Re: Tables and Borders

Thanks to both of you for the replies. For this project since most tables are already defined using a tablestyle, I stuck to Dave's suggestion. Removed td/th border in the general style sheet and created a different table style that was tweaked to suit my purposes. Works well so thanks :)

Tables and Borders

Hi all, back to pick the brains of you guys again.

In my Flare project I defined a Table style with Cell Padding "not set", Outer Borders: "none" for all 4. In the Preview pane, I see a table that has no borders (which is exactly what I want). When I apply this style to my tables, a border appears ...

Inserting text into an image

So what I want to do is this:

I have an image file (example: image of a MP3 player) which I insert into the body frame of a topic. When that's done, I want to label certain buttons on that image (example: Play, Stop etc.). I tried using textboxes but they can't be positioned using the mouse or even ...

Running H/F or Header variables for footer

Hi,

I'm trying to create a PDF output with a footer that goes <h1> <page number>. The h1 style is applied on the titles of each chapter. Each "chapter" comprises of one main topic file (where the h1 style is applied) and a number of sub topic files.

I've tried 2 types of variables.
1) The Heading ...

Re: PDF output with hotspots

InDesign and Fireworks are able to produce interactive PDFs (at least according to their intro pages). But these are Adobe's own products. It's not a common function I believe.. rarely do PDFs need to be interactive anyway so I wasn't holding much hope on madcap supporting it.

Thanks though. :)

PDF output with hotspots

Hi,

Wondering if madcap has this functionality. Basically my project has 2 types of targets, chm (webhelp) and pdf (printed). One of the topics includes the image of the product, with each product button numbered. Each number is then made a hotspot and linked to their own topic.

When I generate ...

PDF Bookmark Problem

Hi all,

I have a project that has several topic files, each containing a number of sub-headings. My aim is to generate this into a PDF output. Everything comes out right except that the PDF bookmark pane that is generated only lists the main heading of each topic file. I want the output to have a ...
