Regarding TOC

Hi ,
I am using the evaluation version of Robohelp 7. I am
creating the TOC and some of the topics just dont get listed in the
TOC, though they are in the topic list. So i have to drag and drop
them in the TOC.
I am using Vista, is it a vista thing or a bug in Robohelp.
Thanks
Varuna

I think i was not able to get my question clear.....
When we add new topics to the project, they get listed in the
topic list as well as in the TOC.
But as i am adding some new topics, most of them are getting
listed in the TOC, but it's skipping few and they are just listed
in the topic list.
I hope i have explained it a bit better this time.

TOCs gone mad

Are there any bugs regarding TOCs in CS3 version 5.0.3 that we should be aware of? First, entries went missing when I tried to generate a TOC. Now, on a different file, I am trying to change the order I want the paragraph styles to show up in the table of contents and it just won't do it.
I have already performed both tasks on other InDesign documents and had no problems whatsoever. I really don't seem to understand why InD is not responding.
Completely frustrating...

Montana UK,
I have not installed such a program. I am one of those few N900 users whom actually know why the phone rotational settings (default) are the way it is.....IT IS A TABLET. So it is meant for dual hand operation with the exception of number dialing to place calls . So I never was one of those to complain or seek out apps which will make all features operational in potrait mode.

An answer regarding language and TOC

I am writing this little post because I know how frustrated you can become about small, small things. Things that make your book not entirely into your own language. I have posted questions in many threads - and finally got a solution for us who are not English-speaking (or -writing).
1. When you open iBA, make sure the language on your mac is switched to the language you prefer. (I think they have to do something about this - because I prefer to have the language on my mac to be in English because I always visit lots of international forums for help about other matters.)
2. Open your IBA document - go to the text-inspector and choose your language in the scroll-menu.
And from now on: If you have already made a book without taking care of these steps.: Open a new book and paste the chapters from your old book one by one. For my book (500 meg), it took me less than 5 minutes to copy all of it.
But of course: It's a shame the developers has not made a "how to". Thinking about how many hours/years we have spent!
This solution is, however, not mine. I asked a question in another thread and got a good answer from a guy with the nickname jonatan137. His answer solved everything. I love this guy

I don't see Apple adding the ability to choose your app language. They had this years ago and deleted it. Since then everyone uses the LanguageSwitcher app. Will that not also work, rather than changing the entire OS?
The language set in Text Inspector is only for spellcheck, it doesn't affect anything else about your book.

The ToC node is not getting selected although the help result pane displays the correct help page

I have followed steps given below for a merged project system:-
1. I created 3 projects Module_1 and Module_2.
2. Created the CHM output for the above 2 projects.
3. Created a Main project.
4. Merged the above 2 CHM in the project.
5. Created a new window and added Main.hhc in the TOC option under advance properties.
6. Generated html output for entire project Main.chm.
7. Decompile the ‘Main.chm’ and extracted the ToC file ‘Main.hhc’.
8. For each module project, imported ‘Main.hhc’ as a Baggage File, created window definitions same as Main project and with reference to ‘Main.hhc’.
9. Again generated html output for all the modules and copied both the CHM at the same place.
10. Now regardless of my entry point I am able to see entire ToC.
Issue: When I open Module_1.chm, the chm is displayed as follows, but Main book is highlighted instead of module 2 Book. As I have selected both the options, i.e. Auto-synchronize ToC and Always Show Selection option (when generating chm), Module 1 book should get selected.
Is there a way to control the selection in the LHS pane? I am working on a project which has 15 module chms and the chms are integrated with the application. When I press F1 on a module, the default topic is getting displayed and the respective module is not selected in the LHS pane.

Acrobat XI PRO: Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically in top, after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file

Hey
I have now tried for hours, but now I give up!
MY WISH -
Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file.
I have already bookmarks, shown on the screen (see screenshot below) but I want those bookmark to be visualised in a separate TOC in the top of the combined files.
This new TOC (which I have inserted) shall be printable and serve as a cover page in a binder.
I have seen other cheap pdf.programs in the market (e.g. PDF Converter Professional 7.3) which are able to make the above things, easy, fast and nice.

