How to export Captivate to PDF without including flash elements

Hi

I have a few Captivate created presentations that I deliver using Adobe Connect and it works great. Yet, the most common question is where to download the slides.

When publishing out of Captivate it does create a PDF file, which seems to embed the flash version of the captivate project, thus requiring the use of flash plugin within the acrobat pdf reader. Some have no problem with this while increasingly my audience is unable to view the 'slides'.

So, how can I create an export that is just a simple flat, nothing fancy, i.e. no flash necessary, set of the screens/slides?

Cheers,

Fred

Try one of the options under File, Print. It will be a Word document that you can easily convert to a normal PDF, not an interactive one.

Hi Lilybiri,

There are four options and only the storyboard renders the images, yet only as a thumbnail along with a bunch of meta data. The other options generate blank images.

I fear the best solution is to do screen shot of each 'slide' and paste into ppt... if I really want to create a flat presenation or pdf from this material.

Cheers,

Fred

Handouts should have images. However, if someone insists on handouts, I use an InDesign tempalte myself. Largely prefer to send an URL to the published file on my domain, to preserve interactivity.
