RH creates a frame around tables when generating printed documentation

Hi,
We import FrameMaker documents into RoboHelp 9 and then we generate printed documentation (Word documents).
In the generated Word documents, all tables appear in a frame or an additional table cell.
This did not happen in RH7.
In RH itself it seems OK.
Is there a hidden setting somewhere that controls this behavior?
Thanks,
Rakefet

I found out that when we import the FM document into RH, RH adds the following lines in the html file:
before the table:
<?rh-align_start align="left" ?>
after the table:
<?rh-align_end ?>
When I manually delete these lines, the tables in the generated Word files are OK.
Is there something I can do in FM or in RH so that these lines are not added?
Thanks,
Rakefet

  • Visual C++ runtime library error when generating printed documentation from RH9

    I just upgraded a project from RH 7 to RH 9. I tried generating printed documentation in Word from it, but as soon as the Printed Documentation dialog opened, a Visual C++ Runtime Library error displayed. RoboHelp stopped working and I had to restart.
    I tried using one of the sample projects -- same thing happened.
    I then created a brand-new project. This time, opening the Printed Documentation dialog worked. I selected "Generate Word Doc" and the .docx extension, since I have Word 2010,  and tried to generate printed documentation. However, the following message then displayed: Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system.
    So I have two questions:
    - How can I avoid crashing RoboHelp when generating printed documentation?
    - How can I ensure that RoboHelp finds the Word 2010 installation on my system?
    Thanks for any help!
    OK, just played around a bit more and I was able to help myself on the first question:
    - I created a new Printed Documentation Layout in the Single Source Layouts pane, and from there I was able to generate .pdf files, without encountering the Visual C++ runtime error.
    - But the "Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system." msg still pops up when I try to generate .docx files. (When I generate .doc files, they have no content.)
    Message was edited by: mizotto

    First the fact that the problem is with old layouts suggest they were using an old template.
    The PDF creation relies on a Word document being created in the background. The fact that you cannot generate a good doc or docx makes it odd that you get a PDF. The PDF is OK I take it?
    I'm wondering if you have not applied the 901 patch and are running Word 2010 64 bit?

  • Physical location of hyperlinked files when generating printed documentation from webhelp project

    Hi,
    I produce webhelp and the customers have requested that printed documentation is also generated from my help project so that they can have an electronic/paper version.
    I have several hyperlinks in the help project, to PDF/Word files, and have found that in the printed documentation, when you click on the hyperlink, it is trying to find the document in the physical location from which the help project was created. This means that the hyperlinked documents only open on my PC because I own the physical location. Other users, particuarly our customers, end up with an error message because it is trying to find a location they do not have access to.
    Does anybody know a solution to this please?

    The problem with links inside PDF / Word files is that you have no control over where the files reside. Therefore you can't specify a path that will work as it depends on the physical file's location. What you could do is publish the PDFs / Word files to an online location that are accessible by a URL.

  • How can I create a frame around a text?

    I think everything is in the title. I want to create a frame around a text.
    Thanks

    If what you want is a solid line around the text, set the text in a text box. In the Graphic Inspector click on Stroke and choose Line. In the little menu below that click the arrows and choose the type of line (or dots/dashes) you want. Choose the color (if other than black) and then the weight of the line— from the pt menu. Instead of line you can choose frame, but these don’t always look good with text. To allow some space around the text, go to the Text Inspector and adjust the Inset Margin to your liking.
    You can also set text in a shape by inserting a shape from the menu, double clicking in the shape and typing.

  • Unable to Generate Printed Documentation in PDF Format

    This past week I started having a consistent error when attempting to generate a Printed Documentation layout. This error reads "Internal error encountered,  Failed to generate Printed Documentation."  Prior Printed Documentation builds on this same project completed fine. Nothing was done to the Help project between the times when this worked and when it no longer was able to create Printed Documentation.
    I receive this error even if I generate an entirely new "blank project" build, and then attempt to create a Printed Documentation build from this new blank project.  Researching this error, I see this has been a reoccuring problem with this product for some time. The few threads that list the problem as having been "fixed" provide resolution steps that have not worked in my case. Right now I am waiting for our IT Helpdesk people to re-install the Suite. Hopefully this will resolve this problem.
    Additional information on this problem - PDF Printed Documentation is failing - the HTML build works fine. If I select just a .DOC Printed Documentation output, this also works correctly. The resulting Word document looks good, although hyperlinks do not work within this Word document. I have reloaded Office 2003 as a troubleshooting effort, but this has nbot resulted in any change in symptoms.
    The entire error text is enclosed below, although several other people have also done this in past entries. The few lines that read "Warning, and then report a style issue is NOT the problem here. As stated earlier, when I do this same Printed Documentation build on an entirely new "blank project" it does not work, and the Output text in that case does not contain any such "Warnings" about Styles.

