Printing from a Help File

Hello everyone!
I've been searching these forums and clicking on links for a couple hours now and haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. If this topic already exists, my apologies for the duplicate! Also, I'm a new-ish user to RoboHelp. Have never really received any training, I just usually figure things out by trial and error and by looking through the forums here. So if I give you useless information, hang in there! I just want to make sure that I give all the information that is required for this issue. Also...and most exciting...I just got the rest of the week off!! Five Day Weekend here I come! So I won't be able to add anything or answer questions till Tuesday!
I'm working in RoboHelp HTML 6. (I think version 099, if that matters.) I've created a Helpfile that we have loaded to our company website. When creating the file to upload to the website, I used WebHelp under Single Source Layouts. It all works wonderfully, but now some clients want to be able to print each module individually. I have created Print Documents for each module under Single Source Layouts and I've read about buttons to link to that so clients can print them but I can't figure out how to put the "button" in the main page of each module so the client can print it. Or if they use the Print button on their browser, how I link the Print Documentation to that page. (The print documentation is in PDF format.)
So what am I missing? How do I link the print documentation to the page in the online help document for clients to use?
Have a fabulous weekend!!

Hi there
Here is how you do it. First, you add your print documents to the list of Baggage files. Just right-click the Baggage pseudo folder and add the file. After you do that, you are able to create links from topics to the baggage file. Just insert some text or an image, then select it and drag the baggage file from the Baggage files area to the selected text.
It really can't be much simpler than that, eh?
Cheers... Rick

  • Is it possible to link a topic from another help file?

    I apologized if topic has been discussed/answered. I was
    wondering if it is possible to link a topic from another help file?
    So, basically my client has a help file .chm that was created by
    someone else. I am brought in to create another help file. so,
    basically for the help file that i'm creating a topic call vacation
    hours but this topic is already in the previous help file instead
    of including that in the new help file can i create some see also
    link to this topic in the previous help file and the topic vacation
    hours from the previous help file display once someone click on the
    link. please let me if this possible and how i can do this.
    thank in advance
    bob

    Hi, Bob, and welcome,
    Yes, you can create links from one .chm file to another. The
    HTML syntax is as follows:
    <a
    href="TargetHelpFile.chm::/path_to/TargetTopic.htm">Link
    text</a>
    For example:
    <a href="htmlhelp.chm::/topics/chmweb.htm">Click here
    for more information</a>
    To ensure that you're specifying exactly the right path
    information to the target topic:
    1) Open the target help file.
    2) Display the required topic.
    3) Right-click it and then, on the context menu, select
    Properties.
    In the resulting properties dialog box, you can copy the path
    information out of the Address field and abbreviate it
    appropriately (you need the name of the target .chm file and
    everything that follows it).
    For this type of link to work, the target help file must be
    in the same folder as your source help file or in the Windows Help
    folder, or it must be registered under the following key in the
    Windows registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\HTML Help

  • Hp lazerjet m1212 problem printing from Vista, Acrobat files

    My printer is installed and printing everything except Acrobat files, from internet files and local files.
    I have installed the latest Acrobat Reader X and I received the same error message as the previouse versions.
    Message: Before you can perform print-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer.
    I can see the printer in setup?
    Mickie

    This isn't for Vista, but may help.
    Please note that on the PC, you need to use a postscript driver, since the printer queue on a Mac expects to receive postscript (the Apple Color LaserWriter xx is good, or some HP Color Laserjet (postscript)).

  • How do I print from a Help page?

    Hi all.
    A newbie here.
    Quite regularly I find the need to use the help function on my OS 10.5.5 Mac and at times the help information is of considerable length, too long to write out long hand.
    My question, how can I get the printer to print from an open help page?
    I have clicked on all the tabs at the top of the page but no joy.
    In Windows I can just click Control and P at the same time and I get a print, but this does not appear to work with the Mac system, so how do I print?

    Thanks guys.
    The "Gear" method appears to be the simplest.
    I could have sworn that I checked EVERY tab and menu looking for a print option. I am damned if I know how I missed that one.
    It's a good thing I have you guys to help me out.
    Thanks to all.
    Regards

  • Is it possible to print using Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer from a pdf file ?

    Hi,
    I have a pdf file and I want to print using Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer so that the file to be uploaded to https://cloud.acrobat.com. Is this possible  ? Right now an email is received that "Adobe PDF Pack could not successfully convert your file filename.pdf to Adobe PDF. Your uploaded file type is not a supported format. Or pdf file type is not supported ?
    Thank you

    Hi adelon84,
    If the file is already a PDF, you can upload it directly to Acrobat.com. Just log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com using your Adobe ID and password, and click the Upload File icon (the cloud with an arrow), navigate to your PDF file, and click OK!
    (Once a PDF, no need to convert to PDF again!)
    Best,

  • Washed out text when printing from Acrobat Help?

