We've never seen that error. We use the Compare files tool in Acrobat without any issues. Here are our settings:

I've found this problem as well.

Yes -- we use TNTDrive to set up the mapping.

It looks like they use wufoo forms to display the form and collect the data.

That's what I'm doing. For one project, I have 13 targets that go to separate subdirectories on Amazon S3. We set up the S3 instances as mapped drives on Windows. Each Destination is the directory holding the Help files. In the General tab of the Destination Editor, I put the location under Director...

Our SaaS app is hosted on Amazon S3 and I upload the Helps there as well. Is that what you're talking about?

Current release now is 6355. I wonder whether the reported issues are solved with this.

FWIW, the release notes are at http://kb.madcapsoftware.com/Content/Fl ... se%20notes

We were looking for Flare to handle this. We decided to look into doing it ourselves. In the end, we went with a web service (Cognito Forms). It wasn't too difficult to create the forms and their service handles the encryption and electronic signatures. For our needs (almost 100 sep. fields), it was...

I am using Chrome 47.0.2526.73 m and I'm not seeing this. Is this a random thing?

Cheers for the reply guys! What we want to achieve is a nice way to integrate documentation and customer quotes. So we want to involve some kind of pricing in Flare. For example: we will have 4 variables for the cost prices of the products and 1 profit margin variable. cost price * profit margin = ...

What are you trying to accomplish?

Here's one method I've used in the past. TrinityTuts Customizable draggable popup using jQuery, HTML, and CSS https://trinitytuts.com/custom-draggabl ... -html-css/ I haven't tried it with Flare, but it should work.

Thanks, jsandora! I'm going to try this on Monday! You folks are swell!

I have some image maps in my project. The popups have the top nav header -- Logo, menu icon, search box. and I'd like to remove it just from those topics. I've created a sep. master page for popups, and all it contains is the topic body proxy. This is assigned in the CSS, html.popup under Unclassifi...

We are experiencing the same problem with our popup windows. If you've come up with a solution, I'd love to know!

We use Camtasia Studio (TechSmith) to record and produce the video. We also use Audacity for the audio and use that audio in the Camtasia Studio project.

Adding these comments as Annotations would work. Annotations would give you the edit date and creator as well.
You might instead consider using a Style for Comments as well as a Condition. Both suggestions would be visible in the XML editor.

So has this been fixed yet?

That's what I get when I open the Skin Editor. So far I'm not having any problems. What's going on??

Is it possible to clear the Subversion Server list in Flare?
I'm recording a tutorial on using Flare with our Subversion repos, and I'd like the list to NOT have my existing list in it. It's the list seen here.

For my needs, this is a showstopper. I'd rather remain on 9.x than deal with this. We're coming up on renewals, and will have to give them serious thought.

Is the "workaround" posted somewhere?

Thanks, Nita! That answered my question.

See this post for more info:

That's a confusing thread. I still can't tell whether it is required for Flare 10.

Will Flare 10 work with an existing Subversion 1.7x installation? We have documentation in Subversion 1.7 and hadn't planned on upgrading Subversion until later in the year. Can we use Flare to with the existing setup or MUST we upgrade Subversion?

I upgraded one of my writers to a laptop. She reinstalled Flare--no problems. However, when she tries to get projects from Subversion, she gets an error. It occurs when she clicks the $ in the Browse Source Control Files dialog. browsesourcecontrol.png We can access the repository thorugh a browser ...