    If I select ONLY the Word DOC Output format in the Printed Documentation
    setup, the output is created without an error (output text below).  Links do work within
    this Word document (a symptom change since installing patch 8.0.2).
    When I use this Word document to create a PDF (using the Adobe PDF
    printer driver) a PDF is successfully created, however no bookmarks are
    created in the bookmarks panel and none of the links in this PDF work
    (although they are created looking like they will work, i.e., blue
    underlined text).

    Tim

  • RoboHelp 10: Problems generating Printed Documentation

    Environment
    Windows 7 Enterprise, Service Pack 1, 64-bit operating system
    Office Professional Plus 2010 Versions 14.0.7106.5001 (64-bit)
    RoboHelp 10: 10.0.0.287
    Visual Studio 2010 Professional. I open RoboHelp from within Source Control (have been doing it for two years).
    Problem
    Sometime after moving to RoboHelp 10, and even after successfully generating Printed Documentation output, I encountered a major problem generating Printed Documentation from RoboHelp: “Internal error encountered. Failed to generated Printed Documentation”. The error occurred when I tried to generate Printed Doc using my default TOC, which looks something like this:
    Topic A
    Topic B
    Book 1
    Book 2
    Book 3
    Topic C
    Topic D
    Based on an old Peter Grainge reply to someone about a similar problem, I removed all but the first topic from the Chapter Layout pane and generated the Help. Everything was fine until I got to the topics after Book 3. At that point everything started to fail again. When I removed Topics C, D, etc. from the Chapter Layout pane, the output was built successfully.
    I tried moving Topics C, D, etc. to the top of the Chapter Layout pane, and got the same error. I tried creating a new folder and put Topics C, D, etc. into that folder. Failure after failure.
    As an experiment, I removed all the Topics C, D, etc from the Chapter Layout pane, but then added them to the Print Document Section Layout pane (not where I want them). The Printed Documentation built successfully.
    During attempts to build with Topics C, D, etc. in the Chapter Layout pane, I kept getting a Word error: Word is trying to recover your information. After that there was always a failure.
    Selecting PDF as the output did not work when the Topic C, D, etc. files were at the bottom of the Chapter Layout pane.
    I create a new TOC and a new Printed Documentation SSL. Failed to generate.
    As a matter of reference, I've been generating Printed Documentation from the same TOC for more than a year and so cannot figure out what has changed in RoboHelp or Word to cause this grief .
    Has anyone experienced anything like this?
    Carol

