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
Urmi

Well if you use the Finder Go menu to Computer, a window opens up double click on your boot drive and then on Users folder, open the other user folder and open Public and drop your files into DropBox
When you do this it will copy them and change the permissions and user assigned to it, so log into the other user and place them into your respective normal folders.
Once you have all your files over and don't need the old user, use System Preferences > Accounts to delete it if you wish, however it's good two Admin accounts on the machine in case something bad happens in the other. Some people for security reasons on use a Standard account for most uses and a emergency Admin account.
One can still do most Admin things in Standard user.

You will need to use an external DVD drive to run the disc installer that came you your machine. You can also do it with another Mac using the Remote Install Max OS X app. Finely, if you have access to another computer, you could burn the install image on a USB thumb drive, boot from that, erase the drive and run the installer.

How do I send files from iPad to Mac book pro

Hi I am having trouble blue too thing my new IPad Air to my mac book pro?

That's be use you can't send files from the iPad to the Mac over Bluetooth without a third party app. This feature is not native in iOS.
You can email files, use DropBox or another cloud sync service, or use iOS File Sharing with iTunes. - if the app that you are using supports file sharing. There are also apps that let you mount your iPad like a thumb drive that will allow you to move files back and forth by connecting the device to the USB a port with the provided cable or by using WiFi as well.
it helps if you state what files you want to move, what app you are using, etc....details, details....

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.

Cannot execute Microsoft HTML Help file from within Eclipse managed app.

I took an easy solution and created a help system for a large Java application using the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop as the IDE. The Help System does exactly what the client wants, but when I tried to integrate it into the application I ran into a brick wall.
I wrote a very small Java app to see if I could execute the compiled help file (RAS_Help.chm) under the simplest circumstances. The code, which runs fine under VJ++ throws the following exception when run from Eclipse
e: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: RAS_Help.chm error=193

public class ExeTest {
     public static void showHelp() {
          Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
          String prog = "C:\\SCA\\RAS_Help.chm";
          try {
               rt.exec(prog);
          } catch (IOException e) {
               System.err.println("e: " + e);
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          showHelp();
I assume the problem is in launching .chm files, since if I change the program I want to execute from the RAS_Help.chm file to the Windows Solitare game (sol.exe) the program works like a charm with no errors thrown.
Can anyone give me some guidence on this? If it is impossible to run the HTML Help file I created, I'd be ammenable to redoing it in some other package, if that would guarentee my being able to use it in the client's large application.

Dynamically loading help file from standalone application

Hello All;
I have written into my VI an option to load a help file (.chm) from my main application using the 'Open URL in Default Browser.VI'. When I am in Development Mode, this works perfectly. However, after I have compiled my VIs into an executable, this no longer works (i.e. nothing loads). I am wondering if since the CHM file is not a default LabVIEW VI/LLB if this is where my problem is? I have attached a BMP which shouls what I am doing.
I did manage to get the CHM file to install with my application, but as mentioned, it will not load. I have also attached a bitmap showing my build properties for this.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The change required for path information is really not all that hard to understand. If you use something like Current VI's Path, it will return c:\folder\example.vi. When an exe is created, each VI is put into the exe which is really a type of llb file. To prove this, just change the extension to llb and you can view the contents just like like any other llb file. Then the Current VI's Path will return c:\folder\application.exe\example.vi. So, the extra strip path is required to get the folder name. Using the application property App.Kind in your program allows the same program to work in the development mode ans as an exe. It would be difficult for the app builder to automatically add a strip path because it be next to impossible to know what the purpose of the Current VI's Path function is intended by the programmer. You can also simulate the behavior of the app builder by creating an llb and testing all of your path's there before doing the build. Also, by default, the app builder does create a \Data folder but when you do the build, you can change where certain files get installed to.

How can I reference an external help file from context sensitive help at the control level?

