Responsive Project

Hi,


I am new to Adobe Captivate and I have created a responsive project however it doesn't look great across multiple devices.

Is there a way for the project to auto resize across devices instead of placing the size requirements for each? As phone screens, computer screens and iPads can vary in size, I would like my project to cover the whole screen on any device.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

What you seek is the current 'Holy Grail' of all e-learning developers.

But if you intend building e-learning for the mobile world you're going to have to get used to making compromises.

Captivate currently gives you a choice of 5 different viewport sizes.  You need to do some extensive research to find out which particular sizes are closest to the highest percentage of people in your target audience.  Until you have that data in hand you are basically flying blind when setting up for optimal viewport sizes.

There is a great workshop document that covers the basic steps of creating responsive projects in Captivate. Pooja designed the original document and assets, and we worked together on evolving and developing it through a series of online and live workshops. You can check it out on Dropbox here.

Thanks for putting this comment up, as I too face this issue. Particularly in companies that require branding size and uniformity are essential across devices. I was finding the issue with text size. When I put a heading on the computer break point, it was the size I required, but when it changed across break points it was not an even number size, which effected sub heading etc. across the break points.
I look forward to seeing if there is a resolution to this too!