    Dear Peter,
    Thanks for following up. Last Friday I finished extensive testing on my own and working with RoboHelp Support. Here's what I sent to Support this morning.
    If after reading this screed, you think it worthwhile for me to get a copy from Source Control for you to look at, I will do so. Thanks for offering to look at it.
    Environment
    Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1, 8.00 GB RAM, 64-bit OS
    Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Version 14.0.7106.5003 64-bit--Note: We repaired my current version of Word, in case that was the problem, but did not reinstall Office--we do not think that the Word version is the problem because we generated successfully with other TOCs and when generating individual documents.
    RoboHelp 10.0.1.292. Upgraded from RoboHelp 9 in May 2013. Replaced hard drive in September 2013 and reinstalled RoboHelp.
    Visual Studio 2010 Professional 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel (I open the project from Source Control and check files out to a folder on my desktop.)
    Issue
    Printed Documentation failed multiple times with the default Table of Contents, which contains all the topics in the project. TOC specs are as follows:
    Properties: .docx, desktop location, no conditions, embedded images, “Generate a single document”, “Retain hyperlinks”.
    330 files, 12 top-level books, 15 second-level books, 7 third-level books, 6 fourth-level books, and 8 fifth-level books
    Results
    Generation to Printed Documentation does NOT fail for other, module-specific TOCs, nor to WebHelp Pro SSLs for the same sets of topics. In addition, and perhaps more important, generation to Printed Documentation does NOT fail with “Generate Individual Documents” selected, or when there are approximately fewer than 259 files in the TOC.
    Did not fail consistently based on any particular topic.
    Did not fail consistently based on location of any particular topic in the TOC.
    Failed when I created new TOCs based on ‘working’ TOCs. For example, copied a module-specific TOC and then added topics to it from the default (superset) TOC. I did this in case the original default TOC was corrupted.
    Failed when I create a new TOC with the same folder/file structure from scratch.
    Failed when I created a new TOC with a flat file structure from scratch.
    Failed when I retrieved an older TOC from the last release of the product.
    Failed when I created new SSLs each time. I did this in case the SSLs had got corrupted.
    Failed when I did not open the project from Source Control (removed project from Source Control and worked locally).
    Began to see failure when there were more than about 258-263 files in the TOC. For example, successfully generated Printed Documentation with 262 files in the TOC. Added one topic and the generation failed. Removed that topic and added several others, one at a time. Consistently failed. To test this, I created a TOC with all the files in a flat structure, generated a report for the TOC, printed it, and counted the number of files. I then began deleting files and regenerating the Printed Document to try to identify the number of files in the TOC when the generation failed. Successfully generated up to about 258 files and then it began failing. (Occasional successes at 260 and 261, but that may be because I didn’t always consistently remove the Glossary and Index from the Chapter Layout pane.)
    Other Comments
    (I know that we should generally post non-RH issues to other forums, but in this case I wanted to include all potentially related issues in this posting.)
    The first time you generate any type of output, the “Critical error of Source Control Provider. Please restart IDE.” Message appears. This message appears behind RoboHelp. As a result, if the RoboHelp window is maximized, you think that RoboHelp is hung. Forcing a close of RoboHelp leaves the partially generated Word document in an unstable state. When you re-open RoboHelp and try to generate the output again, RoboHelp says that the output is in use. Unfortunately, there is no way to ‘free’ the Word document and you have to restart the computer. In addition, when the dialog box is hidden, even using Alt+Tab to find the dialog box is complicated because you can’t grab it and click OK until RoboHelp completes its processing. The workaround is to reduce the size of the application window so that you can see the dialog box and try to quickly grab it and click OK. That said, as soon as processing is complete you can grab the dialog box and click OK; at that point RoboHelp displays its own error message about the success or failure of the output generation. It is not clear whether the RoboHelp API or Source Control puts up this error message, but it’s definitely a problem until you happen upon the workaround.
    RoboHelp does not check SSLs even when I right-click the SSL in the Single Source Layouts pane, click Check In, select the XML and SSL files, and leave “Keep checked out” deselected. The red check mark remains next to the SSL name. In addition, even when I Check In All files before closing the project, the next time I open the project RoboHelp displays a series of Check In dialog boxes requiring me to check them in again.
    When RoboHelp hangs during a Printed Documentation failure and the Version Control setting is to check in all files when closing a project (which I’ve now deselected to avoid this problem), Ctrl+Alt+Del indicates that you cannot shut down the program because RoboHelp is waiting for a response. Yes, RoboHelp was waiting for me to check in some files (because of the Version Control setting), but hid the Check In Source Files dialog box behind the application. This usually left a Word document in limbo, forcing me to restart the computer.
    At one point RoboHelp stopped saving changes to an SSL after I made changes and clicked Save and Generate. Each time I reopened the SSL, I had to select .docx, etc. all over again.

  • Unable to generate printed documentation

    I am running RoboHelp 9 HTML using Microsoft Word 2010 on a Windows 7 machine.
    Whenever I try to generate printed documentation using a single source layout that is set up for generating either a .docx file or a .doc file the program hangs up after printing the output message "Processing Topics". This occurs with the simple "Test" sample provided by Adobe that contains only one topic as well as with a more complicated project.
    I read some posts that said things about anti-virus software that may affect RoboHelp. On my system the security department at my company has control of that, so I am not really sure what anti-virus software I have. When I look in my "All Programs" list under the "Start" menu, I do not see any anti-virus software programs except something called "System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection". I believe this is the anti-virus software that the security department uses, and there is an icon for it in my System Tray. Has anyone ever heard of issues involving that software and RoboHelp?
    Meanwhile any other insights any of you may have into this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Are you generating to a local drive or a network drive? If the latter, try the former.

  • Bullet problem when creating text frames and tables in InDesign CS5

    Every time I create a new text frame or table in InDesign CS5 and paste information there, the first row in the table or several lines of text come out with bullet points. I'm sure this is a setting or style at some point I created and now am unsure of how to delete. I would like the new text frames and tables to not include bullet points as a default when imported or pasted. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Defaults for text in the current document are made with no text selected. Turn off bullets and they should stay off (but check the styles, too, you might have accidentally set a bulleted style as the defualt and you should change the default style instead). If this is happening in all files, you need to do it with nothing open to reset the default for all new documents (existing files, unfortunately, need to be fixed one at a time).

  • Creating a frame around a text box?

