MadCap Software Forums

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.
Open the PDF file and dismiss ...

we've the error as well with the adobe DC version.

Hi all,

This Issue has been solved. Its an internal font problem.

Hey together,
I´m to stupid again to figure out how changing the distance between the TOC numberng and the generated heading entry

Thx a lot.

Hi all,
I check the HTML5 help in different browsers like IE/edge and chrome.

I´ve figure out that the old non-breaking space #8239; does not work with chrome. There is no space, the words are glued together instead :(

I´ve figure out that two small non-breaking spaces works fine instead.

Do you ...

for your browser html5 screenshots you can make your screenshots/images responsive by making an image class.
My image class "Image_Screenshots" has unclassified parameter "max-height: auto" and "max-width: 100%.

Hi all,
we are working with 5 editors at the same projekt for the same device X at the first time .

Each of us starts creating at the same time with the manual, e.g.
- colleague 1 writes the online help for a software of device X
- colleague 2 writes the disassembly/assembly instructions for device ...

Hi all,
in the TOC options is the "Auto-generate" tab.

In "Action" you can define how Flare update the TOC entries
- as is
- Inserte Computed Entries
- Replace with Computed Entries

I´ve read the help, so far so good. But what means these options.

I´ve understand the Depth part. I use "1" for ...

Hi,
I´ve this div class below but I use it as a screen only conditions. So I guess at the moment I had problems
- rotating the image JPG file, works fine for HTML5 output
- rotating the EPS illustration for PDF output. Does not work.

I should check this as responsive svg image for both, but that ...

Hey,
I guess I`m to stupid again for the output folder specification in the targets?

I´d created some own output folders for my html5 and pdf outputs,

- For not released draft outputs e.g. "D:\Drafts\HTML5" and "D:\Drafts\PDF"
- For released outputs e.g. "D:\Released\HTML5" and D:\Released\PDF ...

nice that helps me a lot, thanks

Hi all,
I´m wondering because when using IE and Firefox, the non breaking space between my measurement values is always visible. But when using Google Chrome is is lost. It it not enough to make non breaking space, have I define more?

Thx

But for the HTML5 ...

Hi all,
I want to set a global left margin in my tripane body proxy because actually my current css has a lot of stupid left margins, like in all p and table styles. That's bad :twisted:

In the body proxy I have set my left margin for testing to 1 cm to see what happens and then set the left ...

Thx a lot for your answer, I agree.

I do not understand why it makes sense to create topic templates.

For our team I have make different TOCs for different manual / output types. These TOCs have
- read-only topics like safety instructions.
- non read-only topics which can be specified, like standard task procedures.

But all files ...

Hmm, I´ve checked a lot of variations in the stylesheet without any results.

I tried this
".MCPopupContainer:after". And also this "MadCap | MCPopupContainer:after"

But the button does not appear in the popup window.

Sorry, I´m a bit stupid with java script WHERE I´ve to put the source? In my css file or somewhere in the flare installation program folder?

Hi all,

I love the MadCapDropDowns. Is it possible to put a complete topic into the drop down body without nesting the whole topic content into a snippet?
The idea is that the content of a topic comes directly in the topic and not via popup window instead. But I will not put each topic into a ...

By the way. Is there a way to set the popup window style? Like background color or size?

Thx a lot Dave for your help, I´ve found this small nice feature in flare

In my topics I use
- context sensitive xrefs for internal links between the topics
- hyperlinks for external links, e.g. to a website.

The cross reference format for
- Medium non-print is {para},
- Non-Print is {quote}{para}{quote} {pageref}.

Works fine in my PDF and HTML5 outputs. I like it ...

Hi all,
we are thinking to change our general vector format from EPS to AI.

Now I´m a bit surprised why flare does not supports the AI format instead EPS. I thought/hope, ghostscript eats both, right.

No AI in flare? I can not think I´m right
