Question

Animations not transferring when publishing presentations

Heyo eLearning Community,

I am using Captivate 9 and having a problem with animations transferring over to the PDF. When I preview the slide in Captivate it looks great, but for some reason the animations will not carry over to the PDF. I checked the timeline and it looks in order. Additionally, some of the animations that do transfer over and misplaced. Is there something easy I am missing?

Thanks for your time!

Which exact version number? Latest version is 9.0.2.437.

What do you mean exactly by 'animation'? Is this an imported animation, if yes, a SWF or a HTML animation?

Do you know that an interactive PDF is using Flash? Which Adobe Reader are you using to test?

Obviously I'm a captivate newb. By Animation I mean an Effect under the Timing tab. I believe the problem is they aren't playing automatically, it's requiring the user to hit a play button, however the Skin Editor will be disabled.

I am using 9.0.0.223.

Can you please upgrade to 9.0.2.437? You missed a lot of patches which are fixing bugs.

Effects play automatically, no need to click a Play button at all. After upgrading, can you check again?

I repeat my last question: which Adobe reader do you use for testing, and is the Flash plugin installed?
