Adobe Captivate 5 Certification

Hello fellow Adobe Captivate Users,
I have the opportunity to get certified in Adobe Captivate but there are no training resources. Has anyone completed the certification? If so what training resources did you use?
I called Adobe customer support and they stated that the Adobe Captvate 5 User guide would suffice. However, having compared the certification test preparation guide to the user guide, there are some pertinent functions that are not covered in the user guide.
Any suggestions would be helpful! I am not looking for tips on the test just some good resources to help me pass the test. A heads up on whether the test is difficult would be helpful I think.
Thanks
Tinukwa

Retrieving & displaying values from a slide in Adobe Captivate 5.5

Hi,
I am using Adobe Captivate 5.5.
1.In a slide I assign a variable with "active" or "disabled" when user clicks Active button or Disabled button in that slide. This I do with Javascript.
2.In the next slide I am able to retrieve the resultant (active/disabled). And I want this result to be displayed on a button as a label or display in a Test Caption. Is it possible to do. If so how?
Please suggest.
With thank and regards
Krishna

I am able to save the text in a java script variable and show the same in an alert (as you observed) but not clear/sure how to assign or save it to a user defined variable in Captivate. Kindly suggest how to first create this user defined variable and how to displays the contents in Captivate.

Is there any other way to get Adobe Captivate help?

Hi guys,
is there any other way to get Adobe Captivate specific help? I've posted a question twice with no help, it's very specific, so no one here might actually know the solution. I'm wondering though, since the chat is obviously not for Captivate users with product or service questions.
Is there a tech team I can somehow contact? We really need an answer to the problem.
Thanks,
Nat
P.S. I'll post the problem again here:
We publish mp4 training videos as HTML5 content and have the problem that we need to restrict the player to only play/pause.
Adobe Captivate 7 works fantastic for us on almost all devices, many Androids, many browsers, and even on iPad. Captivate, after adding the video as a multi-slide video to one slide and publishing it as HTML5 content, only lets the student play and pause the video - just what we need.
But then we test it on iPhone and the iPhone's internal quicktime player recognizes the mp4 video and kicks in, gives the student all the functions they want, totally overrides the HTML5 published Captivate restricted playback options.
Is there ANY way we can get around that? Any function or box we haven't checked before publishing the HTML5 content?
We would even be happy, if the video wouldn't play on iPhone - just as long as they can't use it to fast forward to the end of the video.
Does anyone here know how to bypass the internal iPhone 5 player?
Thanks,
Nat

By the way, I have updated to the newest Captivate 7 version and am using iOS version 7.0.4.
Again, it's fine on iPad, but not on iPhone 5.

Hi Leith,

Adobe Captivate 4 "Blue Screen" on editing "Preferences"

Hi there,
I am using a professional license for Adobe Captivate 4, from work. So it's not a personal copy and I cannot just do a clean install without difficulty.
Anyway, I was using the system fine, and taking an online training about the tool, and half way through my application will now "blue screen of death" when ever I click on "preferences" for even a blank, brand new project.
I've searched through the forum, this site and googled for it, and the only solutions I can find are to update drivers (which I've done with the help of IT support), update firmware etc which is already up to date, and lastly - to delete the captivate folder, reboot and start again.
None of these have worked. Has anyone else ever had an issue like this?
Do I need a clean install? (this would be a pain as I cannot directly install it myself).
Thanks!

Try deleting the Captivate preferences file - captivate_v40.dat - found at ..\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Captivate. This would probably solve your problem.
(in Win XP go to Start - Run and then type %APPDATA% to open up the correct directory. In Vista / Win7 type %APPDATA% in Start - Search)

How do I download adobe captivate videos from the internet?

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to download a video from the internet that was made with adobe captivate 2.
I've tried using videolan and some other downloaders but they don't seem to be working.
I may be going about it wrong, does anyone have suggestions?
I'd like to have them downloaded and saved to my computer so I don't have to access the internet.
Thank you!

Thank you for your help, your suggestion worked for the video! But, I found it doesn't work with all the videos on the site.
For example, the download icon will not light for this video here: http://www.volume11.com/ddsgn150/weblessons/weekone/WeekOne_1b.htm
Thanks!

Adobe Captivate 5 published as pdf not displaying in certain versions of Adobe Acrobat and Reader

We have an issue where upon publishing files as a pdf in Adobe Captivate 5, they will not open in Adobe Acrobat Pro (9 or 10) or Adobe Reader (11). However, they will open in Adobe Reader 10.1.4. I have searched up and down these forums and google, without any solid resolution for this issue. We are running Windows 7 64-bit machines. It should be noted, that if we publish as a exe, it works without any issues. See below for other threads with same issue (but no resolution), and a screenshot. Thanks!

Try this. Though the solution is for CP6, it might still work for you.

Adobe Captivate will not open open within Presenter (Trial version)...

Hello,
I am a subscriber to Adobe Captivate 6 and am in the middle of a 30 day trial of Adobe Presenter. I use Windows 7 Enterprise and have the the 64 bit version of Adobe Captivate 6. I also use Power Point 2007.
I cannot do a software simulation within Adobe Presenter. When I try, I get the error message that Adobe Captivate cannot be started ....
Can anyone help?
Ryan

Regarding this issue error message "(keine Rückmeldung)" / No Response as it's creating the swf file...
It should display the preview window after sometimes. Please wait for sometimes, if No Response text comes. This issue is normally caused due to system load or performance issue. You may face similar issue while publishing, please wait for sometime, till publish finishes.
Regarding this issue.Fatal error in Power Point with Adobe Presenter add-in. If you have seen this error several times, you should deactivate the Add-In and check to see if an update is available. Would you like to deactivate the add-In?
Do you face this issue always? This issue normally arises due to faulty presenter installation or Windows 7 SP1 not installed. This error message doesn't hinder with normal Presenter functioning. If you choose to disable it from this error dialog, then you have to enable it again as per the above steps.

Adobe Captivate 6 activated but acts as a trial version?

Although activated, my Adobe Captivate 6 (eLearning Suite 6.1) acts as a trial version in a sense that Project Expiry Date is disabled and all my project expire after one month.
If I go to Help, the active option is: 'Deactivate....' so there is no way to sort this out by any means available in the application itself.
There is probably a similar behaviour in other elearning suite applications, but I am using only Captivate so I wouldn't know whether that is the case.
My PC is on the corporate network, the eLearning Suite 6.1 is installed only on my PC and I don't have the admin rights.
Is there an option to check the activation status and/or somehow reactivate it again, as it is really annoying to re-publish and upload to company's web portal e-learning files every month.

Hi there
You may need to completely uninstall and reinstall.
Cheers... Rick

Photoshop brush does not represent correctly when recorded with Adobe Captivate 7 How do I Fix this?

Hello I have only just recently purchased adobe captivate 7.
I am currently recording some footage in Photoshop and when ever I change the photoshop's brush size it does not correctly record it in Captivate but rather a giant pixelated version of it. or the brush does not match the size of the brush it is painting.
It looks like something like this, http://imgur.com/a/Ko6Wg
I was wondering if it is possible to record the cursor as it displays on my screen.
below you can clearly see it is recording the brush size at the wrong size to what is been drawn. its kinda random in how it does it.
Thanks ahead for anyone who has a soultion.

Hi! I have the same problem and I was wondering if you ever figured how to fix it.
