Lost Chunks of Content After Conversion from .HLP

I have 26 .HLP files that we converted from .HLP into RoboHelp HTML.
At first glance everything seemed fine.  Then we noticed the stylesheets got a little messed up and colours were changed but those were easy enough to fix.  Then we noticed that some topics were missing large chunks of data.
I opened a newly created .htm file for a corrupted topic and then opened the old .HLP file and looked at the same topic.
Sometimes indents were converted to numbers such as the following example.
.HLP topic
Line One
     First Line
Line Two
     Second Line
Line Three
     Third Line
Line Four
     Fourth line
.HTM topic file created by RoboHelp by conversion:
Line One
     1.
Line Two
     1.
Line Three
     1.
Line Four
     1.
Here's another example which seemed to vomit when it encountered numbered lists:
My List
I     First
II     Second
III     Third
IV     Fourth
V     Fifth
VI     Sixth
.HTM topic file
My List
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
So far in one of the projects, I've noticed 50% of the newly created .htm files are missing content.
Has anyone else encountered this?  Is there a setting that we missed (hopefully) when we converted from .HLP?

I tried the import again... we had to select "Formatted Text" on the conversion settings and now the lists have the text like they should.  A pain to have to redo them all but at least it's fixing them.

  • Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf

    Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf
    ""This above link (thread:834599) is from a case back in 2011 that claims to solve this problem, but it does not solve this problem. I think that customer only cared about having continuous page numbering, not discrete page numbering per sheet.
    ========================
    I still have this issue in Acrobat XI and MS Office Professional Plus 2010. I keep upgrading to no avail. This regression has resulted in a huge time drain for me. If you fixed it, please explain how I can get my hands on the resolution.
    Previous versions of Excel and Adobe Acrobat enabled flexibility around the "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) token, depending on context and usage. The "# of pages" token could represent EITHER the number of pages in the workbook OR the number of pages in the tab/sheet, depending on how you generated the PDF:
    You could select "Selected Sheets" and then select all or some of the individual sheets in the workbook, and the PDF would honor the discrete numbering of each of the sheets, so the first page of each sheet was p1 and the "# of pages" was the number of pages in the sheet; not the number of pages in the workbook; or
    You could select "Entire Workbook" and the PDF would honor continuous page numbers across all sheets, as a single document.
    Now, it only honors the total number of pages in the workbook, regardless of the method you use to publish to PDF: saving as PDF, printing to PDF, using "createPDF" from Acrobat plugin to Excel's menu ribbon; selecting all sheets, some sheets, or Entire Workbook; automatic First page number or "1" under Page Setup > Page> First page number. (This last option, btw, does restart every sheet at p1, but it hardly makes sense if the total number of pages is still the total number in the workbook instead of the number in the sheet.)
    I spent a lot of time trying each which way that the blog posts recommended and have tried this on multiple versions of Excel and Acrobat now.
    NONE of these time-consuming experiments gave me what I wanted.They all insist that "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) is the total number of pages in the workbook or the total number of pages in the selected sheets combined.
    The numbering are correct in Excel Page Layout.
    The same issue happens when using LibreOffice calc. (Although, I never tested with Libre Office before, so I don't know that it ever worked).
    The workaround now is to create PDF for each spreadsheet one at a time, and then compile them using the Acrobat combine/binder feature. All alternatives are extremely time consuming and tedious. It used to be automatic. This is a major regression that has gone untreated for over a year now, maybe two years.
    My task takes infinitely more time to complete than it did with previous versions of Acrobat. That means that days are added to my project, when the functionality used to enable a quick pdf generation that was ready for review, now I have to do this very manual time-consuming set of steps to generate a draft. As the project has grown and more tabs are added, my pdf-generation task takes that much longer. We require lots of drafts. It used to be easy and fast. Now it is hard and time-consuming.
    In my opinion, the problem is not Excel; it is Acrobat because it was introduced with an upgrade in Acrobat, not an upgrade in Excel. The problem was introduced in Acrobat 9 or 10. Please provide a patch or add-on or something.

