InDesign would typically do it, I'm happy to help with.

I paid to convert a file from pdf to Word doc. and it is unintelligible. Why ?

I paid to convert a file from pdf to Word and it is unintelligible. Why ?

Hi M & B P,
Please give the following a try:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, log out, clear the cache, and then log back in.
If you're converting from within Reader, choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version.
Please let us know how it goes. If you're still having problems, please let us know how you're converting, what browser you're using, and whether you're on Mac OS and Windows. We'll do some deeper digging if need be.
Best,
Sara

Help files from a structured Frame book

Has anyone successfully generated help files from a
structured FrameMaker book. When attempting to generate Help from
my structured book, my CPU pegs out at 100% and doesn't move from
there. I'm not sure if my problem is my laptop, the way I
structured the book and files, or something else.
Thanks.

Hello Vivek,
I posted this sometime back in the forum, sorry about the reposting.. but I am hoping that you will have some answers.
I need to create a chm file using content from a Structured FrameMaker file- in other words, single source from Structured FM to RH.
My source file is a structured FM 9 document. When I import this into RoboHelp, I believe RoboHelp can pick the style information from Structured FrameMaker files and enable the style mapping. (http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2007/10/single_sourcing_from_framemake .html).
However, I am not able to figure out the settings required in RoboHelp to enable this mapping.
Is the above possible?
Best regards

Cant generate my help file into .pdf format

Hi All
I cant't generate my help file into .pdf format for printed documentation. My .pdf option is not enabled. How do I get it enabled? I am on version 8.
I am following the instructions in help.
thanks
Caryn

Peter,
Please find my comments inline:
If I understand you coIf I understand you correctly, any of the Acrobat 8 or greater versions can generate a PDF with the comments feature. Correct please?
Absolutely!
That means that one person must have a paid for version of Acrobat, ommenting cannot be initiated by users of Acrobat Reader, the latter only enables you to comment on a PDF that has been created in a paid for version. Correct please
Yes, the commenting has to be inititated or rather the person with the paid version installed has to assign rights to the reviewers. Only then the assigned persons will receive emails in their inboxes that the document is set for review.

Creating HELP files

how do i create HELP files in java & how to invoke it on a button click?

Hi,
you might want to look into the JavaHelp technology too. Sun offers a complete API for using help from Java applications or applets etc. See http://java.sun.com/products/javahelp for details.
To author complete help sets in JavaHelp format, you could use an application such as HelpExpert, available at http://www.calcom.de/eng/product/hlpex.htm

Creat VOB files From FC Pro Timline or Compressor

Is it possible to create DVD VOB files from the timeline of FC Pro or Compressor?
This is feature that is available in Edius, is there anything similar in FC pro or Compressor?

Hi,
There is no direct way to create VOB files from FCP nor Compressor but you may use DVD Studio Pro.
1- Export your sequence from FCP using "Export via Compressor..."
2- In Compressor, drag from the settings tab a setting that suits your needs (ex :Apple>DVD>Best Quality 90 minutes)
3- In DVDSP import the resulting files (m2v and ac3) in the" ressources tab", drag those 2 files in the "track 1" icon of the graphical tab, right-click and choose "first play".
Then, you just have to buid a project (ie a VIDEO_TS folder containing your VOB files) using Option-Command-C (File>advanced burn>build)
Hope it helps.

Created help file either won't open or opens blank when emailed or copied for another user to see it.

Created help file either won't open or opens blank when emailed or copied for another user to see it.
Our HR person made a help file she wants to email to someone or copy to a network share.
-If she emails it the other person cannot open it.
-If she copies it even from her desktop where she saved it to the folder with all the other files, it opens blank.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think they must be swapping out .html for .chm in DW or something. What the OP describes sure sounds like what happens when you do that.
@dfiore27101
DW doesn't support .chm file types. Adding the extension doesn't compress the images into the file to create a true .chm.
Adding .chm will make a perfectly good .html file stop displaying in DW though.
An easier way to send someone .html help files would be to archive their folder as a .zip then email the .zip. The recipient would then need to extract the archive to view the files in their browser.
I don't know of any way to create real .chm files in DW.

Create Executeable File From .class

Hi All,
I want to create executable file from .class. Is there any solution so that it should create only windows Dependent executable file so that it has to use windows DLL for all api calls.
Regards
Srikanth Addepalli

What he is saying is you will want to make your
.class -> .jar first. from here you can implement a
variety of tools like
http://www.excelsior-usa.com/articles/java-to-exe.html
http://www.regexlab.com/en/jar2exe/
http://jsmooth.sourceforge.net/
Those are all free however this one isn't
http://www.bestvistadownloads.com/software/t-free-jar2
exe-standard-edition-download-lmdepovu.htmlThanks for Reply.
But Every software you specified here is indirectly using the Java virtual Machine for execution.I need a software such a way that i should run without help of JVM.
