"The improvements in Adobe RoboHelp® 7 can only be described as massive. As an author that writes books and documents for audiences all over the world, I’m pleased to see RoboHelp 7 equipped with Unicode support, as well as a simple, customizable user interface that makes creating help systems and knowledge bases highly intuitive. Adobe RoboHelp 7 clearly demonstrates Adobe’s commitment and understanding of this industry."

"RoboHelp 7 is much more than a simple point release — it is a huge leap forward with new functionality you can see and use immediately and wonder how you ever worked without it. In the new Adobe® RoboHelp 7 release, I keep uncovering new gems that have been on my RoboHelp wish list for four years. From reusable snippets and a snappy new multiple document interface, to Unicode language translation support, Adobe has added another substantial product to their technical communications platform."

"While we used to be a RoboHelp shop, we opted to purchase another solution that claimed to outperform it. After a year of struggling with the other product and finally switching back to RoboHelp, I can honestly say that RoboHelp still holds the heavyweight title for ease of use, functionality, speed, and reliability."

"RoboHelp 6 is very welcome and anyone who has been involved with Adobe knows that this is just the beginning; their transparency and commitment to get users involved in the development cycle of RoboHelp is incredibly refreshing.  We produce Policies and Procedures for the Housing Associations across the U.K. The introduction of user-defined variables and advanced conditional content features in RoboHelp 6 allows us to quickly tailor content for each housing association without compromising the core content. These new features make our job easier and allow us to meet the needs of each individual client without compromise."

"A tool is more than its functions. As developers and consultants, teachers and trainers, we have to live with the companies that make the tools we use or recommend.  And here, with RoboHelp 6 and other tools, Adobe stands out. They consistently honor relationships and commitments with people who are part of the larger community — especially their customers and partners."

"It's so refreshing to finally see some sanity emerge with respect to RoboHelp. Adobe didn't grow to the size it did by making bad decisions and poor choices with products. I'm so pleased to see they are committed to maintaining and actually putting development resources into RoboHelp! While I'm sure there will always be naysayers, the commitment shown thus far goes a long way toward making me feel better as a longtime RoboHelp user."

"I've used RoboHelp since the old WinHelp days, and I've always been pleased with the product's attention to customer requests and continual development to give help authors more choices. The interface is sensible and intuitive, and has changed little over the years because it works. I could not be happier with RoboHelp X5, and I look forward to additional development and consistency in the future."

"We work in a multiwriter environment, so it's easy to 'step on one another' if two writers are working on the same project. Technical writers are always paranoid about losing work. Source control in RoboHelp X5 ensures you don't lose valuable content and allows us to work more smoothly and efficiently. Source control is even helpful in a single-author situation because you can do file comparisons to locate previous modifications and versions."

"A lot of companies find their own workarounds to allow groups of authors to work on the same projects, but RoboHelp X5 addresses that issue and does more. If you share your workload with other authors, you will find lots of new features to help automate content management and true version control workflows. Another very welcome release."

"We use RoboHelp as our company's entire eLearning and training platform, composed of software demos, quick fixes, tips from the pros, self-quizzes, and an online help system. We have more than 80 RoboDemos, and we also use Flash®, so the FlashHelp® functionality in RoboHelp X5 definitely appeals to us, as well as the streamlined way to create printed documentation from the same information."
