Missing images in CHM file
I am generating CHM help for French, English, German and other languages using RH10. Each time I generate CHM file, images goes on missing from the final output . I could not locate images in Image folder of Project Manager although images are there in the default Test folder of the project.
Hi there
When you open your project, does RoboHelp issue any warnings about links or whatever?
When you open the topics in the editor, do you see the images there?
Sounds to me like that you have somehow inserted images from a location outside your project. You likely need to ensure all the images get copied into the project. To do this, just create a single topic. Then repeatedly insert images into that topic.
Cheers... Rick

Missing Images in swf file in dreamweaver
Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me. I made a image slide show
in Flash (CS3) and wanted to put in in Dreamweaver (CS3). I
published the file in flash and went over to dreamweaver and did
the insert - media - flash command and added the .swf
When I test the movie, the buttons and the frame shows up but
not the images. Any ideas on why? When I test the html file, it
works fine. When I test the movie its self, it works fine too. Its
only when it is in the Dreamweaver file do the images disappear.
1. I have the required AC_RunActiveContent.js. file with my
swf.
2. I tried copying the code from the html file that was
generated by my swf, but when I test the file in dreamweaver, an
error comes up saying that i need the AC_RunActiveContent.js.
3. I have flash files on the site that work just fine, it is
just this one that is being stupid. I published it as flash version
7, 8 and 9. Nothing works.
Thanks for your help in advance!
GabYou haven't told us whether you are using RH for Word or RH HTML to generate your CHM.
Please read Before You Post as it has been written to help you get a quicker reply. I will shortly be travelling and unable to pick up your reply for most of the day so unless anyone else can chip in once you advise us which, there will be a delay in helping you.
If RH HTML:
Your problem sounds like this one - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/490223?tstart=0 as there the images show in Windows Explorer but not in Project Manager or the WYSIWYG.
You say
When I generate the chm file there is mentioned that no graphic is loaded.
Do you mean there is an error message? What exactly does it say?

Albums missing images yet .apalbum files contain their references
I have a project with about 4,000 color transparency scans. I organized the slides into about 150 albums in December 2006. I recently discovered that sometime between then and now (several Aperture version upgrades) about 1/3 of the albums (seemingly a random assortment) contain no images. However the images still exist in the parent project.
If I look in the .apalbum files of the empty albums I see an array of versionUuids which correspond to the missing images. If I search for those versionUuids in the appropriate .apimportgroup directory I can find the name of the image files. Using a manual search and rescue I can reconstruct the albums.
I'm looking for a way to get Aperture to reconstruct the albums itself - saving the time it will take for me to do it manually. I've tried rebuilding the library by launching Aperture and holding down CMD-OPT. I've also tried the more severe method of removing the Aperture.aplib directory and ApertureData.xml file and then rebuilding the libraries. Neither restored the albums.
Are there any other tricks that might get Aperture to reconstruct the albums?
ThanksI am not expert in these, but please check out the following things and see whether it would solve your issue. (All these changes can be easily rolled back in case I'm wrong :). So make note of what you do)
As per your httpd.conf, you have chosen an automatic configuration of Apache by OWCI installer itself. What it does is create an imageserver.conf file in a separate directory and these settings will be included in your httpd.conf as you can see in the first line: Include "C:/bea/alui/plumtreeconf/".
If you check the imageserver.conf in that location, you would find a line like: Alias /imageserver/ "C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/". This aliases the original path "C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/" to /imageserver"
To confirm whether this is done right, check the following:
1. Acces 'http://<server ip / server name / localhost >/' from your browser
This should display the Apache home page (as per your httpd.conf, it uses the default port 80; so no port number required)
2. Access 'http://<server ip>/imageserver/' from your browser
This should display the directory structure (if its not disabled) inside your 'C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/' folder. Also confirm that all the subfolders are accessible.
3. If all the above is right, it means that your imageserver settings are right. Please check your portalconfig.xml for the correct settings: For example, <setting name="HTTPPort"> should be 7001 in your case. If its something else, change it and restart Weblogic for the settings to take effect.
Hope this helps. -
IWeb site update problem-app missing images/files, but site is ok
I created and uploaded a web site to my .mac (yeah, MobileMe) and it displays just fine. I have visited it from a couple of different comps. The problem is that I want to add/update files/pages, but when I open iWeb, several of the images/audio files do not display: shows a x-through and a centered question mark. They are in the sites idisk folder and in the laptop's copy of the files. When I try to replace the missing images/files by dragging onto the iWeb drafting page the following message appears: "the file can't be used because you don't have access privileges, or because it contains no content or was corrupted."
I'm afraid to make any updates for fear of losing what is already published.
Extra info: have family pack and am switching between .mac accounts because iWeb published to the iDisk corresponding to the account/sub-account you are logged into (BIG pain in the ***! It should have a password protected account toggle like Panther used). I have double-checked that the files for this site are only in the one iDisk account (am redirecting my masked domain url to the .mac iDisk server-works great.
Any ideas?The upgrade from '06 to '08 which changed the domain.sites to a domain.sites2 caused more confusion, disasters and lost web sites than the bug ridden introduction of '09.
I ended up rebuilding all my sites from new, blank domain files in '08 and the conversion to '09 went OK apart from '09's nasty habit of changing media file links.
Fortunately, I have very little QuickTime content and don't use the iWeb Photos, Albums Blog or Podcast templates.
Most iWeb built sites look pretty awful when users stick to the default page width. I start from a Blank, Black or white page and trash everything on it.
I use the "standard" 980 px page width and most, if not all, of the iWeb themes do not adapt to this.
This is why I constantly ask the question. "Do the iWeb developers actually build any websites with the application?".
Perhaps if they did, we would get more bug free releases and some of the features that "real life" users are requesting. -
what is the best way to reconcile the iphoto, aperture, and lightroom catalogues, to ensure that no files have been lost? my macbook pro (2008) quit on me recently and i think that i am missing image files now. also i should say that i am backing up my iphone to the machine and not the cloud.
i should also say that i am now using a 27 inch imac (2011)