My goal is to provide context sensitive help for each control displayed on the front panel using a help file created externally. I know that at the VI level I can specify a Help Path; I want the same behaviour for each control inside a VI. I also know about creating a custom control and specifying the Help Path in there, but it doesn't help in this situation, for I have hundreds of controls in my application and I cannot go back and replace each one with a unique .ctl. If I could override each instance of the custom control with unique path data that would do the trick, but that's not how it works.
Is there a way to add the Help Path information to regualr controls?

This functionality is not yet built into LabVIEW.
About all you can do is cut and paste the help for each control into the description for the control. It is tedius but a finite task.

Open a Windows help file from a Java application

Help!!! Final project due Wednesday. Our project was to re-create the Windows 2k calculator, which we pretty well did, with the exception of accessing the help file. I think I am close but not sure how to deal with the compiled HTML files that Windows uses for its help utilities. The following code makes the calculator itself pop up.
public void helpFilePopUp ()
try
String command = "calc";
Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
catch (IOException e)
System.out.println("Object not found.");
}//end of method
Thanks in advance A.

Maybe I didn't understand your problem correctly.
If you just want to start the windows help with the calculator helpfile then your command should look like
"WINHLP32.EXE c:\windows\help\calc.hlp" and not "calc".

How do I move files from a broken Mac Book to an external hard drive

I have a broken MacBook pro, the hard drive failed and I want to move the files onto an external hard drive. I know I can transfer the files onto the external hard drive by running the software on the external hard drive and accessing the files on the Mac Book, but I dont know how to do it.

How can you do that if the drive has failed? You cannot access a failed drive unless it is actually still functioning.
To access from an external drive you need to install the operating system on the external drive then boot the computer from the external drive. You can then access the internal drive in order to copy files and folders from it to the external drive.

Removing pictures and music files from my old Mac Book Pro

Hi I hope someone out there can help me with this question,
I have an older MacBook Pro with IOS 10.9.2 Mavericks I want to remove all my pictures, music and documents and put them on discs since my new MacBook Pro with Retina Display does not have a HDD and only has 125GB drive. How can I safely remove all my items unti a disc.

I'm not sure I understand the problem.
You need an external drive. You can store your documents on there, and then wipe the disk of the old MBP.
You can then access the documents on the new MBP from the external drive.
One other thing: you do already have a backup, don't you? A backup should be on a separate physical device from any other copy of your files. Make sure you have two copies of your files before deleting the originals on the old MBP.

How to call a help file from a WAD Template button

Hi All
I need to implement a button in a web template when I press the button it displays another HTML or text file it is mainly on help on the report.
I am just wondering how to store this HTML or text file in the system and what function to implement in the web template button ti display this text or HTML when the button is pressed.
Thanks
Karen

Hi Karen,
Please try this out:
With WAD 3.5 it's easy. You could use javascript function: window.open().
window.open("/sap/bw/Mime/Customer/.../file.htm","NewWindow","width=750,height=700,left=100,top=100");
Try using the SCRIPT Item in WAD 7.0. You can use the same code within the SCRIPT Item and call the function which has been defined in the Script Item, in the XHTML part of the Template.
It may help.
Or put the file in another web template and on click of a button, the new template opens up and displays the content of the file.
Not sure though if the latter one would be useful, its just a thought.
Hope it Helps,
Regards,
Amit

How to make an Excel file from Contacts in Address Book?

I'd like to save the contents of my Address Book in an Excel file. How do I do it. Address Book doesn't seem to export to a common SS format.
Thanks!

Build an Automator workflow that gets the Contacts you want (like Get Selected Contacts), then add a Get Contact Info and select the items you want. Set the Export format to Spreadsheet (tabs).
Then, add an action to create the new file (New Text Edit Document).

Cannot access help file from iPhoto

IPhotos cannot access iPhoto's tutorial from the apps help window. Apple diagnostics indicates my network is functional and passes diagnostics. iPhoto cannot access my wifi network. The message also says to check back later.
Howie

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
