Hyperlink issues in Converted Project

I've just recently upgraded to RoboHELP Version 8 to get a better results on the the full text search in WebHelp (the output of our choice). The conversion appeared to go great and I've been happily working away on new content.
As our developer is still changing screen names etc in the development cycle of a new product, I have been using variables for all screen names so that I only need to change the value in one place when they come up with yet another U-beaut name for the screen. Quite often I would also insert a hyperlink over the variable to another topic.
Unfortunately, when I had to revisit one of my existing topics I've found that any hyperlink that has been inserted on top of a variable in a table or drop-down seems to have been lost. This means that nearly 75% of my hyperlinking has gone west!
Has anyone else experienced problems in this area?  I did try searching to problems with Version 8 which brought to light a couple of other little issues that I'll keep an eye on but couldn't see any queries about variables and hyperlinks.
Regards from sunny Brisbane (Queensland, Australia).

Hi Kathy
Indeed sometimes working with variables can seem pesky!
My initial thought pattern upon reading your issue was that RoboHelp 8 supports formatted variables. This means that your variable may contain a hyperlink. w00t!! Then I had a big ole Homer Simpson style D'OH! moment and smacked myself on the forehead as it occurred to me that if you did that, it would certainly work and preserve the hyperlink but ALL instances of the variable would share the same link destination. And that's likely not the case, eh?
I just tested this action with my version 8 and found that RoboHelp HTML seemed to work fine to place a hyperlink over a variable. I closed the topic and reopened and it left things intact. I closed the project and reopened and it left things intact.
Naturally this causes questions to be begged:
How exactly are you creating the links?
How exactly are you testing to see that the links are failing?
Cheers... Rick

  • Issues with Converted Project

    Hello,
    We have an HTML project that was written using RoboHelp 7.
    The Primary Output/Layout is Microsoft HTML Help (.chm file). Our
    office recently downloaded a trial version of RH 8 and we tried
    opening the project with the new version (yes we have backup copies
    of the project!). Upon opening the project and checking it over,
    we've noticed odd problems with the color of the hyperlinks
    changing without selecting them (all of the hyperlinks and
    bookmarks appear to change to the default purple color in a topic
    by clicking on another topic and then clicking back to the first
    topic), and little red square boxes appearing where a Shift/Enter
    was used.
    My concern is that the project had had to be rewritten when
    we got RoboHelp 7 and converted from RoboHelp 4. At the time, when
    we first opened the project in RH 7, we found corruption in text
    and bullets that were gigantic. After trying to correct/resolve
    these issues without success, we made a decision to recreate the
    project from scratch.
    Can anyone shed some light on what is happening or what we
    are doing wrong? We've not had this problem with our Webhelp
    (Primary Output Layout) projects.
    Thank you,

  • CS4 CS5 converted project = audio error

    Anyone come across this:
    I have a project that was converted from After Effects CS4 to CS5, that shows the following strange behaviour in CS5:
    The comps contain layers that consist of AIFF audio files. When doing an audio preview (.) or a RAM preview, the audio does not play the part of the AIFF file that, according to the time-code, it should play. It starts where it should, but then suddenly it skips a few seconds to another part of the AIFF. All that while the red indicator bar suggests it is still playing lineair as it should (the red line does not "skip" to another point.
    This leaves me with an unworkable situation, as it is quite unpredictable which part of the audio will play right...
    As far as i can tell this behaviour only happens with a converted project (CS4 > CS5) in After Effects.
    But when I started a new project in Premiere Pro I got the same skipping audio with a totally new project!
    Converted back to CS4 for now.

    The After Effects CS5 (10.0.1) update is available:
    http://bit.ly/9ex5Cf
    This update should address this issue. After you've installed the update, please let us know whether it works for you.

  • Setup issue in oracle projects - classifications link(standard link) is missing in oracle projects page

    Hi Team,
    I have a setup  issue in oracle projects
    I am unable to find the classifications link in oracle projects page.
    Navigation : Go to any projects responsibility-->search for the projects-->click on project -->click on setup Tab : At the bottom of the page, we can see some standard links along with UDA's.
    Here one standard link Classifications is missing.
    Can anybody guide me what setup we need to do get the link.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    The classifications link is not appearing in your Project's Setup page because, Classifications must have been unchecked in the Project template from which your project has been created. You can find the Project template information by clicking on the Additional Information link in the same Project -setup page. Once you check the classification flag in the concerned Project Template, all future Project creations made out of this template would have the link enabled.
    But for the current project, classification link cannot be enabled.
    Rgds,

  • How to display Issues for the projects which user can view in the Project Center View

    Hello All,
    In the project center view, at the bottom, we need to add one table, which can show the Issues for the projects that are displayed in the project center view.(Projects visible to the current user).
    Example: A resource 1  can see the Projects Project 1, Project 2,Project 3 in the project center view. So resource 1 should be able to see all the issues that are entered against the Project 1, Project 2, Project 3, irrespective of the issue that has
    been assigned to any resource.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    You could simply edit the page and add the risks and issues webparts. This will display risks and issues assigned to the user.
    Click on edit page, then add webpart. In the Project We App section, pick up the risk webpart and then the issue webpart. Finally drag them to the bottom of the page and close the page.
    Hope this helps,

  • Getting 'Out of memory' error while opening the file. I have tried several versions of Adobe 7.0,9.0,X1. It is creating issue to convert PDF into TIFF. Please provide the solution ASAP

    Hello All,
    I am getting 'Out of memory' error while opening the file. I have tried several versions of Adobe 7.0,9.0,X1.
    Also, it is creating issue to convert PDF into TIFF. Please provide the solution ASAP.