CHM file looks fine on my Desktop - but Topic contents missing in Dropbox
When I try to zip the .CHM file and mail it to the developer or when I upload it to Dropbox everything seems to be fine. The file is 5.8 MB (72 Topics)
But when he tried to open it all he sees are the purple "books" and the individual Topic Titles - but the Topic pages are not appearing.
What am I doing wrong?
He also needs the mapping numbers for all 72 Topics. I generated these - now how do I send them to him?
Where is the file I need and what is it called (BCCSDefualt.h ?)
I am using RoboHelp 10 on a Windows 7 computer - haven't used RoboHelp in 6 years so I am very rusty!
Peter Thayer
Thayer Birding SoftwareHi there
It's because of the security restrictions Microsoft implements for CHM files.
Have your recipient save the file to their local hard drive before opening it. If there is still no content visible after doing that, they will need to "unblock" using the instructions at the link below:

Help importing a decompiled .chm file
Hello,
I was recently trying to decompile a .chm file (following the
knowledge base instructions) and then importing that file into
RoboHelp. The file appeared to decompile correctly, but when I
loaded the project into RoboHelp, many images were missing. Is
there something else I should be doing or is this a known problem?
I am using RH6.
Thanks,
AaronHmm...
Ok, I tried a couple things:
1. Created the folder in RH per both of your suggestions.
Result: RH still not seeing the files.
2. Create a new Sub-Folder in the Project directory folder
containing a copy of all the images and also created a folder with
the same name in the RH Images tree.
Result: RH still not seeing the files.
In all cases the files exist in the expected folders when
viewed in Explorer but only a subset appear in RH (the same subset
in all cases).
My dir structure looks like:
c:\project_folder containing all files
with
c:\project_folder\project_images containing a copy of the
image files
I have created a folder in the RH Image tree names
project_images.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks for the help (and putting up with my lack of knowledge
here).

Index in .chm file is incorrect
Hi,
I'm using RoboHelp X5 with Windows XP SP3. I have an index that is correct in RoboHelp but not in the .chm file. In RoboHelp, I have General Ledger as a keyword and several sub-keywords. However, in the .chm file, the sub-keywords show up under General Ledger Journal instead of General Ledger. I've attached screen shots of both at the bottom of this post, and I've pasted the applicable section of the project's .hhk file. (The .hhk file is really long, so I didn't want to insert the whole thing.)
While troubleshooting this issue, my coworker changed the keyword from General Ledger to General edger, and that fixed the problem, but obviously we can't keep it that way.
I tried the following:
Compared that section of the HHK file to others. I may have missed something, but it looked OK to me.
Started the project, deleted the HHK file, and then saved a change to the index so RH regenerated the HHK file.
Deleted the .cpd file.
Deleted and reentered all of the keywords.
When the issue first started, the General Ledger subkeywords appeared under Future Periods instead of General Ledger Journal - I'm not sure what I did to change that, but I think it was when I deleted and then reentered the Future Periods keyword.
Unfortunately, none of these worked.I saw another thread with a similar issue where the solution was to create a second index and copy the keywords to it, but I don't think X5 allows a second index.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

