Help & Manual 5 Professional + Premium Pack

Perfect Help Authoring and Content Management

"I actually enjoy writing documentation now." -- Glenn Fromer, Treasury Software

Think again - because here's Help & Manual 5 Professional!

Help & Manual 5 Professional is a powerful documentation tool and content management system, suitable for use by single authors as well as multi-user workgroups. With Help & Manual 5 Professional, you'll feel instantly at ease with intuitive flexibility of a true WYSIWYG editor . From the get-go Help & Manual 5 Professional allows you to direct your focus on content and writing. No more worrying about file formats, buggy formatting, and all of those other concerns that have held you back all of these years!

With Help & Manual 5 Professional, true single sourcing ability means that you write your documentation once, then produce it in a variety of output needs to fit the requirements of your company or client! Even better, you can create variant content versions, with slight adjustments depending on your output format and the purpose of the document. And all of this is contained right in the project!

This bundle includes the Premium Pack add-on, which comes loaded with professionally designed "skins" for WebHelp and CHM files. They give you great one-click layouts with advanced functions like user comments, sortable tables, a dedicated iPad skin, draggable and resizable popups, permalinks, and more!

Bradley MacDonald OK - I have been using this for years. It is the best help and manual designer I have ever come across. They have done an excellent job with this product.
My customers love when I deliver not only an application help file - but a professional looking manual as well - all from one source.
Very nice program.

Ron K I have also used this for years, and I agree with Bradley MacDonald above: this documentation tool is outstanding. I used old-skool RoboHelp and many packages that were less expensive, and H&M beat them all. The price is good, and especially in the case of RoboHelp, H&M was the better tool at a fraction of the price.

Some of my favorite features:
* Multiple target document types from a single source
* Style management is logical and hierarchical style families are easy if you like that kind of thing
* The Premium Pack gives you a lot of functionality in Web output with little additional effort
* The XML project files give me a sense of security in that if EC were to shut down tomorrow, I'd have my doc sources in a format that would make it straight-forward to extract my text, keywords, etc. into whatever tool I switched to
* Customizable keyboard shortcuts for program features and style selection

Jens P. I have been using Help & Manual 5 at work for the past 6 months to write technical documentation (programming / usage instructions for industrial control systems); I am simply amazed how efficient and easy to use this application is.
Before proposing this application to my manager, I actually tried three applications and found that this one is by far the most efficient to get quick and good results; especially since it imported my existing, hand coded HTML / CHM documents without a hitch.

Based on this promo and the past 6 months of experience, I actually purchased another copy for my own personal use, since I would like to document some personal little tools I programmed.

So far, only a few minor things I would like to see improved:
- Direct import of DOC files instead of RTF (Not sure if this is possible, due to the proprietary nature of DOC files, maybe the formats of OpenOffice/LibreOffice might be a good choice?)
- Direct SVG support including anti-aliasing rendering when exporting to Web; EMF files look very ugly after they are converted to PNG using Help & Manual; right now I use EMF files for print layout only. Frankly, this would be my most-welcomed feature.
- Zoom function in Manual Designer
- A very simply Web skin which does not rely on Java script; basically a static web page; possibly with CSS support. That would ensure that the output will work on ANY device; I understand that search functionality would be lost that way (although CHM can still use the internal CHM search functionality, which does not require scripting).

Nelson Carvalho I have been using H&M for years. It is the best help and manual designer in market. H&M has all necessary features and it is easy to use.

Stew Cam H&M version 5.x is now over 3 years old, so perhaps version 6.0 is not far away. Does this offer include any guarantee about free upgrades for a certain period?
Jul 26 2011 at 5:44am
Alexander Halser Hello Stew,
We offer free minor updates and 6 months of free updates in general. This will include the next major update to version 6. So, with your purchase today, you will get a free version 6 upgrade as well, when it's out.

Glen Coulthard I am a current H&M user and see this BDJ deal as an opportunity to pick up a second license -- but only if I would benefit from a free v6 upgrade. But I'd hate to spend my money waiting until post-Christmas for an upgrade that never comes -- ahh, risky decisions. Also, may I assume that the "free upgrade" policy applies to both H&M and the Premium Pack?
-- Great product! Highly recommended to all.
