Robohelp hangs when converting an FM Inset

Hi,
I'm using TCS4. I linked an FM book in Robohelp. Everytime Robohelp converts an FM Inset, it hangs. For some reason, the Adobe Distiller decodes the Inset as an image (divided in pages, sized according to the anchored frame in the Inset.) The Inset has conditional text as well.
Can you help?
Thanks!
Kai

Good to know that the patch did something for your situation.
Regarding your graphics - I can't offer too much guidance since I don't really work with them much in my FM to RH project, but I seem to recall some early TCS webinar where RJ Jacquez talked about sticking a graphic and a bunch of captions and callouts all inside a single anchored frame to get them to come over. It wouldn't work if they were all separate - they had to be grouped together and captured inside a single anchored frame.
Again, if you can whip up a simple example that illustrates the failure, report it to Adobe and send it to them - they like to work on examples that are broken to analyze them.

Robohelp hangs when I try to add baggage files to projects

I have two RoboHelp projects using source control (Visual Studio/Team Foundation Server) in Robohelp HTML version 8. Both service packs are installed.
When I right click the Baggage Files folder and select 'Add to baggage files' the program hangs, and I have to crash out of it. This started happening in both projects at the same time, possibly as a result of me adding image files to the baggage files folder. I've reverted to the project as it was before I made these changes, but the problem persists.
I've started a new test project, not connected to version control, and Robohelp hangs in exactly the same way when I try to
Is there anything you could recommend? I'd be extremely grateful for any ideas. I searched the forum and couldn't find any references to anything like this issue.
Would you recommend resintalling Robohelp, for instance?
Many thanks.

Hi Rick,
Thanks for yor speedy reply.
It's a good thought, but I've verified that the rhbag.apj file isn't set to read only. In fact, I tried editing it after the problem started in an attempt to add baggae files manually. That didn't work (I was able to trick Robohelp but not the server...).
Do you have any other suggestions?
Cheers,
Chris

Acrobat Professional hangs when converting word to PDF

I am using Acrobat Professional version 7 and when i use the Convert to PDF option for a large word document it goes through the motions of converting the document but then seems to hang and i get no PDF document created. Also the Word document then says read only in the title as well.
It works fine for small word documents just not large files with pictures.
I have tried uninstalling Acrobat Prof and Office 2003 and re-installing both and it makes no difference.
Can anyone provide any information on what i can try to fix this issue as
i am out of ideas.
Thanks
Lawrence

Empty the TEMP folder or print to the Adobe PDF printer. The latter might be worth trying to be sure things are working.
You may have to uncheck a lot of the options in the PDF Maker preferences, particularly tags. Keep in mind that large graphics require a lot of disk space in the translation as the PS format is not very memory efficient for graphics (at least from what I have seen). You might also make a copy of the DOC file and then select a graphic and choose format. In the lower left corner of the general tab is a compress button. Try that to reduce the graphics resolution and see if that solves the problem.

HDRPro hangs when converting to 16 bit

Hi all,
I'm having an issue here with HDRPro. When I first open CS5 and merge to HDRPro (generally three .NEF raw files) everything is fine. I hit "OK", the file is converted in the HDR dialog, and then after the various operations in the main Photoshop window, I get my 16 bit image file. BUT, if after creating one HDR image in this way I then try to do another, CS5 hangs in the main PS window at "32-Bit Preview Options". Normally, at this point there is a conversion progress bar, but it never appears. The image window turns black and a "forbidden" (circle with diagonal slash) icon appears. I am able to switch to previous history states, but I never get to "16 Bits/Channel" and the processed image. If I exit and restart PS, I am again able to process a single HDR image before this happens again. An important clue might be that this happens only if the deghosting feature is used...
Here are some particulars. I am running XP Pro SP3 32 bit (4GB RAM, though obviously not all addressable due to 32 bit limitations) on a Dell Precision M4400 workstation. QuadroFX 770m GA, which works fine will all the open GL stuff. I tried keeping an eye on Task Manager when it hangs and there doesn't seem to be any issue with available memory, Windows reports between 1.5-2 GB available, same as when I do the conversion successfully (when PS is first opened).
In terms of performance I have 20 history states enabled, 4 levels of cache. Photoshop has presently got 1.2 GB of memory (72%) to play with, but making this larger doesn't seem to make any difference.
I will mention a related issue (related anyway to HDR). I notice that if I try to combine more than three exposures, HDRPro simply refuses to align the images. Less images and I get the various transforms, crops and marquees necessary to align the features, but more than this and the automatic align simply doesn't "kick in". I end up with an image in which elements do not line up (when using shots with small positional variations). I stress that when only three images are merged, everything works fine.
In CS4, with large multiple merges to HDR, I sometimes got an out of memory error. Nothing like that in CS5 in either of the two above cases.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Garageband hangs when converting podcast