    I am using Adobe reader XI. When i open PDF it gives "OUT of memory" error after scrolling PDF gives another alert "Insufficient data for an image". after clicking both alerts it loads full data of PDF. It is not happening with all PDFs. couple of PDFs are facing this issue. Because of this error my software is not able to print these PDFS into TIFF. My OS in window7*64. I tried it on win2012R2 and XP. Same issue is generating there.
    It has become critical issue for my production.

  • Convert Project vs New Project / Import

    Hi,
    I currently have both PP CC 7.2.2 and 2014 8.0.0 installed on my Win 7 Pro machine, both of which have been running smooth and I personally haven't experienced and issues with 2014 8.0.0 - yet.
    Over the last several versions of PP since about CS5 or so I think, I keep occasionally seeing messages where a user might have opened an existing project file that PP has "converted" to a new project file and might have performance issues. I often see responses where someone will say "Make a new project and import the old one"...or something to that effect.
    Over the last few days I have let 2014 8.0.0 convert some of my existing 7.2.2 projects files. I would then do various test exports, work in the project, etc.
    I then created some new 2014 8.0.0 projects and imported the 7.2.2 projects, and again, did the same test exports, etc.
    I can't really find a difference or see a varying performance difference in either of the project files.
    So my question is this....What is going on "under the hood" so to speak when the new(er) version of PP converts an existing project file (no matter the version number) to the newer version of PP versus creating a new project file (in the new version) and importing the old version?
    I have hundreds of project files and I always like to convert them to the current version of the software so after several versions pass I don't get the "project is too old to convert" (which has happened to me in AE before).
    So I am debating should I just let PP convert them or is there a benefit / performance difference to creating new project files and importing the old ones?

  • Hyperlink issue in Smartform PDF

    Hi  All,
               I am facing below issue with Smartform after it converted to PDF. The PDF file has below link
    (http://www.vocakiri.co.uk/_assets/media/StandardTC3_(including_REG_31_Requirements).pdf) in footer window.
    But when i am selecting the hyperlink it is getting truncated as "http://www.vocakiri.co.uk/_assets/media/StandardTC3_" .it opens window with truncated
    web address which leads to error.
    could you please let me know what is the problem or is there any note need to be applied.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Prasanna B

    Hi Prasanna B,
    See thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/1819587.
    You can try using the callback method described in the following Notes:
    622718 - SF Web Forms: Callback for the URL format
    707931 - Web Forms: Incorrect URL address with the HTML output
    You can get a different title of the link by using a kind of user exit for the URL processing, which is described in Note 622718.
    You must create your own function module with the following interface:
    *"  CHANGING
    *"     REFERENCE(DATA) TYPE  TTXCTOKEN
    Data: i_data type STXCTOKEN,
    (see note 622718; TTXCTOKEN is an internal table of type STXCTOKEN)
    Now when you call the function module of the Smart Form, you should fill the parameter OUTPUT_OPTIONS-URLCALL with the name of the new function module. As a result your function module is called, when the URL is processed by the Smart Forms composer.
    This method allows you to use a shorter alias for a longer URL link.
    Regards,
    Aidan

  • Image hyperlink issues in PDF creation using Acrobat 9.0

    Hi All,
    I am using Acrobat 9.0 Professional for creating a PDF of a web site hosted on my local IIS server. All the web pages contain:
               1. A single large image and some description text.
               2. Few hyperlinks mapped to the various areas/locations of the image. The hyperlink is visible when user moves the mouse cursor to that specific area/location on the image.
    These hyperlinks work correctly when the web page is viewed in any browser but when the web site is converted to PDF, we observed the following problems with the image hyperlinks:
         1. The hyperlink area (rectangular) on the image is shifted from its original position.
         2. The hyperlink area (rectangular) on the image grows bigger than its original size.
    (The original position and size here means the position and size of the hyperlink as on the web page respectively).
    Surprisingly these issues do not occur if a PDF is generated of the same web site using Acrobat 8.1.0 Professional.
    I searched the Adobe website for any service pack/updates that could resolve this issue in Acrobat 9.0 Professional but could not find any.
    I will be really thankful for any help provided.
    Regards,
    Santosh.

    In my case it's with .puz files, which are crossword puzzle files used by sites like the New York Times and read by the application AcrossLite. I went into preferences and tried to change the action for the file type from "Save File" to AcrossLite but it would not take. Set it instead to "Always Ask" and then in the dialogue box selected AcrossLite and "always do this" and it gave an unknown error.
    This is FF 4 on a Mac.

