Sometimes I want an image to fit to the percentage of a page, but in height. This is because sometimes an image is significantly taller than it is wide and therefore configuring the image in width causes it to run off the page in pdf, or have the need for constantly scrolling in web view. Could we h...

The <%TOPICTITLE%> variable is really useful for me when naming files and for quickly re-using topics/snippets for different areas of documentation. I'd like to add reference in some sections to the parent topic, so like this: <%PARENTTOPICTITLE%> - <%TOPICTITLE%> . Does a <%PARENTTOPICTITLE%> varia...

I was going through an OEM manual and noticed that the page number of the pdf matched the actual page number of the document.



Can we do this?

The thing is the manuals I produce have 200+ pieces of literature with them.

It's easy to drag and drop them into a page, but if I had to individually link every file, I'd get nothing else done.

Is there a limit to the amount of files I can embed in a pdf?

H+M falls over when publishing 200+ links.

So it does.

Cheers, Tim.

When I change a Style I often want to change the style but keep the custom formatting. For example, when I apply Style1 to a topic/paragraph I might make bold certain words. If I then change to Style2 , selecting the topic/paragraph changes everything to that Style. I would like the option to apply ...

In Full screen kiosk mode the pdf opens but appears behind the EWriter.

Is there a fix for this?

I've finally worked out linking in pdf, but I'm struggling with e-writer now.

Can you point me in the direction of the help literature for linking pdf documents in a local E-writer?

Thanks

That sounds good. We currently run pro. Would we have to upgrade ourselves to a floating licence and purchasing an extra one for the translator?

Would it be easy enough to sync to our server then? What do I need to look at from the H+M end?

I intend to have various technical documents translated with DeepL. We have various translators we use depending on language/price etc. I would like to do as follows: Purchase an extra licence that can be utilised by the current translator being used. Have the translator remotely access our project....

OK, that makes sense. I've just got in a muddle with the different methods of linking.

Thanks, Tim.

You can't use wilecards in search paths, but you also don't need to. The search path is ONLY relevant on YOUR computer. It is used for finding the files to be included in your publishing build and has zero effect on the links in your project. If you are including the files with your package you bas...

The problem I have is that the customer doesn't always have internet access, or access is poor. Is there a way to add a custom Project Search Path? For instance, could I add: *:\Document Storage\Drawings *:\Document Storage\SDS Where * (or something) is the wildcard? Then the customer could drop the...

I've always struggled with how to link/store external pdfs/documents. Somehow in previous pdf output I've created links that seem to pick up the pdf no matter what folder I store it in. This is represented by a comment icon in the pdf and indeed the file name is present in the comments section. How ...