    I'm new to Illustrator (I'm running CS4 on a Mac) and I'm creating what is essentially an organization chart. (It's actually something more of a decision tree, but that's not important.)
    I've searched some other forums and I discovered the Area Type Options. I'm using that to create 6 pixels of inset spacing between my text and the outside of the text box. Now, I'd like to have a 1 or 2 point frame drawn automatically around the text box. One place told me to go to Object > Text Frame. However, when I highlight the text box and go to Object there is not Text Frame option (either available or grayed out).
    It doesn't seem that I should have to manually go through the work of drawing a rectangle around every text frame.
    Can someone point me in the right direction to have Illustrator make the blue (electronic) frame into a real visible one?
    Thank you in advance,
    Bflat Blues

    Thank you so much. That did the trick.
    However, I'm surprised how arcane this simple technique seems to be. I wanted to draw a straightforward org chart and Illustrator didn't appear to make it straightforward at all.
    It's probably me. From what I can see, a new Illustrator user trying to use it for something this simple is like using dynamite to kill a fly.
    I just need to play with it more as I'm working through exercises.
    Once again, thank you.

  • Black Frame Around Slides when Playing

    Hi!
    I recently became a Mac user (ok, in the last year) and love it. I use keypoint a lot because I'm a teacher, however I've been a little disappointed that I always have to export my presentations and use a PC when I want to project/play my slides for my classes because whenever I start to play my slides there is a thick, black frame around each slide (only when it's playing, when I'm creating my slides, there's no "frame" of any sort). If I try playing a ppt show, the same black frame pops up. It's really frustrating because I want to be able to use my Macbook when presenting.
    How can I make this stop? When I play my slides I want them to take up the whole screen, not be surrounded by black!

    If you're using 1024x768 or 800x600, you're going to get bars on the left an right because those are "normal" resolutions and your monitor is "widescreen". You'd have to use one of the "widescreen" resolution presentation sizes to get rid of those.

  • Best way to create a frame around an image

    I'm not sure what to use to create a frame of different shapes (I can do it with tubes in Paint Shop Pro but want to figure it out in Adobe) around an image and then give the image in that frame a fuzzy or old-fashioned look. I have the CS4 Master Collection so if anyone can point me to a tutorial for a product in the suite to do that I would greatkly appreciate it.
    Thanks very much!

    I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mean a soft vignette, something like this:
    If so, then here's what I did.
    I started with a screen capture of your post, so I'd have something to use for an image.
    From the vector shapes tool, I selected the star shape. It's usually a rectangle, but you might prefer an ellipse.
    In the Properties panel at the bottom, I set the Edge to Feather and set the value to 25 pixels.
    I set the color of the star shape to white.
    I selected the shape and the image then went to menu Modify > Mask > Group as Mask. The vector shape acts like a fancy stencil. Where it's white, the masked image shows through. Where the mask is transparent (or black) the underlying image will be transparent. Intermediate values of transparency (or grey) in the mask will produce intermediate values of transparency in the masked image.
    I set the canvas color to dark blue, so you can see how the image is now faded with the mask. You might prefer a white canvas.
    The image is a Fireworks .png, so if you copy it to your computer, you can open it and see how it works. I have an extra copy of the image and star (non-visible), so you can see the two individual parts.
    If that isn't what you want, can you link to or post an example? Use the Insert Image control to add an image to your post. It's the camera icon to the left of the smilie.

  • How do I create a "frame" around a picture?

    I use iphoto for stills then send to Garage Band to add the music track for podcast. I want to add an area on the bottom and on right side of the photo for text or graphics. I want this to be static even though the photo will change. Any suggestions on how this can be done?

    In this case I think your only option is to create the frame as part of the picture for each image. Working with GB, or any other program which produces embedded images in podcasts, there is no way to do it in that program as there are in web pages.
    I don't know what facilities of this sort iPhoto offers. Your best bet would probably be GraphicConverter, though there are other image editors which will give you the ability to manipulate the image, in particular Photoshop Elements 6 has various enhancement options for picture, probably including frames.

  • Why is my text frame edge showing when I print?

    My text frame edge shows up sometimes when it overlaps another frame.    It doesn't show up in the document when I am creating it, but it shows up when I print.  It is not a solid line all around the frame, instead, it just shows up in small lines once in awhile.  I have attached a picture showing the black dashed lines through the words "pow" and "baby.  Please let me know what I should be doing differently!

    Could be the printer (do the lines stay in the same place on every print? How about if you rotate the page 180?) or they could be transparency flattening artifacts, in which case exporting to PDF with live transparency and printing that might work better than printing direct from ID.
