MadCap Software Forums

I also had .eps files that didn't update and that got cured with a related issue that MadCap support helped me with last week. I wanted to be sure I was happy before I posted.

My other issue was checking out an .eps file, editing in Illustrator, and then I couldn't check the file in with Flare ...

On a related anomaly, I have .eps previews that don't updated.
Closed all topics
Checked out an .eps.
Made and saved changes with Illustrator.
Checked the file in and the preview doesn't update.

All check ins and checkouts were done with Flare 13.

I am using Flare 2017 (Ver 13 64-bit) and TFS. I've have managed to get Flare confused about an .eps image. I have checked out the .eps, edited with Illustrator and checked in but somewhere along the line Flare has gone absolutely stupid with a cache of this file. I had this happen once before and ...

Wish it was that easy. Its not a standard character such as the trademark symbol, TM.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a trademarked name that has two letters set as superscript. When the name is set in a heading (H1) and then cross referenced, the superscript or any span is stripped out of the link when building the target.

Any solution?

Found this thread after submitting a bug report. I just moved to 2017(64-bit) from 2017(32-bit). Didn't see this problem in the 32-bit version or Flare 11 or a full build but definitely saw it in 2017. I just uninstalled Reader as I never use it because I'm on a Adobe CC subscription. I think Adobe ...

This sounds exactly the problem I am having with Flare 13 and TFS. I have access to Visual Studio but don't know where to make the change. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

I have a call into the developer that administers TFS but would love to tell him I solved the problem.

The developers that I work with administer TFS and they think I have a server permission problem. It puts me directly between IT that owns the server and the developers that run TFS. I stayed on Flare 11 with VSS because Flare 12, 32-bit had other issues. So much for upgrades.

Trying to bind Flare 12 to TFS. Used VSS with Flare 11 but Flare 12 is 64-bit. The admin set me up with credentials, server name, and project. When I try to add the server I get the following error:

The admin says I have the same permissions that all of the developers have for their ...

Haven't done anything to the PDF except open, view, and then close it. Some days I have an Adobe app such as In Design open but yesterday was a pure Flare operation. Had to restart twice. I think finding what touches the PDF will be the key.

I get random occurrences of a PDF failing with the error that the target is in use by other processes. Running Flare 11 on Windows 7. I also have Creative Cloud which seems to be somewhat invasive. My solution is to restart the computer. Has anyone else had this issue or know a solution?

I did mean the target (told you there is some pilot error). After stepping back and setting up the Madcap Advanced project that comes with Flare 11, I realized what I was doing wrong. I totally missed the fact that the skins were for the inserted proxies and not the default components at the top ...

I have not been successful with using a Component Default Skin in a Top Nav output. The component skins have been added to the main skin but changes in the component skin don't change the output. For example, changing the background color for the search submit button in the component Search Bar skin ...

Opps, I left this out thread out there and didn't follow up. After submitting this to Madcap they reported back that it is a bug in 10. I haven't tried it in 11.

I'm wrapping images in a div. When I set the divs Page Break Before to Avoid, it doesn't seem to make a difference in PDF generation. The paragraph style in the preceding paragraph only has the Page Break Inside set to Avoid. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, the alias file is part of another output for the same project that will use CSH. I just set the target to ignore the warning. Kind of like the duct tape on the dashboard warning lite.

I am generating a skinless output to produce simple, HTML topic files that will be embedded in the firmware of a device. The device is configured through a browser serving its own configuration pages and the developers have limited the space for the UA to about 250Kb. The target is the HTML5 target ...

Our training department has reported similar issues twice in the last six months which is two times more than I have seen in the last ten years. If you Google this problem there are lots of reasons and lots of solutions most of which deal with the Registry. Also, there seems to be some anecdotal ...

Thanks for the thread. I was just trying slideshow and found the problem in drop downs.

I just received my first requirement for Word output. MiniToc refuses to cooperate as far as left/right placement on the page. The output looks as if there is about 1 inch or right margin. Nothing seems capable of moving it to where it should be. I've been able to adjust the text, line spacing, etc ...

This may be in a Madcap doc but does anyone know what mobile browsers this has been tested with. I tested on an old Android and results were a little twitchy. The current Firefox for mobile seems to be okay.

I reaching a decision point in the next week on recommending Responsive HTML5 or going with ...

Worked much better on a current Firefox browser.

Not tried it on an iPhone but I have been testing on an older Android browser and its kind of hinky. Doesn't scroll well and doesn't always load a page. It works okay in Firefox and Chrome on the desktop.

I really like the responsive HTML5. I'm working on my first deliverables for web and mobile ...

My company is moving to embedding browser accessible configuration in new products. They will work much like setting up a NetGear router. The product manager also wants to embed the user assistance within the product. The help would appear in a side pane following the model of the NetGear. I have ...

I've seen this in 7 and 8 also. Unbinding in the online mode doesn't seem to have a problem.
