Is there a minimum width to Adobe AIR Help output?

Good day!
I am trying to produce an Adobe AIR Help document which is 256x768 pixels in size; this document is to be displayed on the left of the screen and use only a quarter of the Desktop real estate.
When I produce an Adobe AIR Help file using these dimensions, the document is always too wide. Furthermore, I cannot manually adjust it to be more narrow.
I would like to produce a Help document which is similar to Adobe's "Self Test Drive" environment for customer prospects to experience Adobe product. My company is doing a very similar project.
Why is it that Adobe AIR Help output doesn't export at this size? Furthermore, are there any adjustments to any files I can make to allow this?
Thank you for your help, in advance!  Have a great day!
Most sincerely,
Sammy Spencer

For this situation the plugin https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-for-c/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjikl pkjnoahfmg for Chrome may help. You can set the user agent to fool the HTML5 browser detection.

  • Is there a way to deploy Adobe Air package via Group Policy or SCCM?

    Is there a way to deploy Adobe Air package via Group Policy or SCCM?

    hi,
    I guess you can try the following options
    Remove the all the entry from the TOC of your project or create a new blank TOC and select that while AIR file generation
    Remove the all the entry from the index of your project or create a new blank index and select that while AIR file generation
    Remove the all the entry from the glossary of your project or create a new blank glossary file and select that while AIR file generation
    THis will ensure that TOC/Index/Glossary page is not shown,
    There is no way to hide Favorite or RSS from the AIR Help. Again, you can try looking at the Unipane Template provided in the AIR SSL Dialog.
    Hope this helps

  • Update Adobe AIR help content without necessity of installation for users???

    Hello there,
    I want to make our manuals available as Adobe AIR help applications. Unfortunately for our users it is not possible to regularly install these applications. Therefore I decided to generate a help viewer as AIR file and help content as RHA file ("help content only" ssl option). So admins only once have to install an initial AIR file. Afterwards users are able to replace help content to update help files.
    I proceeded in a similar way as described here:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2010/07/merging_multiple_helps_in_air_help_output.html
    In principle this is a good solution - but here is my problem:
    Help content itself already consists of different projects (merged projects). Merged projects unfortunately cannot be generated with "help content only" ssl option.
    Anyone has got an idea how to satisfy all my conditions:
    - Customers only once have to install an AIR file
    - Afterwards help content can be updated by replacing files (without installation)
    - Help content itself contains merged projects .
    Generate different outputs (RHA files) for the merged projects is not a possibility. The merged projects with regard to content belong to ONE single manual - I'm not talking about different manuals. So users should be able to search the whole manual and so on ...).
    Thank you so much in anticipation!
    Melanie

    It has always irritated me that the blog you refer to uses the term "merged help". It is not merged help, it is simply a collection of outputs where the user can select the one they want.
    My site does have instructions for a true merged AIR Help output but that will not achieve your objective of one install. Sorry but I don't think what you want can be achieved.
    http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/merging_webhelp/merging_method_rh9.htm#air
    The method is the same for Rh10.

  • Encrypting Adobe Air Help

    Two questions:
    1. Is there a way to encrypt (password protect) an Adobe Air Help so that a user cannot download and access the Help file outside of the application? The application data files are encrypted, and I need to encrypt the Help file (if possible).
    2. Is there a way to remove the Print icon from the Adobe Air Help file?

    Hi there
    Adobe and Microsoft are similar in this respect. Indeed, the help viewer they use is AIR based, but it's a far cry from what we are able to use ourselves. Theirs is customized in different ways. And after all, as they are the ones that created the format, it's within their realm to easily create something unique to them. Microsoft is similar with their Office Help.
    I suspect there is no print icon becuase Community help trawls through many things that aren't part of Adobe. Other blogs and web sites. So if you had an icon that allowed you to print all, there would be no telling how many reams of paper and ink refills you may need to complete the job. What Adobe did was to insert a link to a PDF that is intended for your printing pleasure.
    After seeing this post I excitedly opened my RoboHelp 9. I recalled that Adobe had added an AIR Help Skin editor and that we could also customize the icons. Sadly, it appears that we are unable to pick and choose items like the Print icon. However, a thought occurred to me on this. They do allow you to choose different icons if you like. My thought was that perhaps you could create a super tiny totally transparent icon and use it for the print. If that happened, the only way printing would be discovered would be if someone randomly happened to click the hidden spot. Not sure if that's an option for you.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Is there a minimum width for folders in Finder?

