Hi
In Flare 2020 I learned to disable Adobe in IE and then my PDF previews opened in the Adobe window, and not in the Flare modal popup preview window.
I just upgraded to Flare 2021 r2 and now my PDF previews are opening again in the modal window. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Anita

Thanks for the reply. I'll see if I can get our policies changed

Hi
I am using Flare 2017r2
My HTML5 (Tripane) output uses Modernizr 2.6.2. My developers say that they need it to be version 3.5.0 when they attached my output to their product.
This is inside a file generated by Flare. It is in the output folder Resources > Scripts > custom.modernizr.js
I don't ...

Hi
Thanks for your reply. I just saw it.
I see you have the MAD certificate on your signature. I have it too and want to add it to my signature, but can't figure out how
This is what I get if I click Img in the tool bars above


Does yours look different?

Hi
Quick question - How do I add an image such as a screenshot to a post?
I assume that the same instructions would apply to adding an image to my signature.
Thanks

Hi
I've embedded OpenSans fonts in my stylesheet.
In my Chrome browser, they appear fine.
When I open in IE, the OpenSans is not recognized.
Also, how can I be sure that Chrome is showing the fonts that I embedded and not the fonts that are installed on my machine?
Thanks
Anita

Thank you David.
This looks like just what I needed.
I'll test it out later.

HI
My TOC is looking better each day.
Now I have different size fonts for each level thanks to "div#toc ul ul a", et
my next questions are:
1. can I put different icons for the different levels? I need this because of the different font sizes. I want to resize my icon to match the font size.
2. Also ...

I found the all caps!
I put this in my css:
text-transform: uppercase;

Thanks again for your help.
1. I just found out that I can't embed Wingdings because it belongs to Microsoft.
2. You were right. I link the fonts because of the Exclude content not linked directly... option. It works nicely for me.

I added four types of Open Sans Fonts to my project and it seems ...

Hi
I've found a lot written about this, but I need a 1, 2, 3 procedure for embedding fonts in a project.

Here are the pieces that I've found, I need help putting the puzzle together.

1. Put the fonts into the project. Question: Is this just a *.TTF file, or others too?
2. Create a font-family ...

Thank you David. It worked like a charm!
I was already using an appended stylesheet from your SkinMods project. I just needed to know what styles to add.
Now I need to take it one step further.

I replaced the icons for open/closed books, but in a hover or selected state they don't show at all. I ...

HI
I have a tripane skin. I need have different fonts for each level in the TOC in the navigation panel on the side.
Inside the skin, when you change the fonts, it changes it for all levels.

I assume this has to be done in javascript on the toolbar tab or in an appended css that runs ...

Hi
I was working the same way for over a year and had all kinds of problems.
I solved the issues, by using External Resouces for the template.
1. I have a master project where I manage the stylesheet and anyother files that I want uniform across all my projects (table styles, condition sets)
2 ...

Hi
I am creating WebHelp output that is attached to an application.
It contains entries for all of the possible error codes in the application.
There are CSH links for each error code. Since there are hundreds of error codes, they are grouped together inside topics.
Each error code is a separate ...

Hi
I am working in Flare V10
I created merged output in HTML 5 and uploaded it to my company's server.
My company is using a SharePoint 2010 FAST search engine and my contents are not getting 'hits'. This is a major issue for us.
What do I have to do to make the Flare output compatable with the ...

Is there a way to make a Splash screen in HTML5 output? I want something that behaves like the Flare splash screen when you start Flare.

Thanks, but that sounds way past my capabilities. I've used percentages for max-width of images. I wonder what would happen if I manually put 45% in the CSS in Text Editor view?

hi
Since my HTML output will be opened in different browsers and on different size screens, how do I set the defaults for opening the output to a percentage of the screen?
The graphics designer wants me to set it to: 45% width (583pixel), height 100%

thanks

â—‹ Medium (print) = no thumbnail
2. In the online target, on the Advanced tab, set Stylesheet Medium to non-print.
