Failed to resolve link: filename.pdf

[bash7012]

Hi,

I'm having a bit of an odd problem building my .chm...
When I build, I get an error message that says: "Failed to resolve link: filename.pdf".

I am linking to the .pdf file from a Jump button that I named "Print PDF".
The strange thing is that when I open the built .chm project and click the Print PDF button, the pdf opens correctly.
If I remove the jump button from the skin, the error message goes away, but I need the button.

How do I resolve this error message?
Is there something broken in the link that I am unable to see/check?

Kind regards,

I may be wrong, but I think the issue is that Flare can't find the PDF during the build. If this is the case, you should be able to ignore it - what matters is that the CHM can find the PDF when a user clicks the button.

Oh, that's very strange. I would have thought that if Flare can't find it, the .chm wouldn't be able to.

Okay, if I can ignore it, I shall...

Thank you.

btw, it isn't possible to change the button images in a .chm is it?

Kind regards,

Flare finding the PDF is only an issue if you're going to embed the PDF inside the CHM (not that I'm recommending doing that). The more normal way to do it is to have the PDF included in the product install, and have the button point to the location where the PDF is installed by default. In that case, all you really have to do is make sure that the syntax of the print code and the path to the PDF are correct.

Oh dear! Thanks for the warning.

I currently have the .pdf in my Content folder and only send the .chm to the developers to include in the product install.
Is that embedding the .pdf inside the .chm?

[KevinDAmery]

Yes it is. If that's working for you, though, I wouldn't panic.

Again, the main thing is, if it works in the CHM, you should be ok.