    When I print PDFs from Adobe Acrobat all the text is washed out. It is supposed to be black but I get gray text.
    I have the print settings at rich text black.
    The print settings on Acrobat are 600dpi.
    It is not a printer issue as I get the same problem with 2 different printer that are different makes and models.
    It is a high resolution PDF with no image compression.
    The file prints fine from Indesign.
    I am running Acrobat Professional 8.2.3
    I am running CS 3 master suite
    any help is appreciated.
    thanks
    Trevor

    IF, (and that is a big if) the pdf is create some some type of text (word open office, pages, etc)  then open PDF  in acrobat and click on Touch up text tool
    (a Samll button with a capital "T" on it -without quote marks).
    Click on select all. then  File menu look for Properties. click on properties
    when window opens click on appearance tab.
    choose color by clicking on colored block. choose black.
    IF your document then your out of luck there are no fonts just a drawing of what appears to be fonts. You might use OCR on Document but then not all Characters might ocr so you would only be partially successful.

  • Errors ordering prints from Aperture, help?

    I've been trying since last night to order prints via Aperture.  They total around 150 prints.  Last night, I would select my images and they would start to upload.  The entire time, Aperture is listed as "application not responding" but the continued to upload.  When finished, I got a message that the order was complete and then got a billing error message.  I tried again and re-entered my card info, same issue.  My billing works fine for the app store (it did before and after the order attempts), it's not a billing issue.
    Today, I just entered a different card to see what happens.  Everything uploads and it tells me my order is complete.  However, I never recieved a receipt and there is no record of my order on the order status page.  When I tried to close A3, I get the message "You book is not complete...." so I select to continue uploading...even though the upload is complete. It's being going now like that for 3 hours.  This is crazy.  I just cancelled the order by closing out A3 now for the 8th time in 2 days...each upload takes about 20-30 minutes to complete.  Odd, my connections speeds are currently 22mbps download, 7 upload...a little slower than usual, so the hold up is on Apple's side.
    Has anyone had this issue before? Is there a fix for this?  I'm going nuts.  Thanks for any help!

    I called Apple Store support.  They were stumped too as I had tried everything they recommended, including chaning billing card that I use, etc.  Then they found a support document about print ordering issues and getting a white screen (which I don't get), this appears to have solved my issue. 
    Here is what I did. I did have to do BOTH steps.  Please note that "1-Click Settings" is no longer available, so used "Express Checkout" for those steps instead and it was fine.  I was able to put through a test order successfully and then cancel it.  My large order is now uploading.
    Delete the NetServices Keychain item:
    Quit Aperture if it is open.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Utilities.
    Double-click the Keychain Access application in the Utilities folder.
    Click Passwords in the Category list on the left side of the window.
    Click the NetServices item in the main window and press the delete key to remove it.
    Open Aperture and test.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue:
    Quit Aperture.
    Go to the Apple Online Store.
    From the Account menu to the left of the Cart icon, choose "1-Click Settings."
    Log in to your account with your Apple ID and password.
    Enable 1-Click for your account.
    If 1-Click is already enabled, choose Account Information from the Accounts dropdown.
    Change the password for your account.
    Open Aperture and test.

  • How can I print from Adobe Help?

    I've just upgraded to Lightroom 3 and can't find any way to print a section of the help docs. Adobe Help seems to not even have basic print functionality. It must be hiding somewhere surely. Can someone enlighten me?

    There's a link in the upper right corner to view the help as pdf, 
    and from there you can print as much as you want to, and with better 
    formatting than from a web page.
    Ah! Thank you Beat - I appreciate the quick response.

  • TIFFs won't print from my InDesign file

    I'm printing proofs from my InDesign document, and all my other linked graphics print, but any TIFFs will not. I've tried different printers and it's the same. Any ideas?

    OK, so do I want to make a copy of the folder, the "language" folder, like I've selected in the screen shot attached? And then I save that, rename it and place it somewhere else; then do the key command method to replace my InDesign preferences? Sorry, I'm not tech savvy and get nervous doing anything that I fear could really screw things up.

  • Printing from ipad - help for a beginner please

    I have downloaded the "Print to All.." app into my ipad 1.  I have an HP Photosmart Premium wireless printer. How do I print an e-mail?

    Have you consulted the Help pages?
    http://mobile.eurosmartz.com/help/help_index.html (assuming that's the correct app).
    However, if it is the correct app, the second line of the description in the AppStore says:
    "if you want to print email, docs, web pages or calendar etc, look at our other app "Print n Share""

  • Plug ins and rosetta from the help file

    does anyone know how to get safari to open with rosetta - to use plug ins better?
    I follow the instructions but cannot find the rosetta check box anywhere - screen shot helpful
    could it be my imac 1.9 G5 PPC doesn't have rosetta?

    thanks
    I'm trying to watch tv (live football) on my imac G5 and Safari is struggling with some of the pages. Can't download IE anymore and so I need to be able to find the required plug-ins to watch. for example: Safari can’t open “tvants://www.tvants.com/tvants/?k=b098b8443c47b932”
    also plug-ins required are a common error message.
    I think this technology may only work with PC's - a shame
    appreciate any help - have had a mac for years (since my Amiga became a relic!)
