Hi Team,

I am using 2019 version.

I am unable to open the source file and it says the file is damaged. 

I tried the options mentioned in the pop-up, but nothing has worked.

Please help me in resolving the issue.

    That is a very general error message, it can even appear when the project is just corrupted. Couple of questions:

    Are you use to open the project with the same or a later version? CP2019 had at least 5 releases, and the most recent one (11.5.5) can open older releases, but you cannot open such a project in an older version like 11.0. You can find the version number under Help, About Captivate.

    Normally you should have a backup file, can you check? Backup feature is check by default.

    Try to clear the Cache (Preferences, General settings) and clean the Preferences (if Captivate itself has corruption).

    Hi Team,

     

    The issue is not yet resolved.

     

    We are using The Adobe Captivate Version - 11.5.1.499 and we don't have any back-up file.

     

    Is there any other way to open this source file? If yes, please guide us.

     

    Regards,

    Sravani TJ

    Please read the thread completely. I already pointed out that you are not using the most recent version of Captivate. However 11.5 versions should be compatible even though you are not on the most recent one. They are not compatible with 11.0 completely: they can open 11.0 files but not vice versa.
