Hyperlink issues when importing Frame files into RoboHelp 10.
When I import a Frame file into RoboHelp 10, the text preceding a hyperlink is also mangled with the hyperlink in the output.
For example,
The following online file supplements the information in this guide. Release notes are available on the Support site at
https://support.example.com.
How do you prevent the text that precedes the link from being munged together with the link?
Shuba
Have you placed the hypertext marker within a character tag?
If there's no character tag, then the para, and not the phrase, is your active hypertext area in FM and all electronic output.
For more info, see p511 of my book.

Issue when importing ai files into Flash
Okay I have an Adobe Illustrator CS4 file that I am trying to import into Flash CS4. The file is fine in illustrator, it's just when it comes into Flash that it has problems. Namely, it doesn't render the shape correctly even though the subobject profile path is correct. See attachment. We're really zoomed in here, the shape itself isn't much larger than 10px square.
I've deduced that it is a scaling issue, but don't know how to get around it other than redrawing the shape again in flash. It's not like flash has an issue with tiny elements, it seems to have an issue with elements drawn at a larger scale in ai and then scaled down, be it in ai directly or in flash after import. There is a threshold in which it no longer wants to draw the shapes correctly anymore, as if the curve handles are being ignored and it's merely trying to draw a straight line. Again this same file if brought in much larger renders properly, it's only when it has been scaled down previously that it becomes confused.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get around this problem?Are you running the latest version of Flash CS4 (I believe it is 10.0.2)? I don't have CS4, but I think I recall that something similar came up some months ago and the solution was to install the latest update for Flash CS4.

Adobe Technical Communications Suite - Importing Framemaker Files into Robohelp
We have just started using the Adobe Technical Communications
Suite to import our Framemaker files into Robohelp. (We have about
a year’s experience of taking Framemaker files into Web Works
Publisher, with good results so we were hoping for a similar
experience with Robohelp).
Please can you help us with the following two problems:
1. Importing FM files into Robohelp has posed some immediate
table formatting problems. We imported the FM files by reference
according to the instructions but cannot format the tables, ie.
Colors etc.
2. Can you also tell us if there is a way to set up our
graphics in Framemaker to import into Robohelp without first having
to run them through a batch file scenario to change the size for
online help. Also, can you explain why the imported graphics are
being put into separate folders in Robohelp – is there a
system option where we can stop this from occurring.
We are a little frustrated because we are long-time users of
Robohelp and Framemaker and are finding some of the new features of
TCS are not as helpful as we first thought. I am sending these
questions after spending several hours going through the Robohelp
Help and the Adobe website and not finding the answers.
Thanks for your help,
Asra S.I have purchased the Technical Communications Suite and am
working with it now. I am finding several short comings in the
product – 60% great product and 40% not so great. I have been
using FrameMaker and RoboHelp for about 11 years and also I am a
Webworks (ePublisher) user. I was expecting (at a minimum) to have
the same functionality as ePublisher in TCS - ePublisher works
seamlessly with FrameMaker. Quadralay worked with me the first
month to answer my questions to ensure I was pleased with the
product - and welcomed/appreciated my feedback. In some cases they
provided me with scripts to accommodate my needs. I am finding on
message boards and forums that a lot of users as very disappointed
with your product so far. Are there any plans on
improving/enhancing the product to accommodate our basic requests?
The standard answer we get concerning graphics and tables is
to use conditional text. This is not single-sourcing and is a
horrible recommended work-around – a hack if you will. We use
conditional text to handle differences in program functionality. I
understand there is some set up required when you create a new
project in RoboHelp, but after that I would like to run the Batch
File process to simply generate my newly updated FM files to online
help. How efficient is that? VERY!
I have provided a list of the basic missing
functionality/oversights that would greatly improve the product and
satisfy a lot of your current users. Some of these issues may be
user misunderstanding and in that case I seek guidance on what
I’m doing wrong. Take the other issues into consideration
because these are not just my issues, but a TON of your users.
Hopefully you are user focused and are as concerned as we are.
Please welcome this feedback as a way to improve the product.
- No Breadcrumbs supported with MS HTML Help - supported in
your other outputs and is available in ePublisher, so it must be
possible.
- Table formats are not configurable – why? Sometimes
the converted table format from FM isn’t 100%.
- Imported file structure (folder for each chapter) totally
hoses my fix to poor graphic rendering. Currently I use a batch
file to run a Photoshop macro/action on my graphic source files to
reduce the file size by 50% and sharpen. I replace the graphics
with my graphics and they look marvelous in online help. I copy my
source graphics back into my “graphics folder” imported
into FM at 260 dpi for my printed docs. Can we have the option on
the structure for imported FM files to put them all into one
folder?
- Text entered into the Auto numbering field is not converted
when importing by reference. It is when just doing a straight
import. This is used for standardizing my inserted tables with
pre-populated column titles– Troubleshooting, If/Then, etc.
- Too many CSS issues. It would be nice to have one main
template that we can sync to when the master template is changed.
- Can’t specify a default template to apply to all FM
files when imported.
- My output .chm file is not picking up my Project Settings.
It will not display Favorites, My Window Size, it’s not
showing the TOC.
- Cross-references – sometimes they work and sometimes
they don’t.
- Markers – we use markers for glossary terms and the
character tagging carries forward throughout the rest of the
sentence.
I started testing the product four days ago and these are the
major issues that are keeping me from moving forward with my
overall plan to move to structured FM. I’m now between a rock
and a hard place because now my department does not have the
software to do their job. Do I go to management and tell them that
I made the wrong decision in my tool selection? I choose your TCS
over the updated Quadralay ePublisher that works with FM8…
Maybe they went up on their price because the knew their former
users would come back and be willing to pay the increased price for
their software that generates online help with just a click of a
button.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your help
in advance. Please direct these concerns to those in charge of
enhancing the product (Product Evangelist). A reply and technical
support is greatly appreciated.

FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?
Hello. The link FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?
does not work, and i need the answer please. My imported MTS clips are not playing back audio because it seems that no audio imported with the video. Thanks, Don.Hi there
Audio plays when the object with the audio assigned appears. This is why you hear it when the Button appears.
Try assigning the audio instead to the object that appears when you click the button. Perhaps the caption.
Cheers... Rick

Import InDesign files into RoboHelp HTML
Hello,
My company is moving toward online help. We currently use InDesign to author our manuals and then export them to pdf for publication. I've been on the phone with Adobe trying to see if there's a way to easily import InDesign into RoboHelp. We're on an older version of RoboHelp, so I'm told this is possible, but I can't get any help until we buy RoboHelp9. I know that we can import our pdfs into RoboHelp--I'm just wondering if there's a way to import InDesign files directly into RoboHelp. Has anyone tried to do this? Anyone have any suggestions? It seems these two programs should play nice together, doesn't it?
LouleyHi there
To my knowledge it is not possible to accomplish. I've been using RoboHelp since 1992 and I've never seen it done.
The only way I can fathom it working would be if InDesign could save as an HTML page. Then import the HTML. Or possibly produce a PDF from InDesign, then import that. But even importing the PDF may not give you the results you want.
Cheers... Rick

Trouble getting audio files when importing R3D files into CS5.5 Prem Pro
Importing R3D files into Premiere Pro CS5.5 works for Video but the audio doesn't convert properly. There is an audio file included in the R3D file that PP can see but it just has a few spikes.
This same file played in REDcine-X plays the video/audio just fine. Is there some audio setting in Premiere Pro that I should be setting?
Oddly enough if I use REDcine-X to output a RED Trim file and then import it into PP, the audio file is shown separately and is imported correctly. This of course involves a file conversion step in the workflow and a step that we are hoping to avoid.In order to import all kinds of r3d, we had better convert it to adobe more compaitble video format like dv, mpeg, avi
You may refer to the following step by step guide on how to convert .r3d movies at Convert R3D to ProRes, MOV, AVI, MP4, WMV, 3GP, MKV
The guide applies to:
Convert R3D to ProRes 4444, 422, 422 (HQ), 422 (LT), and 422 (Proxy) to fast import any version of Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Pro X.
Convert R3D to MOV, MP4 to import R3D to iMovie for easy editing or to play R3D in QuickTime, iTunes, iPad, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV.
Convert R3D to AVI, WMV, MPG to edit R3D in Avid, Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, Windows Movie Maker or play R3D in Windows Media player, Xbox 360, Microsoft Surface.
Convert R3D to FLV, WebM, H.264, MP4 for upload R3D video files to YouTube
Convert R3D to DV, VOB, ASF, SWF, RM, 3GP, OGV, FLAC, OGG, MP3, WAV, WMA, AC3, AIFF, WMA and etc. -
Problems when importing multiple files into key frames
I'm creating an interactive flash application that uses hundreds of individual renders from a 3d modelling app. The image file size is 800 x 600. Each sequence that i import to the stage is around 120 images and each gets put into a separate key frame. The problem is, often when I import batches of files into flash the program crashes and stops responding. The problem gets worse after each succesful import ie. after importing the first lot of files, its unlikely that the second lot of files will import.
Interestingly, I dont have this problem on my pc. So I can do all the importing on my pc, but when I try and compile the swf file my pc does not create a file and sometimes crashes. So I am having to import on my pc and compile the swf on my mac.
Anyone else having similar problems? is there a better way of going about this?flash is limited to 16,000 frames.
use several swfs and load them into a main swf. -
Importing .htm files into RoboHelp project
In my project in RoboHelp, when I go to File > Import > HTML File… to add a .htm file to my project, it locks up on me instead of providing a directory listing allowing me to select files to add to my project. The only way to get out of it is to go to the Task Manager and killing the process.
Hi there
Your use of "The Vault" would seem to most certainly describe some form of a Source Control system. Source Control systems offer a combination between a Librarian and a Traffic Cop. Typically you log into these systems with a user ID and a password. That way the system knows who you are.
Typically with these systems the data resides on a coroporate network. And also typically you will have a "working folder" on your hard drive where the files exist. When everything is checked into the Source Control system, the files on your hard drive are flagged as "Read Only".
When you need to work with a file, you perform a process of checking out. The Source Control system then changes the Read Only status of the file on your hard drive to Read/Write. But it also makes a note of the date/time stamp. If the file stored in Source Control is newer than the counterpart on your hard drive, it copies the newer file to your hard drive before allowing you to make changes.
I'd begin with a simple sanity check. Create a totally separate and new project. Add a topic or three. Add an image. Generate. Do things work okay? If not, you have some form of issue with RoboHelp that needs to be resolved before you attempt to troubleshoot what is happening with your project in Source Control.
Perhaps try copying the content from Source control to a different folder and see if you are then able to make edits.
Hopefully something here either helped directly or sparked a thought that does.
Cheers... Rick

