What program have you used and recommend for creating help files for software?

There seems to be 100s of programs that generate help files. I'd like to use something that generates searchable windows help, html help for posting online and downloadable pdf. Seems a lot of people like Adobe RoboHelp, but there is no trial and a license is $1000. Is this what you use and prefer or are there other packages that work well? Our software is desktop and online, written in C# and ASP.NET if that is pertinent.

I use Help and Manual which is inexpensive (I believe there is a free trial) and in my opinion VERY good. Its feature sheet is extensive and it can publish many types of help files (CHM, EBook, HTML, PDF etc.) from a single source.
Reply:I like Dr. Explain. It is simple to use, and isn't too expensive.