Creating a Table of Content (toc)

Hi
I am very new with Output designer, so please dont mind if it is a silly question.
I have to create a PDF report which has around 15-20 sections. I need a toc (table of content) at first page and at the specified position with page number for each section.
All the sections has some header and detail subforms, so pagenumber is not known at the begining for each sections. I am using xml file as the data file.
So can i use JFPREAMBLE to get the page number for different subforms, and write that on to the toc subform,
i did lot of mind storming but not able to resolve my problem, please help.
thanks and regards

Hello,
I was able to create a TOC for a recent customer in the UK.
Took a lot of work, but it worked.
You will have to create a TDF to get the data that you require to be on the TOC, but this is quite easy. The best way is to get the TDF to output the result as a seperate file, and then get the orginal data to call the file as the first thing that you do by using the ^file command
If you would like an example please drop me a line at [email protected]

Why is the left hand window and bar with the buttons for TOC/Search/Glossary not displaying in one client location?

Greetings all:
I have more years of experience with RoboHelp than I want to admit, but I have never run into this before. I have a published RoboHelp 9 project for an overseas client that displays exactly as it should when the published version is viewed by myself or another RoboHelp developer (not located where I am). However; the users at 1 of 2 two client sites do not see the left hand TOC window or the bar above the project with the buttons (the other site does see it). The users at both sites are using Internet Explorer 9, and I have been told there is no difference in their security set-up. I suspect that at the site where it is not displaying there is a security setting that is throwing it off, but I am not sure what to have them look for. Anyone have any ideas?
W. Keith

Do they not simply see the bar or is it empty? In the first situation, it seems they are opening the topic directly instead of via the start file.
What is the URL the users are using on both the locations? And do the users have a hyperlink 'Show' at the top of the topics?
Kind regards,
Willam

How can I create a linkable TOC on the left using Acrobat XI Pro?

I am completely new to making PDFs. I have a User Manual that I created in Word and would like to have a TOC on the left for easy access to the topics. How can I do this?

Geri ,
The same can be done in a PDF using Acrobat .
You can add bookmarks here.
On the left hand side of the page ,you will see few options on the pane.Choose the option bookmark and you can create ,expand or delete bookmarks from there.
That is equivalent to TOC in word.

Help please in creating a customised ToC in CS4

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a ToC in a long document in CS4 on WinXP. Though the text is complete, formatting and inserted illutrations are still in flux, so I would like to be able to make it updatable.
I'd like to have each Level 1 item appear with the chapter number, then the title of the chapter, and the page number to the right past a right-justified tab with dot leader. Level 2 items are indented, without the number to the left, and with the page number over to the right after a dot leader.
I've tried using both the ToC and the cross-reference features to achieve what I'm trying to do. Each one *almost* gets there, but not quite. The ToC doesn't seem to give me the chapter numbering to the left; cross-referencing does (as long as I type it in myself!), but all the cross-references are named the same in the dialogue (for instance, all the cross-refences to the page number of the chapter heading just appear as "#") and I can't find any way to rename them.
Can anyone please suggest a way to make this happen?

I'm not clear on what you want the TOC entries to look like. It would help to understand your request, if you'd post an example of what you expect to see. I'm just guessing below:
If you want a TOC entry to include the chapter number and title, then the paragraph that's extracted to the TOC needs to contain the chapter number and title.
To use the chapter number as a paragraph number, you need to include the Chapter Number token in the paragraph's numbering properties. To retain a paragraph's autonumber in the TOC, the Numbered Paragraphs item for the paragraph style, in the More Options area of the TOC dialog box, needs to be Include Full Paragraph.
To include the chapter title in the TOC, you need to have the chapter title in a paragraph style that's selected for extraction to the TOC.
If you want only one paragraph that contains the chapter number and chapter title for each chapter in the TOC, followed by the 2nd level items in that chapter, then you need a paragraph style in the chapter that contains the chapter number and title. If you don't want this paragraph to appear in the chapter, only in the TOC, you'll need to hide the paragraph either on a hidden layer, or in a tiny invisible text frame or anchored frame on the document page.
There's no need to use cross-references to accomplish this.

What are the best options for creating a PDF with bookmarks and a hyperlinked TOC?

