Problem creating several image maps (linking to different pdf files) RoboHelp 8

Hi,
I have a problem creating several image map hotspots (that link to different .pdf files), from the same image using RoboHelp 8 HTML (WebHelp project).
After compiling, the first image map hotspot created, opens the .pdf file correctly. Unfortunately, when clicking on the other image hotspots, I get an error " Cannot find file...<file path>... Make sure path or Internet address is correct".
All the pdf documents are located in the same folder within the project.
Can anyone help?

Have you added the target files as baggage?

Can you create an image map that will link to a different element on the same page?

I have used image maps before and know how to create an image map to link to a new page. In this case, however, I want to be able to click on my image using an image map and load a new image with text on the same page as the image map. Is this even possible? Is there some sort of behavior that allows you to create same-page links, perhaps using AP divs? I want the end result to be a type of gallery that loads different images depending on where you click on the main image.
Again, I don't even know if this is possible. Any suggestions on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Go to this site and mouse over the image map of South America.

Is that what you are looking for?
Insofar as linking to a position on the same page, do a Help search (F1) in DW for "named anchors."

Mistake creating an Image Map

Hello, I have a problem with my Image Map. Here are my steps:
1.Create areas for the Image Map
2.Create the Image Map with areas
3.upload the image
4.create the OTH file
5.Enable rendering information option
6.Create KM navigation iView and its layout set mode as default
All references for directories and for my pic are OK but it doesn´t show any Image Map. I need help please!
Thank you

Hi,
   You can follow this example:
In KM, image maps are used for a graphical depiction of folder contents. These objects are displayed using graphics instead of in their normal text form.
Step 1 Determine the image you want to use for navigating. This can be any JPG or GIF file. In this example I will reference the file world.gif.
Step 2 Configuring an image map. Take your image file world.gif and place it in the system. For our example place the file in the path: ../knowledgemanagement/etc/public/graphics. The subdirectory graphics was created within the public folder.
Step 3 In the documents folder, create the following folders:
World
     Within the World folder, create the subfolders:
     North America
     South America
     Europe
     Asia
Note: you can create as many folders as you like. This structure will serve as the navigation structure for world.gif image map.
Step 4 Determine the navigation coordinates for the image world.gif. Any tool can be used, for this example the tool GeoHTML was used. It is a freeware tool that can be downloaded from http://www.fegi.ru/geohtml.
The following coordinates were determined for the folders:
     North America: 253, 255, 303, 285
     South America: 424, 171, 474,201
     Europe: 368, 43, 418, 73
     Asia: 276, 37, 326, 67
Step 5 Create new link-sensitive Areas for the image map. Menu path: Configuration -> Content Management -> User Interface -> Image Maps -> Areas
Please note, an area would need to be defined for each area on the image map that would be link-sensitive areas.
Step 6 Defining an Image Map. In this step the name of the image map will be defined as well as specifying the path of the image, the tooltip, and lastly assigning the areas.
Step 7 Configure an Object Type Handling (OTH) file for the image map. OTH files are located in the /oth subdirectory within the /etc repository. Copy an existing OTH file in this subdirectory and copy it to world.oth. In This OTH file, define the navigation path, collection renderer, layout controller, action and image map. The OTH file should look as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ObjectTypeHandler Name="Image Map world"
Class="com.sapportals.wcm.service.objecttypehandler.GenericObjectTypeHandler">
<SelectionCriteria>
<Paths>
    <Path>/documents/World</Path>
</Paths>
</SelectionCriteria>
<Properties>
<Property Key="rndCollectionRenderer"              Value="ImageMapRenderer"/>
<Property Key="LayoutController"                   Value="DefaultLayoutController"/>
<Property Key="rndShowActions"                      Value="false"/>
<Property Key="rndMap"                      Value="MapOfWorld"/>
</Properties>
<Actions/>
</ObjectTypeHandler>
Step 8 Display the image map. For the navigation iView that is being used, ensure that the iView property Layout Set Mode is set to default.
Step 9 Reload the object type handler in order for the system to read the new oth file world.oth. This can be done by within the Rendering Information link in any navigation iView for a user that is specified in the Debugging Settings (this is done in the user interface configuration).
Another option to reloading the object type handler would be restarting the J2EE engine.
Step 10 In the navigation iView for this mage map, navigate to the image map. In this example, the menu path would be documents/World
Patricio.
ps: If you want I can send you complete example.

Image Map Linked to Text w/in Same Topic (RoboHelp 10)

I would like to create an image map using certain text that resides in the same topic as the image. I do not want the user to see the text when viewing online; I only want them to see the pop-up when they click on the mapped image. I do, however, want the text to print if the user chooses to do so. I've been playing around with bookmarks and conditional flags but can't seem to get it to function properly. Can what I'm trying to do be done?

I doubt this is achievable, certainly not within the Rh interface. You could link the image to a popup but it would have the content of another topic set up for the purpose. As such it would not be included when you print the topic with the image.

