Captivate

I am new to Adobe Captivate I just got a license to create in house e leanring for my organization. I was hoping to use it to create interactive PDFs for micro learning courses. I am disappointed that this doesn't seem possible since it feels like a natural option for an e-laerning tool. Especially one from Adobe. I know it is possible to do with inDesign but I don't have the time to learn the in and outs and master the learning curve of that application. Please share any simple ways to overcome this huge barrier to implementing my plan. I think this is a really good use case for Adobe to consider adding the feature.

How do I upload a ppsx file that has a screen recording (no audio) into Captivate? I want the screen recorded slides to continue to play once uploaded. Is there a way to do this?

I started learning CapClassic just throwing objects on a slide and playing around with interactivity. Of course I ended up with something I liked, so kept going. Ended up being the basis for a course I want to keep but of course I hadn't explored themes and Content Master slides back then (yes, I do things backwards/the hard way a lot). After learning about CMs I created one and want to apply it to the old course and would prefer a blank theme since it was all custom/manual content originally. Can I do this, yea or nay (without screwing everything up)? Thanks for any help.

I need help installing CP2019, an error message appears saying "Update your browser" (the browser is updated).The help chat send me here to get some help... (i cannot believe that I paid fortune for license and not received help even to installed the app).

I have a super simple layout here, to illustrate what is happening. Users will complete their assessments, and they are given an accuracy score that is expressed in ##.##%, such as 61.36%.For our needs, we then have a follow-up slide just after this one that needs to report that exact 61.36% score... but I cannot find a variable that will report it.  The only thing I have found is cpInfoPercentage... but that rounds the score.  I need the score un-rounded.Can anyone help me with the correct variable, so that I can have the accurate number represented on the slide?  The issue is, we have users scoring a 79.81%, where 80% is required to pass.  For our exacting standars, (and the LMS), 79.81 is NOT passing... but the rounded score of 80 gives the appearance that the user has passed the assessment.  Can anyone help me get it so that exact number to report out via a variable? Thank you in advance!

Used 2023 to create a Simulation (demo only). Not sure if this is a Captivate issue or a me issue.On one of the slides, I would like to add some additional instructions in different spots on the screen (ie. "Before you click over there, verify that this is correct over here").Under "Components", I added 2 more Instructions, altered the text, placed them where I want them, adjusted when they display in the timeline, etc.However, when I Preview this slide, I get a "Something went wrong" error.If I preview just that slide, the error appears immediately.If I preview from the beginning, the whole thing plays correctly, including that slide, and I get the error when it tries to move to the next slide.In either situation, if I hit the next button on the playbar, the rest plays just fine.If I remove the 2 additional instructions, the problem goes away. Is this a bug? or am I using the Instructions incorrectly or not configuring them etc.I'd appreciate any help.

I'm playing with the new Captivate. How do you delete items, buttons, for example, from either the timeline of the slide itself?

HiI recently purchased the latest version of Adobe Captivate, and I am excited to start using the new features. However, I am facing an issue when trying to open my old projects, which were created using Adobe Captivate 2019.Whenever I attempt to open these projects in the new version, they do not seem to load properly, and I am unable to work on them. This is causing a significant disruption, as I have several ongoing projects that I need to continue working on.Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this issue? If there are any specific steps I need to follow or settings I need to adjust, I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Additionally, if there is a compatibility issue, I would like to know if there are any available workarounds or if an update is planned to address this problem. 

I have been working on a project for several days/weeks, currently 40 long scrolling slides with several activities, custom quizzes, videos etc. I have also set up an internal navigation/TOC, using Go to slide actions. Everything works fine, until I insert a new slide. If I insert a new slide - regular slide or quiz slide - all internal links break. Meaning, the Go to slide links are still set up correctly, there is no red dot, but in Preview or published all these links don't go to their linked slide, but to the next slide. No matter what I do. Relinking doesn't do anything. Even if I take out the newly inserted slide, all links still go to the next slide. The only thing that helped so far, is making a new project and copying every single slide over, setting up each and every link again. Then it works again for a while. Until I insert a new slide. This happened the third time in a row now, so it doesn't seem to be just a random bug. Is this a known problem? Does anyone

It is really headache to ask, each and every small issue in captivate community.I am working on a simulation project using Captivate 12.3, and the middle of the development, I encoutered with an issue " No right click for click boxes" in Captivate 12......😨😨😨😨 I request to Adobe to clear whether they are going to add Right Click functionality to Click boxes or do they have any trick (if yes please share). if Adobe will not add Right click functionality My organization have think about other alternative to Captivate.

