<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">Hello,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">I am using Adobe FrameMaker 10 as source files for generating the PDF output and RoboHelp 9 for generating the CHM output.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">I am unable to use the Import option in RoboHelp (to import the .fm files) as the CSS and master pages are very different. The entire look and feel of the help file
changes if I use the import option.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">Hence, I started maintaining 2 different sources for 2 different outputs. The end user documentation both PDF and CHM files require localization. For this, I must maintain
one single source files and generate multiple outputs (Single Sourcing).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">So I wanted to know:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Symbol"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">Is it possible to maintain single sourcing in the scenario where the styles are different for PDF and CHM outputs?</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Symbol"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">If Yes, please let us know how to do it?
</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Symbol"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">If No, then please suggest an alternative way to do it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">Also, it is mandatory that only one single source file is maintained for multiple outputs as localization is involved.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">Regards,</span></p>