Image map links not working in all browsers

Hi, I develop HTML marketing emails once a week and my boss
has recently informed me that some, not all, of the image mapping
links do not work in all browsers or emails i.e. MacMail, Opera,
Safari, etc. He's positive there's something in Dreamweaver that
makes the links universally accommodated no matter what email/web
browser you use, but I haven't been able to find a solution as of
yet.
Any help on this would be appreciated, thanks!
:music;

Let's start with the least critical issue. Your boss and his
boss are
simply wrong. An HTML link is just an HTML link, whether
created in DW or
in Notepad.
Now, on to the meat. When you upload this page to the web, do
the links
work? And when you say that they don't work, what do you
mean? Do you mean
that when you click on them, you are not taken to the linked
page? Which
links are not working?
Finally, why do you have your mapped image also within an
anchor tag?
<a href="
http://www.beyondthewall.com/xcart/giftcert.php"><img
src="Slice.jpg" width="263" height="58" border="0"
usemap="#Map" /></a>
Is that the one where the link doesn't work?
Can you post a link to this page on the web, please?

Hi , my problem is that i can only create absolute links to other pdf-files in a main pdf-file. how can i switch to or create relative links. Thanks for help!

I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.

How can I create a link to a pdf file and show it in the same webpage or in a new tab

It is no problem to create a link. But the formats are limited and - unbelievable - the pdf format is not supported??!
Where are the parameter (_blank or _self) to show it for example in the same webpage or in a new tab??!

PDF is media. It is not a web document. Your end users must have plug-ins and helper apps installed on their device to see PDFs in browsers. Depending on their settings, the PDF file may or may not launch in the browser window. On my system, PDF files download and launch inside Acrobat Professional; not my browser.
The safest approach is to provide a screenshot on your page with a direct link to the PDF file so people can handle it as they wish. See example: http://www.adobe.com/manufacturing/3dpdfsamples/3dsolutions/

Create a button to link to a pdf

I created a button to link to a pdf but i cant get it to pull up when i click the button. Ive tried editing the index.asp file where the button resides but im having no luck. Can anyone help me?

I infer that you are speaking of a form element button. You need not use a form to do this, just a hyperlink applied to the image of a button.
I am unfamiliar with asp, but in straight html, all you need is an a tag wrapped around the 'button':
<a href="[path to pdf]">button image</a>

Can I create a custom table of contents and link to other .pdf files based on responses to a form?

Hey Everyone! First post ever, so bear with me:
I'm trying to create a streamlined method to use a form to let myself and others add information and select certain options to put together a custom table of contents. Basically, I would like to have a form with a series of text fill and single/multiple choice options that will automatically populate a table of contents based on the selections and will link to other .pdf files that are associated with the selections. I was hoping this would be possible with a form, but I'm relatively new to the function of the software as a whole and my research came up short. Any suggestions on how to start are more than welcome, and if I wasn't quite clear enough I would be happy to elaborate.
Thanks for your time!

You would need to search for other PDF creation software that can accomplish what you desire.
There are many cheaper PDF creation alternatives other than Adobe's Acrobat Pro software.
Also, try doing a web search under these terms to see if you can find an app/software/solution that may work for you.

Create a link to a PDF file inside a .folio file.

Hi All! Can I insert a link to a PDF file inside DPS .folio, as you can see in the Adobe app: "Adobe& higher education"?
How can I do that? I think it isn't a web content, what is it?
Thanks in advance for you collaboration.

Dear Bob,
some mounths ago, you aswer me about the possibility of adding a PDF file inside a .folio and you told me to see the Advanced Overlays issue of the free DPS Tips app for an example and instructions.
Now, I'm looking for that example inside the DPS Tips, but I can't find it anymore. Have you removed the article?
I remember when I tryed everything worked well, but now I can't repeat the operation and I need to see again the right steps to do this operation.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

How can I combine different pdf files in one?
created by Sara.Forsberg in Adobe PDF Pack - View the full discussion
Hi Flávia,
Adobe PDF Pack is an online subscription--it definitely allows you to combine several files into one PDF file. For more information about PDF Pack, see Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack. If you don't have the full version of Acrobat, this is a great solution for combining PDF files.
However, if you're using Acrobat (not Adobe Reader), you combine files by following these steps:
Open a PDF file that you want to add pages to.
Click the Pages pane on the Tools panel (on the right side of the application).
Click Insert From File, and choose the file that you want to combine with the PDF that you opened in step 1.
Make any changes necessary in the Insert Pages dialog box--these settings determine where the new file will be inserted.
Click OK.
Please let me know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How do I link to a .pdf file in a blog post?

I have a created a new blog post and want to link to a .pdf file. I have the file loaded to the file manager but when I click on the link icon in the editor the only files that show up are web pages.
Is there a way to link to a file other than setting up the link other than writing the HTML by hand?

I totally agree with you on the confusion of that form for the literature module. Even after I have used it a lot I still find myself trying to upload the file at the same time. As you say - it only makes sense. But you'll get used to it. ;-)
As far as the module way of doing it instead of coding it in, there is so much more flexibility this way. In your example you have one document which isn't bad ... but what if you had to list 100 documents in your page that are located in several different locations on the server? Now it's a simple task of adding one tag and your done.
Other advantages:
1: Your documents can be found in the site search
2: Recods and displays file type and size to the viewer so they can choose to download it or not.
There is more but after years of the individual code way, I so love this Literature Module and the flexibility it gives.