    If you are setting up the page numbers in Excel, the resulting PDF would display the the page numbers created in Excel. On Excel 2010 support page, (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/insert-and-remove-page-numbers-on-worksheets- HA010342619.aspx#BM2) is stated the following "tip" which indicates by default Excel 2010 starts numbering each tab with 1. Exel's workaround tip is below - 
    Set a different number for the starting page
    Tip   To number all of the worksheet pages in a workbook sequentially, first add page numbers to all worksheets in a workbook, and then use the following procedure to begin the page number for each worksheet with the appropriate number. For example, if your workbook contains two worksheets that with both be printed as two pages, you would use this procedure to begin the page numbering for the second worksheet with the number 3.
    On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Dialog Box Launcher next to Page Setup.
    On the Page tab, in the First page number box, type the number that you want to use for the first page.
    Tip   To use the default numbering system, type Auto in the First page number box.
    Also helpful in the same section is the note on viewing page numbers. To see if the page numbering dilemma originates in Excel make sure you are using the Page Layout View see below:
    Hide All
    If you want numbers shown on pages when you print a worksheet  you can insert page numbers in the headers or footers of the worksheet pages. Page numbers that you insert are not displayed on the worksheet in Normal view — they are shown only in Page Layout view and on the printed pages.
    Overall it may be easier not to create the page numbers in Excel but instead create then in Acrobat using the Headers and Footers option in Acrobat.  I hope this helps - it sounds like a frustrating issue you are experiencing.

  • Some spaces omitted after conversion from x5

    I recently converted my help project from x5 to ver. 7. After
    the conversion, some, not all, words display merged together in the
    compiled help, but don't appear that way in Design mode or when
    previewing the topic. Normally, it happens following a word that is
    bold, or hyperlinked. When I look at the html, it appears to be
    formatted properly, In the following example the words Option
    Management display in bold:
    Design/Preview Display - Option Management menu
    HTML - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Option
    Management</span> menu
    Compiled Help - Option Managementmenu
    The only way to add the space is to insert a space prior to
    the /span tag. Of course, in the case of hyperlinks, this extends
    the hyperlink into the blank space. This happens throughout the
    project sporadically, and it will take me forever to try and catch
    all of these occurrences. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
    It also appears to be happening sometimes when I cut/paste from
    Word.
    Thanks so much for your help - Janet

    Yes, I still had the same results after applying the two
    patches. However, I installed version 8, and that took care of the
    problem. Thanks for the idea!

  • Javascript not loading content after updating from firefox 26 to 27

    on my site i have a page on which javascript pre-loads the content and then shows it.
    this thing was working perfectly fine on firefox 26 but soon as i updated to firefox 27
    the content doesn't show after loading
    Like i have an image for 'loading content' which first appears and then the loaded content
    shows up. This image is still showing in version 27 but the content which shows after is not showing at all.
    I inspected the page and the divs and content is there but its just not visible somehow.
    Please help me with this problem .. im stuck with this if it doesn't show up. Thanks.

    this doesn't solve the problem.
    actually its working on all other browsers, the content is showing.
    but its not working on firefox 27. what problem could it be which is preventing version 27 from loading the content when its working just fine on version 26 (i just checked it on a different system with version 26).
    also there was an instance when the same content wasn't loading on version 26 also but it was a problem due to some pinterest script. once i removed it everything became just fine i.e. content started loading (on version 26). Now, if that helps in deducing the problem please help me out.

  • Recovering data from Time Capsule after conversion from Snow Leopard to Lion

    Had a problem with my iMac, which was running Snow Leopard O/S.  Data was backed up on Time Capsule using Time Machine, although recent back-ups had failed (but earlier back-ups had been OK).  Apple support determined that I needed to re-install the O/S and they walked me through it.  After blowing away all data (believing that once O/S reinstalled, could recover from Time Capsule), the reinstall failed.  Took to Apple store, where they installed Lion at my request.  Then tried to recover from Time Capsule, but couldn't do so.  Sparse file doesn't work (it shows 10GB, which is wrong as it had several hundred GB's before due to lots of photos).  Apple Support couldn't solve issue, believes it was corrupted with the last backup.  Ultimately recommended that I have professional data recovery service recover data from the iMac hard-drive (as opposed to Time Capsule).  Spoke to recovery service recommended by Apple, and it is very expensive (also, given the O/S reinstall, anything they recover will have new file names and no directory structure).  They also said getting data off the Time Capsule is even more difficult and expensive to recover.  I'm not a happy camper. 
    I would welcome any thoughts on what to do.  FWIW, I live in South Florida and there appear to be lots of data recovery companies locally, but Apple support had said that they have only a few authorized vendors that can do it without voiding warranty, so I'm reluctant to even call them.  Thanks.  Steve

