Displaying an interactive document as a topic

The help program I am developing needs to be interactive so
that when monthly information is changed in a file (Word file if
possible) it automatically updates in the topic. I need it to be
displayed as the topic, not as a link upon which a person clicks,
and is taken to another page.
I can't find any help in the help file for doing this with
text. Can this be done?
Thanks for your help!
Steve

Welcome to our community, Steve
You could maybe accomplish it with a Redirect Topic.
Basically you would create a topic that redirects itself to the
Word document when clicked upon.
What we don't know at the moment is the output type. If you
are creating .CHM files, you would need to ensure everyone shares
equal access to a common location and store the Word document
there.

  • Interactive document exported as swf navigation problems

    I created an interactive document, exported as a swf file. Each page has an animation build, text fade in, images slide in etc. When I navigate to the next page, it displays the completed build, reloads and plays the animated build. When I navigate to the next page it does the same thing again. I want to be able to navigate to a page and view the animation from the beginning not see the completed animation first. Any ideas what could be the problem?

    It´s a bug. Start your animation from outside of the page area or if you have to start it from some visible place, create a mask that covers your animation´s starting point. Then use a timing panel to start your animation by fading the mask away, then proceed to the actual animation. If you have white background in your page, mask can be a simple white rectangle.

  • Exporting interactive document to PDF

    Hi, I just exported my interactive document (CS5) to PDF (interactive) and ticked include all buttons and media. When the PDF opened no behaviours worked and the PDF was much bigger in pixels then it was made in Indesign. any help appreciated. thanks.

    Bob is correct. That's the way the iBooks app displays EPUB files. PDF files are not displayed that way in iBooks or any PDF reader.

  • BSP for Creation and change and display of the documents in SAP R/3.

    Dear All,
    In SAP R/3 system, the documents can be maintained using the T-Codes CV01N, CV02N, CV03N for creation, change and display of the documents. Users is allowed to access to these transaction using the BSP application. The BSP page would be used to enable access the T-Code CV01N, CV02N, CV03N and allow uses to carryout the functionalities of check in and checkout of the document and the object links.
    do i need to replicate all these T-Codes in BSP application?
    If anybody hv done this...pl suggest me and give me the code.
    Thanks & Regards

    if you want this out of BSP, yes you have to code all of them there is not easy way.
    but if the idea is to webenable these transaction and you dont have much time/resource to do it , easiest way is to go with ITS. downside of this is that you dont have much control over look and feel.
    If you are on WAS6.40 or above your application server comes with integrated ITS and enabling the same is quiet simple.

  • How to create a button in a interactive document and use the button to launch and external "exe." file.

    I created an interactive document and will export as a swf.  I would like to create a button in the interactive document to launch and external "exe." file. Is this possible.

    You will need to create custom web part editor. Look at the following example. It also have added button and its events. I am sure you can use this sample as base and code your logic.

  • Placing buttons in a region displaying an Interactive Report

    Hi,
    I have a page on which I am displaying an interactive report.I would like to place buttons on this region where the report is displayed-
    - The first button right of the search bar of the interactive report
    - The second button right of the first button.
    - The third (exactly ) below the second button (still right of the search bar)
    I am aware that if this where an HTML region,then I would have had the flexibility to place the third button in a new line without a problem,but can I achieve this in a region displaying an interactive report?
    Is there any way to do this?
    Regards,
    Priya Jetley

    Create the buttons as region buttons in the IR region, with the following properties:
    Button Position: Right of Interactive Report Search Bar
    Button Alignment: Left Right
    Enter *style="display: block; float: right;"* in the Button Attributes of the third button.

    Hi All ,
    I would like to display a word document in the Output .
    I cheked the demo application 'ZIOS_TEST_SIMPLE_MS' , but i am not able to see the Word Document in the output.
    Do we need to do any settings or configuration to be done to use these controls ?
    Thank You ,

    You might want to add a browser layer over your flex
    application and let the browser manage the file types. I personally
    use the HTML component from

  • Can't display archive change documents for agreement (COND_B)

