Maximum size of a robohelp project

Hi All,
Assuming you have a high-powered computer, what is the
maximum size you would recommend for a RoboHelp 7.0 project? Is
there a limit specified? Is there a limit for the number of topics
allowed?
Thanks,
Jen

Peter, I did draw the correct conclusion, but perhaps I did
not phrase it very well.
If the user generates Printed Documentation from a RoboHelp
project, then the size of the project (that is, the part of it that
is used to create the Printed Documentation) does have size limits
(or the user needs to workaround this problem by merging multiple
DOC/PDF files afterwards).
Indeed, this only applies for projects from which the user
generates Printed Documentation.
Our high-end PCs have a very large amount of RAM (as much as
the latest motherboards can handle). We can easily manipulate PDF
and DOC files with thousands of pages. But generating more than
1,000 pages of Printed Documentation from RoboHelp seems to be
problematic.
We work with a lot of reports that contain many hundred and
often several thousand pages. Only RoboHelp's Printed Documentation
cannot handle it.
Perhaps I should add that the size of RoboHelp projects
itself does not necessarily slow things down. It is to total amount
of complexity that makes life difficult for RoboHelp. 1,000 pages
of plain HTML and a basic TOC does not cause problems. But tons of
hyperlinks, extensive Index, See Also, Browse Sequences, image
maps, etc. will cause troubles for these same 1,000 pages.
Especially removing items from the database can take some time
then, and increase the likelyhood of a corrupted database.
-- Peter, I hope that this aligns with your
perspective.

VHD Size is Maximum Size Allowed Without Using All Space in OS

Hello - I have a Hyper-V VM whose maximum size allowed is 700GB. Currently, the VHD file size is 700GB yet the OS is only using ~400GB (300GB free). Shouldn't the VHD size be about 400GB instead of 700? Every other VM I have checked matches the size being
used in the OS.
As I was typing this I think I answered my own question. This VM has a fixed size and all of the other VMs we have are dynamic. I assume this is why? It is a SQL server so I guess it is fixed for better performance. I didn't set this up
Can I safely shrink the VHD down a little bit? When trying to get replicas of this VM, it keeps crashing the VM due to space limitations. It is on its own Cluster Disk but it only has a few GB free which is why I believe it is failing. How much free
disk space is needed where the VHD is located in order for replication to work?
This is our SQL server so I am a little cautious in what we do with it.
Thanks for your help,
Mike

Hi Mike ,
Based on my knowledge for vhd , when you delete a file then this file was not deleted on disk thoroughly , just give it a deleted tag (the "old space" was not recycled until there is no new space for writing).
I think you can not make it smaller via shrinking .
Maybe you can try to compress the vhd file ( "edit disk..." ), before you doing this please backup your VM first .
BTW , it is recommended to use fixed disk for SQL server .

Adding a Loading Animation to a Captivate movie for use in a RoboHelp Project?

Hello all:
I'm inserting SWFs (built in Captivate 5) into Robohelp topics (using RoboHelp 9, publishing to WebHelp Pro output). These topics hold only the SWFs, so I've published the SWFs to autoplay when opened.
The problem is this: when I publish my RoboHelp project, my Captivate movies display as image icons (see screenshot). There is no loading animnation or screenshot to indicate that the Captivate movie works. If I wait a few seconds (variable, depending on file size of the SWF), the movie will appear and start to play. I'm concerned that my user will think the file is broken and leave the page.
How can I enable a loading animation (or even a loading image) to show my user that there is, in fact, content on the page when the topic loads? I'd like to keep the auto-play functionality, if possible.

The best option is to break out the words because it gives you the most control. However, if the two words you want to glow are next to each other you can use the Sequence Text behavior.
Select the text and apply Text Animation/Sequence Text to the layer. In the behaviors tab, click on the Add parameter and select Glow/Color. This will create a parameter that you can assign to a character, word, line or custom area.
Now you'll need to add several parameters so repeat the above step adding parameters for Glow/Opacity, Glow/Blur, and Glow/Radius. You might even want to change the color of the font for those two words. If so, add a parameter for Face/Color.
Once you have all the parameters added, change the Traversal parameter to Custom. Change the Select parameter to Custom. Use the Start parameter to determine the beginning of the "glow" area, and the End parameter to fix the end of it. Set the Spread to 0 so there is no spillage of the glow to the words on either side.
Now adjust the color, blur and radius of the glow just as you would if you were adding it to the entire paragraph.

ALBPM 6.0 : The maximum size for file uploads has been exceeded.