I'v tried searching the discussions to find anything on this but this has not yeilded any results. Whats happening is when I export my podcast to iTunes or the desktop it gets stuck on the step "converting". The bar goes across but then turnes into a pinstripe progress bar that just keeps spinning. I'v tried leaving it for as much as an hour for a simple 1 min podcast with 2 chapters and a couple pictures. With experimentation I have found that it only hangs on this step when chapters are added to the podcast. If I remove all chapters then it exports correctly. Chapters without pictures still cause it to hang. Basically the only thing I can do when turning the podcast track on and still have it be able to export is give the whole podcast a picture. Please help, I need to start podcasting my classes for reference on upcoming tests.

FlashPaper hangs when converting PowerPoint t to Flash swf

I tried a very simple one page powerpoint with the word test.
I hit FlashPaper-convert to Flash SWF; the dialog box appears and
indicates it is converting but it never finished. Is this also a
bug and is there a fix?
Thx,
Dave

No you can't from a book - there might be a script for it?
I've had alook around and I can't find one.
You could place all the indesign files into a new indesign file and then export to SWF that way.
There's a script called multipage importer that would be able to automate the inesertion of all the pages.

A better way to deal with lost hyperlinks when converting Robohelp to Printed doc?

I have inherited a 750-page manual that is
"single-sourced" in RoboHelp X5. When I generate printed
documentation, all of my hyperlinks and converted to plain text.
Everytime we release a new version of the manual with any changes,
we have to re-generate, and then manually go into the MS-Word
converted document and re-create some 350 hyperlinks and page
number references. Somebody please tell me that there is a better
way to do this, or a better tool to manage single-source
documentation.

Another post has been raised relating to this problem. See
http://tinyurl.com/yvpaut
I am replying here is this is where most of the relevant
information is.
You found that using the Style Mapping template solved the
images problem but the document stopped generating at 450 pages.
That was sort of what I hoped for. Rather than go to the step I
will suggest in a moment, I suggested you try something else but
you never came back to the forum to indicate you had tried it, so
the assumption is you did and it worked. Patently it did not so
let's try what I would have suggested next.
On my website there is a topic on Print Issues and one of the
them covers Malformed Topics. Try looking for <p
style="mso-bookmark: as suggested in my earlier reply in this
thread. You can try RH's Multi file find and replace but FAR from
http://www.helpware.net/FAR
may get better results. I think with this error you usually get a
message. Do you have the Output pane opened and have you read right
through it for clues? View | Output on the menu. Whether or not the
Output pane mentions this error, I would search for it anyway.
Other Points:
A] It could still be a resource problem. The document is very
large so, as Harvey mentioned, resources come into it. I know the
PCs that won't play nicely have good resources but whilst I am no
expert in this area, don't foget XP is using more of them leaving
less available to you. It could be an issue but I am inclined
towards it being something else.
B] I also suggested a hunt for a rogue topic.
"What I would try is copying your layout so that you have
three versions of it. Then delete two thirds from each one. If all
three work fine, it sort of confirms that size is a problem. If one
fails, your on the track of the rogue topic."
Did you try that? Like I said, if all three work fine, then
we are back with the resource problem but we will have ruled out
other issues. It should take less than fifteen minutes to set that
up. Longer to run it but you can be doing something else at that
point.
C] On FrameMaker, no real answer but you will soon see
evidence that Adobe are continuing to better integrate all the
products we are using. I don't think you will see what you want in
the upcoming version though.
NEXT:
1] Please search for <p style="mso-bookmark:
2] If that fails, try creating the three layouts.
3] Then post back how it went. If unsuccessful, tell us if
the Output pane gave any information about things the process did
not like.
Let us know either way as if one succeeds and you post that,
it helps the next person with the same problem.

