Generating Web-Safe Images

If you have used non–web-safe image formats (e.g., WMF, EMF, BMP, TIF, TIFF) in your project and want those images to be converted to web-safe formats (e.g., GIF, JPEG, PNG) when you generate online output—e.g., HTML5, Clean XHTML, Eclipse Help, Microsoft HTML Help, WebHelp, WebHelp Plus—you can use an option on the Advanced tab of the Target Editor. For print-based output types (Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word), the original image file formats will be used when you generate output.

How to Generate Web-Safe Images

  1. Open a target.
  2. Select the Advanced tab.
  3. Select Generate "web-safe" images.
  4. From the drop-down list, select the image format that you want to use.
  5. Click Save the active file. to save your work.

Note If you are using this option, images that link to external locations (such as websites), rather than to images within the project, are not affected.
