I have .007.2009 installed. Artifacting the paths as you describe leave the container in the tags panel. No empty p tags to delete. That in itself is a terrible workaround. This header fails report is really causing my clients staff user a great deal of grief. Adobe you have built up reliance on this technology that is used by many government and private companies to ensure that their pdf content is accessible. This is causing a great deal of uncertainty for users who job is to create documents.

Agree with all of the above - way to much work to update - better to recreate - if you open in Cap 6 then you could save as cptx. and then open the external library in 2019. It would allow you to grab the Library Assets to begin recreating the slides.

Using Captivate 9.0.2.437 and Captivate - Audition 13.0.13.46 and windows 10 - good for me. You may want to update to 9.0.2.437 and see if it rectifies the problem.

You are almost there with the Edit Video Timing window. What is missing is the you only have a single slide. Based on what you show as what is probably the table of content information on the slide in your post, you would need 7 slides one for an intro and 6 for the content. So add six blank slides to your project and then reopen the Edit Video Timing window. Once you have added the slides you will see number slide markers along the timeline in this window.(Generally, you find at the very right-hand side of the timeline and you begin by moving them to the left along the timeline) Move the markers along the timeline and apportion the appropriate content to a given slide. When you click ok Captivate will distribute the video over the six slides. You will see the video icon at the bottom each thumbnail in the slides panel. Then use the properties panel and add slide titles (found at the top of the slide properties). You can then use the TOC in the skin and generate a TOC or you can create links from the first page to the appropriate slide.

Wow, the project you are looking at was created with Captivate 3, haven't seen that for a while. The (i) button was an Adobe marketing tool showing Captivate version. You could never edit the content. I can't remember which version they finally deprecated it in the player controls but maybe version 4. hmm. It is no longer a button found on the playbar as set in the Skin Editor. Follow Lilybiri's instructions to add info. If you want a pop up then use a smart shape or text caption to add the text information about the project or use the appropriate system variables and then create a button on the slide with a show / hide toggle on the button to show the smart shape or text caption. If you use a smart shape button you show for rest of project so the toggle button would be available on each slide .

Like 2017 , 2019 imports the content as a flattened image, therefore same problem not AODA / WCAG compliant with respect to objects. But you could still write a text description in the Slide Accessibility window explaining the content presented on the Captivate slide.

It sounds to me you are inserting an image slide rather than an image on a slide using media.

Typically you get this when your images are too big in file size. You may want to use and image editing tool to reduce the image resolution and adjust the image size to the size required.

Just to add to the discussion - testing in Chrome and Safari - reflections are working - testing in IE11, Edge 41, Edge 44 and Firefox 69 - reflections do not work - now that we are at the mercy of the various browser manufacturers and what they choose to render we will see differences hence the reasons for testing - god going back to pre flash days where you new everything would be the same - and now having to deal with browser issues

This is one where Adobe could learn from Articulate. Miss that I can control the window behaviour from within the authoring tool without having to use a work around that is not part of the application - this is such a basic behavour that we use as ID's and Developers..

I think everyone forgets that in earlier versions 6 and 7 of captivate the output selection used check boxes, to select swf and / or html5 output, not the grayed buttons introduced in version 8

Personally, transitions are so powerpoint presentation - personally never use them in Captivate elearning projects since they tend to be distractions for the learner- if you must use them, then select all the slides in the film strip - right click on one and set the slide transition for all slides at the same time.

I really don't know sum total, but in an LMS like Captivate Prime and even in Adobe Connect, I administer the prerequisite in the LMS not by having someone say they have done it in a Captivate file. Until the prerequisite course is completed, and tracked in the LMS, the Quiz would not be offered. You may want to rethink how you are using the prerequisites in your eLearning.

