Text Rendering as .PNG in Non-Responsive Project

Question

My team and I are having issues getting text captions to render as a .txt file format within a standard non-responsive Captivate project. It renders as a .png in the published output. Whereas, in a responsive project, text captions actually get rendered as a .txt file format.

We already have a major project developed in a non-responsive project (.cptx) and we read converting this project to a responsive project would cause a lot of the core functionality to be distorted. We want to be able to have our customers be able to modify our courseware (edit text, add/remove pages, etc) within our LMS. Our customers won't be able to edit text within our courseware using the custom tool we already have implemented within our LMS if it is a .PNG. Can anyone provide insight into how to export a non-responsive project within text output as .txt (text) instead of .png (image)?

Thank you.

The reason text is converted to images (for SWF output) is that Captivate doesn't embed fonts (for file size reasons). To avoid that a font will not display properly on a user's system because he has that font not installed, text is converted to images. The only exceptions are dynamic text containers like the field on the score slide, where the presence of variables needs that the text is generated on runtime. That means that the font could be converted to Times New Roman if it is not present on the user's system. This gives you a way to create dynamic containers: insert a variable, which can be an empty variable and the text container will be generated on runtime.
