Robohelp 9 and FM 10 linking

Am I right in understanding that if I have Robohelp 9 and FM 10 i cannot link the fm file to Robohelp? Why to I specifically need the TCS? What is the difference?

Yes. It's called Technical Communication Suite upgrade
Sorry to be flippant. The whole point of TCS is that it adds the level of integration that you require but which is not available in the individual products.

RoboHelp 10 Skin Navigation Button - Link Open in New Window

I'm using RoboHelp 10 and am trying to get the button in my navigation skin to open a link in a new window. I researched this extensively and have not been able to get it to work. Can you please assist?

Is that link for some external website or some pdf file etc?
When you create a button on a skin and ask it open a file it should do that in the web browser.
If the link is for a website etc then it might give you the following link but you can still open the url in a new window by clicking on 'Open this content in a new window".

RoboHelp 10 and Visual Studio 2010

The company I work for is thinking about buying RoboHelp 10 to create an offline user help system for a WPF Ribbon Application being developed in Visual Studio 2010. I have been tasked with finding the recommended output format from RoboHelp 10 AND the best viewer for Visual Studio 2010. CHM output format is not an option. I have searched the web and found nothing that addresses both products. Does anyone know the best output format to use AND/OR what is the best viewer? Any / all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Visual Studio does have its own ability to create a help file. Here's the home page of Paul O'Rear's blog. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/thehelpguy/ You will also find information at http://www.helpware.net. You need to research that to find out if that would suit. This is not the forum for that topic.
Aside from that, the first issue is where is the help going to reside? If it is on a web server, then WebHelp would be an option. That can also be run locally but you may encounter some issues if you need links to PDF files. If the help is going to be installed locally, what's the objection to CHMs? In RoboHelp 10 they can be skinned to look like WebHelp.

RoboHelp 10 can't update linked FrameMaker book

TCS 4
Linked FrameMaker book
HTML Help output
When I open a previously working project and go to update the FrameMaker files, the Update and Update All options are greyed out.
A possible culprit is that Windows Update ran automatically while the project was open, and then restarted the machine.
If I Force Update All, RH launches an instance of FM, which doesn't open anything and remains on its startup screen. If FM is already running with the book + .fm files open, another instance of FM starts w/o loading any files. RH then hangs, going into a "Not responding" state in Task Manager.
If I start a new blank project and attempt to link to the FM book, RH launches another blank instance of FM and hangs.
I tried opening the project and exporting the project settings in an .isf file, but RH hangs trying to scan.
i tried relinking the FM book, but RH launches another blank instance of FM and hangs.
i tried deleting the book, but RH hung partially through the deletion.
i tried reinstalling RH. Same behavior.
Is there some file I can delete and/or restore to reacquiant FM and RH?
Note that when Windows Update ran the FM book was open too, and when I subsequently generated/updated the book, some files were listed as missing and some cross-refs were broken. This was fixed by replacing the broken cross-refs. The FM book generated/updated with no errors before the first attempt to update in RH.
Thanks.

Summary
This issue was resolved.
It seems to have been a registry corruption on my machine due to a Windows Update restart that occurred when the Help project and FrameMaker project were open.
The main symptom was that RoboHelp could no longer update the project from the FrameMaker files and was spawning a new instance of FM with each retry, even if FM was already open.
I tried lots of things: opened a new project, restored a backup copy of project, attempted an export of project etc., etc. (see above).
The solution was to:
- revert to a "known good" restore point in Windows (before the auto-update)
- deactivate and uninstall TCS 4
- run Windows Update
- re-install TCS 4
- turn automatic Windows Updates OFF
Everything in FrameMaker and RoboHelp generates properly now.

