you could try adding this CSS into the html file captivate creates. I'm not sure all browser support this, it would need some testing <style type="text/css" media="print">   @page { size: landscape; } </style> ... View more

To create a .pdf you would need to send the vars to a server-side script, or use a javascript library to generate the .pdf. If you are a JS guru, have a look at PDF.js.  Or you can use FPDF library for PHP. If you just want your users to be able to print - or if they have the capability to print to .pdf, then you can easily add a button in Captivate with the following JS: window.print(); This will open the browser's standard print dialog box. ...

Is the action on the button to continue, or next slide or jump to slide? If it is continue, it might be that the timeline is stopped mid slide, and by clicking the button, you are starting the timeline and you are seeing the rest of the slide play. To say it another way: If the slide is 10 seconds long, and the pause point is at 5 seconds, and your button's action is "Continue." Then you have to wait 5 seconds for the current slide to finish playing before moving to the next slide. ... View more

You could do this with some JS. Either query the LMS on every screen, and if you don't get a response, then direct the user to a slide saying the connection to the LMS was lost. Or you could query the LMS on the last screen, but, as a user, i'd not want to waste my time getting to the end only to find out i'll need to start over. ... View more

ChrisB, We create the same sort of training, where we remediate to 100%. The user get stuck in a loop between the Knowledge Check question and remediation slide until they answer the question correctly. I use some JS on the last slide of the lesson to send the completion to the LMS. This doesn't require the user to click a button. The JS code: SCORM_CallLMSSetValue('cmi.core.lesson_status', 'completed'); SCORM_CallLMSCommit(); Don't forget to turn quiz reporting on!. ... View more

The player progresses linearly through every slide. The action on each on entry is basic: if userGroup does not equal 2 then next slide. I am trying to use this method, because it is so much faster to develop rather than keeping track of all that branching for 10 different groups. It becomes overwhelming when you have some slides that all groups need to see, some slides only some groups need to see, and some slides that are unique to each group. If something is not working with my method, all you have to do is check the action on the slide that is showing/hiding incorrectly. ... View more

You need a web-server, not a file server. You could easily set up a hosting account and your own website to host them. Depending on how many people need to access this training, you could even set up a web-server on a spare computer inside your company's firewall. I would recommend going to your IT department with your needs and they should be able to set you up. Note I said should, I have had many frustrating experiences with real-world IT departments. ...

Book! I wish...

You could add some extra, external JS to do the trick, by adding it to the index_scorm.html. <script> var myStart=0; </script> Set a variable: myStart =0; Check for myStart on enter of every slide (you can do this with an advanced action, a shared action or external JS). If it is 0, goto the first slide. On slide 1 set myStart=1. Because myStart is not a user var in Captivate, it should not be passed to the LMS. If the course is launched and starts at slide 1, everything will work as usual. If the course is resumed at a slide beyond slide 1, Captivate will jump back to slide 1. ... View more

Embeds are more tricky - the easiest would be instead of using the embed code, to use a direct link to the video? or other thing you are embedding. Otherwise you need to create an html page with the embed code. include the html file in your manifest and then in window.open add the html file name and any folder structure if it is not on the same folder leve as your index.html file ...

User Variables are sent back to the LMS, and the LMS should return them, at least ours does. They are sent in the cmi.suspend_data for SCORM 1.2. You can see this by calling SCORM_CallLMSGetValue('cmi.suspend_data'); in javascript. Here is the result from one of my lessons (it looks like gibberish): G1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP000AA0000C-1ECA%7E%24UW*SBlOP%7E%24UW*KulOP1010B00ACAD0%3B1B1B0B0B2B1B1DB%7E%24UW*cfpOP%7E%24UW*YPqOP1010B10AEAH1%3B0%3B2%3B3B1B1B1B2B0B0B3B0B0B4B0B0EC%7E%24UW*m7sOP%7E%24UW*tttOP1010B00ACAD0%3B1B1B0B0B2B1B1FD%7E%24UW*MoyOP%7E%24UW*uCzOP1010B10AEAH0%3B1%3B2%3B3B1B0B0B2B0B0B3B0B0B4B1B10dK LessonNameAbPolicy%20and%20Procedure%20ReviewTPLaD_Slides_VisitedAO%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1NPLaD_previousBAQanimationPresentBAKccModuleIDB%24JMMccModuleNameAHPPR%20777IccPageIDBAKccPageNameBALccProjectIDB%246jNcontrolObjectA%5Bobject%20Object%5DNinInteractionBAEtextBAKvar_btn001BAKvar_btn002BAKvar_btn003BAKvar_btn004BAKvar_btn005BAKvar_btn006BAKvar_btn007BAKvar_btn008BAKvar_btn009BAKvar_btn010BAKvar_btn011BAKvar_btn012BAKvar_btn013BAKvar_btn014BAKvar_btn015BALvar_testingAEtrueQcpQuizHandledAllBA$_#-#_$" I highlighted in yellow some of my user variables.

Are you using an LMS? And do you have quiz tracking on? If so the LMS should store your Captivate vars and pass them back on resume. If you are not, turn on Self-Paced learning in the TOC settings and that will enable Captivate to store the variables in the browser's cookies. Cookies are good until the user switches computers, then all the data and progress is gone and the user will have to start from the beginning. Other than that, you probably need to add some error checking on enter slide (on every slide that requires the department var) that checks for your department var. If it is not there set an action to send them to a page to choose the department and then use the last slide visited to bounce them back to the slide they resumed on. That might be a job for same shared actions! Here's a tutorial by lilybiri: http://blog.lilybiri.com/power-of-shared-actions-in-captivate ... View more

First of all, as an FYI - opening in a new window will trigger a pop-up window. Which may or may not get blocked by your user’s browsers.