Issues with importing word docs into robohelp 10
I currently have an issue when I try to import a 'saved as: 97-2003' or 'MS Word' doc or docx into Robohelp 10, I receive the following error:
Any assistance with this would be appreciated.

PS...
With regards to the error statement: "Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer"? I have Microsoft Office 2013 installed (and not the student or home version). "I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed", so to speak but I would think that Word 2013 would pacify the requirement of MS Word 2000 or newer...?
Thanks.
Message was edited by: Words2TechnologyThe message is wrong in terms of the version specified. It is correct though that you do not have a supported version as Word 2013 is not supported.
Subject to licencing, you can have both 2010 and 2013 installed, then run 2010 before doing anything where Rh needs to talk to Word.

Issue when importing web service into CTI Aspect ECS server
Hi Experts,
We have an SOAP to ABAP Proxy interface in our production XI system.

CTI ASpect system consumes the web service exposed by XI system.
recently we edited the web service in XI system. when we try to import
the web service (WSDL file) into CTI ASPECT system , it generates an
XML parser error.
has any one anyone faced this issue earlier.please let me know how this issue can be resolved.

Video distortion when importing MOV file into Premiere Pro
On my mac my premiere is having issues when I import .Mov files. I was shooting on my Canon 70D DSLR at 30frames and when I import files the playback breaks up and is distorted at various points. It doesn't seem like all the files are doing this only some of them have this problem when they are imported. The footage was all shot under the same settings in the same 3 hour period. I tried exporting files and the distortion is still present in the exported media file. I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like.
Interesting that it's on the same frames ... have you certain effects that would impact those more than others?
Also ... only 8Gb RAM, sounds like one internal that's pretty much stuffed, and footage on an external ... PrPro runs a ton of crap through both the CPU & the GPU (depending on what you're doing and how much it "likes" your GPU/Vram) and also writes massive files to the database, media cache, and through the CPU use the OS's system cache typically. You've got a LOT of readin'/writin' going on, and with only 40Gb free there's not a lot of free space for things to be just parked for random access in a moment or two.
Also curious ... what's the connection to the external? USB2 or 3? Thunderbolt? eSATA?

No audio when importing mp4 files into iTunes.
Since recently, whenever I import an MP4 of M4V file into iTunes, it either deletes the audio, or the video becomes shocky.
When I play the same files in VLC they do work. That is great and all, but since I use Apple TV I need them to work in iTunes.
I've tried to delete and re-import the files. I've also tried to download different versions of the same files, which also didn't work.
To me it seems like the problem lies within iTunes.. but I'm not really a computer wiz.
Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.Does your friend have EXACTLY the same computer software and hardware?

Loosing D300 Picture Control settings when importing RAW files into CS3!!
Hi there...I would really appreciate some help!!
I have recently bought a D300/Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 which I love, however, I'm getting increasingly frustrated by either my lack of knowledge or some form of compatibility issue between the D300 and CS3!!
When importing I am loosing all the RAW Picture Control settings!! - e.g. If I shoot using Picture Control "Monochrome" CS3 rips out all of the settings and returns the RAW image back to the default camera settings!! It doesn't seem to be the D300 as Picture Control settings are retained when viewing the RAW images on the camera's screen.
Camera: D300/firmware - default install
Computer: MacBook Pro Intel 2.4Ghz/2Gb RAM | Operating System: OS X 10.5.4 (9E17) | Software: Abobe CS3 with CameraRAW 4.4.1 plugin (also tried beta 4.5 but to no avail!!)
Thanks in advance!!I am trying to open a NEF file (RAW format) from my card with PhotoShop CS3 and it does not work. These photos were taken with a Nikon D300. A window appears and the message read as follows:
"Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
Could someone help me?
I have searched the online material and I have not found a solution as of yet.
I have no issues opening JPEGs taken with a D300 and I can open NEF files that were taken with a Nikon D200...
I appreciate your help.
