In this webinar, Willam van Weelden will take your coding skills to the next level. In Part 1 of this webinar block, Willam introduced the basic concept of ExtendScript for Adobe RoboHelp. This webinar takes those concepts to the next level with more advanced scripts.
This webinar is aimed at writers that begin coding but want to get a little more out of their scripts.
As an example, Willam will create a script to copy template files into a generated output. With this, you can copy files that are updated outside of RoboHelp, such as images and skin files, into the output. He will then show how to set up the script to run automatically whenever you create an output.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- How to access advanced project settings such as output settings
- How to automatically copy files from a template directory into your output
- How to schedule a script to run automatically
This webinar will provide you with training materials so you can code along!