RoboHelp 10 and .CHM File Functionality Issue

I have RoboHelp 10 running on Microsoft Wincdows 7 operating sytem. I have completed my help topics in RoboHelp 10 and was using the Microsoft HTML Help layout/format to create my final .CHM help file. When I compile the help I don't get any error messages and all seems to be good. The .CHM file does get generated but when I open/run it, there are problems. It "freezes" on the first Help topic and none of the buttons or links work. I also can't close it down; I have to force it closed using the Task Manger. As a test, I also tried generating other help file formats using the same help topics/project I used to create the .CHM file. For example, I used the Multiscreen HTML5, WebHelp, and WebHelp Pro source layouts to generate a Help file and all of them function properly to produce a working Help file. It's just the .CHM file that is not working correctly. Is this a problem with Windows 7, RoboHelp 10 on Windows 7, or some other key process/step I forgot to do or include before generating the .CHM file? Thanks, Thom

It may be something related to the default topic. I'd suggest temporarily configuring a different default topic, recompile and see if the problem clears. If so, you know you need to pick apart the code of the default topic. If the problem is there with a different default, try creating a simple new topic with nothing really in it and set THAT topic as default. If it STILL happens after that, look at the Window settings. Perhaps something is lurking in there.

Adobe RoboHelp 7 and the Adobe Technical Communication Suite have just been posted

Hi, folks.
The long-awaited Adobe RoboHelp 7 and the Adobe Technical
Communications Suite have just been posted on the Adobe website.
There are 30-day Trial versions that can be downloaded here:
http://www.adobe.com/ap/products/robohelp/
Follow the link that says "Download the trial". After you
sign in, you can download either the RoboHelp 7 standalone release,
or the Technical Communications Suite which contains these
integrated products: RoboHelp 7, FrameMaker 8, Adobe Captivate 3
and Acrobat 3D.
If you or members of your team use both RoboHelp and
FrameMaker, I'd strongly advise you take a look at Tech Comm Suite.
It's more than simply a "bundle:" of products. There is real
integration among the apps. Here are details:
http://www.adobe.com/ap/products/technicalcommunicationsuite/
For some screenshots and information, check out Peter
Grainge's website
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh7/rh7.htm
I will also be posting some Adobe Captivate movies of the new
interface on my website in the next day or two.
http://www.hypertexas.com
You can also read more on the Adobe Tech Comm Blog
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/technical_communication/
These are exciting times. Two releases in one year! I don't
think there's any doubt about Adobe's committment to RoboHelp now
Thanx,
John

The first thing I looked at was the upgrade price, which is I
think is pretty reasonable. I may not have made it clear in my
other post that I installed the RH7 trial with RH6 still installed.
I'm pretty sure management will spring for an upgrade, and I don't
intend to use RH6 simultaneously at that point--only while I'm
doing the trial.
The main thing I'm checking out is the double-byte character
support. One complaint I have there is that in HTML view, Japanese
characters are showing as squares. If I open the same topic file in
Notepad, the Japanese characters show up there, so I know RH7 isn't
really messing up the characters, it's just not displaying them in
HTML view. This still makes it difficult to manipulate Japanese
text in HTML view. Does anyone know if there is a way for these
characters to display in HTML view properly? Should I start a
different post? Thanks,
Ben

HELP! FOR LOOP TO SCROLL THROUGH TABLE AND CREATE DATABASE LINK

Hi,
Here's the scenario, not much of a PL programmer, just basic SQL so really need some help people!
I have 2 tables. 1 contains list of DB's and the other contains rules to follow.
I need to create a loop that goes through the table containing the DB's and on each row a DB link is created (Only 1 link allowed!)
Once created, the schema currently logged in with also has an account on the linked DB in order to run scripts- The scripts are stored centrally hence the requirement for the link to the target DB.
There are numerous scripts that need to be executed and can all be called from 1 script, once executed the loop exists and the database link needs to be dropped.
Once dropped, the first loop continues, creating a DB link for the next DB listed in the table (and all the scripts are fired again)
This continues against all the DB's listed in the table.

Hi BlueShadow,
Thanks again for the response, you've hit the nail on the head. SQL scripts on a unix server, a loop goes through a table 1 at a time. Each row gets a link created and then all the scripts stored on the server are executed against the db linked to. So I'm assuming this is a loop within a loop.
1 loop to go through the table to create the link and then another loop within once connected to execute all the scripts against the connected DB. Once the scripts are run, the loop exits and moves onto the next server and so on until all the servers have the scripts are run.
It's PL/SQL scripts we're after and not shell scripts as this would free us from the OS constraints.
We have to drop the links due to security. Any idea on o

Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee

Problem with PremiereProCS5 and AfterEffectsCS5 Dinamic Link!

