How do I make a screenshot resizable on a mobile device?
I'm working on creation of a web help system for my project with your HelpSmith software.

Is it possible to create a protected Web Help system? (Access restriction options?)
We want to publish a web-based documentation on our website, but we want to restrict access to some sections for specific users.

How to update font in the generated tables?
I'm using the HelpSmith's Image Tool to capture screenshots and then export control annotations into the help topic.

How do I set the size of the image and annotation objects?
How do I set/control the size of the image, the size of the annotations (e.g. balloons) within the image, and the size of the annotations in the tables below the image?
When I change the size of the image in the topic editor, it seems like it also scales the size of balloons, control annotations, etc.
