TOC Link to Projects not an option?

Hi, in Captivate 3 the TOC items were able to link to separate projects. I gather this isn't possible in Captivate 4?
I thought I'd use the aggregator, but it appears I cannot place the TOC as an overlay in the agreggator project. Therefore, my stage size would need to be contracted by 250px to suit the client brief.
Even if I were to then go ahead and do this, it seems that the published project is only compatible with Flash 10 and up... My client does not have Flash 10, so this isn't an option.
I guess I'll have to use a main menu page to link all lesson modules?
Thanks.

Hi there
If you take a look at the help page linked below, I described a possible workaround for this in a comment made back in February 2009.
Click here to view
Basically my comments were this:
You can probably accomplish the same functionality by linking from different slides to the intended projects. You might accomplish this as follows:
Insert a blank slide somewhere in the project
Edit the properties of the slide
Assign the action of opening the other project from the slide enter event
Configure the slide exit event to display the next logical slide
Link from the menu to the appropriate slide
Cheers... Rick

Save as PDF option in MS Word 2007 does not create TOC links

Hello All,
i am using Microsoft Office Word 2007 to create How to Guides, Installation Manuals, and other technical documents. I send these documents to customer in PDF format.
When i use "Save as PDF" option of MS Word 2007 to generate PDF file, it creates the PDF but without TOC links. TOC entries are there but hyperlinks are missing.
Can anyone please provide me a solution to work around this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
It seems that you are trying to insert a Hyperlink in you document which you want to save as a PDF file from Word 2007,
but when you open the PDF file there is no such a Hyperlink but only the website address.
If there is anything misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
Try this:
When you have inputted the website address, enter an “Space” or “Enter” behind it to make it
turn into a Hyperlink before you save the document into PDF file.
Sincerely,
Fangfang

Toc Links randomly not working

Robohelp HTML 9.0.2.271
Word 2010 - documents hosted on SharePoint 2007
Windows 7 OS
Published in a merged Help project
Each time i generate a project one or more of the toc links do not expand when clicked.
The links which dont work change randomly.
Aboslutely no idea why this happens. Each of them have worked at some time or other but often not all completely.
I have spent the last two days generating and regenrating a project with tow linked word documents and each time the same issue recurs.
Any ideas how to resolve this ?
No errors show in the Errors list

I am wondering if those TOC items are in your main TOC and you have updated the document. That could break them.
Could changes in the document be the answer?
Do you have this problem before you put the output on Sharepoint?
Are you generating locally and then publishing to Sharepoint or generating directly to Sharepoint?

File not found in Link Between Projects Window - test no edit rights to other file

Hi,
I am doing a test to see if i can create a link by typing the link path (f.i. <>\plan2\1) in the predecessor column without having edit rights to the other plan.
I expect this to be possible as the edit in the other plan (creation of link) is only done after the change is accepted through the LBP (link between projects) window. Besides, when i do it to both my own plans, in this LBP window i get 'create external
link' as difference to accept.
When I do it on Project Server 2010 to a plan I do not own or having edit rights on, I got the message 'file not found'.
Is this message related to what I am trying or does it have another cause?
Does someone know if what I want can be done?

Hi Sander,
I confirm that for creating a link between projects, you need to have access in read-write to both files.
Indeed creating such a link will write in both files information about successors (in the source file) and predecessors (in the destination file).
Note that if you only need to update the successor, you don't need anymore to open in read-write mode the source file, since you won't write any more information in it.
Hope this helps.

Can/ how do I link two or more "projects" - not events or clips - "projects" together in final cut pro 10?

Can/ how do I link two or more "projects" - not events or clips - "projects" together in final cut pro 10?

Thanks Tom -
I created two "sequences". They are currently listed individually in the "project library". Now I want to take sequence "B" and attatch it in it's entirety to the end of sequence "A" - forming one long sequence.
I have tried to drag sequence "B" and drop it into "A's" timeline. I have tried to creat a compound clip. I'm either missing something - or - you can create a compound "clip" or a compound "event" - but perhaps you cannot link to "projects" together.
Does this help descibe my problem?
Thanks again.

