Re: LinkedDocument folder
Hi Nmuss, This is tipical behaviour if the hyperlinked documents are not located within the project folder. In that case D2H copies the linked documents into the newly created LinkedDocuments folder and the file is downloaded when clicked in the nethelp target. I checked with D2H 6. If the linked do...

Re: Wonder how the Doc-To-Help's online help manage images
Hi Seakhong, Nita is correct. The online help of D2H is created with Flare. You can achieve something similar in D2H by using margin notes: Click in the paragraph of the image that you want to be the thumbnail and then click Create Margin Note on the Doc-To-Help ribbon. A table is created with the s...

Re: Programmatically script the generation of Doc-To-Help ou
Hi, Is the problem already solved? I assume that this is not a problem related to batch/scheduling a build. You will get the same error when starting the build manually. The error says that the template (probably the target template) selected in this D2H project no longer exists. Maybe it is acciden...

Re: Fatal errors after recent Windows/Office update

Hi Sjouke, Is your problem solved in the meantime? I checked at my end and links/TOC in the PDF output still works here. Also latest version of D2H and Office 365 Word version 2109. D2H uses the native Word PDF converter, but I assume you already checked those settings. I also read that there is (an...

Re: Problems after februari windows updates
Hi all, I have figured out what the problem is with the bad performance in my doc-to-help source documents. It turns out to be a MS Word problem, not a D2H. In my headers I have used styleref fields; one for heading 1 and one for heading 2. If I delete the stylreref field for heading 2, then the pro...

Hi Sjouke, Yes, the problem only seems to occur in print layout view. Other views to not have the problem. I guess the PDF problem is directly linked to this issue. But what to do now? We have automatic updates in our company, so I cannot revert that easily. And I am afraid Madcap and Microsoft will...

Problems after februari windows updates
Hi all,
Does anybody have any problems with D2H after the windows updates of this week? Looks like the word documents in the D2H projects keep repaginating and constantly have a high CPU usage.
Best regards

Hi Sjouke, Thanks for your reply. The fact that you use modular projects might explain the fast individual builds. The project files (.d2h) with which I experience the performance problem are each less than 5 MB, each project has 34 source Word documents of in total 23,7 MB. The final manual master ...

Re: Build performance long documents in Office365
Just an update. I have the same performance problems when making a PDF of the manual when using Acrobat. So, this is no Doc-To-Help issue, but it seems a Word issue in M365.

Re: New releases ??
Hi Sjouke,
I also use a customized theme, but it is based on accordion. No problems with this one.
Maybe you could compare the old and new original tabs theme for the differences. That way it will be easier to change your customized theme accordingly.
WMS? You're kiddin', right

Yep, I installed it immediately and have no issues so far. I cannot test the Word 2019 support, because we will not have it implemented in our office until later this year.
Enjoy!

The solution is to convert all your source documents and templates to DOCX-format. Then the scaling will be res...

Changing the text itself should work via the Theme designer ('Strings' section of the search settings --> Filter text). You need to r...

Hi jalexander, You might want to check your 'Print hidden text' option in Word. In Word 2010 its in Options --> Display --> Printing options.