</html>Hi there
Are you using any Build Tags along with a Build Expression to control the output?
I ask because the screen capture of the CHM seems to intimate that General Ledger is absent from the list. If it was linked to a topic and the topic was removed from the build, it would seem to make sense.
Cheers... Rick

Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.
SUMMARY
Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
.chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
PROBLEM
1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
file?”. The buttons that are available are
“Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
program event is played (the “Windows XP
Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
Other Notes:
- The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
“View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
HTML project.
- Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
- A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
(iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
WORKAROUND
Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
following steps:
1. Leave the .chm file open.
2. Open Internet Explorer.
3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
the “General” tab.
5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
click the “Delete Files…” button.
6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
“Delete all offline content” and then click
“OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
Files” dialog box closes.
7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
Options” dialog box.
8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
will now work.

“View Files…”
- An XLS or DOC file will be listed here if I click its
hyperlink and then click either “Open” or
“Save” from the “File Download – Security
Warning” dialog box.
- A file will appear here even if I click “Save”
and then click “Cancel” from the subsequent “Save
As” dialog box.
- If I click “Cancel” from the “File

Today is 12/18/06 so the only program file that is listed as
having been “Last Accessed” today is the
“Shockwave Flash Object”.
REQUEST FOR HELP
I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.

Missing images and not able to use copy and paste anymore - just blank rect
Hello!
I've a problem that really scares me.
I use severall png and pdf images. But at one point keynote looses the media and just displays these grey rectangles instead of some images. I tried to figure out if it just happens with pdf images and replaced the missing pdf images through png24 images with transparency. It first worked fine (they showed up) and then it tells images can not be saved. If I open the presentation again, the images are missing. And it seems that the more images and slides i put in the presentation, the more images are missing…
But there is more: I even can't copy and paste these images anymore. If I try to copy one of the images I just have replaced (because they have been lost by saving), it just pastes the blank grey rectangle instead of the image.
This really is a problem because I now have to repetitive tasks (like same animation for the same image in the same size) over and over again. And when I save the doc – they are al gone again…
It really scares me and I don't have an idea how to solve this.
It also happens, if I repleace an pdf image with an png image and than try to copy this new png image. However I am able to drag the image from the Finder again.
I am working on a PB G4, 1.5 GHz, 1 GB RAM.
My Keynote Version is 3.0.2.
The Keynote Dokument is saved and opened from a G4 X-Serve wich is only used by Macs (so no Windows Filesystem anywhere). I still have anough space on both, my local and the server volume. I don't transfer the Keynote document. So it should not be a problem with the names on the files… And the files are just exported from Adobe Illustrator (png 24 files with "save for web" and the pdf files are saved as Illustrator pdf) – so they should really be fine and not corrupted…
At this time the Keynote document has a size of 179 MB (because of a video) and only 16 slides. And the theme was built from scratch – so no import from Powerpoint or so…
I looked through the Keynote preferences and found a thing like (sorry self-translated from german version to english) "scale placed images to slide-size". I wondered if keynote saves a copy of the sacaled image after that and corrupts the image itself? But I don't think so.
I've had these problems with earlier versions of Keynote, but it occured just sporadically and I could solve it through pasting it again. But this time I can not solfe it anymore.
Does anybody encounter same problem? Or has a hint?
I really would appreciate, because I have to finish the presentation very soon and are not able to work properly with that. Furthermore, I am scared of saving and opinging the presentation again, because the lost files can not be replaced…I now have a hint:
As a colleague said, he encountered some problems with usagerights on our fileserver (XServe). He said he wasn't able to read files he put on the server himself again…
If this is true, the same could have happened to Keynote for placed images, as Keynote writes these images as separate files in the doc package…
I will try to work on my local volume and see if it solfes the problem.
But sooner or later I will have to place the whole thing on the server again…
Do you think this is the reason? -
Link to a pdf page on web from a chm file
Hello,
I'm using RoboHelp 9.0.2. I'm trying to create a link in a chm file to a specific pdf page using a URL. The link I am using is http://www.actuarialstandardsboard.org/pdf/exposure/ASOP_No27_second%20exposure_2011.pdf#p age=41
I put the above line in my chm file. It appears correctly in the URL project list and shows correctly when I choose Show. It also apeears to be correct in the HTML code of the page.
However when I create the chm clicking on the link just brings me the start of the pdf file. After clicking on the link in the chm file and explorer opens, the URL in explorer does not show #page=41. It ends at.pdf.
Am I missing something or does anyone kno whys this is not working?
Thanks
JohnHi there
That link doesn't even work for me when I paste it into the address bar of my Firefox browser. It does work in IE, but not in Firefox. In Firefox it opens the PDF generically.
I tested in a CHM and it did try and link, but it presents a black page. Looks like the correct page, but it's blacked out.
CHM files rely upon elements of Internet Explorer to display their content. So perhaps it's something specific to a certain version of Internet Explorer as well as a certain version of the Acrobat Reader.

