Importing PDF to robohelp not working

Anyone know why a PDF file wouldn't import into robohelp 8? I've tried saving it into different formats, but still no luck.

Hi there
In my own experience sometimes PDFs won't import because of the manner in which they have been created. For example, maybe the PDF is protected in some way? I've also seen PDFs that were "too complex" for RoboHelp to import them and I had to fiddle with the different ways of importing the content in order to make them come in.
In the worst case scenario, you can always leave the content as a PDF and just add it to baggage and create a link to open it up.
Cheers... Rick

Import of photos is not working. Moreover 'photos' app is not getting closed, it says 'closing all libraries'. Even it is stopping shutdown/restart of my mac.

Import of photos is not working. Moreover 'photos' app is not getting closed, it says 'closing all libraries'. Even it is stopping shutdown/restart of my mac.

Next time you open the photos application hold down both of the keys suggested and then launch the application in the usual way. If you do this you will be presented with the opportunity to repair your library.

I need to know how to stop this from happeing and get it back to the way it has been working he last 6 months since i purchased this program.

Hi pissedadobeuser,
Does this issue occur with any particular web page?
Are you able to print the webpage to 'Adobe PDF' to convert it to pdf.
Which Browser version, OS version and Acrobat version are you using?

PDF Portfolio does not work with iOS Reader 11.3.2 on iOS 7.1.2

Well this is upsetting. I created a PDF form with several pages of the same form (it's a travel log).
My hoping to use Adobe Reader to complete the form and save back as a week at a time won't work.
I created the form using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS5.
Does anyone know if a PDF form in a Portfolio should work with Adobe Reader on the iPad2/
Also, what can I use that works with forms as a portfolio?
Ken

Ken,
please could you describe your workflow. It might help to find some solution. Also it would be great if you can share a sample of your document. Please email it to [email protected] with the reference to this discussion "PDF Portfolio does not work with iOS Reader 11.3.2 on iOS 7.1.2"
thank you.

Pdf object postMessage not working in FF 22

Hi,
After updating my FF to 22, i seen pdf object postMessage function does not working. We used adbove livecycle intraactive pdf forms to collect the data from the user.
When user click the save button from the pdf, postMessage function called, but after update this not getting execute.
For your reference i include the URL which also had the same problem. I also tried without addons.
Refer: http://www.windjack.com/WindJack/Browser2PDF/brwsr2acroJS.htm
HTML to PDF => works
PDF to HTML => not working (in earlier versions it worked)
Thanks n Regards
Mathan

This is likely the fault of Livecycle Interactive. Most likely, Adobe has not yet provided an update for supporting Firefox 22. I would recommend informing adobe support about it.

Import job RSI_IMPORT_CCMS_JOBS is not working in Redwood Cronacle

Hi,
We are facing problems in the redwood cronacle, where in the standard import job RSI_IMPORT_CCMS_JOBS is not working. When ever we are running the script, the status of the import job goes to waiting and never gets completed. When its killed and re-run it again moves to waiting status.
Cronacle version : 7.0.4.2. Hope some one will help me out to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Arun Raghavan

Hi,
as mentioned by Anton in his previous post, the import of abaps and variants is a kind of nice to have that CPS does for you. The import of abap and variant data enables CPS to create a Script with the defaults all set and ready for you to submit. Having this data in CPS also means that when you submit your CPS SAP Script the parameter values for instance,client, abap,variant will only be a valid combination. If you remove the Script Parameter constraints for your CPS Script then you can submit your own Script (using a copy of RSI_ABAP_RUN or RSI_ABAP_RUN_PRINT but with the param constraints removed) with whatever values you like. If you enter a valid combination the SAP job will run. If invalid you'll get an error when trying to submit in SAP. Obviously the parameter constraints ideally are there to prevent this second scenario.
In terms of why the import of variants seems to hang; you haven't got variants begining with '&' have you? CPS doesn't like these 'dynamic' variants. I have had problems in the past where this is the case.

Simon

I'm trying to add album art to a CD I imported but it will not work. The album art will add to other albums but it won't show on the album. The CD is imported from Japan, didn't think that would be a problem. Does anyone know a solution?

Vanguard,
You are welcome. As I gather you have now figured out, any of the other formats (AAC, MP3, AIFF, or Apple Lossless) can handle artwork just fine.
Enjoy the music!

DB Adaptor import table option does not work with the AS400 DB

1. The DB Adaptor import table option does not work with the IBM i-series(AS/400) tables(Both in ESB and BPEL).
2. Also I was not able to import tables from multiple databases into
the same BPEL project.

Both of these issues work in preview version. My earlier posting was based on beta version testing.

RH9 - Import Word 2010 - Bookmarks not working

We use Technical Communications Suite 3 with Robohelp 9 HTML.
I import a Word 2010 doc (about 400 pages) and generate Microsoft HTML help.
In the Word document we have cross-references to headings and bookmarks. The bookmarks work in Word, they work when I convert the Word Doc to a PDF using Adobe Acrobat X, however when I import the document into Robohelp 9 HTML they do not work.
The cross-references to headings work but the ones to bookmarks end up with href="".
I can edit the html and manually put in the href ="filename#bookmark" and it works but I want it to convert automatically upon import. The booksmarks in the word document read "(see page xyz)", where the xzy is the cross-reference to the bookmark, using a pagenumber field, so that in a printed document the user sees the page number and in the PDF, Word Doc, etc. and hopefully in the chm they can just click on the link.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
david

