Considering coming back to Adobe RoboHelp?
Last year the Adobe Marketing team ratcheted up the rhetoric in its bid to steal back users from its rivals. There were e-seminars aplenty on how to leverage Adobe RoboHelp and the Adobe Technical Communications Suite. Then along came a very enticing 40% discount off the price of an Adobe RoboHelp license for anyone swapping back from Madcap Flare, Author-it or Doc-To-Help. That offer is still valid by the way! Then today, John Daigle, President of Evergreen Online Learning, LLC wrote a guest post on the Adobe Technical Communications blog.
Adding a Captivate video into a RoboHelp topic
The Adobe Technical Communication Suite is more than just a collection of powerful applications aimed at technical communicators. It includes integration between the applications not available to users buying the individual applications. One area of integration is the ability to create an Adobe Captivate movie inside an Adobe RoboHelp topic.
Using Symbols in RoboHelp Topics
OK. I know the question on most peoples’ lips is, “Why would I want to use a symbol?” This is a good question, but the variety of symbols available to RoboHelp users may surprise some. Yes there are mathematical fractions that have a limited user base, but there are also many other symbols more suited to the average user.
Mispellings, synonyms and Robohelp Server
Users of Adobe RoboHelp’s synonym feature will know how useful it is. In a nutshell it ensures that users searching for content in your help file find it even if the entered keyword does not exist. This has many practical uses. For example alternative spellings (e.g. UK versus US English) and terminology that can have different values (e.g. a configurable application where users call a record a “Contact” or “Animal”). With the addition of Adobe RoboHelp Server they have another use.