Can you import one TOC from one project to another? (RH9)

I have been working on a complicated project in RH9. (all work done in RH)
I made all the modifications to the htm files that I needed.
I went to rename the .htt file and upon entry, RH 9 CRASHED!
When I reopened, my TOC was entirely GONE!
Luckily, I made a backup of the entire directory a few hours ago.
Options:
A.) Revert to backup and redo hours of work (not what I want to do).
B.) Somehow import the TOC from the backup to the new project.
I hope this is a dumb question and very easy to do. It is a VERY complex TOC (prints out to 11 pages) so I do not want to redo from scratch.
I await all of your expert advice.
Thank you so much!
DianaJ

Hi,
To import a TOC into existing project you may follow the steps as below:
1. Go to Project Manager POD and expand the TOC folder
2. Click New TOC in the Right Click Menu
3. Give the desired name to the TOC you want
4. Check the checkbox "Copy existing Table of Contents" and browse to the TOC file that you want to import
5. Click OK and all contents of the TOC should be imported.
I hope it works
Thanks

Upgraded to CS5; TOC Links don't work in the created PDF from InDesign

We recently upgraded to CS5. When we convert our InDesign User Guide to PDF, the main TOC links don't work. The TOC does function from each chapter page but not from the main TOC. We have done our normal steps in Acrobat to link them. Same issue with various user guides that we have. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Thanks for your reply. The problem is the whole page is one image and there should be several clickable areas which point to different links.
To solve this we have put a textbox over the clickable area, disabled the background and stroke and then right clicked on the textbox and used the hyperlink option to turn the whole box in to a hyperlink.
We tried several free PDF convertors which couldn’t handle this combination. Then we trailed it with the full desktop version of Adobe Acrobat Pro and it worked a treat. Unfortunately the client didn’t have that software so we signed them up to the online PDF convertor from Adobe and that isn’t handling it.
Here's the sample document: Dropbox - sample-link.docx we have been doing the tests with.

RoboHelp5: Linking between project and subproject

I have a master project and four subprojects They all exist
in a flat directory; that is, the master project folder and all
subproject folders are on the same directory level. I can merge the
projects fine but when I try to add a hyperlink from a topic in the
master project to a topic in one of the subprojects, the link
disappears when I compile the master project.
I searched adobe for the answer and found a page that
describes "Linking Between Merged WebHelp Projects", however the
instructions suggest putting the subproject folders within the
master project directory. I keep a set of test projects available
just to practice things on without breaking my actual work and
tried this out. I couldn't create merged projects using this method
at all. The merged project link would appear in the TOC but when I
complied the master project and viewed the results. the merged
projects didn't appear.
Any ideas on how I can merge projects *and* create hyperlinks
between the master and subprojects? Thanks.

Just to clarify, I've got my test project organized as
follows (as per information from Peter Grainge's site):
Master: This is the top-level master project. The single
folder contains only one topic which is named "null" and I deleted
all text including the title from that topic. The TOC of this
project starts out as containing no information.
Child: This folder is at the same level of the directory as
the Master folder and contains the directories for each of the
subprojects.
Subproject1
Subproject2
Subproject3
All three of these subprojects are located inside the Child
folder so that all of my actual project content exist on the same
directory level.
From here, I go to the master project in the Null topic and
on Null's TOC, I create the Merged Project links to the three
subprojects. So far, everything works swimmingly. Then I try to
create a link between a topic in Subproject1 and Subproject3.
The link seems to be created correctly, but I do get a
warning message stating that it may not endure when the project
files are moved. When I look at the page with the link in preview
mode, the link exists and works.
I compile the three subprojects and recreate the merge links
to the subprojects in the master project, the recompile the master.
I click "view result" and navigate to the page that is supposed to
contain the link and (alas) the link is just plain text.
That's where I am so far. Still going to work through the
material on Peter's site to see if I missed something.
EDIT: I can see the subprojects in the master just fine,
Colum. But when I try to create a hyperlink on one topic in one
subproject to a topic in another subproject, when all the projects
are compiled, the hyperlink itself is broken. Does that
clarify?