What I'm interested in is whether or not there is an alternate process I could follow that would side step Word 2011's inability to export to PDF with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs. How do you create PDF documents with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs in your documents?
Some background:
In Word 2010 and 2013 for Windows (and I'm sure this applies to older versions as well), you can export documents to a PDF file format where the exported file will carry over the bookmarks and hyperlinked table of contents. Specifically, by making specific text headers, will appear in the final PDF file as bookmarks on the side (see image taken from Adobe's website).
Regarding the table of contents, using Word's built in Table of Contents feature successfully ports the ability to navigate to a specific section by clicking on its chapter in the table of contents to the finished PDF file.
I've read several forum discussions that say it's not possible to do this from Word 2011, so my current solution is to just finish all documents on a Windows machine (either with parallels or a separate computer). The alternate process flow of creating a word document, exporting it to PDF, then rehyperlinking everything in Acrobat is just too time consuming to consider.

Hi, beejasaurus
I found a possible kluge from this discussion here
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1008480
Create the hyperlinks in Word, save the file
Open that file with Pages, export as PDF.
The links work from that PDF.
Note, I did not try this with TOC but it worked with hyperlinks embedded in the Word document

Need Expert Advice regarding oracle and java objects

In our project, we are submitting data for many screens at a time. Some screens will have a list of records to be submitted. There is also some hierarchy among the data up to 4 levels.
In such a scenario, we need to know the best way to exchange data between Oracle and Java. Currently java holds the data as objects, where each object may contain an array of next level of objects in it.
Is it best approach to pass the entire data with hierarchy to Oracle using nested table approach and internally oracle handling the data? Is there any other way to do this?
Also in some scenarios we need to pass the entire information for all the screens in one shot with the hierarchy. So we need to know a solution for that also. Could you please help us in this regard?

Assign/Change page image in TOC - RoboHelp 9

I would like to have 2 sep. page images in my TOC. One = [?] and another indicating that a video link is contained on page. I changed the URL image link but can't find out how to assign the image to the page. Is this the way to go? If so, how do I assign the image to the page. --Thank you.

Hi there
First off, before I even write this I'm fully aware there is a strong possibility it will come off as me being argumentative. Please know up front that this is not my intent.

In the Image index box, select the image you want to apply to the contents entry.

You can create new images for any type of contents entry.
(nabbed from HTML Help Workshop Help) Note that you can use your own icons as well.
I'm just sayin.
This part is the real reason for my reply. I'm mystified as to why one would elect to use RoboHelp for all other authoring aspects, but resort to HTML Help Workshop (HHW) to manage assigning icons when you are able to easily to it from inside RoboHelp. Sure, HHW is free, but we are still assuming folks are using RoboHelp as we are in the RoboHelp forums, no? Why would I elect to use a separate tool when the tool I have does exactly what I need? So that bit is a real puzzler to me.
I noticed you also wanted to point out that the help for HHW states you may use your own icons. And to that I would caution that while it certainly is possible and I've done it, actual implementation is far more painful than many care to use. As a result, the whole notion of using your own icons is most likely abandoned after seeing how difficult it can be to get implemented.

Creating TOC: order of anchored objects

Hey scripting experts,
i have a question creating an automated table of contents.
The problem is, that I am using anchored objects (text) in a text frame/story. Let's assume there is a text frame, starting with the anchor of an anchored object that contains the "headline # 1" and is placed e.g. on the top of the page. The anchor is followed by "headline #2" and "headline #3" (both simple text, no anchored object).
When generating toc, the order of the headlines will not be read as desired. The anchored object unfortunately is not added at first, but at the end. So the generated order is: #2, #3, #1. I would prefer #1, #2, #3.
Do you think, there might be a suitable (and scriptable) way to teach InDesign, to count an anchored object according to the position of the corresponding anchor in the text? Yes? I would be glad for any advice!
Thank you!
Jan

Hi Peter,
thank you very much for your quick and technically versatile reply! Unfortunately my answer reaches you slightly late – due to Easter/holidays (hopefully you spend them relaxed ...).
Nevertheless i am really glad having received your hint. At the moment i am still a bloody beginner in scripting/xml-rules, but trying hard to forge ahead. Maybe aming for a specific target causes progress ... You signalized me there probably is a solution, so with your hint at the back of my mind, i will start practicing now.
Many thanks and best regards

Header & TOC style in Pdf

Hi everyone,
I have two questions regarding pdf generated document.
1. When I generate a pdf file a Header with the document name is automatically generated, how can I remove this Header ?
2. Can I change the style of the TOC generated ? I would like to add blank spaces before my titles defined as Heading 1 ?
Thank you for your help !

You need to create a Word document instead, edit that as required and then produce the PDF.