Hi,
I use AquaLogic BPM Entreprise server to deploy my Process. When I try to publish a process on my server I get the following error:
An unexpected error ocurred.
The error's technical description is:
"javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: null"
Possible causes are:
The maximum size for file uploads has been exceeded.
If you are trying to publish an exported project you should publish it using the remote project option.
If you are trying to upload the participant's photo you should choose a smaller one.
An internal error has ocurred, please contact support attaching this page's source code.
Has someone resolve it?
Thank's.

Hi,
Sure you've figured this out by now, but when you get the "Maximum size for file uploads" error during publish consider:
1. if your export project file is over 10mb, use "Remote Project" (instead of "Exported Project") as the publication source. That way when you select the remote project, you will point to ".fpr" directory of the project you are trying to publish.
Most times your project is not on a network drive that the server has access to. If this is the case, upload the .exp file to the machine where the Process Administrator is running, then expand it in any directory (just unzip the file). Then, from the Process Administrator, use the option to publish a Remote Project by entering the path to the .fpr directory you just created when unzipping the project.
2. Check to see if you have cataloged any jars and marked them as non-versionable. Most of the times the project size is big just because of the external jar files. So as a best practice, when you do a project export select the option "include only-versionable jars", that will get reduce the project size considerably (usually to Kb's). Of course you have to manually copy the Jar files to your Ext folder.

Is there a maximum size for Keynote files

I want to make sure my Keynote files are functioning well. Is there a maximum size, under which they function best? (either a number of slides, or MB/memory).
I've created the Keynote files on my iPad2, then uploaded them to my iMac desktop, used the "Reduce File Size" option on desktop Keynote, saved, then downloaded onto my iPhone4, and I'm "projecting" the files onto an Apple TV 2.
Thanks!

There's a mathematical limit due to the architecture of PDF object references but it's way beyond anything you could create in practice. Because the Acrobat Family are 32-bit applications you'll find there are performance issues if the file count gets too high - exactly when that becomes a problem depends on both the files and the hardware opening them, but given an XLSX file isn't displayed within the Portfolio (other than as an icon) it'll be less of an issue then if the files were PDFs, videos, etc.

Customizing Paging File: what is the recommended initial and maximum size?

Hi everyone, and Harm,
Following Harm's response to my question about how to setup disks, Harm said this:
"disk allocation: It is a three stage process, first you define the boot order in the BIOS, then you format the disks inWindows and allocate drive letters, then still in Windows you setup the pagefile. Then the allocation of media cache, preview, project etc. is done in the preferences and project setup of PR."
and I have a question about paging file.
First let me say describe my new machine, it has a 4 disc setup, no RAID, 16GB RAM, with OCZ-Vertex3 for OS & Programs, i.e. i have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on this disc, and Web Premium CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9. In BIOS, i have made the OCZ (OS) disk, be the priority in the Boot order.
Later, after verifying the system is in working order, i will upgrade to Classic Collection CS5.5, so at this point, i have named my 3 additional disks as such,
WDC WD 2002FAEX-007BA0 - "Media Projects(D)"
WDC WD 1002FAEX-00Y9A0 - "Pagefile, Media Cache (E)"
WDC WD 1002FAEX-00Y9A0 - "Previews, Exports(F)"
So, for now these are simply names, which i have given to the various disks, and now i am changing the paging file, switching it from happening in the OS disk, in order to happen inthe disk which (via Premier, later) will be designated for Media Cache.
So, in Windows Performance Options pane, I went to Advanced tab, & under Virtual memory I hit "change", uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives, select drive E, which is the disk that's to have the paging file happen in it.
And the question, assuming that i am supposed to select Custom size, can you Harm, or/and others, please recommend the Initial and Maximum sizes?
Or, should i select "System managed size"?
Thanks:)

Keep in mind Video/Animation applications use more ram now than almost any other type and there are far more memory hungry services running in the background as well. Consider the normal recommendations are for standard applications. HD material changed far more than just the need for 64Bit memory addressing.

