Projects
Last updated 12/14/2011
The master project must have an index or the merged index is empty. To merge CHM files, your master project needs
to have a binary index when it is generated. With a binary index, all the keywords from the child projects are merged,
alphabetically sorted, and saved in the index file (HHK) of the master project. Binary format is ideal because it is highly
compressed, takes up less space, and is faster to load. Index files in the child projects do not have to be in the binary
format.
Set the Binary index option to the master project before merging the projects.
How do I distribute merged HTML Help projects?
Distribute the CHM files for all the projects, and save them in the same folder as the master project. When you merge
projects, the CHM file of the child project is copied to the folder of the master project. Whenever you update and
generate the child project, copy the updated CHM file to the master project folder.(You can do this using Windows
Explorer.) Distribute the most current versions of all CHM files.
Adobe AIR projects
How do I distribute merged Adobe AIR Application projects?
An Adobe AIR Application project is a single .air file. To distribute this .air file, copy the file from the output location
to the required shared location.
How do I run merged browser-based Adobe AIR Help from a local folder?
Add the output folder in the list of trusted folders defined in the RoboHelp.cfg file in the FlashPlayerTrust folder. See
“
Distribute Adobe AIR output
” on page 321.