Plus/Minus Squares in .chm file
Hi Everyone...
Two questions, thanks in advance for the help. FYI: Using RoboHelp HTML, ver 8 with a project that has multiple folders and topics; also using it in a shared environment with multiple users, using RoboSource for version control.
1. Any ideas as to how I can enable the "Plus/Minus Squares" option in HTML Help - Advanced Settings? I want to generate a .chm file that has the plus and minus signs next to the book icons. I found the settings in the HTML Help Options - Microsoft HTML Help but they're grayed out. Trying to figure out how I can enable them so I can generate the .chm with the signs in help file output.
2. I have two topics that "disappear" everytime I go out of RoboHelp and come back in. I need to import them each time I open the project. I can see them in RoboSource. I can't find any way to unhide them -- I swear there was a way to just "unhide" them from RoboSource that I've used in the past but can't remember how I did it (senior moment, that won't end....).
Thanks!!Hi there
I'm not sure exactly why, but this goes back to the eHelp days. In their infinite wisdom, the developers decided that you would never ever want Plus Minus Squares unless you FIRST wanted Lines From Root!
So enable the Lines From Root and the Plus Minus squares should become enabled.
On the topics you don't see, I'm wondering if at some point you saw a message about files being outside the project and therefore not being shown in RoboHelp. If so, there was a dialog with a check box you could select that says "Don't show me this again". And sure enough, you aren't seeing the message that alerts you there are missing files.
Cheers... Rick

Error: The following required field is missing from the launch file: jnlp
PLEASE help me.
I was at Starbuck's today trying to install new software for my new wireless internet card and when I finished I could no longer access any of my applications that require java... I have a macbook pro dual platform computer. When I try to access www.bayphoto.com to download my application it says: (see below) (which I think is strange because it's all about Starbuck's and it should be my java code- I think...). Like I said - I have no idea what's going on or how to fix this. Please help me or at least tell me whom to call- I feel so stupid- I just need help- ATT? Starbuck's? Sun?

TOO LONG TO INCLUDE ALL CODE<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp codebase="file:///C:\eclipse\workspace\studentconverter\webroot" href="studentconverter.jar" >two things wrong here -
first codebase is not legal URL, File.separator (backslash on windows) needs to be converted to forward slash in URL's.
second, the href is not to the jnlp file, it is to the jar !
href="studentconverter.jar" - should this be href="studentconverter.jnlp" ?

Problem with opening a chm file in java.
Hi all,
I m having an application in which i need to open a chm file from some gui interface. I m using the following code for that...
Process theProcess =Runtime.getRuntime().exec("hh.exe RWXml.chm");
it is working fine on my machine. But when i deploy the code on other machine, It shows some windows error. And when i give the same command on commandline it is working fine. Can anybody tell me that what's wrong with this code.
ThanksNothing to do with ID. It really means what it says - your file permissions are hosed and it being an ID file this could include things like fonts or placed images referenced within it.

Performance impact on the size of the CHM file
Is there any impact on performance depending on the size of a
CHM file?The main issues people have with help file performance
(regardless of whether it is a CHM file) are related to the number
of images, DHTML hotspots, bookmarks and links they have in a
topic. The number of topics in a CHM should not be an issue. What
exactly are you trying to access the performance impact of?
Maybe you are looking for
