Re: Display page number and/or section of a link in a PDF

Thanks. I missed that. I tried out a few and they work as expected.

Display page number and/or section of a link in a PDF

Help and Manual supports links in PDFs. For example "See some-link-text for more information." where some-link-text would be a link. 1. Is it possible to also have Help and Manual generate the page number of the link. Like this: "See some-link-text on page 23 for more information. 2. ...

Re: Converting to PDF space after every 'w' letter.

Missed that but didn't know what to search for. Thanks.

I set the reference printer driver to "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" (under View > Program Options > PDF) as discussed in that thread and it fixed the issue.

Converting to PDF space after every 'w' letter.

I'm using Arial as the font in my help and manual document. When I publish it to PDF there is always a space after every 'w' letter. All other letters are fine. With the exception: 1. For some reason the table of contents are fine, there are no spaces after each w there. 2. If the word starts with a...

topic names and conditions (if statements)

Hi, If I create a topic say Introduction in the left hand side of help and manual (I guess that section is called table of contents). I then see "Introduction" at the top of the topic in the editor as expected. If I try to put an if condition in the topic header in the editor and publish t...

Re: PDF publishing: header orphaned from its content

Ideally, it should not be more than three lines high and should have exactly the same height as the band that contains it. Another question after reviewing further. If the topic text placeholder is the same size of the band that contains it, it leaves very little room between the end of the topic t...

Re: Image covering footer

My "Reference device for pdf output" is set to "user screen as reference device". Would this be an issue? Do you need to select "autosize image" in the open image window to have help and manual do the auto sizing? Right now that's unchecked and I set the zoom % manually...

Image covering footer

I have a topic when an image in it. The topic contains nothing else. When I export/publish to PDF the image covers the footer. Why is it doing this? There was a previous topic on this. See here: http://helpman.it-authoring.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=12372&p=50689&hilit=footer+image#p50689 ...

PDF publishing: header orphaned from its content

Hi,

When we publish to PDF often we see a header that is alone (orphaned) by itself on the bottom of the page while it's content is on the top of the next page. Is there any setting or way to prevent this?

Condition on a entire table row

Hi,

Is there anyway to put a condition on a whole table row? This was mentioned in the link below back in 2009. Was this feature ever implemented?

Rotate image

Can you specify an image rotation when you add an image to help and manual? I have some images in landscade mode but need to rotate them so they'll fit a normal portrait mode for publishing to PDF. Also, is there a feature in help and manual that allows you to have some pages in the PDF in landscape...