Bonjour à toutes et tous. Je post ici car j'ai vraiment besoin d'aide, ca fait quelques semaines que je buche.Je travaille sur Captivate pour créer un contenu sur LMS.En l'occurence je dois exporter mon quizz sur TalentLMS en format scorm1.2. Oui moodle pour l'instant je ne peux pas me le permettreEn exportant sous format scorm a priori tout va bien.JE peux interagir pas de soucis.Mais les reglages sont trop hasardeux. A un moment l'interaction avec Talentlms se passe très bien en cas de succès et hop il m'affiche le message de felicitations du LMSEn cas d'echec, soit il me ferme e navigateur, sous un autre reglage il ne fait rien. Bref j'ai bien compris que c'est dans les paramétrages du quizz mais quel paramètres choisir a la fin d'un quizz en cas d'echec pour obtenir un comportement correct, a savoir qu'il envoi les info de score mais permette a l'etudiant soit de poursuivre le cours soit en tout cas de déclencher le message d'echec du lms. En vous remerciant. &n

Hi, I am using the new Adobe Captivate. Did anyone experience here the cutting out of audio in simulation slides? How did you fix it? It sounds ok when I test it but when in preview or review mode, I keep having the same issue. Hope someone can help me here.Thank you

I have simple requirement, while playing video, i want to pause the video , need user to attend quiz before proceed further video. I want to add a button over specific position in video to click by user to show the Quiz .How to achive this. I cannot able to drag button over the video

 I’m in the process of making a widget for captivate. I have been having issues with images not being accessible with my javascript, sometimes. The issue that I have been able to track down that a line of code seems to only retrieve 4 of the img json files that captivate generators. I am getting the json files with the images with: ‘window.parent.cp.imagesJSONCache’The result I get when I console.log is  Looking through this object, the image that I need does not exist in these json files that were retrieved.  I can use ‘window.parent.cp.imageToJSONPathMap’  to pull information of which json file the image lives in. In my screenshots I need the img2.json which isn’t loaded with the JSONCache.    I don’t know if there is a way to get in ALL the json files or grab the one I need with javascript  if it doesn't load. Or if there should be another route I should be taking to get these images? 

I can't get this back button to work, no matter what I try. There's a button that runs an advanced action that shows another button and a square. The button that appears has an action that shows a checkmark and a continue button. All that works. However, I have a back button showing at the start of the slide, which doesn't work. Pushing it doesn't do anything. Pushing it several times continues to the next slide. I've tried "return to previous," "jump to <the previous slide's number>," and making an advanced action that goes to the previous slide. I've also tried deleting and recreating the back button. It seems like such a simple thing, but it will not work no matter what I do.  Mark -           

I am trying to delete unused variables but Remove button greyed out

I'm moderately well-versed in Adobe Captivate Classic, but I went through the New Adobe Captivate certification course and want to create a new project. I'm trying to use some of the Asset deck slides as a template for slides. It doesn't seem to matter which asset deck I use. On the thumbnail, fonts and colors of buttons are correct. However, when I download the asset slide(s) to my deck, the fonts are replaced, colors of fonts and buttons are changed. It's a mess, and looks awful. If I just put one slide from assets in a brand new project, save, close, and re-open, a popup asking about missing fonts appears when I re-open. Is it something I'm doing? Should I change a setting of some sort?  What am I missing here? How do I get the pre-made slides to appear as they seem in the Assets panel without having to recreate them myself?Currently using version 12.3.0.12. 

Hi Everyone I just wondered if anyone has tested Adobe Captivate on a silicon M1 mac using Rosetta? According to Apple, the Rosetta emulator should make any intel application work on the M1 Mac, however after previously upgrading to Big Sur and not being able to use Captivate for a period of time, I am waiting on an answer before I upgrade my Mac. I have searched online and cannot find any info, and I chatted with Captivate support online and asked them two questions, to which I didnt really get any useful info. My questions to the Captivate team were: Is a native version planned for the M1 macs? (I know the answer is most likely no)Has Captivate been tested on a M1 mac using Rosetta? At first, the Captivate team simply pointed me to the minimum system requirements - which didn't really answer the specific questions I had. On asking further, as expected there is no planned native version for the M1. However, what I found surprising was that Adobe didn't know if Capt

Hi all,I'm needing to get a new Mac desk computer (a late 2013 Mac Pro, Monterey OS that is no longer able to update further). I also need to update Captivate Classic (I currently have 11.5.5.678) as well as start learning the "new" Captivate (12+). I read that the new Captivate is supported on these new M2/M3 Apple Silicon Processors, but is Captivate Classic? Or does the Classic only work with Intel processors? I need an Apple Silicon processor to keep up with other evolving software updates like Photoshop and Illustrator. But I'm in the middle of big projects with Classic and really need to be able to continue using it, with the intention of transitioning to the new 12+ version down the road. Any advice?

Greetings, earthlings, I have a quick question.On Adobe's tech spec requirements for CPC, I note that there's a comment about it working on M1 chipsets, but nothing about anything later.https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/system-requirements.html Having been caught by this gotcha before, I wonder if anyone else has an idea.Peace, love and green smarties to all. 

Hello,I need help saving.  I have created a project and published it as a HTML5 zipped file.  This is what is needed for the LMS.  However, as the developer, I would like another version that I can open and edit.  This is usually represented as a blank paper icon and as a .cptx file (see image below).  The person that created these is no longer with the company and I can not figure out how to save my project in order to have that second option. Thank you for your help!

Hi.I'm embeding Vimeo videos to a Web Object. I have made States with different Vimeo embed codes, and made buttons to change between the states. But I have a problem:When changing state (changing video), the prior video(es) can still be heard, since they are still running in the background. So I need the button to also stop a started Vimeo embeded video, before changing state.Anyone have the solution for this? I've tried some ChatGPT-suggestions, but none worked. Anyone here got this to work?kind regardsBen
