RoboHelp Patches and Updates
Contents
Apart from regular patches, RoboHelp also regularly receives smaller updates and fixes, such as security fixes. These security
fixes and small updates are not installed automatically and you need to see the announcements if you don’t want to miss them. And when you reinstall RoboHelp, it is always a pain to find all fixes on the various Adobe sites. This page lists all regular patches, security patches and other fixes for Adobe RoboHelp.
This page contains downloads for several unofficial patches. These unofficial patches are created by HelpEssentials and free of use. We do not offer any form of warranty on these unofficial fixes. While we tested them thoroughly, you use these unofficial patches at your own risk.
Did we miss a fix? Please let us know and we will update the article.

Downloading Old Versions of RoboHelp
If you need an installation of an old RoboHelp-version, download the version from: https://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/kb/robohelp-downloads.html
Installing Patches
This page lists two types of patches: regular patches and hotfixes.
Patches
You can recognize patches by version number. You can install patches in RoboHelp by going to Help > Updates.
If that method does not work, you can use the direct download links provided by Adobe and install the patches manually.
Hotfixes
- Hotfixes are separate files that you will have to copy to the correct folders. Every hotfix contains instructions on how to install them.
- Hotfixes may be provided by third parties (such as me). Hotfixes by third parties are recognizable through the text (Unofficial) in the tables below.
Notes
- I have been assured by Vikram Verma, former product manager of RoboHelp, that all patches are cumulative. You can install only the latest patch and skip earlier ones.
- A patch includes all hotfixes that were delivered previously.

If I have modified Responsive HTML 5 themes (based on Azure) that were created with the original RoboHelp 2017 release, what (if anything) do I need to do to them to get all of the latest fixes in Update 2?
Willam van Weelden
If you have the 2017 version, there’s nothing you need to do.
If you have a layout that was brought over from RoboHelp 2015, follow the instructions on this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/kb/rh-upgrade-responsive-layout.html#main-pars_text
