Hi, I want to create a PDF output with a watermark. I went through the posts in the forum, and the Flare webhelp. In one of the posts, it was recommended to insert a watermark image in the body tag in the style sheet (print medium). However, when I build the output, the watermark appears in the head...

Hi, I have different versions of the same product. Up until now, I was giving out releases in different URLs. For the current release, they want everything under 1 roof. I created a master project, added one Getting Started topic, and few entries under it. versions.png Linked each one of them to sep...

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for getting back to me. I will contact support and I am going to discuss this with a UI developer colleague to understand the behavior.

Hi Lisa, It doesn't work in any of the browsers. I am copying the following list of files: Content folder Data folder Resources folder Skins folder csh file Default default.mcwebhelp file thrown by the output, and copying it in another folder. I access the online help with a path pointing to the sec...

Hi,
It doesn't synchronize with any of the topics. I am using Flare version 8.
It works perfectly fine in the local output, i.e., the View Output option in the Build. When I copy the contents to the web folder, the web output doesn't get synchronized.

Thanks,
Harini

Hi,
In the Web Help, the Contents panel on the left does not synchronize with the topics on the right. The Automatically synchronize TOC check box is selected in the Skin file, yet it does not synchronize. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Harini

Thanks for the prompt reply Lisa! For now, it is not complicate. I think, one TOC might be good until more variants are needed.

Thanks Lisa, Only the topics that are referred to and linked are coming up in the search. Do you think I can manage conditioning one TOC for many variants of online help for clients? What will happen if a particular topic is conditioned with 4 tags? Has anybody tried conditioning set of topics with ...

Hi, Even after applying conditionals at the TOC level and also selecting the "Exclude content not linked directly or indirectly from the target" check box, the excluded topics show up in the Search. What can I do about it? Do I need to set conditionals at topic levels in addition to the TO...

Hi,

Is it possible to have Save as PDF functionality in each page or topic of the Web Help?

Please find the image attached for more clarity.

It worked. Appreciate your prompt response.

Hi Dave, Thanks for the reply. I have created the div.note style (actually i just copied the existing note style and pasted it under div). How do I group the list/paragraph styles?

Hi,
I am using Flare for all my guides. I would like to include a feedback section at the end of each topic for my reviewer to comment suggestions on it. Is this possible? How do i do it?

Thanks,

Hi Lisa, I found out a solution. Those style classes that were visible in the Style sheet editor as well as in the internal editor (but not in style window), in actual were not present in the project. I positioned the cursor on the style that was not visible and tried to edit the style. It gave me a...

Hi Lisa and Rob,
Thanks for your suggestions! I checked the disable styles, all were enabled. And, switching mediums too doesn't have any change. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Harini

Oh..How do we enable it?

Hi,
I have few paragraph tags in the style sheet, but that is not visible in the style window.
Any inputs? I can see it in Style sheet editor, but it is not appearing in the style window panel.

I have a deliverable tomorrow. Any quick solution will help me finish it soon.

Thanks