ISR Form is hanging after converting to ZCI

Hi experts,
We are on EP7 ECC 6.0 SP9. We have recently converted few ISR forms (SAP delivered forms for PCR) to ZCI. The form is hanging when clicked on 'Review Form' . Earlier before changing the forms to ZCI at least we used to go to the next screen when clicked on 'Review Form' but now the form is just hanging.
Did anyone come across this issue?
Can you please let me know what needs to be done?
Thanks
Phani

Hi Anto,
I have already installed ACF on my pc but still the Adobe form is hanging. I even changed installed new version of Adobe reader 8.0 (earlier it was 7.0.9) but same result.
We are currently on EP7 ECC 6.0 SP9. I have adobe reader 7.0.9 version.
When I revert back the SAP Standard SAP form to 'unknown layout' I could at least go to the next step but when I covert to ZCI, I am facing this problem. Right now I really don't understand the reason .. I am stuck with this.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks

Process chain hangs when reaching AND process before Attribute Change Run

Hi Experts,
I have the following problem. For some reason my master data attribute process chain hangs when it reaches the AND process variant right before the Attribute Change Run. It does not go anywhere from that point.
Thank you

hi AG,
if this is hanging daily at the same place without proceeding further, and with out giving the instance for the same. then the better way is to replace that AND process in the chain with the new AND process. and then check and activate ur chain. this wil solve ur problem.
if this is the first time that happend to u, then check the previous load status, if any of the load has failed and u didnt turned the status of the process then also this can happen. So please do check it and act accordingly. If u cannt find the resolution then please run ur changerun manually.
u can use RSPC_PRCESS_FINISH FM to convert the status of any process. for this u need to give instance and variant details. and then if u execute, then chain will continue further.
Hope this will help you.
thanks

Why does captivate hang when it is closed in window 8.1 professional ? How is it solved?

Hi,
Do you see the issue every time you close captivate or is it only in some scenarios? Does it show any error messages? What captivate version are you using (64 bit or 32 bit)? Can you provide some more information or screenshots which can help us reproduce the issue.

Project Professional 2010 and pwa hangs when opening a linked project from PWA on Project Server 2010

When I open a linked project in Project Professional 2010 from PWA, Project Professional 2010 hangs with the "Links Between Projects ..." dialog box open. Unable to move or close the dialog box. Unable to move or close Project Professional
2010. The PWA tab on internet explorere is frozen and unable to access although other tabs in IE are accessible. End up having to reboot to close down project or force the process to end. I suspect a hidden dialog box is the culprit maybe
the scheduling conflict dialog box but am unable to access or switch and cannot confirm that there is another dialog box.
Has anybody else experienced this problem?
Thanks,
Julie

I have seen it hang when trying to open a project schedule even with no external links.
Project 2013 Pro, Link to schedule is on a PWA on a Project 2007 server.
If Project 2013 is open before clicking on the link, there is a long delay and the project schedule opens up in the web tab where the link was selected. If Project 2013 is not open, it just hangs and has to be shut down via the task manager.
No idea why. I can create a link to the shared volume and that works OK. But if I actually try to open MS Project by clicking on the link to a .mpp file it never opens in MS Project.