If you are publishing to html5, then you can edit the CPM.js file in the js folder in the published Assets folder. Make sure you make these edit in the final version of your published project. If you republish you will have to edit again. It's easier to replace a block of code The code to edit is: {overlay:false,position:1,stretch:true,alpha:100,texture:false,showSearch:true,showTotalD:true,showClear:false,showDuration:true,statusFlag:true,hasSelfPaced:true,htmlFileId:19348,clear:'Clear Status Flag',bookmark:'Bookmark',moreInfo:'More Info',slideTitle:'Slide Title',duration:'Duration',minutes:'Minutes',go:'Go',noSearchText:'No Matches Found', use the find feature in Notepad to identify the code - search for overlay replace with the translated text: {overlay:false,position:1,stretch:true,alpha:100,texture:false,showSearch:true,showTotalD:true,showClear:false,showDuration:true,statusFlag:true,hasSelfPaced:true,htmlFileId:19348,clear:'Bandera de Estado Clara',bookmark:'Marcador',moreInfo:'Mas informacion',slideTitle:'TiÂtulo de la diapositiva',duration:'Duracion',minutes:'Minutos',go:'Mi para Ir',noSearchText:'No se encontraron coincidencias' You will have to add proper accents in the spanish as this post is adding non characters so I have left out the proper Spanish accents. Use Notepad to edit the content. When you resave the CPM.js file be sure to save it at UTF-8 format to perserve the Spanish accents. Saving it as default ANSI will remove the accents. You can also localize the tool tips on the buttons on the playbar if you need to Spanish as well: Edit the playbarScript.js file in the playbar folder in the Assets folder an example is shown below. cp.playbarTooltips { AudioOff : 'Audio apagado', AudioOn : 'Audio en', BackGround : 'BackGround', Backward : 'Hacia atras', Color : 'Color', CC : 'CC', Exit : 'Salida', FastForward : '2x Velocidad de avance rapido', FastForward1 : '4x Velocidad de avance rapido', FastForward2 : 'Velocidad normal', Forward : 'Adelante', Glow : 'Glow', Height : 'Height', InnerStroke : 'InnerStroke', Play : 'Jugar', Pause : 'Pausa', Progress : 'Progress', Rewind : 'Rebobinar', Shade : 'Shade', Stroke : 'Stroke', Thumb : 'Thumb', ThumbBase : 'ThumbBase', TOC : 'TOC' }; I have been creating a lot of content for Canadian companies where we have to create the interface in French - this has always been a hazzle in Captivate. In Storyline all you do is click one button and you get to localize the interface in a choice of about 30 languages.

I always ensure that the file I import is .doc not docx. This workflow has worked for me since Captivate 6. You may want to try that - I just finished a large project in 2017 using this approach.

Needs Adobe Reader with Flash Player plugin: Yes Lieve unfortunately this is a fallout of browsers not supporting .swf going forward. I have recently found, many IT departments will no longer download the flash player and allow it to be used as a plugin in Acrobat. Of course that is having a negative effect in the pdf space as well. I have built many FrameMaker training procedures manuals for large corps and military applications that were delivered in pdf. It was great to embed Captivate swf's in the resulting pdf's. Learners / users could read about it in the manual and then right on the next page, do the simulation or complete a quiz based on the text material provided. Similarily using InDesign to create pdf's with swf and video content from both Captivate and Flash was a great way to engage readers for more fun things like interactive marketing materials and design documents. I remember developing a series of elementary school documents focusing on the North American wolf and its habitat, complete with videos, captivate content and flash activities and "wolf howling audio". So it's just not the changes we are experiencing using Captivate and Storyline to deliver online content, the demise of the Flash player in the browser, its also having impact on interactive pdf's since ITs will not download the Flash player to use it as an Acrobat plugin... So at the same we are publishing Captivate and Storyline output to html5, time to switch Framemaker and InDesign to html5 output.

Yes you can Print to Word and then convert to pdf. Method: Use File > Print, select the layout you want from Type drop down and Click the Publish button. Convert the Word document to pdf using save as Adobe PDF if you have Acrobat installed or save as pdf from Word.

That really is a creative solution, similar to what banks do for account unlocking but you also might want to pull the questions from an external source somehow. (Understand my comments were slightly tongue in cheek - but maybe reality some day. )

Thank you for this. I am working in an environment at the moment which is Sharepoint as are most large corporations who use Microsoft technology. I had not been confronted with the blocking issue until upgraded to 2019, as they had used V7 and V9 previously. Now as the article says the issue is real. What it means is that most of the development work is now being completed with Storyline which works seamlessly with SharePoint. No one in their right mind is going to ask ID’s to try and fix this issue when they publish their files. NOT going to happen. Any other ideas? Would love to hear.

If you mean the large circle button in html5 output, you can tab to it in Version 2017 output, but that seems to have changed in Version 2019, you can no longer tab to it. You just raised a good point as far as being keyboard accessible. In the 2017 version it appears not to respond to a default Enter key response and only works with a mouse click. In 2019 well its just not working as the tab. Maybe something Adobe should address if they are supporting accessible features in Captivate.

Rod. Thanks for this. (BABEL) My son Dylan is currently working with me and his background is Unity, Maya and a number of programming languages. We also are working and building more oam files to replace flash content. I know Tristan your son was very versed in Flash. Has he encountered any issues in working with oam output from Flash other than what you describe here with IE11.

It really begs the question and response when will Microsoft finally pull the plug on IE11. They have been their worst enemy by keeping it around with no incentive to companies to abandon it and move to Edge or the new iteration of Edge that is coming.
