Invisible Layers Showing Up When Publishing

I'm using Captivate 5 and the layers that I have made invisible are showing up when I publish the file. Does anyone know how to correct this? I make the layers invisible by clicking the eye icon on the layer. The red X shows up, but the layer is still visible when the file is published. The layer is not visible when I preview the slide, however. I don't see any options or preferences to adjust this.

Hello and welcome on the forum,
This is a common misunderstanding: setting a layer to invisible on the Timeline is only meant for editing reasons, not to hide the object. One example: if several objects are in the same place and you want to edit the one that is down in the stack order, hide those above. It has however no result when publishing. So your 'issue' is expected behavior. If you want to hide objects, you have to set them to invisible in the Properties panel, uncheck the option 'Visible' in the upper part.
I explained the functionalities of the Timeline in a dedicated blog post, if you like to have a look, here is the link:

CMYK layers showing up when spot color illos placed in InDesign CS3

When I place an Illustrator CS3 (13.0.2) illustration into InDesign CS3 (5.0.3), Preflight tells me that CMYK colors are being used, even though the imported illustration has only 2 Pantone spot colors matching those used in the InDesign document (the 2 spot colors show up in Preflight as well). I double-checked to make sure they were spot colors, not CMYK. When I go to Separations Preview, my 2 spot color show up but nothing shows on the CMYK layers. I deleted all unused color swatches in my InDesign file (and the Illustrator file), and when I delete the illustration Preflight just shows the 2 PMS spot color that I'm using in the document. I'm using Mac OS 10.5.4 on a brand-new Quad-Core Xeon, if that matters.
I've tried saving the illustration as both AI and EPS, and using CMYK and RGB color modes. I deleted all unused color swatches from both Illustrator and InDesign. For another test, I created a fresh Illustrator file that just had a box in 1 spot color and placed it in a fresh InDesign file, and again Preflight said that CMYK was being used. Besides the usual work-around of telling my service bureau to not output the CMYK film, does anyone have any idea of how to correct this? I've encountered it several times. (BTW, my service bureau didn't know what the problem is).
This is my first visit and post here, so if I have violated some forum etiquette, please forgive me.

Object not showing up when published

Hi,
I have finally managed to get a Facebook "Like" button onto my website but the problem I have now is that the text for the button merges into my background fill which is grey. I have tried creating a bar of colour to fit behind the HTML snippet and it looks great in iWeb edit mode but when I publish it, the block of colour doesn't appear. Can anyone tell me how I can get this to show up or change just a section of my page background or if it's possible to change the colour of the text in a FB Like button. Thank you!

Thanks Roddy, I've tried that and it does improve things a bit. This is what I get with the "dark" option selected which is acceptable to a degree but.....
.....this is what I'm really trying to achieve, which shows up as shown here, when working in iWeb editing but does not show the colour-filled shape when I publish it.

HTML Snippet customized paypal buttons not showing correctly when published

Hi, My customized paypal buttons that i but on my iweb site using html snippets are not displaying correctly. They work in Opera but not in firefox or safari. Please take a look and tell me what you think might be wrong. (all the links are working it's just not showing the graphics correctly (apart from in Opera)
http://www.alisonbrent.com/ShopTableLamps.html
Also I've just noticed that when i return to my iweb application (after closing in down) the Html snippets aren't there anymore just an outline, just like they appear in safari?
Many thanks,
Ali
P.S

Bonjour
You inserted an image inside the ShopTable_Lampsfiles folder but it's is deleted every time you publish your page
1) Create an new folder named Paypal in your root folder:
FTP: With a FTP software (like Cyberduck) create a new folder in your server root folder
MobileMe: just make an new folder inside the Folder Sites (iDisk > Web > Sites)
Name this Folder "paypal"
2) insert your image "addtocartbutton.png" inside this paypal folder
Get the new URL of your image , something like
http://www.alisonbrent.com/paypal/addtocartbutton.png
3) Paste this URL in your codes, replace
src="http://www.alisonbrent.com/ShopTable_Lampsfiles/addtocartbutton.png"
by
src="http://the/new/URL/of/addtocartbutton.png"

Edits in CS3 don't show up when published

I'm having a problem with Editing Publishing, seems to have started recently (last few weeks).
I'll Edit a page using CS3, adding text or images, then after publishing, the new material doesn't show up.
When I go back in to Edit mode I can see the image or text I added.
Here's an example -
This is my page during editing, you can see I added the copyright symbol and Joe Wood
[IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a173/JoeWood_/Misc/Contribute/JGarde n-2.jpg[/IMG]
this is the page after publishing
[IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a173/JoeWood_/Misc/Contribute/JGarde n-1.jpg[/IMG]
any ideas about this issue and what I can do?? Sometimes the Edits will take place after I re-edit and publish it a few times.

