Can the Adobe Captivate logo in the viewer be removed?

The Adobe Captivate logo appears while the flash files are loading, which is okay, but it also appears while the file is playing.

Is this because we are still using the evaluation software?  Will it disappear when we purchase a license?

Hi there

As described in the Frequently Encountered Issues topic we have created (click here to view) many folks ask the same thing. They somehow believe that Adobe has crippled Captivate in some way during the trial period. That isn't true. Captivate is fully operational.

What they have done is to configure the default set of Playback Controls and the default Preloader with the Captivate logo. As a Captivate author, you are free to change these if you like. For the playback controls, click Project > Skin Editor. For the Preloader, click Edit > Preferences > Project node > Start and End node.

Cheers... Rick

Topics 1 & 6 certainly answered my question.  Both the loading and player logos have disappeared.  I'll deal with inserting our own logo at a later date.

Adobe is to be congratulated on its demo policy. Too often, demo software is crippled or results in output with huge banners laid across the output.  Full-featured, generously time-limited demos - 30 days vs 7 days, e.g. - are the only way to go.

Thanks for the link to the Frequently Encountered Issues topic, Rick.

You can also edit the FLA for the default preloader or any preloader.  If you're like me and like the look of the default preloader, but not with the Captivate logo on top, just open the FLA in flash, and delete the Captivate text.  This FLA can be found in your program file directory of Captivate.
