Help!!

after upgrading to Flare 2019 my targets (DotNetHelp) are no longer supported.
I can't remember some kind of announcement about this (correct me if I'm wrong).

Is it possible to downgrade to 2018 somehow, so I have some time to rewrite my Help from DotNetHelp to ..... ??

Besides that, I ...

to ajturnersurrey,

I use a different set of style for both the DotNet and PDF output.
You wrote to use styles to manage the use of popups in the pdf.
Please help me out here, where do I set (or suppress) the popups in the pdf?
Thx in advange

Ok,
thanks ajturnersurrey
clear answer
one question, where do I set that style?

Hi there,
I use 2 targets for one and the same Flare project.
Main use target is DotNet help. In this Help I use popups.
Second, I want to generate a .pdf from the same project.
Popups do not work now and a error message pops up.
Is there some kind of setting to prevent popups to become active in ...

good day,

Somehow I still can't manage to see paragraph/section second level (1.1.x) in the pdf TOC
I'm editing the styles p.TOC1 - p.TOC3 but that doesn't solve the problem.
See attached pic. Paragraph/section 2.2.1 doesn't show up in the TOC.

I'm a bit done now .... desperate
Help

Thx ChoccieMuffin
I know that pdf doesn't support popups
I was wondering if Flare had some kind of setting that put used popups at the end of the pdf, so that they readable.

Hi
I'm using popup's in topic's.
The popup's are no part of the TOC (of course), but are displayed when mouse clicking in the target dotnet help.
When generating target pdf, mouse clicking results in a message "Could not open ...."
Is there a way to let the popup's be a part of the pdf but not ...

thx. ajturnersurrey and Nita
the things I would like to copy aren't that complex.
I consider your remarks Nita

I have a single user version Flare local installed on my computer.
Running Flare, I can start another session/instance of Flare on the same computer.
Is this a correct way?
Because in this way it is easy to copy things between projects.
Or does Flare mix up things?

thanks. Psider, I found it.

hello,

I my project I have several .png pictures and use option "Image Map" to put some links on the picture.
For example to popup some explanation.

All links are stored in some kind of layer (that belongs to the picture). Because I can overwrite the picture without touching/destroy the links ...

ok, thanks devjoe
I contacted Madcap about this and they admit that this question is asked more often.
It is passed through to the engineers dept. of MC, they will see to it.
In the meanwhile I create a .pdf of the whole project, to use aside the Help.

Thx. ChoccieMuffin
but that would mean I have to redesign my complete project
I thought that somehow common use of a TOC is to right click a chapter and to choose print only the topic or all underlying topics as well.
Pity.

Hello,
I'm looking for a setting to print all nested (underlying) paragraphs of a TOC chapter.
For example (see picture) when selecting chapter "GSE Ink manager; de totaaloplossing" in the TOC, I want to print all chapter belong paragraphs.
So both paragraphs "Uw eigen kleuren maken" and "Hergebruik ...

Hello roboHAL,
I was a while off line, so I saw your post this day.
I had contact with Madcap USA and they advise me to try things out in Lingo.
but thx. for your reply.

Hello,
maybe I described my problem wrong in previous posts, but does anybody here has to handle multiple Flare projects?
And I mean, equal projects but different languages.
How do you manage them?
Do you use some kind of program, method or ... to keep track?
Curious for ideas

Hello,

what I need is a (Madcap) tool that supports me in handling several projects. The projects are equal, language are different.
For example: I have 4 projects, Dutch (my native source), English (sub source to use for translations), German and Spanish.

All 4 projects must be (kept) equal. When ...

Hello,
Is there somehow a possibility use an other skin for the viewer or even to style the viewer?
For example, color styling, used font, change the Caption, eg. "MadCap Help Viewer V6.3" into my companies name?
Looking forward to some reply's

thx Trent
I'm a bit further now, but it's more try and error then knowledge :(
The setting "Page layout break" was already set (see pic).
Somehow I can't manage to see paragraph second level (1.1.x) in the pdf TOC
I'm editing the styles p.TOC1 - p.TOC3 but that doesn't solve the problem.

I guess not ChoccieMuffin, thx
could you tell me how?
I trying around in the Auto-numbering and get a bit further now.
The online Help of Madcap is not that precise to point in the right way.

good day,
I can't make it possible that the chapter and paragraph numbering in .pdf target is incrementing.
Every Chapter (style h1) starts with 1 and every Paragraph (style h2) starts with 1.1

I tried the " {chapnum} {n+} " in the Auto-number property of style h1 but that doesn't work.

Anyone any ...
