Thank you. I'll check the default on Adobe Reader. Have a great day.

Thanks for your response. I create pdfs for the PDF target and view a topic for the PDF target within Flare. I thought I needed Adobe Acrobat, but I only need Adobe Distiller? Is that part of Adobe Reader? Initially, when I didn't have Adobe Acrobat, I couldn't create a pdf of a topic within Flare ...

I just updated to the latest version of Flare. I need to purchase Adobe Acrobat and want to know what versions work with Flare 2017.

I've read the Search Freezes, Search Filters Don't Appear post before posting this. I'm having the same problem. The webhelp works fine on the server. The problem is with the client and Internet Explorer 11. Chrome and Firefox can display the search panel without any problems. I've gone into the ...

I'm having the same problem. The webhelp works fine on the server. The problem is with the client and Internet Explorer. Chrome and Firefox can display the search panel without any problems. I've gone into the target and the Publishing tab and tried to uncheck the "include server-side help engine ...

Yes, in essence that was part of my question. This is what I am trying to accomplish. I would like a way to export just what was changed. Is there a way to do that? Can it be done by date of something like that?

I am trying to develop a way to output/export just the paragraphs that have changed for review.I have tried working with File Tags for Status, but this only applies to topics. I'm trying to select just the paragraphs and images that have changed within the topic.

For example, I setup a condition ...

Thanks. I'll make sure I deactivate the product first going forward. Thanks for your input.

Now I see the Deactivate Product button on the Help menu, but missed it yesterday. I've already uninstalled some of the older versions. Will this cause a problem in the future? I don't envision moving any of those versions if I update my PC.

Cheryl

Thank you. I didn't think of that. Wanted to make sure that other things didn't need to be done.

Cheryl

There are several older versions of Flare and other MadPak Suite applications on my c:\ drive. How can I uninstall the older versions? I don't see an uninstall or deactivate option in the applications.

Thank you Mike. I will delete the temporary files.

I have a very large project with multiple targets which creates a large temporary file when the targets are built. Can the temporary file in the Output folder be deleted after the targets are built?

I looked at the Clean Project option, but I do not want to delete the targets. Can I just delete the ...

Upgraded to Flare 10 this week and am looking at the HTML5 target. I am trying to change the Madcap logo to our company logo. I copied the HTML5 default skin to HTML_MWA. I am in the skin and select Logo>Background>Image. When I try to change the logo, nothing happens. The logo is in the Resources ...

I used the Text Editor and changed the parameter to "Inherit". Everything is still working.

Thanks for your help.

Cheryl

Thank you for the suggestions.

I "cleaned" the project. Using the text editor, I finally changed "Avoid" to "Default". This still did not work.

I started looking at the target. This is a long, convoluted pdf and the target was changed frequently to try to get various things to work. After taking ...

Thank you for the suggestions.

I am having problems changing the stylesheet. I am trying to change H3.PageBreak from "Avoid" to "Default" in the page-break-after and page-break-inside properties. The program keeps reverting back to "Avoid". I've also tried to change this in H3 and get the same ...

The style is H3.PageBreak, not Heading3.PageBreak. I entered it wrong.

I have checked the Medium and it is set to "Print". Are there other options I can check?

Hi Everyone,

I am having a problem with page breaks. In my stylesheet, I have defined a style of Heading3.PageBreak. When this style is applied, the topic should start on a new page. The page-break-before is set to "Always". The page-break-after and page-break-inside are set to "Avoid". The only ...

Thanks. I'll try that. Didn't think to use snippets in that way.

I am trying to add a topic multiple times in a TOC. When I do this and you select that topic, the TOC expands and shows where the topic is the furthest down in the list. I would like to be able to go to the next time the topic occurs. For example, I have a topic that explains how to do something ...

I will submit a request.

And thanks for the suggestion. It will make the index huge, but I do see how it can work.

Cheryl

Can I setup multiple indexes in Flare. For example, I want to use a general index for everything, but create a separate index for a set of merge field names.

The best example I can come up with is a cookbook. You have a general index and a Recipe Index. I have created mutliple Index topics, but ...

I would like to use mouseover and specify a maximum size for the image when the mouseover feature is used in the webhelp. Some of the images are large and overflow the screen when the mouseover feature is used. I can specify the size of the thumbnail and mouseover in the image. On the Size tab, I ...

Thank you for your suggestion. I was trying to find out the difference between the Page Nme and Page Type. I will go back and look at the Page Layout again. I think part of the problem is I don't have a good understanding of how Page Layouts work. So, I need to find out more about how they work and ...
