Glossary in .chm file

Hi Everyone:
I'm using RoboHelp HTML, ver 8.0.2.208, with other users in a version controlled environment.
I have created a .chm file but the glossary and glossary tab do not appear in the file. I do have the glossary populated with terms and info but when I generate the .chm, there's no glossary tab and hence no glossary info.
I do have a glossary listed in the HTML Help Options-Microsoft HTML Help window before I generate but no luck with it appearing in the resulting .chm.
Any ideas? Thank you so much for any help/input. I really don't know what I would do without this forum -- it's been a lifesaver!

Hi there
First, check to ensure your Window definition has the Glossary enabled. Assuming it is, the next step is to try creating a new Window definition. Then configure the SSL to point at the new definition. If that still doesn't coax it to show, try creating a new layout. Just right-click in the SSL pod and choose to create a new layout.
Don't copy the layout as it would be like cloning a cow with a birth defect. You would likely bring the birth defect right into the clone! Best practice is to create it from scratch.
Keep us updated on your progress... Rick

CHM-File: Glossary is not showing HHActiveX.dll does not work

Hi guys,
I'm sorry, I know the problem's been diskussed a lot. But I still have the problem, that after generating my CHM-File the glossary tab is empty. I already tried registering various HHActiveX.dlls i found in robohelps installation directory.
I tried registering them by using %windir%\system32\cmd.exe and %windir%\syswow64\cmd.exe.
The dlls I tried to register are:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 9\RoboHTML\HHActiveX.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 9\Redist\HHActiveX.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 9\Redist\x64\HHActiveX.dll
I tried to register them all together and i tried to register only one at a time.
The funny thing is, after generating and opening the file directly out of robohelp, the glossary showed up once. After closing and opening the same file, the glossary was again empty.
I am using RoboHelp 9 on Windows 8.1. 64-bit.
Is there a chance to get that CHM-File to work?
Thank's in advance.

Thank you for your answer.
Sorry, I forgot to mention, when I was registering the dlls by using cmd.exe in the system32 directory and the syswow64 directory, I was typing "regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\HHActiveX.dll"
Also I have been using the cmd.exes that are located in system32 and syswow64, each time using the "regsvr32 <path><dll-name>"-command. The cmd.exes where executed with administator's rights. Isn't that the same procedure mentioned in your link?
I was trying to have both the 32-bit-dll and the 64-bit-dll version registered at the same time and lateron for troubleshooting just one of them at a time. (now that I come to think of it, is it even possible to register two versions of the same dll at a time?)
I'm starting to get really confused.
Which Version of the DLL do I need to register by using which of the cmd.exes/regsvr32-versions?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 9\RoboHTML\HHActiveX.dll > in system32\cmd.exe oder syswow64\cmd.exe?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 9\Redist\HHActiveX.dll > in system32\cmd.exe oder syswow64\cmd.exe?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 9\Redist\x64\HHActiveX.dll > in system32\cmd.exe oder syswow64\cmd.exe?
And does the dll have to be in the directory of the regsvr32.exe while registering? Does it take a reboot for the effect to show?

Browse sequence buttons not appearing in RoboHelp 9 .chm file

When I first created this project two years ago, I didn't think I'd be using browse sequences. Well, of course, things change, and now I think it would be a good idea.
I followed the instructions for creating a browse sequence automatically (Tools > Browse Sequence Editor, then Auto-create from TOC). That seemed to work.
I compile the .chm file. No >> buttons.
How do I enable them? I looked at the master page layout and didn't see anything there. I looked at the Project Settings (File > Project Settings) and couldn't see anything there.
I've searched the RH 9 help and can't find any reference. My guess is that they must appear automatically and I must have, in my infinite wisdom (HA!) deleted them two years ago when I thought I didn't need them.
Suggestions?

Hi, MM Acton
Allow me to chime in with my esteemed colleagues. The first issue I see is that you do not have a Window Defined. You need a window in order to select the Browse Sequence Option for the CHM.
In Project Set Up create a new window, selecting Microsoft HTML Help as the type
On the Microsoft HTML Help Options Dialog, give the Window a name such as "CHMWindow" (No spaces)
Be sure to "tick" the Browse Sequence option and click OK
Double click the Microsoft HTML Help Single Source Layout to bring up the HTML Help Options dialog
From the Default Window drop down, select the CHMWindow you created
Save and Generate
This will show the browse sequence "icon avenue" (the showy icons at the top of the CHM)
As for the Citrix thing. If the machine hosting the CHM being viewed has the HHActiveX.DLL installed, the CHM should display as advertised. Tell your Admin that Adobe licenses unlimited re-distribution of that DLL.
You can find documentation on this redistribution license and how to register it in the online help:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11aff59c2a0-7f49.ht ml
Here is the path where you will find the DLL itself:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 10\Redist
BTW, the reason the DLL was created in the first place is that Microsoft never provided a Browse Sequence or a Glossary tab in their "out of the box" offering so RoboHelp conveniently provides this to authors as a "extra".
Hope this helps

Browse sequences for CHM files?