  • Hyperlinks missing after converting Word 03 docs to PDF using Acrobat Pro 9.

    I'm having an issue when I convert a Word 2003 doc using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to pdf that the hyperlinks are disappearing.  I've had success with this in the past but for some reason now the hyperlinks never carry over or show up in the pdf.  I also have a good amount of bookmarks making up a table of contents within my word doc that aren't making the conversion either.
    I've spent a few hours thumbing through options in both the pdf printer and word as well as searching online with no luck.
    Kind regards,
    Tim

    Alright, I've got link creation process working again.
    However, now I have another technical issue with how the links are being handled.
    My work has an Intranet site that these Polices and Procedures are being accessed from (http://is-intranet/policiesandprocedures/).  For some reason when you open one of these forms on our Intranet site and click one of the embedded links (that are linking to another one of the Policy and Procedure PDFs) it's adding extra text to the path. i.e. open 2.01 Employee Handbook when I click a link embedded in that form to http://is-intranet/policiesandprocedures/3.01 Technology Usage Policy it's adding an extra is-intranet to the beginning of the path http://is-intranet/is-intranet/policiesandprocedures/3.01 Technology Usage Policy causing it to not open.
    I cannot seem to prevent this from happening.  Now, if I go through the form and look at the link it's correct and if re-link it to the other form everything works fine and the path of the link in the PDF doesn't change.  But now the link works correctly when opening the forms from our Intranet Site.
    It's a very confusing issue.

  • Weird problem when converting project for 23.976 to 25

    We are doing this on a batch of episodes (Just changing the play speed no interpolation.) But basically when we do the conversion some times between the 3 and 4th minute it copies the first frame of the project and pastes it over a frame in the output. It's only like one or two frames. Any idea why this is. It's not a big problem it's just a weird ghost in the machine thing.

  • Issue when Converting RPC styled Webservice to Document Styled Webservice

    Hi All,
    My requirement is to create a Document style WS using Jdev10.1.2 and deploy it in the OAS server 10.1.2 which follows J2EE1.3 standards.
    since jdev10.1.2 does not have inherit option of developing Doc'Style WS,
    I created a RPC Styled Webservice using Jdeveloper10.1.2 and converted it into Document styled webservice by changing the WEB.xml file in the WS project.
    The link from which i learned the changes is given below
    http://radio-weblogs.com/0132036/2003/12/07.html
    PFB the changes made in my WEB.xml file.
    <servlet-class>oracle.j2ee.ws.StatelessJavaRPCWebService</servlet-class> to <servlet-class>oracle.j2ee.ws.StatelessJavaDocWebService</servlet-class>.
    I deployed the WS in the OAS10.1.2 server successfully.
    Now the ISSUE is when im invoking the webservice. It is failing with the following error.
    Error parsing the WSDL for this endpoint.
    javax.servlet.ServletException: WSDL Generation exception: Error: method HelloWorld -- cannot use document style binding when output requires encoding
    how to solve this error ?
    If any one came across this error.
    pls help.

    What does the registry key you installed ?
    If you want to get rid of the save dialog box, you can try to use the VBA code.
    Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    Me.Close savechanges:=True    "close and save changes, don't ask".
    Me.Close savechanges:=False    "close and don't save changes, don't ask".

  • Real time critical issues in  Implementation Project

    Hi friends
    Please send  me the *Real time critical issues in  Implementation and Development  Projects*
    Thanks

    Hi
    Blue Print: Assume the client is already having sound legacy system in place.
    Also assume that all the processes in FICO are neatly documented with visios.
    Now study those process flows and prepare a list of sub processes.
    Now prepare the fits/gaps/ assessment.
    If the process fits into SAP it would be a fit. If an enhancement / modification is required, it goes into the red column.
    Record all the discussions with the core users against each process and sub process.
    Also list down the dependencies for each process / analyse the integration aspects.
    Also plan how you would convert the legacy data into SAP.
    The whole document should have illustrations / scenarios and ultimately signed off. This at any cost should not be changed unless, there is a total turnaround in the process requirements.
    With the finalised blue print, you could start the activities in the implementation.
    Now regarding the interview questions:
    - Starts with your resume. How you have projected yourself. Have you shown real time experience or faked up projects. In any case, it is very easy to make out whether you have experience in implementation or support environment. You could never fool the interviewer.
    Initially the interviewer would try to make an assessment on your genuinity.
    - When did the implementation start?
    - When did it GOLIVE?
    - Were you involved in the end to end implementation or was it a partial role?
    -If you are supporting the client, who implemented SAP?
    - What tool do you use to track the support activities?
    - How many tickets have you handled so far?
    - Name some critical issues which you resolved and without which the production or business got affected?
    - What is the system landscape ?
    -Have you developed any reports / enhancements / technical / functional designs?
    - Are you aware of interfaces / ALE / IDOCs ?
    - Are you aware of SLAs
    - Rate yourself on a rank of 1 to 10 in FI and CO
    - How often have you interacted with client during implementation / support?
    - What process designs have been prepared by you?
    - How do you react when you get a critical issue or cross modular issues?
    And so on and on
    Hope this helps