    Hello,
    I want to display archive change document for object class : COND_B (agreement) via transaction MEB3:
    The archive works fine, and I can found the archive change documents form SARA.
    (Archive Objetc = CHANGEDOCU
    Archive info structure = SAP_CHANGEDOCU2 (is active))
    But the display from the application transaction : MEB3 doesn't work.
    In the DEBUG:
    the Function module is called automatiquely: COND_B_DISPLAY_DOCUMENT
    THEN SUBMIT RSSCD100
    THEN The function module is called with the no parameter READ_CHANGEDOCU (ie with space value)
    THEN the program reads only from DB
    Question : HOW I oblige the program to read from the archive  (READ_CHANGEDOCU = 'X') ?
    I checked these SAP notes 1050935,1299903, 1308024, 1128954, 1050335
    but no results.
    May be I forgot some customizing ( SARA,, AOBJ )?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    As I understand, the change documents archived using the CHANGEDOCU archiving object are no longer available using the application object.
    Refer to Notes 1257133 and 140255 where they mention the above point.
    If you want to read change documents along with the application, then you must first archive the change documents along with the application.
    In your case, for agreements, you should use object SD_AGREEM so that the change documents also gets archived along with the agreements. Refer to note 761281 to check whether the archiving class CHANGEDOCU is already defined along with object SD_AGREEM in your system.
    Hope this helps,
    Naveen

  • Display word/pdf document in the HTML region or report

    Hi,
    How to display blob content stored in a table in HTML region or report region.
    I already have a process to display the image content.
    But my question here is how to display word/pdf document within the html region so that the user can read the document without downloading it.
    Any suggestions/solutions would be of great help.
    Thanks in advance...
    Thanks,
    Ramesh P.

    I was dead wrong.
    The display of images from BLOB is a special case because APEX provides a Display Image item type.
    Moreover, HTP/HTF packages also do not provide for handling of BLOB content. So AJAX cannot be used.
    Which implies that the only way to get binary content, other than images, is with the use of a WPG_DOCLOAD.DOWNLOAD_FILE call.
    This in turn implies that it may not be feasible to "inject" the BLOB into an exist HTML DOM in the Browser.

  • Links in Interactive Document

    Hi All,
    I created an interactive document in InDesign CS5 that I exported as a .swf and inserted it into a html based webpage.  I would like the buttons I created with url actions to open the url in the same broswer window and not in a new broswer window.  Is this possible in ID CS5 and if not how can I get it done.
    Thanks in advance and if I was not speicific enought please let me know.

    Two things...number one, when replying by email, your response goes to the forum on the web. For your own good, delete your personal information. I've done that for you this time.
    Number two, I would guess that yes, you could do this in Flash. You might want to visit the Flash forum and ask there.

  • Display a PDF Document from a standard transacction

    Hi.
    I need to display a PDF document located in a server outside SAP. The idea is to implement a menu exit and add a new button to a standard transaction. When the user press the new button a PDF document must be displayed.
    I want to know if this solution is possible and if you know any function in SAP to display a PDF document.
    Thanks.

  • FlashHelp deployed in RH7 displays 404 page error instead of topic

    I upgraded some help projects from RHX5 to RH7.
    In MAC (OS 10.5.x) Safari (3.2.1), when the application calls the FlashHelp authored in RH7, the Help opens, but the Help topic does not display. Instead, a 404 Page not found error is displayed. If you click a topic in the TOC the HTML content is displayed - so the Help does work after you select a topic.
    From the same application, if you call a Help project that was not upgraded to RH7 (but was still authored in RHX5) the topic content opens as expected (you do not get the 404 Page error).
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    The only resolutions I found so far are:

    When I submitted this issue to Adobe support I received a call stating that they do not support JS application calls to Help systems generated in RH. If you can open the topic (that is an individual html topic file) independently using the browser, apparently they consider that generation successul and the browser to be supported.
    Just musing over the reply here. It's odd that they would say that, giiven the fact the WebHelp API *IS* a JavaScript application call, is it not?

  • Interactive Document (PDF) where the video works on iPad

    Has anyone been able to use video in an InDesign interactive document (CS5.5) that works on the iPad? I tried using the mp4 format but it still doesn't play on the iPad (it doesn't even show up in the document). I'd love to be able to create a document that works on the iPad too.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Dave

    Honestly, I don’t do a lot of interactive PDF work and this is one of the reasons. I feel the same way about EPUB.
    Way too many variables and quite frankly not enough money in it (for me) to justify it.
    End of Rant.
    On the Mac, are you trying to view it in the Mac’s Preview app? If so, switch to Acrobat or Reader.