Maximum size of an .air package

hi forum,
are there any limitations / recomendations for a maximum size
of an .air package?
i'm currently developing on an air application which will be
distributed via cd/dvd. the app will have access to an fixed amount
of image data (about 1,5 gb), i'm not shure whether its better to
keep the data outside of the .air app installer an write an
postroutinie which autmatically copies the data from cd to
harddisk, or simply include the whole data whithin the .air file?
last version would save a lot coding but i don't know if ther
are limitations in the size of an .air packege

Does anyone have any info on how to write a post-routine
which automatically copies the data from cd to hard-disk?
David
hi david,
thanx for your reply. think we have the same problem. here
are my ideas to resolve this problem:
1) writing a post-routine:
as far as i know there is no standard post-routine function
implemented in air. so we have to fake it. maybe this way:
- create a prefereces.dat where you store all the application
preferences (serialized data) in
- create a "firstRun"-flag inside this file with the value of
"false"
- in the application init() method check this value
- if set to "true" - run the application
- if set to "false" call a "copyContent()" method
- this method should prompt for a "toc.xml" (open a file
dialog) which is stored on the cd
- this toc.xml should keep all infos which content should be
copied
- now the user has to manualy go to the cd-drive an select
the file. (you shoud check the file schema, whether its "your"
provided file)
- for later use- save the native path of the toc.xml in the
flag "toc-path" inside the preferences.dat.
- now copy all files (asynchronus) listed in the toc.xml
(excluding the files in the "local-toc.xml", see below)
- for "aborting proccess issues" you should also write a
local empty "local-toc.xml" to the users hdd
- for each copied file you should write an the associate
entry from the cd's toc.xml to this local-toc.xml
- this is important because if for some reasons the whole
process fails (by user or system), we do not have to copy the whole
stuff again
- if all files ar copied correctly, set the firstRun flag to
"false" - run the application
- if not, exit the application
- next time the app starts, it looks for the firtsRun flag
again.
- if its still set to "true" (cause the copy process wasnt
successfull first time), the app matches the local-toc.xml with the
toc.xml from the cd (read the path from the toc-path flag first, if
not valid - do a new file dialog prompt)
- now the "rest" of the content will be copieed
- this procces loops till everything is well copied :+)
2.) write a "real" installer
- write a real installer with an installer build tool e.g.
NSIS
3.) hack air
- try the new air wrapper tool
"shu-player"
- it wraps the air package in a single .exe
- this a tool like mdm zinc for flash
4.) hope
- .... that adobe provides post-routines in the next release
of air :+)
well, hope this helps - this are just ideas which havent been
realized.
i'll keep you to date whether one solution works ...
regards,
jan viehweger

Maximum size of an swf file of an Application

Hi ,
Ours is a Intra Net Application would be launched as a Product ,and can be used with in an Organisation .
The Project would be developed using FLEX 3 as Front End , blazeds in Tomcat , JDBC with Oracle for backend .
Please tell me what should be considerded as the maximum size of the swf file so that everything would be fine
Please share your views .
Thnaks in advance .

With Flex you don't need to bother about sizing. If you keep your layout liquid (keeping your application and it's components use size in %) it will serve the purpose. All you need to make sure is that the size of your components is not going below minimum size requirement. To ensure this, you can use minSize property as shown below.
<mx:HDividedBox minWidth="500" width="100%" height="100%">
</mx:HDividedBox>
Now the width of this component will not go below 500 pixels. And when the application is viewed in higher resolution, it will use the extra space available as the width is given as 100%.

Hi,
Under certain conditions, an Open SQL statement with range tables can be reformulated into a FOR ALL ENTRIES statement:
    DESCRIBE TABLE range_tab LINES lines.
    IF lines EQ 0.
      [SELECT for blank range_tab]
    ELSE.
      SELECT .. FOR ALL ENTRIES IN range_tab ..
      WHERE .. f EQ range_tab-LOW ...
      ENDSELECT.
    ENDF.
Since FOR ALL ENTRIES statements are automatically converted in accordance with the database restrictions, this solution is always met by means of a choice if the following requirements are fulfilled:
1. The statement operates on transparent tables, on database views or on a projection view on a transparent table.
2. The requirement on the range table is not negated. Moreover, the range table only contains entries with range_tab-SIGN = 'I'
and only one value ever occurs in the field range_tab OPTION.
This value is then used as an operator with operand range_tab-LOW or range_tab-HIGH.In the above example, case 'EQ range_tab-LOW' was the typical case.
3. Duplicates are removed from the result by FOR ALL ENTRIES.This must not falsify the desired result, that is, the previous Open SQL statement can be written as SELECT DISTINCT.
For the reformulation, if the range table is empty it must be handled in a different way:with FOR ALL ENTRIES, all the records would be selected here while this applies for the original query only if the WHERE clause consisted of the 'f IN range_tab' condition.
FOR ALL ENTRIES should also be used if the Open SQL statement contains several range tables.Then (probably) the most extensive of the range tables which fill the second condition is chosen as a FOR ALL ENTRIES table.
OR
What you could do in your code is,
prior to querying;
since your select options parameter is ultimately an internal range table,
1. split the select-option values into a group of say 3000 based on your limit,
2. run your query against each chunck of 3000 parameters,
3. then put together the results of each chunk.
For further reading, you might want to have a look at the Note# 13607 as the first suggestion is what I read from the note.

