Hi

I got the following error message that prohibited the generation of PDF target:

"The Variable name already exists. Error Code: 800a170f"

There is no reference to what is "the variable". I have imported plain Word files and haven't yet defined any Doc2Help specific constructs in the Word source.

Can we explain the error code and how to troubleshoot and fix???

Thanks & regards,
Khaled

If this is a Doc2Help problem, you might want to post in the Doc2Help forum rather than a Flare one.

I moved it to a better place.

Hello,

I suggest to open one of the sample projects and try to create a pdf with it. Let us know, whether your issue happens in sample projects as well as in your project.
