Re: Icon Images appear too small in PDF Output

By default, images are displayed at 1:1 scale for online targets, and on the scale determined by image resolution for print targets. Therefore you should change your Note style and specify the desired icon size for print targets, or change the images' resolution settings.

Re: Forward/Back buttons in HTML5 stop working on some topics

In Flare 8 these buttons worked well. Perhaps their behavior deteriorated due to incorrect implementation of TocPath information in URLs in Flare 9.
Removing the ;K+=encodeURIComponent("?"+M+"Path="+Q) string from the MadCapAll.js script supresses TocPath information in URLs in Flare 9 and also ...

Re: Flare 9 HTML5 and TocPath in page links

Make sure you test it with the TOC sync; I'm curious to see if the original issue comes back with that code removed, or if TOC syncing continues to work.
I use this trick for a year, no problem.

Moreover, the button "Navigate next" that does not run properly in Flare 9 with Cyrillic headings ...

Re: Possible to modify Navigation Panel border width?

However, if the user grabs & drags the navigational panel by using the resize bar, the appearance is reset to the default appearance until the page is reloaded. Is there a workaround for this to force these settings to stick?
The width of the gap between navigation and topic panes after dragging ...

Re: Sharing graphics between localized help systems

TIFF file format is common to print work, especially for the art photography, fine art, art prints, etc. Since it supports CMYK and L*a*b color spaces, that are needed for fine tuning the color and printing prepared color separations for offset printing machines. If you have to produce a CMYK PDF ...

No, if an image already contains, for example, 256 colors, than repeated color reduction to 256 colors does not change anything.

Re: Sharing graphics between localized help systems

PNGs with high resolution can have large file sizes, just like BMPs. You shouldn't need to go above 150dpi for most common printers nowadays.
DPI information is just a 4 bytes in the PNG file header, and you can set and change it without affecting the PNG file size. The Imagemagick utility can do ...

Re: Sharing graphics between localized help systems

most of the file types that support compression are 'lossy'...
No, GIF and PNG support compression, but this compression is lostless. TIFF theoretically supports both lossy and lostless compression, but usually only lostless compression can be used when saving images in TIFF format. JPG and ...

Re: Sharing graphics between localized help systems

So how is this then supposed to work?
Photoshop "Save to web" feature uses the color space compression. Typically, there are 24 or 32 bits of color information for each pixel in a graphic file. This allows the use of more than 16 million colors. Screenshots usually contain much fewer colors ...

Re: Sharing graphics between localized help systems

I've run into complaints from the developers for the software I write a help system for because of its size. The help system is around 10MB, and the size is largely because of screenshots.
You can also compress screenshots without loss of quality using Photoshop "Save to Web" feature. The size of ...

Re: IE10+: Enter in Index/Glossary search field shows Print Dlg

And if I agree to print, Flare prints the current topic, shown in the right pane. Not the glossary or index.

IE10+: Enter in Index/Glossary search field shows Print Dlg

While using Internet Explorer 10 or 11, pressing Enter in Glossary or Index search fields shows the Windows Print dialog.

It happens in any HTML5 Help System made in Flare, e.g. in MadCap Flare own help System http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm

Is there a way to get rid of this ...
