Re: Preview Window dosen't work anymore

I had this problem too, and it turned out that an image on the page was over 20MB big which caused extreme loading time. After decreasing the file size, the problem was solved.

Re: Font errors in PDF output

Here is a file-by-file way to get around this issue from a post by an Adobe employee on their forum. I've had to resort to this as no fix has come from Adobe and I need to get some PDFs distributed to my teams. It's apparently not just Flare PDFs that have the issue. Thanks for this! Let's hope the...

Re: Is the CSS support of the Flare editor documented anywhe

* CSS support for PDF outputs is something of a mystery, as Flare tries to convert your CSS (defined for HTML) and get it working with the PDF (which doesn't use HTML). I'd aim to keep your CSS quite simple for PDFs. You'll have problems with multiple/complex selectors, and a lot of newer CSS prope...

Is the CSS support of the Flare editor documented anywhere?

Hi! I'm heading into some more advanced CSS tricks in order to streamline the process of cutomizing styles for different mediums. However, I've become confused by which CSS attributes are supported by Flare and which are not. For example: The CSS attribute "widows" which is very useful for...

One topic with condition tags, or two topics with snippets?

Hi! I have two targets which re-use lots of content. I've found that there are two ways to go about this for a certain page: One single topic , with condition tags for sorting out paragraphs which are needed in only one of the targets. Two topics , with snippets used for paragraphs which are needed ...

Re: Avoiding page breaks within table cells

Turns out the following CSS easily solved my problem:

Code: Select all

td

page-break-inside: avoid;
}

Avoiding page breaks within table cells

Hi! I have a lot of instances of short lists inside large tables which I don't want separated by a page break. Basically, I want to tell Flare to page break in between table rows, rather than inside them: <tr> <ul> <li>text</li> <li>text</li> /* NO PAGE BREAK HERE */ <li>text</li> </ul> </tr> /* PAG...

Re: Mangled fonts in PDF output: how to fix?

This happened to me as well. It started working when I moved to a new computer (both were running Windows 10).

Auto generating acronym list

Hi! I have a big collection of manuals where certain terms and acronyms are present in some, but not all, documents. Now I have created a huge glossary file but I only want relevant entries to appear in the output. It would be really nice to be able to auto-generate an acronym list depending on what...
