Captivate

Unlike normal quizzes "submit" buttons, the Captivate 9 Drag&Drop "submit" button doesn't seem able to show the hand cursor at mouseover.When importing a project from Captivate 8 to 9 it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, but I can't find a way to make it work on bare new projects created with Captivate 9.The Drag&Drop "Use hand cursor" option is clearly flagged on, though affecting only sources and targets but not the "submit" button.Captivate 9 is running on Windows 7.Thanks for helping,Matteo Moderator: I took out your personal address, this is a public forum

Afternoon, I am using Adobve Captivate 2019 11.5.1.499 I am in the process of creating a theme for my projects, which will be spread over multiple captivate projects. I used a basic blank cptx project to create the theme as I go, which I import into my other main projects. It has just come to my attention that in this basic project used to create the theme I have 2 "PCM Theme" being used. See the image below. How do I delete the unused right hand theme. They are both called the same name. Not sure how it happened. Thanks

Hi Am I able to just save the audio part of the presentation and edit it to use in a podcast, or is there another adobe software that is more suitable. .  Thanks. 

Just curious if anybody found a way to pass captivate's system or user variable to an html and how it can be accomplished. For example:Looking to use an html file to display cpQuizInfoPassFail variable inside it and wondering how can this be accomplished? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for anyone's helpI recently switched from running Captivate 2019 just fine using a work credit card to using an enterprise login.Afterward Captivate would exit by itself after the splash screen.  I tried using the Adobe cleanup tool and the Captivate uninstall too as well are removing as adobe items from my library (I'm on a mac)Interestingly the creative cloud apps all transferred over just fine on two machines.Constrastingly,  on two different machines I get an error message when trying to reinstall Captivate 2019. (on both machines Captivate would freeze then exit after I transferred to an enterprise account) I tried all of the "Error Code 1" suggestions on this board for creative cloud and they didnt work.  I didnt see any for Captivate.Adobe's troubleshooter guide just suggests that I try again laterso that's just this side of useless. Thanks in advance for your help! Rick    

Newbie question! If I am setting up a responsive Captivate course, what is the recommended largest screensize? The pre-set for desktop in Captivate is 1024x627, but the quality looks degrated when I test it on larger monitors.  Is there a larger size that is mostly used? Would a 1920x1017 desktop layout make a file too heavy when displayed on mobile? Thank you 🙂

Is it possible to have speaker notes (similar to PowerPoint) that are not seen by the audience when you run the Captivate presentation? I would need to hide the speaker notes from the viewers when using a digital projector. Thanks for replying!!!

Is anyone else experiencing hyperlinks to URLs added to text and or buttons not always working?I am getting inconsistencies - I add a link to text and it works, however, when I go back in and make any changes to the presentation the next time I publish the links don't work. Can anyone help?

Hi!How can Adobe Captivate simulate dragging a column border in a program?For example, in the visual editor during site creation.

Hi everyone,I think I'm finally wrapping my head around shared actions. There's one thing that's puzzling me, though, and I haven't been able to find an answer online. I'm hoping someone can help.On the Advanced Actions dialog, when I click Save As Shared Action, I get a list of parameters. The parameters are items from the advanced action which I'm saving, including variables, literals, and objects such as buttons and smartshapes. See screenshot below.If I don't need to use a variable or a literal, I can deselect it (for example, I've deselected the literals 16 and 1 as shown above).But I don't seem to be able to deselect any objects: nothing happens when I click the checkbox for the object.In this example, I want Success_msg1 parameterized. But I don't want q1_illegal parameterized, because it's always going to be the same (the just script shows and hides it, based on conditional logic). There are about 8 other objects I don't want parameterized.How can I deselect these objects

Try to delete an action  Ok that makes sense. Lets see where it is used.  This actually makes sense too, it is not used anywhere in my project. Why can I not delete it?

This missing functionality has been unavaliable in all versions of Captivate, but all other Adobe products is work fantasitc. This is basic functionality and along with many other basic functions, I do not know why it is not included in Captivate. To work around this problem so I can add an item to a group. I have to perform these steps1) Select all item in the group2) Remove the items from the group3) Select all items that were previously in the group4) Include the new item in the selection5) Group the items6) Rename the group to the previous name, because that group does not existJust to add an item to a group...... Why can I not duplicate an item inside a group? Or move an item inside a group  But I am able to delete an item from inside a group 

Hello, I am creatng a project and would like to find out how the users can view it in full screen. I am using version 9 and will be publishing it as a SCORM file to a LMS. Please advise. Thank You 

I am creating some rather long modules with lots of review material.  I would like to create tabs in a table of contents that will allow students to choose a specific portion of the module to go to if they do not want to review everything in the module.  How would I do that?   Cooking example:  Section 1: Egg dishes  Section 2: Meat dishes  Section 3: Desserts.  Would I use a button with the action set to go to a certain slide?  Thank you!Shawn

Hello,We use the PDF output to share our captivate files with learners out of our company.  Planning for the end of 2020 does anyone know or have a plan on how to share these files?  These users can not currently access our LMS.Thank you!

Hello! We're trying to import a PowerPoint project into Adobe Captivate. Upon doing so, it looks promising in Captivate but when we preview in HTML5, all of the text goes missing but the graphical aspects of the slide remains in tact. If I preview in SWF, the text is all there and so are all of the contents which is what we need. But we also need HTML5 NOT SWF. Any ideas on why this is happening? Things to know:- PowerPoint is using transitions, which we have identified is not the cause.- We need HTML5 as our output. We read this article "Converting Adobe Captivate SWF courses to HTML5" and saw this excerpt:"This one is going to hurt big-time if you happen to be one of those e-learning developers accustomed to building their course content in PowerPoint and then importing that PPT deck into Captivate.  The fact is that Captivate converts these slides into...you guessed it...SWF animations." Is there anything we can d

Is there a way to use smartshapes as object styles? For instance a success button? An image might be cool too as a success. or failure.

I cannot PowerPoint slides made on Mac into Captivate 2019. As I tried, Captivate closes "unexpectedly". Does it relate to Catalina 10.5? 

I create on a pc windows 10 but my projects are proofed on a Mac. (NOT Catalina 10.5.) My Capitvate files will not open after they are saved on a Mac. This just started happening in the last few weeks. Any help would be great.

I want to ask a question in one of the interaction slides, and I want the user who is answering the question to answer by recording their voice? Is there a voice recording interaction. 

I created a SCORM 1.2 file from an Adobe Captivate with mostly videos and then a couple quiz questions at the end. I uploaded it to Absorb LMS with no problems. And was able to go through it myself, no problems.  But after I launched it to all our users, I got a few people with issues, it freezes during a video or right before going to the quiz. I spent a little while with Absorb support and this is what they shared back for information. “It appears as this point in time that the content associated with this issue is launching from a .html file. In regards to third party course content this is a dispatch file; as it reaches out to a third party server to retrieve portions of the course content. To remedy this issue, you’ll want to publish course content files that launch from an XML manifest, or similar offline index.”I have little idea how, why, or how to fix the html file from reaching out to third parties. And I thought the SCORM file had an xml manifes