OK, I'm trying to recreate preferences
http://blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2011/11/launch-contribute-freshly-by-deleting-preference s.html
it says to go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FOLDER” , but when I look in Software I don't see anything Contribute
[IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a173/JoeWood_/Contribute%20II/cont1_zps5c152799.jpg[/IMG]
but if I open the Adobe folder I see a Contribute folder in there
[IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a173/JoeWood_/Contribute%20II/cont-2_zpsa3ba144b.jpg[/IMG]
is that the folder I delete? There sure are alot of sub folders in there!
[IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a173/JoeWood_/Contribute%20II/cont3_zps44a179b4.jpg[/IMG]
If I do this, do I also have to 'Delete the Preferences in locale' ? I can't seem to be able to find “C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\FOLDER”

BUG: Layers that are turned off show up in published pages

Layers that have visibility turned off in the timeline still show up in the published page.
Also, these layers didn't have keyframes, which means they stayed on the entire time once they were instantiated.
This makes it NOT appear within the program, but DOES appear when publishing. Was driving me crazy, and should be considred a program bug, since turning off visibility should be both in the software and the published page.
- Ian

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.
I can't send a link at the moment, but it should be reproduceable by creating a layer on the timeline, clicking the EYE icon to unset Element Visibility, then publishing or previewing. The element will still be visible on the preview and the published page.
I would expect the behavior of all layers that had visibility turned off to not be visible in the published page or preview.

Report works fine in VS2010 but simply doesn't show when published

Problem:
Crystal Report works fine in VS 2010 but doesn't show when published to web-server, there is no error, it simply doesn't show.
Background:
Installed VS2010 on a freshly installed and fully updated (.net 4.0 is included in the updates) windows server 2003 box with production release Crystal Report 2010. Nothing else is on the server. IIS 6 is running. My web-server and VS2010 is on the same box.
I went ahead and created a new asp.net 4.0 web project called webapplication1. Thereafter, i put a few controls (text-boxes, list-boxes and so on) on the default.aspx page. Then i created a report.aspx page. This page will have the crystal report viewer on it. I went ahead and set the report up without much hassle (got how-to's from the internet). I successfully tested my web app with the built-in testing server, the beautiful crystal report presented exactly what i asked it to. There was one recurring "Sys.Application is null or not an object" hiccup that occured every time during testing when i navigated from the default.aspx page to the report.aspx page (the page the report is on). Clicking ignore or continue on the dialogue box that comes up because of the hiccup will allow testing to continue. Here's a screen-shot of this recurring hiccup.
http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Testing-Error.jpg
As i've shown, testing went great, except for the hiccup. I now moved to setup a publish profile. Since my web-server and VS2010 is on the same box this seemed relatively straight forward. All the files went over except the report, i.e. crystalreport1.rpt file. I solved this by setting the build action to 'Content' in the CrystalReport1.rpt properties. I did a republish. Now i have all my files, see screenshot: [http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Application-Home-Directory.jpg], on the web-server.
I proceeded to try to browse to my app from another computer on my network. This was successful until i tried to navigate to the report.aspx page that the crystal report is on. The the report.aspx page loaded but the crystal report was simply not on it. No errors, not even the hiccup from testing occured. Its as if the crystal report viewer was never on the page to begin with. Only when i right clicked on the page and 'view source' did i see some remnants of the crystal report viewer.
Here is the Report.aspx page when tested in VS2010:
[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/successful-Test.jpg|http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/successful-Test.jpg]
Here is the Report.aspx page when published to the web-server and browsed to from another computer on the network:
[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Reportviewer-Disappear.jpg|http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Reportviewer-Disappear.jpg]
Details of adding report to my web app:
1) Populate my dataset then write the XML schema, reportschema.xml
2) Added the crystal Report to the project then used the wizard to navigate to the reportschema.xml. Of course i had to create new connection in Database expert. see screen-shot:
[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/CR-Database-Expert.jpg|http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/CR-Database-Expert.jpg]
3) I formatted the report the way i wanted it
4) Added the Crystal report viewer on the Report.aspx page
5) In the code-behind of the Report.aspx page i bound the viewer to a report document that is loaded with CrystalReport1.rpt file
see screenshot: [http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Report-Page-Code-behind.jpg]
That's it. As mentioned, it tested fine in VS2010 but the viewer doesn't show when i publish to the webserver. I wrote a crystal report in .net about 8 years ago. Things have changed soooo much since then.
I am wondering if its a license issue? Was also wondering if it had anything to do the testing hiccup, even though research is suggestion the two are unrelated.
I've described my actions as best as i could (without getting into ridiculous detail) and have included screen-shots of relevant stages of the process. Have a look and tell me your thoughts. Thanks.

The "Sys.Application is null or not an object" issue is known, submitted for a resolution and documented in KB #1528503. Unfortunately the KB search has been down the last couple of days...
However, the issue is limited to compile time and does not affect a completed application.
Re. the viewer missing. Sounds like the viewer directory did not get created or configure correctly. Before I get to that. You mention:
"I proceeded to try to browse to my app from another computer on my network."
This bring up the question: If you run the app right on the app server. e.g.; not a client computer, does the viewer and report come up? Is this issue isolated to client computers on the network?
I suspect that the issue exists irrespective of which computer you try to see the report from - but that is an assumption. If the assumption is correct, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50aa68c0-82dd-2b10-42bf-e5502b45cd3a] article on configuring the viewer. The article does not have CR4VS2010 documented, but you should be able to guide your self using the article. I think the pattern will be obvious.

