Abobe RoboHelp 7

Adobe RoboHelp 7 software enables authors and technical communicators to author, manage, and publish compelling content for embedded help systems and standalone knowledge bases in multiple languages and formats.

Create engaging help content with ease

With RoboHelp 7 software, you don’t have to start from scratch. Leverage existing help projects or import content from HTML, XML, Adobe PDF, Adobe FrameMaker® software, and Microsoft Word documents—RoboHelp splits properly tagged information into help topics and keeps existing tables of contents, indexes, and glossaries. Author, edit, and spell-check content in multiple languages with new Unicode support. Work with automated wizards and topic
templates to quickly build professional help systems and knowledge bases that incorporate standard and advanced help features, including tables of contents, indexes, glossaries, graphics, sound, video, simulations, and breadcrumb navigation. Use the built-in screen capture and iage editing tool to capture screens, edit screen shots, and export images to over 20 image file formats. Easily create context-sensitive help by linking your help system to your application.

Author once, publish many times

RoboHelp 7 supports powerful single-sourcing output. Generate multiple tables of contents and apply conditional tags to tables of contents, index items, folders, and topics to tailor output for specific formats or purposes. Then use batch processing to generate multiple online formats—including WebHelp, Adobe FlashHelp,® HTML, Compiled HTML Help, JavaHelp, Oracle Help for Java,™ and WinHelp— from the same source project.

Collaborate with other contributors

With RoboHelp 7, you don’t have to go it alone. Facilitate collaboration among multiple help authors with powerful content management features. Restrict file access to one user at a time to prevent overwrites. Stay organized and track document evolution with time and date stamps, file-editing histories, and automated file comparisons. At any time, roll back a document to a previous version with Adobe RoboSource Control.

Take your help online

Don’t just publish and forget about your web-based help systems and knowledge bases. Upgrade to Adobe RoboHelp Server 7 to extend and support the capabilities of RoboHelp 7. Deploy server-based WebHelp and FlashHelp projects. Develop help systems for use with the Microsoft .NET Framework, deploy and manage up-to-date  online content, and control and monitor the use of web-based help systems and knowledge bases in real time through a web interface. View detailed usage reports that identify areas of your help system where users have difficulties—such as unanswered question reports—and then update your web-based help on the fly to resolve those issues, even after the release of your application.
