Wrong Image Appears in PDF Output

Post by TBallad »

The weirdest thing is happening. I have a PDF target, and when I build it, all of my screenshots show up as expected, except for one. When I look at the topic inside of Flare, the correct image shows up. But when I look at the same topic in the PDF, it's a different screenshot image. Any clue what's going on?

Thanks!

Here's one guess. If your screenshot is in MadCap Capture, this can happen if you update the image file whilst leaving an old .props file in place, which I have done when manually copying an updated image into my project. You have to keep matching image and .props together or something weird will result.

Thanks @ajturnersurrey! Not sure if that was the problem, but it's as good an explanation as any. I ended up deleting the image from my Flare topic, then recapturing the screenshot. That fixed the problem.
