Image button resizing

Report · Apr 03, 2017

Hi there,

I am wanting to resize the tiny image buttons that come standard with captivate. When I do this they lose their quality, does anyone know Adobe has made the buttons in larger formats?

Thanks in advance

Image buttons are to me 'old style buttons', I never use them anymore except in situations where the much more flexible Shape buttons can be used which are the quiz and score slides. A shape can be filled in Captivate with any image you want. At this moment in CP9 the InBuilt states for shape buttons are no longer working on master slides (they did in CP8) but I sincerely hope this bug will be eliminated soon. Have a look at this blog post:

An even better solution, still not available, would be to be able to fill shapes with SVG's - vector based which would eliminate all problems due to the nature of bitmap images. Or even to be able to use SVG's directly as shapes which can be used as shape buttons. Now I'm daydreaming again.