    Your backups may be corrupted.
    Try to repair them, via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
    Mount the sparse bundle by opening the TC in the Finder and double-clicking on the sparse bundle. Drag the sparse bundle into Disk Utility's sidebar, and do a +*Repair Disk*+ (not permissions) on it. If it finds errors it can't fix, run it again (and again), until it either fixes them all, or can't fix any more.

  • Lost gmail folder content when transferring from old mac to new

    I got a new Mac Pro recently and used Migration Assistant to transfer everything from my old mac to the new one.  Everything worked fine except in my gmail account.  None of the mailbox folders I set up transferred.  How can I get them onto the new machine?

    If I activate 2-step verification now, would it somehow allow me to access the "lost" gmail folders?
    No. Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Lost all my photos after updating from 2.14 to 3. Anyway to recover them?

    Have been using aperture 2.14 for years, love it! Uploaded about a months worth of photos last night and began editing as normal. Program kept crashing over and over so I began searching reason why and realized it could be because I just updated to Mavericks OSX. Read that Mavericks and older versions of aperture can be "buggy" and that I should upgrade aperture to 3.0. After the upgrade all photos after 2009 are gone. I have everything backed up except the months worth of photos I just uploaded last night and I already deleted from my camera. Anyway to recover them? I went to the root aperture library to see if they were still there just not being referenced and the file size changed right before my eyes! Please help

    Open the App Store, choose "Updates" from the bottom, then "Purchased".  You can re-download your purchased apps from there.
    Of course, before that, you had to go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and sign in with your Apple ID.

  • Lost I tunes tracks after restore from time machine

    Hi all
    I have had to restore OS X using a backup from time machine for resons I wont go into.
    The backup was only from a few days previous, all seemed well but when i went into itunes I had gone from nearly 8000 tracks to less than 3000.
    Oh poo I thought, so I restored again using time machine, but this time I used a backup from only an hour before I did the first restore,  but now I have lost even more of my tracks in Itunes.
    And I do mean lost they are no longer listed in itunes
    What the **** is going on?
    And is there a way to get them back

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    First, are you running Leopard or Snow Leopard? Your settings at the bottom of your post say Snow Leopard, but this is the +Leopard > Time Machine+ forum, so I'm not sure which is right.
    Did you do the full system restore, starting by booting from your OSX disc? If not, what exactly did you do?
    Exactly what is wrong with Software Update? What happens, or doesn't happen?

  • IPhoto 9.5 lost lots of photos after transfer from external HD USB

    Hi,
    Our old MB with os 10.9.3 and iPhoto 9.5 was damaged and replaced with MBP 15 Retina with the same system.
    As I have much more space on the new one decided to move iPhoto library from external USB (Seagate) HD to the new MBP.
    I did drag and drop to the new location in Pictures in new MBP. About 64GB. Transfer went fine without any issue.
    Unfortunately lots of pictures are lost. I can see the thumbnails but when trying to open them "Picture cannot be found".
    I did experiment - Having connected external HD (library was still there) and iPhoto on I did "Switch to Library" to the newly transfered (the transfered one with missing pictures).
    And now I can see all pictures there, no one missing. But when disconnect HD pictures are missing again.
    Confusing.
    Please advice.
    Thanks

  • Every single box is outlined after conversion from CS3 to CS2!!!! Plz HELP!!!

