The banner advertisements can be annoying Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our challenge was that we needed to share the help documentation for our software product via a compiled help viewer, our website, on a mobile phone friendly view and as a single html page. Before HelpNDoc, we were using Word as the source and then modifying it for each different target. That was not efficient and led to possible errors and inconsistencies. HelpNDoc offered the additional benefit of being able to embed videos from our youtube channel with ease and sharing it among all the different views.

We ran into a couple of technical issues and their technical support was courteous, fast and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Outside of using the templates that ship with the product, we did have to remember some of our Pascal days in order to modify the one page html view to add our own table of contents. Also, there is no easy way to make the html output WordPress compatible, so we had to get creative there as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1990's-like interface. Could use a facelift Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HelpNDoc is very easy to install and use. It exports to a number of different formats including CHM and PDF. I have authored help documents using this software that are linked to VB.NET WinForms code, and the interaction between .NET and the HelpNDoc CHM works perfectly to provide in-application context sensitive help. For anyone who needs to generate PDF manuals or CHM help files, this is the software I recommend you use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike about HelpNDoc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like having the ability to build help files in many different formats. For example, if I want to call my help documentation from a windows application that I wrote - I generate a .chm file. I can also generate the code required to link to a specific help topic with the help file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One feature that I wish it had (if it has it I can't find it), is the ability to sort the menu items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