When I open Photoshop CS6, the image does not show in Photoshop. The image IS open, i.e. the filename is shown on a tab and the image layers show in the layer panel. What is going on?

Both Photoshop and Bridge open as usual. But when I open an image, the image does not show in the image area. The image filename does show in a tab and the layers show in the layer panel. What is going on and how do I fix this.

I resolved the problem. It was somehow related to my using Microsoft
theme pictures. I set Windows to use the basic theme and the problem
went away. Thank you for the suggestions.

Why are my hidden layers showing up in a PDF when i convert it from an Ai file?

When I convert an illustrator file to a PDF the hidden layers are showing up when openned by a mac or iphone. This does not happen when i send it to people with a pc and is only happening to one person. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
Thank you.

That's probably because the Mac people are opening or viewing the PDFs within the Mac's "Mail" program or with the "Preview" program and not with Acrobat.
Since the Windows people aren't using these programs and most likely just Acrobat or Adobe Reader, the layers are kept hidden.
I'm afraid the only way to truly keep those layers hidden is to delete them before saving your file as a PDF. (Of course, do a "Save As" and keep your original .ai file intact.

How do I get my code changes to show when published in Business Catalyst?

I have created my website using !Adobe Muse and have used the Ecwid ecomm widget to integrate a shop. As I wasn't happy with the font, colour, etc, I changed the code using the edit 'html' function, accessing the code information from a design browser mode and then further on in the process, I published it to Business Catalyst. However, now the changes don't show. How do I get my code changes to show when published in Business Catalyst? Do I need to go through the same process using Business Catalyst?

Folio showing in Content Viewer, but not when published in Custom Content Viewer... please help...!

I shared a folio to review it in the Content Viewer and everything looks ok, but when published (public / free) custom viewer (v24) doesn't show it. What could be the problem?
Thanks, and excuse my english...

I am guessing two things:
1. You created the folio and uploaded to id [email protected] Then you shared with [email protected]
What is the Title id mentioned in DPS App builder. If it's [email protected], it will not work.
2. Do you have multiple folios with the same product id.

Have made some slide show libraries on publisher then saved as jpg however when I sync through itunes to my ipad the previous import is over written. Can anyone offer a solution. Thanks

Have made some slide show libraries on publisher then saved as jpg however when I sync through itunes to my ipad the previous import is over written. Can anyone offer a solution. Thanks

I have tried much of the same - still no joy.
I also reported it as a bug to Apple although the response page said "we can't reply to messages"
For now I have had to turn off auto syncing and keep plugging and unplugging until the device is recognised correctly - about 1 in 10.
In my email to apple I also listed the contents of the xml file that keeps track of the devices that iTunes has seen:
When seen as an ipad:
<dict>
<key>Connected</key>
<date>2010-06-08T21:33:57Z</date>
<key>Device Class</key>
<string>iPad</string>
<key>Family ID</key>
<integer>10006</integer>
<key>Firmware Version</key>
<integer>256</integer>
<key>Firmware Version String</key>
<string>3.2</string>
<key>ID</key>
<string>8F98884620E0F9FF</string>

<key>Updater Family ID</key>

When seen as an iPhone:

<key>Updater Family ID</key>
<integer>10006</integer>
<key>Use Count</key>

</dict>
You will see from the Use Count that these are adjacent connections, ie plugged in as ipad then as iphone. Apart from the device class, everything else is the same.

Embedded Vimeo videos play when published on desktop but won't show up online

I have a site that I updated recently … when I finished revising in iWeb and published it to my URL none of the embedded Vimeo videos show up. According to Vimeo customer support, and my web host, there is "no code or file" in the space where the video/html snippet should be. Tried rebuilding pages from scratch, still no video. Same process worked before and my site was functioning fine until I made this most recent update. Any reason why embed code would work prior to update, and not now? Why it finds the video when published to a folder on my desktop, but not when it's published to URL? Working with iWeb 3.0 and OS 10.9.4.

From your statements I guess that you put the files on the server yourself.
Make sure that you put ALL the files and folders on the server.
And why not provide a link to the page?

Why my child or subpages not showing in preview or when published?

Why are my child or subpages not showing in preview or when published?

Hi,
Are you unable to see the child pages in the Menu? If yes, please make sure you select "All pages" in the Menu type dropdown. By default, "Top level pages" is selected.

Dashboard when published to BW, date functions always show published date

Xcelsius dashboard when published to BW at a particular date, the date functions(like Today(), now()) used at spreadsheet generates published date irrespective of time or date the dashboard is previewed....Could anyone help me out what actually .XLF gets stored in BW....does these functions stores a static value when published?

Hi Rajesh,
To confirm, you're saying that you're saving a swf (falsh file) to BW and when it's opened by a user in a browser, it doesn't show the most recent date?
In the current version, the Now() function will be calculated at the time the dashboard is opened. Each time you open the swf file you will see the current day/time.
You mention the xlf file. The date stored in this has nothing to do with what is viewed in the swf file (if you're in BI4.0 then the xlf and swf are stored in the same object on the server).
