Hi,

check your PDF Target on tab PDF options and clear the checkmark at "Include non-TOC bookmarks in the bookmarks pane".

Hi,

Just discovered that this occurs when whitespaces are inside the text positioned inside the PRE tag.
I stumbled accross this when using long pathnames or XML blocks with a lot of attributes in documentation, spanning multiple text lines.

I have created a bugreport (case 69554) and will post ...

Hi,

Generating PDF in MadCap Flare 9, I get:
Generating the same PDF in MadCap Flare 10, the Pre tag does not work anymore and I get this:
How to fix this?

Hi,

For those who are following this:

I have found that when setting the format to APLHA (A,B,C) for the topics in the appendix this is not updated until the h2.appendix and h3.appendix heading styles are applied manually again.
After doing this for all appendix topics I finally have the wanted ...

Hi,

This issue appeares to be a bit more complex.

I want to use the option "Use TOC depth for heading levels" so when positioning a topic in a TOC the correct level is derived from the position in the TOC.

However, when a topic is positioned inside TOC1 for Target1 and is used at a different ...

Hi,

For those who are having the same issue: I found this as a working solution:

In the used stylesheet, AFTER the defined style used for h1 add the next additional entries:

h1.notTOC
{
mc-heading-level: 0;
}

h3.notTOC
{
mc-heading-level: 0;
}

This will cause the defined style to be applied ...

Hi,

Working with Flare 9 on PDF output, i have the next challenge:

In the current document there are a number of chapters and a number of appendices that each go to heading level 3. I am using a toxproxy on the Table of Contents page. Using the option to have the heading levels formatted ...

Hi,

I use the next workflow for "converting" other documentation files to Flare and have the next setup:

1: a separate Flare project that contains the pagelayout (with several subpages for frontpage, publication page, TOCpage, topic pages (portrait and landscape) ), the stylesheet, and images ...

Hi,

I will beceome a subscriber too. Besides this (using Flare 9, but hopefully solved in Flare 10, but... the company decided to skipp 10 and wait for 11...) the issue with extra installed fonts will be solved also so I do not have to guess which is what. To give you an impression, the available ...

Hi,

Just a wild idea:

Maybe you can use an index option for this, labeling the requirement identifiers as a keyword and using a format to add the pagenumber?

Hi,

This will not help generating a solution. But in designing the documentation, why are the requirements inside the user guide? For the very complex product I am writing documentation for, a separate Requirements document is used.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

The output is OK now. On the TOC tab Advanced I cleared the Empty Page Handling option which I enabled because I understood that that is needed when using empty pages.
But apparently witt this option enabled, the empty page does not show up in the output at all.

But ...

Hi,

No, I already tried that.

Maybe a better question would be: "What exactly is meant with "Empty page handling?".
A: Is it that when printing the PDF an empty page is inserted, but when viewing online, no empty page is shown?
or:
B: When creating a pagelayout that contains a [T] and an [E] page ...

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

No: the title page has a body frame, and 2 decoration frames, on top covering about half the page, followed by the body which is in turn followed by the second decoration frame; these frames do not overlap. The second page has a footer frame and a decoration frame ...

Greetings,

For a PDF, i have created a pagelayout for the title page [T] followed by an empty page [E].
I have the pdf option checked to handle empty pages.
I have 1 topic hooked up to this pagelayout (the page layout is imported from a linked project).
I have the topic set to page type Title and ...

Hi,

I am working on PDF output, (Flare 10) and would like to do something like this in the Table of Contents:

Contents.PNG

Or maybe some other graphical option, just to let go the old aged default plain text design. But this seems not possible...

If there is anyone with a workable idea I would ...

Hi,

I have created a nice solution, using existing functionality in a creative way. For me, this works perfectly.

I now have a PDF that contains active and "non-active" url's, preventing readers to open a non -existing website/page.

What I did is simple:

1. Enter the URL.
2. Position the cursor ...

Hi,

Check that the tocProxy is not using a H1 tag, like this:

Hi Tom,

I must discuss this with my co-workers. If this ends up in using Capture for this, then I can use your steps for creating an image library and also contact MadCap Support and enter a bug report.

Thanks for going through all steps.

Greetings,

Hi,

Thanks for the steps. I used a slightly different approach:

1. I start Capture and then start any other program, like Notepad, to take a first capture of a complete white area which I use as background / workspace to put the objects on.
2. Next I capture the "server" image (I also used the one ...

Hi,

For clarity, all used images are *.png, even the background image is a png, but it still does not work. Even when saved an image in MS paint as PNG whith the "select" option "transparent background" active, and copied an past this PNG to the background PNG in Capture a white border is showing ...

Hi,

Additional info: I just discovered that Java is needed to put an *.SVG image in a Flare topic. It would be very nice if this was mentioned in the help file. But it hat really needed? This is not wanted by the customer.... .

Hi,

In this forum there are a lot of topics dealing with "importing *.svg files into Capture". I am using capture V6 and there is no import option.

Question: How to import *.svg files into Capture?

I would like to use the *.SVG files from Visio (2010) in a Capture palette, but this seems ...

Hi,

Probably I am expecting to much from Capture, or the Transparancy color is not designed for what I am trying to do:
In a Palette I add 2 objects. Next I create a new screen capture to get a background object (a white workspace, so to say), on which I position the 2 objects:
Capture.PNG
Next I ...