Problem with PremiereProCS5 and AfterEffectsCS5 Dinamic Link!
I installed PremiereProCS4, and after, "Adobe Master Collection Suite CS5" in Italian Language, with PremiereProCS5 and AfterEffectsCS5 on OS Windows7x64Bit.
I made a first composition with AfterEffects, from PremierePro by choosing "Adobe Dinamic Link">"Replace with AE Composition".
After that, I made another second version of the same project, directly with AfterEffects.
I want replace this AE version with existing version, in PremierePro.
Thus, I selected "Adobe Dinamic Link">"Import AE Composition".
1) But, the problem is that the new, fresh AE composition is not found!
The Dinamic Link, in PremierePro, doesn't refresh the window where it is located the new AE Composition called "n°2" made last with AE, (not with DynamicLink)!
There are available 3 files, that I made, but all the files display only the old composition called "n°1", made with DynamicLink, and with "Replace with AE Composition" command!
The composition made with AE directly, is not displayed!
Why?
In fact, I tried to right click the clip, in PremiereProCS5 timeline, choosed "Replace with Clip">"From Folder" and selected the last imported AE composition: the composition is allways the OLD file made with DynamicLink, not the file made directly with AE!
Why?
Help!

"...or if you must use multiple projects, start each one from scratch instead of duplicating and renaming..."
Yes!
I made from scratch these new projects with AECS5, called:
"Montaggio_02_CS5_04_Franzi_AECS5 - Composizione collegata 02.avi" and
"Montaggio_02_CS5_04_Franzi_AECS5 - Composizione collegata 03.avi",
not renamed, nor duplicated.
-But PremierePro and DynamicLink doesn't display those in the window!

Hi Yram
Great explanation and good posting with lots of useful information.
You need to administer and log in to Apps as an Apps user. You use a database user only for the purposes of creating the EUL. It would take a long time to explain all of the steps here. However, I have an illustrated white paper on my downloads page that explains setting up an EUL in Apps mode.
At first glance though it sounds like you may not have defined a Gateway UserID and Foundation Name inside Discoverer Administrator. You do this using Tools | Options | Connection. The Gateway UserID and Password is usually applsyspub/pub, while the Foundation Name is apps. The entries are usually in lowercase.
My downloads page can be found at: http://learndiscoverer.com/downloads/downloads.htm and the document is called Setting up an Apps mode EUL.
Let me know how you get on.
Best wishes
Michael

HT5616 I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. How do I do this?

I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. Any help on how I can I do this?

You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

I have produced several short iMovie projects and want to link them into a continuous stream on a DVD. Can it be done? All of the projects are in my Moblie Me Gallery

I have produced several short (2 to 3 minute) iMovie projects and want to link them in a continuous stream on a DVD. The clips are in my Mobile Me gallery. How can it be done?

You can do that too, it's all in the iDVD program.
But first you want to assemble the separate clips into one big long clip. For that you would use iMovie. Share to the Media Browser (choose the Large size). Let it export then quit iMovie.
Open iDVD, click on the Media button and then the Movies button. Under the iMovie star icon you will see your final assembled clips movie. In the iDVD project window turn on the map view (it's little boxes that look like a flowchart) then drag the iMovie project into the first box:
You can set the project to startup without a Menu, and then loop continuously as well. Go up to the Advanced Menu then click on the Loop movie option to turn it on.
Once checked the Loop movie status will appear as curved arrow icon in the Project Window:
In the lower right corner is the icon indicating this video clip will loop while being played.

iTunes will need to be set up on your computer however you can set up a new Apple ID to use for your iPhone. Really all you need to do is Assign a new Apple ID to your iCloud account.
Follow the link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
After you do that, on the device you want to assign a new iCloud account go: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign in with the new Apple ID.
NOTE: This does not effect iTunes, all of your devices can continue to use one shared iTunes account under your original Apple ID for downloading apps and backups. This simply gives iCloud a place to sync the individual devices information and will stop iCloud form merging all the information, such as contacts, with all of your devices.

Firefox doesn't store the bookmarks as separate files in a folder, but uses a sqlite database file with the name places.sqlite.
You will have to export those favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.