I spent a bunch of time setting up a browse sequence in HTML
Help but to no avail. Although the docs don't say it, I believe
that you can't have browse sequences in CHM files.
Am I right?

Hi Fuzzie
Hopefully Colum will please pardon my observation.
HHActiveX.DLL isn't part of Windows. It is a redistributable
file unique to RoboHelp HTML. It is owned and distributed by Adobe.
It contains the programming that makes Browse Sequences and the
Glossary Tab function inside compiled .CHM files. The intent is for
the help author to redistribute the file and no payment to Adobe is
required as a result.
Cheers... Rick

How to add search tab in the .chm file

Hi All,
All these days, I was using RH -5 to create the .chm file. Today, I moved onto RH -9. The chm file had the Search option enabled automatically in RH-5. But in RH-9, Glossary option alone is available and I am not able to add Search tab adjacent to the Index tab. Please refer to the screenshot for more clarification.
Please help me to solve this as the client would expect Search tab for sure.
Regards,
Lata

Hi Lata
What you are showing in your image is a mismatch. The tab says Glossary but the contents of the tab show Search.
I think in this case I would suggest attempting to define a new window with the attributes you need. Then configure that window as the default for the layout you are using.
You define the window by:
1. Ensure Microsoft HTML Help is the default layout.
2. Click View > Pods > Project Set-up and you should see the windows there.
Cheers... Rick

Index in .chm file is incorrect

Hi,
I'm using RoboHelp X5 with Windows XP SP3. I have an index that is correct in RoboHelp but not in the .chm file. In RoboHelp, I have General Ledger as a keyword and several sub-keywords. However, in the .chm file, the sub-keywords show up under General Ledger Journal instead of General Ledger. I've attached screen shots of both at the bottom of this post, and I've pasted the applicable section of the project's .hhk file. (The .hhk file is really long, so I didn't want to insert the whole thing.)
While troubleshooting this issue, my coworker changed the keyword from General Ledger to General edger, and that fixed the problem, but obviously we can't keep it that way.
I tried the following:
Compared that section of the HHK file to others. I may have missed something, but it looked OK to me.
Started the project, deleted the HHK file, and then saved a change to the index so RH regenerated the HHK file.
Deleted the .cpd file.
Deleted and reentered all of the keywords.
When the issue first started, the General Ledger subkeywords appeared under Future Periods instead of General Ledger Journal - I'm not sure what I did to change that, but I think it was when I deleted and then reentered the Future Periods keyword.
Unfortunately, none of these worked.I saw another thread with a similar issue where the solution was to create a second index and copy the keywords to it, but I don't think X5 allows a second index.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi there
Are you using any Build Tags along with a Build Expression to control the output?
I ask because the screen capture of the CHM seems to intimate that General Ledger is absent from the list. If it was linked to a topic and the topic was removed from the build, it would seem to make sense.
Cheers... Rick

Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.

SUMMARY
Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
.chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
PROBLEM
1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
file?”. The buttons that are available are
“Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
program event is played (the “Windows XP
Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
Other Notes:
- The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
“View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
HTML project.
- Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
- A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
(iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
WORKAROUND
Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
following steps:
1. Leave the .chm file open.
2. Open Internet Explorer.
3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
the “General” tab.
5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
click the “Delete Files…” button.
6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
“Delete all offline content” and then click
“OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
Files” dialog box closes.
7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
Options” dialog box.
8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
will now work.
GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
- Windows XP Pro, SP2
- Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
- RoboHelp X5, 5.0.2 Build 801
- HTML (.chm) help project files exist on my local machine
- HTML (.chm) help file is run from my local machine

