Index doesn't work if PDF file resides in RoboHelp Project

If I create a RH8 project and publish, the index works as it should.  Each keystroke will change where you are in the Index. If I put a .PDF file in the project, the Index doesn't work -- it no longer recognizes keystrokes and you can only scroll through it.
Does RoboHelp not support PDF files within the project?

Ummm, did I hear you say "Usage Reports"?
That sems to indicate that you are publishing to RoboHelp Server, no? And that piece of information would have been nice to know up front. Please click here for more on why.
If you are indeed using the RoboHelp Server, I'm going to move this thread over into that forum category. But I'll wait to hear back with a confirmation from you before I do.
Cheers... Rick

  • SaveAs() method doesn't work for PDF file

    I used the script below to generate a PDF file. When I ran it, no error occurred but no PDF was generated either
    var pdf = new File("E:\\STWWEB1\\CDLG_ILL\\temp\\jpeg\\640\\1.pdf");
    docRef.saveAs(pdf);
    Does anybody know what's wrong?

    PDF needs to have a new instance of the PDFSaveOptions created. Look at the JS Reference
    PDFSaveOptions
    Options for saving a document as an Adobe PDF file, used with the saveAs method. All properties are optional.
    Saving to PDF format
    // Saves the current document as PDF to dest with specified options
    // dest contains the full path and file name to save to
    function saveFileToPDF (dest) {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
    var saveName = new File ( dest );
    saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
    saveOpts.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT5;
    saveOpts.generateThumbnails = true;
    saveOpts.preserveEditability = true;
    doc.saveAs( saveName, saveOpts );

  • Doesn't open the PDF file (i.e. articles, books pages). It appears a black page. Thanks for help

    Safari doesn't open the PDF file (articles, book page, etc). It appears a black page. Before that it was working perfectly. Thank for your help

    Try this ...

  • Page turn effect doesn't work for PDFs in iBooks

    Hi All,
    Page turn in iBooks doesn't seem to be working for PDF files. Whenever I open the PDF file on Macbook, iBooks opens the file in Acrobat reader.
    I was just wondering if this is the default behaviour or something can be changed to get the page turn effect for PDFs in iBooks.
    Configuration:
    Macbook Pro OS X 10.9.2
    I would appreciate any help on this.

    That is normal. My PDFs open in Preview as that is what I use as the default application for reading PDFs.

  • In the product/app Adobe Acrobat reader mobile.it would be good to have layer support working for pdf files.

  • Can two users work on different files of the same project?

    Sorry if this has been asked already...but can two users work
    on different files of the same project? How would that work? Would
    it work something like this?
    1. From RoboHelp 7, user A checks out the entire project.
    2. User A checks in the files they are not working with.
    3. User B checks out the project but can only 'edit' the
    files that have been checked in by user A.
    Is this how the source control works?

    That's the basic idea. User A doesn't actually have to check
    out the whole project, though. RSC will selectively check out only
    the files that are actually getting changed. Both writers will have
    a complete copy of the project on their local machines, but the
    files are read-only until they are literally checked out, which is
    on an as-needed basis unless the writer explicitly checks them out.

  • Downloading pdf files with firefox 6.0.2 doesn't always work but pdf files do download with IE

    for example the home page for the web site kerrville.org has several items to download and most are pdf files using firefox version 6.0.2 the download seems to start but never completes . If I use IE version 8 at the same web site I'm able to download any and all of the pdf files. I have tried this several times and get the same results each time.

    I would just get rid of the create PDF 1.1 and go with CutePDF instead. It's a much better program, it's free, and it doesn't create all the issues that the Adobe software does.

    Hello,
    Did you check the fulltext log files for more details about the errors. If the filter isn’t working, there should be errors in the error log file.

  • Email Button Doesn't Work in SWF File

    In InDesign CS5.5, I have created a hyperlink that goes to email, and then a button that references the email hyperlink to start the process.  This button works fine in preview mode, but doesn't work in the exported swf file.
    Please help.

  • ShowDocument doesn't refresh displayed PDF file

    Hi All,
    My applet is running in Mozilla 1.7.12 uses showDocument(new URL("/tmp/test.html"), "testFrame"); to display an HTML file.
    When I click on a button it jumps to a referenced paragraph in the HTML file with showDocument(new URL("/tmp/test.html#destination12"), "testFrame"); Both work fine.
    When I do the same with PDF using Adobe Reader 7.0.8 it doesn't jump to the defined destination.
    showDocument(new URL("/tmp/test.pdf"), "testFrame"); still displays the PDF correctly but
    showDocument(new URL("/tmp/test.pdf#nameddest=destination12"), "testFrame"); does nothing from the applet though it works fine if I open /tmp/test.pdf#nameddest=destination12 directly with Mozilla.
    Any idea what could be wrong?
    Thanks,
    Attila

  • How to link a full text index with catalog in a PDF file ?

    Good morning and thank you for your help.
    I already create some PDF files on a folder (with hypertext links between us) and I use the command "Tools\Document processing\Full Text Index with Catalog" to create an index; at this time everything works properly.
    Now I want to link this Index to my first PDF file in order to use automatically this index on an advance search in this file.
    I hope that someone may answer me!
    Thank you.

    At the website: http://www.jerrywork.com/ is a "Tutorial" section.
    I cannot open these PDF files.
    I have installed the lates Adobe reader and rebooted
    I can display the files easily with Internet Explorer

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it works correctly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • Hyperlinks from converted excel file are not working after pdf file is moved

    I have created a pdf file from an excel file that has hyperlinks in it. The hyperlinks work fine if the files are all kept in the same exact location as the time they were created. Once the files are moved (i.e. emailed to another user) the hyperlinks no longer work. An error message pops up that the file can not be found. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing in acrobat that allows for the files to be moved, so that the hyperlinks still function properly, after creation

    No settings adjustments.
    The issue is that links, once made, have a specific path (as shown when you view the link's text string).
    When you email the files the person who recieves the email and downloads the attachments would have to have the same layout of files/folders you have.
    Without that links are "broken"
    You email a zip file that, when extracted, would create the folders/files in the required layout to reflect what you have.
    Be well...