Autonumber formats change after topics are linked across projects

We are going from Robohelp HTML x5.0.2 to Robohelp HTML 8.0.2.208, so there is obviously a huge learning curve that we are working through. We generate to WebHelp and merge 15 projects into a published master. Our users view the output on our intranet using Internet Explorer 7.
We loved the autonumber format feature in version 8 (particularly the additional bullet styles available and no longer needing to manually renumber steps when something was inserted or deleted), but have run into a problem.
The autonumber items work fine in the projects and when generated and published into the merged master, but when we need to add a link from a topic in one project to a topic in another project it changes the bullets and numbering.
Example:
We have a topic in Project A that references a topic in Project B (both projects are part of the merged master).
We insert a link in the Project A topic to the topic in Project B (using Insert Hyperlink - Link To - File). Everything in both A and B look fine at this point.
We preview the topic Project A by clicking on "View Selected Item" (eyeglasses) and then click on the link we inserted to validate it works. This causes the topic in project B to now have stutter-text for bullets and numbers (i.e., what used to say "1. Step" now says "1. 1. Step"). As more links are added to that topic, it adds more bullets and numbers to the linked topic:
1. 1. 1. Procedure
● ● ● Bullet
o o o Bullet2
§ § § Bullet3
□ □ □ Bullet4
This does not happen when adding links to topics that are in the same project, only when linking to topics that are in another project.
All of our topics are created directly in RoboHelp; we do not import files from Word, FrameMaker, etc. Each of our projects has the same style sheet (we created 1 CSS file and copied it into each project so that they were all identical).
All of our version 8 projects were created from scratch in version 8, and we have been importing our version 5 topics one by one (and deleting the version 5 styles assigned to them), then applying the applicable version 8 style to each line. We have attempted creating brand new topics in version 8 to make sure no old legacy version 5 code imported from an old project was causing the issue, and it still happens. We have tried manually cleaning up the HTML code for the topic and it happens again once a cross-project link is added back to that topic. We also tried the "Convert RoboHelp edited topics to HTML" to try to get around the XHTML restrictions and it still happened to everything that was an autonumber format, so it appears the issue is something with that one of these. We created styles for each autonumber format we wanted to use (using the options available for Paragraph styles in the Robohelp Style editor), this is a sample of one of them:
p.Bullet {
 list-style: rh-list;
 x-list-class: rl-p-Bullet;
 x-list-level: 1;
rh-list.rl-p-Bullet {
 x-level-count: 1;
 x-lvl-1-format: "<x>";
 x-lvl-1-type: disc;
While it would be really great to have the additional features of the autonumber format, it may not be a viable option for us since it is only available on the paragraph level and Robohelp 8 does not appear to play well with bullets and numbers in anything other than the list level. I'm thinking I may need to abandon our current style sheet that uses autonumbering and start over with a new style sheet using only the limited bullets and numbering available on the list level (or possibly go old-school and just use the bullet and number toolbar buttons to add formatting to normal text). We are about 8,000 topics into our conversion of 40,000. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'd love to send you the test projects I set up, but unfortunately my company has blocked that ability. I created brand new blank projects in Robohelp 8 using the default style sheet with an autonumber bullet and numbered step added and nothing else. I thought this bare-minimum approach would be the best way to make sure it wasn't something we had set up incorrectly that on our end. I used the default First Topics in each project and added numbered and bullet texts using the style sheet to Project 1 and then added a link to that topic in Project 2. I didn't even generate the projects and I still had the issue when I previewed the Project 2 topic and clicked the link.
I've attached a copy of the info on the topic in Project 1 and the code behind the scenes for it below:
First Topic
1. 1. 1. Procedure
o o o Bullet
o o o Bullet
2. 2. 2. Procedure
Code before link in Project 2:
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Procedure" ?>Procedure<?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Bullet" ?>Bullet<?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Bullet" ?>Bullet<?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Procedure" ?>Procedure<?rh-list_end ?>
</body>
</html>
Code after link in Project 2 was added and clicked:
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Procedure" ?>1.     Procedure<?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Bullet" ?>o       Bullet<?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Bullet" ?>o       Bullet<?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Procedure" ?>2.     Procedure
Code after link in Project 2 clicked a second time:
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Procedure" ?>1.     1.     Procedure<?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Bullet" ?>o       o       Bullet<?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Bullet" ?>o       o       Bullet<?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Procedure" ?>2.     2.     Procedure
Logically there is no reason that clicking on a link that is outside of the project should be able to recode the topic being displayed, but it is.

Why don't I see the "Show Merged TOC in Child Project" setting?

I have read about the "Show Merged TOC in Child Project" setting in RoboHelp 8 and have seen a screen shot of the build properties page where that check box is. But, when I go to build WebHelp, I don't see the same window. A number of the settings are different, and there is no "Show Merged TOC in Child Project" setting. I am using RoboHelp 8 (version 8.0.2.208 to be exact). I have pasted in a screen shot of the window that I see.
The first screen I see when I build WebHelp looks the same as the screen shot in Peter Grainge's article on Merged Help. The screen above is the second one I see.
Can anyone help? I'm mystified!