- “Amount of disk space to use” is set to
“594” MB
“View Files…”
- An XLS or DOC file will be listed here if I click its
hyperlink and then click either “Open” or
“Save” from the “File Download – Security
Warning” dialog box.
- A file will appear here even if I click “Save”
and then click “Cancel” from the subsequent “Save
As” dialog box.
- If I click “Cancel” from the “File
Download – Security Warning” dialog box, the file does
not appear in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
- When a file does appear in the Temporary Internet Files
folder, its Internet Address is displayed similar to the following:
“ms-its:C:\PrimaryProjectFolder\ProjectName.chm::/SubFolderName/FileName.xls”
“View Objects…”
Here’s a list of all the program files that appear:
- “Microsoft Office Template and Media Control”
(Last Accessed 12/13/06) (Version 12,0,6024,0)
- “Shockwave ActiveX Control” (Last Accessed
12/14/06) (Version 10,1,4,20)
- “Shockwave Flash Object” (Last Accessed
12/18/06) (Version 9,0,28,0)

- “WUWebControl Class” (Last Accessed 12/13/06)
(Version 5,8,0,2469)
Today is 12/18/06 so the only program file that is listed as
having been “Last Accessed” today is the
“Shockwave Flash Object”.
REQUEST FOR HELP
I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.

This could be a Launch Services issue. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.
BTW, if you’re running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), as your profile indicates, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.

Link to a pdf page on web from a chm file

Hello,
I'm using RoboHelp 9.0.2. I'm trying to create a link in a chm file to a specific pdf page using a URL. The link I am using is http://www.actuarialstandardsboard.org/pdf/exposure/ASOP_No27_second%20exposure_2011.pdf#p age=41
I put the above line in my chm file. It appears correctly in the URL project list and shows correctly when I choose Show. It also apeears to be correct in the HTML code of the page.
However when I create the chm clicking on the link just brings me the start of the pdf file. After clicking on the link in the chm file and explorer opens, the URL in explorer does not show #page=41. It ends at.pdf.
Am I missing something or does anyone kno whys this is not working?
Thanks
John

Hi there
That link doesn't even work for me when I paste it into the address bar of my Firefox browser. It does work in IE, but not in Firefox. In Firefox it opens the PDF generically.
I tested in a CHM and it did try and link, but it presents a black page. Looks like the correct page, but it's blacked out.
CHM files rely upon elements of Internet Explorer to display their content. So perhaps it's something specific to a certain version of Internet Explorer as well as a certain version of the Acrobat Reader.

As far as I know it's used when you've combined more than one source into the final help file. It is possible (though I don't remember doing it) that I did that once a couple of years ago but now I'm only using one source - the project that's generating the .chm.
Can anyone tell me how I can remove it?
Thanks
Tom

In Project Setup look at the Window properties. I think you will find Advanced Search is ticked.

How can I create a link from a CHM file to a webhelp file?

How can I create a link from a CHM file to a webhelp file?
The CHM output (accreditation.chm) is stored in a parent directory, and the webhelp output (index.htm) is stored in a child directory.

Open the usual Link dialog and enter the relative path from where the CHM will be installed to where the webhelp will be installed.

Call specfic file in CHM file

Hi All,
I have created .chm file. Now I want to open specific htm file on press of F1 on the form. How do I give the path ? I am using following code to call chm file:
If pVal.MenuUID = "275" And pVal.BeforeAction = True Then
                If SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm.TypeEx = "ChkRdo" Then
                    Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo()
                    psi.UseShellExecute = True
                    psi.FileName = "C:\Documents and Settings\Harish Patil\Desktop\Checkbox and Option button\ChkOpt\ChkOpt\New_HTML_Help.chm"
                    Process.Start(psi)
                    BubbleEvent = False
                End If
            End If
This works fine but call the main chm file. How do I call specific file?
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sheetal,
If u want to open a different file depending on the Form Type and if u dont have many different form types the i guess u can use the following code snippet.
If pVal.MenuUID = "275" And pVal.BeforeAction = True Then
If SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm.TypeEx = "ChkRdo" Then
Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo()
psi.UseShellExecute = True
psi.FileName = "C:\Documents and Settings\Harish Patil\Desktop\Checkbox and Option button\ChkOpt\ChkOpt\New_HTML_Help.chm"
Process.Start(psi)
BubbleEvent = False
ElseIf SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm.TypeEx = "ChkRdo" Then
'Past the above same code with a different file name
End If
End If
like that u can open different files, or if u have name different files and forms.. then its better to use the Case statement instead of the If clause.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Vasu Natari.

Script error when viewing CHM file

I recieved this error message when attempting to view the page in a CHM file that contains a Captivate demo:
The demo was imported to FrameMaker and the FrameMaker files are live links in RoboHelp to make the CHM. Captivate and FrameMaker files reside on network, and RH project is on local drive. I cannot get rid of the error message by selecting either yes or no, so I can't navigate any further in the CHM file.

Check this link out for some possible solutions.
