Answering my own question after trying it - Yes 2 different targets can be published to the same destination folder.

My project images are set to display as Thumbnails for my HTML5 output.
The same project also has a PDF target.
I have found on some PDF pages, the images are not expanding fully.
Any ideas as to the cause please :?:

Here is my HTML:

That "Master Page Layout" field in Project properties is referring to page layout files, whose extension is .flpgl. Flare is asking you which one you want to use as the "master" page layout for the whole project. That field is not referring to master page files, whose extension is .flmsp. The ...

Forgive my going off on a tangent for the moment. I notice that the paths shown in the build log refer to OneDrive. MadCap does not advise storing a project on a network drive, and I most definitely advise not storing a project in a cloud location. You might be hitting sync errors between your ...

Incidentally, I checked Project Properties and it seems as though Flare thinks my project is a PDF only?

Created my project originally as an HTML5.

Then added a PDF target to it later down the line.

Issue: when I Build my HTML5 project, the build is failing every time, with a message saying Search.htm:Failed to parse master page file .

From this error, I thought I'd check under Project Properties ...

Actually, that error could also be due to the target having a broken link to the master page (on target Advanced tab)........
I've had more than 1 Masterpage from the time I created the Project:
Home-Page.flmsp
howtousehelp.flmsp
newtopics.flmsp [/color]

My HTML5 topics/pages use the ...

So have you checked if Search.htm has a link to a master page, and if that link is broken?

Not created a Search.htm

Help please

Apart from adding a PDF target I'd not changed my project but now the HTML5 output is failing to build as follows:

Thanks everyone for your much-appreciated help. In this case, it was human error - somehow I managed to assign the wrong stylesheet to my HTML5 output.

M33R4

Did you make any changes at all to the default medium in your stylesheet? It's really easy to do by mistake when using the stylesheet editor, so I suggest you do a comparison between the stylesheet when it was working nicely and the stylesheet now when it isn't. Other than that, I can't think why ...

My project HTML5 output was behaving well - images were displaying as thumbnails, my DIVs were aligning stuff correctly, my formatting was on point.
Then I added a PDF target, adjusted the Medium PDF in my stylesheet and now my HTML5 is not displaying as before.

Thank you Nita - was hoping it was something as simple as that

How can I have all my content listed in the left hand column only please

Thanks.

For your graphics, in your PDF medium you could try setting a maximum width, for example "max-width: 98%" or "max-width: 12cm". DON'T set both max width AND max height, or you could end up with your graphics being distorted....
I've now set the max width in % but still having the same problem with ...

My project is single source with 2 outputs:
HTML5
PDF

I use 1 stylesheet for both.

Images in my topics are so large that I have programmed them, via the Stylesheet, to display as thumbnails for my HTML5 output.

In order for those thumbnails to print full size in my PDF, within the stylesheet ...

My first guess is that there's something dodgy about your PDF publish destination. To test it, see if you can publish your PDF output to the destination that works, or try to publish your HTML output to the destination that doesn't work. That'll confirm things. That will tell you whether the ...

That was the solution!

Much appreciated

My project has 2 targets:
HTML5
PDF

I have set 2 targets :
HTML (Primary)
PDF

I have set 2 Destinations:
Desktop > Flare_Online_Published
Desktop > Flare _PDF_Published

Problem:
I published the HTML5 and that was successful.
I published the PDF but getting the error message in the ...

In HTML5 targets, the browser can only print the current page.

If you want it available as a PDF, then you'd need to create all that manually - e.g. create a PDF target in Flare, add the built output PDF to your content folder, and then include a link to the PDF from your topic.
Thanks Dave ...

Perhaps using keyboard shortcut keys may help some users - I use two monitors, window resolution is 100% and I was having the same issue so rely on shortcut keys, until I find a better solution:

To capture the full screen:
CTRL SHIFT F

To capture the window including its frame:

...Use the Print button on the topic toolbar.....

Although you can print via the browser, the toolbar Print button works better because it will expand drop downs, togglers, etc.
Dave, will this Print button also print images full size even if on the topic page those images are styled as ...

I have the Search Input box within the Top Navigation menu as follows:

searchinput.PNG

The problem is that it is too narrow and position-wise it is too low. How can I increase its height and move it up, away from the header's bottom border please

Many thanks.