Hi there
Looks like you experimented with enabling Section 508. When you do that and toggle it back off, you are left with the Traditional style - no skin WebHelp. So back up a screen and choose a skin. Then you will see the option.
Cheers... Rick

TOC Links and Bookmarks

Hello InDesign community,
I seek your advice and assistance with resolving an issue related to Table of Contents and Bookmarks created in books in InDesign CS6 for Mac (v8.0.1).
I have created a book in ID which contains a few chapters. There is a TOC at the beginning of the book based on Headings created in Paragraph Styles . In TOC style, I have selected the option to create PDF bookmarks. When I have exported the book, using the book panel, I have used the following settings for interactive and print respectively.
(I have also tried creating interactive without the 'Use Structure for Tab Order' checkbox marked)
My problem is when one clicks on the bookmarks (in Acrobat) the bookmark navigates through the document to the respective page only, rather than to the heading which the bookmark refers. The same occurs if one clicks on the documents TOC links (that appear on page iv).
What is even more interesting is that a colleague sent me a PDF that was created in MS Word and converted to PDF using Acrobat X and the links behave perfectly, that is, they go directly to he heading requested. ID is a a professional page layout software, yet I am unable to get bookmarks and TOC links behave in the same fashion as a PDF created by Word and Acrobat. I must be doing something wrong....
I looked at the bookmarks (in Acrobat) for each document and noticed some differences see pictures below.
Properties of bookmarks created from a Word Document using Acrobat X (Windows)
Properties of bookmarks created from Adobe InDesign
My questions, therefore are:
1. How can one edit the links in the document's own Table of Contents (as generated using TOC funtion of ID) so that the links link directly to the heading they are suppose to.
2. How can one modify automatically the way bookmarks are created by ID so that they behave in the same fashion as ones created by Acrobat during Word Document conversion.
3. What are 'named destinations' and how can one create them and/or link them to the TOC links?
I know this sounds complicated, but I would like to be able to have users of documents click a link and be taken directly to the information they have requested to view rather than just to the page. Is this possible with ID or is it just the domain of PDF created from Word Docs (surely not?) ?
I thank you in advance for your comments and feedback.

What PDF are you making Interactive or Print ?
Bookmarks and hyperlink automatically work in Interactive PDF however while making the Print PDF you have to manually check the option under "General option" in Export PDF screen to include the interactivity.

Is there an issue with Safari in Iphones and Ipads where it does not recognize option disabled="disabled" tag properly?

Greetings everybody,
I have run into a peculiar problem with the Safari browser on mobile platforms (IPad, IPod, IPhone) which I hope I can find a solution for in this community.
I just launched a new website where I sell products with certain variations, for example please view this link: http://www.finerribbon.com/aegean-single-face-satin-ribbon.html
On this particular product, the product variants are supposed to work in such a way where:
If you select the value "1/8" from the "Choose Ribbon Width" field
THEN
The only options active and available to choose from in the "Choose Roll Size" field should be: 500 Yds, 20 Yds & Sample Swatch
Now, if we browse to the above link in Safari using a desktop or a laptop, there are no problems at all, but if we browse to the above link using an IPhone or an Ipad, then we have a problem where all the options are available regardless of the values chosen, basically the above functonality does not work.
I was told that there an issue with Safari in Iphones and Ipads where it does not recognize option disabled="disabled" tag properly, is this true? Can anyone advise me if there is a solution to this problem? I would sincerely apperciate it.
Thank you very much for your time and help!

How can I merge a few projects (not events)and make them 1 long movie?

I made a whole movie in separated parts- each saved as a project and now i want to merge them. After i combine them into one long project i will need to finalize the edit.
What is the best way to do that??
now it is:
first part- saved as project 1
second part-saved as project 2
...-...etc
I tried to copy all clips and effects from one project and paste them in the next one but the music timelines get mixed...some of the titles marks disappear and the i movie crashed and quited a few times even though i did it in small portions of about 15 seconds each time ...

Unfortunately no, in order to do this: SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO BE DONE IN THE SECOND PART (such as changing the lenth or type of a transition- these are changes that are hard to predict before i see all parts of the movie one after the other)
You'll have to work back and forth between the Part 2 original project before it gets exported. iMovie doesn't let you combine projects together in an editable, mix and match kind of way. That's one reason it's so inexpensive as compared to a program like Final Cut Pro X which has some ability to combine projects in an editable format. But it's expensive and has a steep learning curve, most likely not an option for many. So it's an unfortunate limit you have bumped up against.

TOC Link to Projects not an option?