    Hi there guys,
    I'm quite new to the forum, but I have come through an issue that is weird to me...
    See: One of my clients I'm a freelance designer– is an ad agency whose only graphic designer is on marriage vacation.
    This guy converted some files from Indesign CS3 to CS2 so I can go on whit the projects while he is out happily just married in Thailand...
    The problem is, however, whit every single box, doesn't matter if they are text or image boxes or even empty boxes. Neither if they already had outline or not. They all have somehow come up whit a black outline. And I'm starting to lose my nerves on fixing that...
    Moreover, there are some text boxes –footnotes and the like– that contain a web address or an e-mail direction. This "www.xxxxxxxxx.com" and the "[email protected]" stuff is outlined within the text box with the same black line that will disappear only if I type back the thing...
    Is this maybe a known issue? Has anyone ever heard or experienced that?
    Any workarounds or known fixes or whatever?
    Thanks a lot for taking the trouble to read and answer!!!

    The outlines around hyperlinks are just visual indicators for you so you'll know they are there (not all hyperlinks show up as URLs) and won't print. You should be able to turn them off in the hyperlinks palette if you want to. If you just re-type the hyperlink text it will no longer be a real hyperlink, if that'st required.
    As far as the strokes on everything, I'm not sure. Is it possible there's an object style applied to all of these items and the stroke is now defined in the style. (Does CS2 support object styles? I've forgotten and don't have it on this machine to check). It could also be some sort of translation glitch in the move from CS3 to CS2.

  • FRM-13008 after conversion from 6i

    First, let me indicate that I am dumb as dirt about Forms, IAS, Java. I am a DBA but have next to zero experience in this area. In a test environment, I have converted all application 6i Forms & Reports to 10G. I have only one problem form to convert that errors when opened with a FRM-13008: 'Cannot find JavaBean with name oracle.forms.demos.uploadclient.FileUploader' .
    Now I have read several Forum threads on this plus Metalink notes (including 1072329.6). One of the causes, per that note, is CLASSPATH and FORMSxx_BUILDER_CLASSPATH may be missing references to 1) the java bean class or .jar in the implementation class, 2) the f60all.jar or f90all.jar or 3) the 'forms60\java' or 'forms90\java' directories.
    Per 3) above: My 10G IAS installed directory structure does not include a 'forms60' or 'forms90' directory. My directory is simply 'forms'.
    Per 1): I copied and extracted the uploadclient.jar such that the resulting classes are located at '[ORACLE_HOME]\forms\java\oracle\forms\java\demos\uploadclient'.
    Per 2): In the [ORACLE_HOME]\forms\java directory, I have frmall.jar, but no f60all.jar or f90all.jar.
    Folks, I'm totally lost. Any crumbs you can throw me would be appreciated. Did I mention I was dumb as dirt?
    Thanks.

    I don't see a forms.jar. I do see a frmall.jar. Regardless and based on that last bit of info, in default.env (in my IAS Oracle Home and my developer Oracle Home), I modified CLASSPATH and added FORMS_BUILDER_CLASSPATH to contain c:\[ORACLE_HOME]\forms\java;c:\[ORACLE_HOME]\forms\java\frmall.jar;c:[ORACLE_HOME]\forms\java\UploadClient.jar. The error continues.
    The implementation class in the property palette looks correct. I see no spelling or case issues.
    Any recommended troubleshooting steps to take?

  • Screenshots distorted after conversion from captivate 1 to captivate 3

    Hi,
    I have just converted a couple of .cp's that I have created
    in the past with Macromedia Captivate (1). As soon as I open them
    in Adobe Captivate 3, it starts converting. Then, when I take a
    look at the output, some images are distorted : small ( like
    3pixels ) horizontal lines appear in the projector file. These
    lines only appear on a number of slides, not on all of them.
    Strange enough, I cannot see the image distortions when I
    work in captivate and edit the slides.
    Does anybody know if this can be prevented or am I to do it
    all over again ?
    Thanks and regards ! :D
    Sylvester
    edit:typo

    You probably need to change your project preferences to use a
    higher video quality.
    Beyond that, if you still have CP2, you might try opening
    both versions and copy/pasting from the old file into the new file.
    You can also export the files from the old version and import them
    into the new version from disk.