    This seems like a general problem, but I will use a specific example. I have a mountable disk, which I open on the desktop. Doubleclick to open, revealing several folders, all of which are set to list view, status bar showing, path bar and tool bar hidden. Two things happen which are very annoying:
    1. I will open one of the contained folders, and another within that one. I want to adjust the widths so that I can see all three list views, with each lower level a little narrower than the previous level. In 10.6 that was easy, and always worked. In 10.9 however, I can't narrow some windows as before. I can have a given window at the width I want, but can't make a contained window even that narrow. The effect seems pretty random.
    2. Having a window open, and showing more than one header field (name, date, size, etc.), I will often move the limit of the first one (name) to the right edge of the window, as name is all I want to see. When I close the window, and open it sometime later, the headers are back to the original state, not the state I left them in. That is also random in the sense that some windows do not act that way, but for a window that does, it always happens.
    I understand that there may be an absolute minimum width in force, but in my case I can't make all windows correspond to the narrowest one I am using. I can accept any combination of bars showing and hidden, as long as all are consistent. Any ideas?

    Hi barbtastic,
    There is a way to find out where the original photo is that you have in your iPhoto Library. On this page there are iPhoto Applescripts. One of them is "show image file" I tried it and it does work for iPhoto 5. If you click on the image in your library window and then use the applescript it will open up a finder window with the image file, and you can see it's path of where it is.
    http://www.apple.com/applescript/iphoto/
    Download the scripts from the link
    Once downloaded, put the folder "iPhoto Scripts" in ~/Library/Scripts
    Now navigate to Applications/Applescript
    In that Applescript folder is an icon that says "Install Script menu"
    double click that icon to install the Script menu in your menu bar. You might have an item called ScriptMenu.menu instead. follow directions on next link
    http://www.appleclub.com.hk/applescript/script_menu/
    It will look like a little black scrolled paper.
    Or you might have an item named AppleScript Utility.app in the folder. Double click to open it and make sure you have show script menu in menu bar checked.
    Now open iPhoto, click on a photo to highlight it
    Go to the menu bar and click and hold on the Applescript icon
    scroll down to iPhoto Scripts, then scroll to "show image file"
    Wait for the Finder top open a finder window showing you where the image is.

  • Will there be future support from Adobe AIR for Desktop native Applications

    We have a desktop native application developed using Flex SDK 4.1 and running on Adobe AIR. Now as Adobe has donated Flex SDk to Apache we are concerned about the future of this application. If we rescale our application with new versions of Flex SDk released by Apache, in future will the new versions of Adobe AIR support it? As I have read in Adobe Forums that Adobe is more concentrated on providing HTML5 support in Adobe AIR, and not working for Flex support anymore, can we face any problems going forward with this combination?

  • Customising Adobe AIR Help

    RH 8 HTML.
    Is it possible to customise the output of an Air help file?
    I want to do a few things:
    Set the column width of the TOC so it is wider
    Change color schemes if possible
    Make my title page appear when first opened - but not be a topic (in the same way the RH8 help file does it)
    Remove the 'pop up' that comes when I hover over a topic, the title pops out above itself, it just looks strange and I dont like it.
    Set an indent on the text displayed in topics so it is further from the column that seperates the TOC and topics. I tried to do this with a master page but it didn't work with AIR.
    Also, is there anywhere to get more AIR skins??
    Thanks.

  • Adobe AIR help; question regarding search criteria with multibyte characters

    Hi,
    I created Adobe AIR application with Robohelp 9 (using FM 10 files as source, and texts are written in Japanese and English),
    and happend to find that search function in AIR application doesn't catch keywords correctly.
    For example,
    1. If you type "文字" and "スタイル" with single byte space in search window, the result appears for both "文字" and "スタイル".
    2. If you type "文字" and "スタイル" with double byte space in search window, the result doesn't match for anything.
    3. If you type "文字スタイル" (in one word) in search window, the result doesn't match for anything.
    Same thing happens for the case "文字種" (literally, "文字"+"種", the meaning is almost the same).
    But, if you type search words which is all in Katakana, the result seems to be fine.
    Is there any limitation for multibyte characters support? Or, this behaviour is a feature??
    If so, how can make AIR application "hit" correct words?
    Thank you very much for your kind help in advance!

    On this one your best course of action is to contact Adobe Support. They will likely require your project and there is one thing I would suggest you do first. Create a new project with just a few topics to prove the problem exists there as well. If it does it will be a simpler upload and you will know the problem is repeatable.

  • Left margin in Adobe Air help

    I can't seem to move the left margin of this Air help system.  It stays very close to the left edge of the frame.  I've tried to fix the master page but that doesn't seem to help.  The only thing that works is if I change the left margin manually on the topic, which would take forever to do in the very large help system.  Any suggestions?  Thanks for your help.

    I have moved this post to the AIR Help forum where it belongs.
    Create a copy of your CSS and edit it in Notepad or suchlike. Add a left and right margin to the body tag. About 3px should do it.
    When you generate, select that CSS. I apply the same name adding _AIR. mystyles_AIR.css for example.