Greetings,
Thanks for the comments. At your suggestion, I was able to get it to work in a small project using a 3-4 page Word document. However it still would not work in my larger project. I noticed that in the large project there were bookmarks that did work to a point in the document andintermittent there after. I went into the Word document to the first failure and re-inserted a new bookmark with the same name hoping it would have a positive result. The results were the same.
However when I inserted a bookmark with a different name, RoboHelp9 was able to recognize the bookmark and would convert to a link. I went through the Word document and created new bookmarks for the ones that did not work (a big task indeed). Now I am able to use the Word document as the source rather than having to edit the HTML in RoboHelp. This is good. Now only if I can get the footnotes to behave the same way....
Granted, I don’t know why a set of the original bookmarks were not working when they worked in other format conversions (Acrobat -> pdf, Word->HTML, XPS), but I can move on. Possibly it has something to do with Window 7 x64….
But, thanks for the input; it put me on a workable path.
Thanks again,
David

Link in pdf-file does not work on Ipad

With my site www.bartkuijer.nl I offer visitors the free possibility to see (and download) sheetmusic, from music written by me. These are pdf-files. But they can not only SEE the sheetmusic; the music on that pdf-files can also be PLAYED. That's done bij clicking on a link in that pdf-file to a mp3-file of the music on my site.
This works fine on a pc. When I try this on the Ipad of my wife it DOES NOT WORK!
So my question is: how come? And what to do to make this work also fine on an Ipad.
This is important for me, because I want this sheetmusic to place as Ipad-apps for free.

It works!
But not with a pdf-file. The Ipad does not recognize links in a pdf-file.
Te solution is found by making a htm-file with emdedding a quicktime-player and images of the music. This is my first Ipad product. On a pc the player starts immediately; on the Ipad it has to be started.
Now I have to work on a solution to change this to an app

PDF HotspotsLinks DO NOT Work

I am following the Careshare tutorial from the Adobe
developers site. I've created the wireframe sample document,
including the 3 hotspots at the top of the document.
Per the tutorial I exported the Fireworks .png file to Adobe
Acrobat, yet when the file opens in Acrobat the hotspot links
created in Fireworks do not take me to the other pages of the
document.
All of the pages (3) are exported into the .pdf file, but the
links don't work.
Any ieas?
Thanks in advance.
Dan

I may have answered my own question.
When I first created the document I seleted all three areas
that were to have a hotspot. I then right clicked and selected
Insert Hotspot, and then selected multiple hotspots. I then
assigned a wireframe page to each hotspot.
Upon exporting to PDF this method DID NOT work, i.e., the
hotspots were not active in the Acrobat document.
However, I found that if I created each hotspot individually
using the hotspot tool under the WEB tools, and then assigned the
link to the proper page, the hotspots functioned as expected after
exporting to Acrobat.
I Hope this helps sombody else.

With previous editions of iTunes for Windows, I could play a CD at the same time as it was being imported. That does not work anymore. Why not, and is there a way to do both with the most current version?

With previous editions of iTunes for Windows, I could play a CD at the same time as it was being imported. That does not seem to work anymore. Why not, and is there a way to do both with the most current version? I am running a Surface Pro 2 with Windows 8.1 and the most recent vesion of iTunes, which, in all other respects, works well. I just can't listen to an album for the 1/2 to 1 hour that it takes to import it into my library.

Hyperlinks in PDF, WORD, PPT not working in Safari on iPad

We have an intranet we are serving up for use on the iPad. The links to other documents in PDF, WORD, PPT work on my pc and laptop but not in the iPad. I have looked to see of there is a setting but the only thing I found was to allow pop ups which our site uses but not luck. The links are blue and appear they should work but don't. Any one else have this problem and how did you correct it?

We have a similar problem with links inside PDFs not working, but worse, our links are all relative, ie, only file names. This means that if you DO have an app that makes the links work, but which is not viewing it in the browser, the links will try to open the file, but it won't find it, since it won't have the full domain info.
I realize our users could put the full into on the links, but we chose to do it this way for the ease of preparation--we have hundreds of these files every month and there's no quick, easy or automatic way for the preparers to add the full domain info at creation time--it's 100% manual, even with copy/paste. It all works fine in IE on a PC, which is the overwhelming bulk of our viewers, so until recently when several board members got iPad2s, there was no compelling reason to make any changes. It wasn't broke

Hyperlinks in PDF preview do not work

Hyperlinks in the preview PDF files that people first see when they click a Send link do not work. Can this possibly be fixed? Some users may not want to go through the hassle of downloading the document and want to be able to use the full document from the preview screen.

You have to create one or more Character Styles to populate that menu.
Format some text the way you want your hyperlinks to look, (color, underline, etc.). With your newly formatted text selected, go to the Character Styles panel (if it's not visible, press Shift+F11), and choose New Character Style from the panel menu. Give it a name like "hyperlink" and click OK.
Now, when you create or edit hyperlinked text, your Character Styles menu will include the character style you created, in addition to [None].

PDF Preview Handler Not Working in Outlook 2010

I have Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit and Outlook 2010.
Everything was working fine, until a few months ago when the PDF Preview Handler stopped working. I got the typical message that others were having with the issue with Adobe Reader 9. I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have also used Adobe Reader X. I have tried the little registry fix app that is supposed to fix this issue, but it states that my registry is already correct. Has anyone found a resolution for this issue with Acrobat X and Outlook 2010? As a workaround I am using the Foxit PDF Preview Handler, but I have to reinstall it everytime Adobe Reader or Acrobat is udpated as for some reason Outlook then reverts back to the PDF Preview Handler, which is not working.
Thanks,
Merg

Nope, using 32-bit. And I recently uninstalled Acrobat Pro completely and reinstalled it due to an issue with it not updating due to having the "Error Applying Transforms" issue. After I reinstalled, I updated it completely. I suppose I can try uninstalling and reinstalling again, but that seems like overkill.