What's the maximum size and length that go onto a DVD

I'm trying to put a whole load of home videos onto DVDs. What is the maximum size that can be burnt onto a DVD. There are a lot of hours on here, about 15 and I was hoping to try and get about 3 hours per DVD is this possible?
Thanks
Tom

If you're referring to a video DVD which will plan on a TV set via a DVD player then a single layer DVD disk can hold 120 minutes of playing time which includes the basic material and any animated menus in the project.
A double layer disk can hold 240 minutes.
If you are creating a data disk with the files copied to it then its a matter of grouping the files into batches of either slightly less than 4.7 GB for single layer and 9.4 GB for double layer.
if you're referring to video DVD discs follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Get out of memory error when linking Frame doc to RoboHelp project

I just upgraded to TC Suite 5.
Now I'm trying to link FrameMaker files to my RoboHelp project. The FrameMaker files are from a document that was done in Frame 9 (TC Suite 3.5) and now has been converted to Frame 11. It's working fine in Frame 11. No errors when opening any of the files in Frame 11.
I created a new project in RH 11 and tried linking the FM files to it. Some work, but some bring on an Out of Memory message. Interestingly, one file that is 68MB worked fine, one file that's only 58MB brings that message.
I'm going to try using an Externalize Graphics addon that worked well with the old Frame--I can only hope it works with FM 11 now.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening, and any solutions besides externalizing the graphics and trying to reduce the file size?
Thanks.

I was finally able to get the files to work by opening and saving in FrameMaker numerous times.
Re: your questions. . . I did not try importing directly. I linked and then generated. Yes, the linking did work with RH9 from the TCS 3.5.

Tips for using 3D camera to avoid maximum size issues?

Hi
I'm doing a project with lots of camera moves, and type flying past camera, but i'm getting constant 'the maximum size is 4096x4096' issues, even to the point where some projects freeze when i open them. What are good practices to avoid these issues when using entirely 3D scenes?
Thanks alot guys
aaron

Just to explain a bit more. Basically i'm not using any hires images, all i'm doing is moving text that is used as a particle very very close to the camera (effectively zooming right into the letterforms), and the text has a particle trail (over other text). Everytime i get close to the letterforms, i get the dreaded 'the image is too large' error message. Is there any way i can avoid this when trying to zoom in close to stuff?

Aperture database maximum size

is there any recommendet maximum size for Libs ?
I´m using an iMac 4GB RAM Intel dual core

Don't know what the absolute limit might be; there are some here with well over 100,000 images. Practical limits are:
-- Around 10,000 images in a single project. As I think of projects as rolls of film, my largest is only 200-300 images.
-- Physical disk space. A "managed" library cannot span more than one logical volume. But the largest element in your library is likely to be your master images, not your indices or previews, so by moving your master images out of the library ("referenced" masters) you can scatter them over any number of volumes. As shown by Kevin Doyle's research, only the indices/versions/previews need be on a fast drive. So, with the masters removed from your library, and the library placed on a fast, internal drive, you can manage a lot of images. Takes a little care and attention, but works very well. (Sierra Dragon, among others, is a strong proponent of this structure. Search some of his posts.)
The occasional defrag of the library itself speeds up scrolling, searching, and exporting. The master images themselves, as they are never rewritten, do not fragment. (Unless, of course, they were fragmented when first written.)
What is your problem or worry?

Set Maximum size for a subpanel created with splitter bars in LV8

Does anyone know how to set the Maximum size for a subpanel created with asplitter bar? If I show one cluster in the subpanel and use the scroll bar to scroll, I can see more (blank) area than I want. I just want the user to be able to scroll a cluster within a subpanel while the cluster is larger than the view area of the subpanel. I don't want to let the user scroll outside the cluster.

Set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF

Hi All,
How to set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF.
I have a RTF whch is having a field in that i need to add some validation condition but after adding certain condition in Add help text tab ,it is not accepting after certain length, how i can increase the length to unlimited,please help me on this
Thnaks

Form fields have some restrictions if your are using version lower than 11g.
They can accommodate only 393 chars. You can add the text in both status bar and help key, which can in total consume 393 chars.
If your code logic is more than that, it can be split into multiple form fields as Avinash suggested or you can use sub template logic and handle coding over there. Again in sub template code can be within/outside form fields.
So there is no option for user to increase the size of form field.
