Re: PDF font and img size
Hi Alex, You can't have clickable images in a PDF, the PDF format is designed to be printed. Clicking things is for the Webhelp format. You need to use the Conditional Text functions in H&M, so that in Webhelp you have the images as topic links, and in the PDF they are plain images. cheers, Martin.

Re: PDF font and img size
I was using screen as reference device, and my screen has 1920 x 1080, more than the 150 ppi needed to correctly render the PDF. Hi Alex, If your screen is 1920x1080 it is very likely set to 120 DPI (125%). Not 150 DPI (dots per inch). If you use a PDF virtual printer as the reference device, you w...

Re: What are the best options for embedding videos in WebHelp?
YouTube plasters links to other YouTube videos, and we can't find a way to prevent that. Hi Dave, You can prevent that by adding ?rel=0 to the embedded URL (no related content). You can also prevent Youtube from setting cookies on the user's computer if you use the -nocookie version of the URL: htt...

Re: Possible to edit "robots" tags in generated web help files?
Hi,
You can edit the HTML at Configuration > HTML Page Templates > Default. If you use a skin, you need to do this in the skin, not the project.
If you create a robots.txt file and add it to you Baggage files, it will be included in your Webhelp output.

Re: Inserting local media files
Hi Tobias, 1. rename the mp3 file name to remove any spaces if necessary. 2. put a copy of the mp3 file in the Project > Baggage folder. 3. insert an HTML code object in the topic where you want the play button and volume controls ( Write > Insert Object > Insert HTML code object ). 4. in the HTML c...

Re: eWriter password prompt - always on top
Update: That is a normal Windows modal dialog that belongs to the eViewer application. Those dialogs can't be placed on-top since they are alread on top of the application they belong to. The only way around that would be to make eViewer itself on-top, and that isn't an option. Hi Tim, Try showing ...

Re: User Feedback in Webhelp
I would like to know if it's possible to put a feedback window at the end of topics? Hi Marie, It's quite easy to make a feedback box in a topic, if you have PHP or ASP on the server. Insert an HTML Code Object in the topic. Put an ordinary HTML <form> on there. Have it submit to a simple PHP file ...

Re: List of desired features - Any existing theme coming close?
Hi Martin, Bear in mind that you don't necessarily need an actual skin file. H&M works fine natively without a skin. Try it and see. You can then edit all the page templates and configuration files to embed the TOC, topics, index and search pages in your web site any way you like. If you choose PHP ...

Re: Dept of Never Satisfied - now wants a line in minimalist layout
Hi Dave,
That's set by editing the borders for the Heading style, or creating a new style for the headers:
Add a single border of the desired width (line thickness), and then switch off all except the bottom border.
cheers,
Martin.

Re: Editing Skins and Templates
Hi Dale, .hmskin files can be opened and edited in H&M just like an H&M project. They have no topics or TOC, but the same configuration files. When you use a skin in H&M, the skin files are used instead of the configuration files in the project (so editing those files is a waste of time). Remember t...

Re: Graphics inserting: 24-bit only for PNGs?
Hi Nadja,
Have you considered making the "ragged edge" screenshot using the same background colour as your web page? Then it doesn't need to be transparent and you can use any image format. Including from Impict for easy editing in H&M.
