Adobe Captivate 4 Typing Issue

Hi,
I am facing an issue related to typing in Captive 4 Training and Assessment files. After publishing the files, if I try to enter something in text entry fields, the files hang if I press the keys softly. Until and unless, I type the words tightly, Captivate does not accept the typed words. Because of this, the files hang at numerous places. I have tried to alter the typing settings, e, nothing works. If anyone has faced this problem or knows the solution to it, please let me know.
Regards,
Rohan

Hi there
Are you referring to the intensity with which you strike the keys? That would seem really odd. Keyboards are just mechanical devices that generate codes when pressed. Unless you have some odd keyboard that is pressure sensitive.
Have you tried typing into perhaps Windows Notepad and do you note the same behavior there?
Cheers... Rick

Adobe Captivate 6 Issues

I recently had a virus and my Adobe Captivate 6 applicaiton had to be removed and reinstalled.
1. When I attempt to open the application now, I recieve a pop up box that says, "Some Adobe Captivate features such as screen capture and audio may not work as intended without Administrator privileges. Right Click the Adobe Captivate icon, and then chose Run as Administrator to launch Adobe Captivate in Administrator mode." This was not something I was required to do in the past, why is this step necessary?
2. When I attempt to use Themes, I am being informed that all overrides to object styles and properties will be lost. Do you want to continue? This step is resulting in my text captions appearing with black triangles on each corner and in some instances a black background with greyed out letters. How do I set this option keep ovverides to object styles?
3. How do you change a set as default theme?
4. Is it possible to restore cached files that were previously worked on? If so, how?

You probably had Administrator access set up on your PC previously and Captivate was set to launch with Run As Administrator privileges. Now you don't for some reason. Perhaps whoever did the work on your computer has not set it up the same way this time, in which case you will find Captivate will not work properly.
As far as restoring files from the cache, see this thread:

Hi
We are looking for a software which converts SWF to MP4, we found many software which does the job but issue is file size is not optimize.
We found Adobe captivate 6 which gives optimum quality with good output but thing is we do not have batch process in captivate 6. so we request you to create a plugin or give a best option which have batch render quality and optimize in file size,

Captivate is e-learning development software not a dedicated video convertor, you are better off trying something like Adobe Media Encoder or Super.

Adobe Captivate 5- Color Issues (excel 2007)

Please help me!
I am using Adobe Captivate 5 and am recording 2007 excel. When I have completed the movements, the images and background appear to be fine.
As soon as I preview or publish the colours of the cells and objects (e.g. highlight box) get mixed up:
Either the colors start moving into different areas, or dissapear or randomly move as the screen moves (This image was taken when the screen wasn't moving). Is this a software bug? Anyone had the same issue? Any way to resolve this?
I appreciate the help!

Hello,
Could you check the video quality of the slides? You find this in the Properties panel of the slide, region General. Perhaps it is set to 'Low, 8-bit. Try to change to one of the other settings. On the Captivate blog you'll find a great explanation about this Video Quality. Have a look at:

Issue with using Adobe Captivate Review 2.0 software

I have a file that is about 102Meg published that I am sending out for review. I am posting it to location that everyone has access to on our network. The issue I am having is kind of odd. If you install the Captivate Review software on a new machine you can review the .crev file add comments and save just fine. If you close the programm you can not get the software to open the file again. If you go to a different machine and install the software you can review the file again. We are running 32bit Windows XP with duo cpu @ 2.66Ghz and 4 Gigs of Ram on our engineering computers. If we publish a small file size it does not seem to be an issus. Has anyone else run into this issue?

No, but I would really appreciate it if you could report this to the Adobe Captivate team using the web address I have included below.

Issues with Mac Version of Adobe Captivate 6

I am having issues with Adobe Captivate 6 for Mac. I am missing functionality. Specifically the advanced actions dialog box. I get "null" value in all the fields in the dialog box. Also when I open captivate the welcome screen is blank. I tried uninstalling and re-installing but I am still having the same issues. Am I missing something on the install? Has anyone else experienced these issues?

Hi,
Did it worked fine previously? Can share some more information like your Mac version?
Can you share the screenshot of the problem screens?
Also, Try to follow these steps, to verify in case your Preferences have not gone corrupted--
1) Close Captivate
2) Launch Finder
3) Go -- Go to Location
4) ~/Library -- Go to Preference>Adobe> Adobe Captivate 6, Rename the Folder to 'Adobe Captivate 6_Old '
5) Relaunch Captivate and verify if thing improve.
Thanks,

Text spacing issues Adobe Captivate 8

Hi all,
I've already taken this to the adobe help chat and they haven't been able to help me.
I recently updated to Adobe Captivate 8.0.1.242 and it has caused me no end of trouble with spacing.
Basically if I have a text caption with multiple font sizes it causes in a responsive project the spacing to go haywire. Meaning the preview and the published output looks entirely different, the spacing looks to be around 2 or 3 (rather than 1.5) which crops off big chunks of text.
If I roll back to the previous version of the programme, I do not get the same issues.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
M

Is there some reason why you are posting exactly the same topic under two different user profiles? If you're thinking you will more likely get an answer this way, I have to tell you that you are more likely to annoy people here and possibly even be mistaken for a spammer.

Jam issue when saving adobe captivate 3 project

Hi
ehen i press the record button on the captivae the progress
bar goes until de middle and stop there without moving ....
im trying to do this on a japanease windows xp with the
japanese version of the captivate 3 ...
we retry to do another captivate same issue ... we have
enough free space ... etc...
what could be the cause
Thanks

Hi Vikram, I have done a number of samples, and it keeps happening. It seems any slide with motion on it gets the grey lines. When I'm typing, the lines are vertical. If I'm scrolling, the lines appear horizontal.
In fact, I've had it happen numerous times over the years I've used captivate (since version 5).
I confirmed I have version 7.0.0.118. I checked for updates and see there is one, but I have to wait for my company's admin to run the update. I have a feeling these lines will still be there though, as I've seen them in past versions as well.
I will certainly try the upgrade though! I'm so desperate I will do anything! These have been driving me crazy for two years now

Adobe Captivate 5.5 and Neo Speech: issue to use Paul voice

Hello,
I have installed succesfully Adobe Captivate 5.5 and then Neo speech Add-on. But unfortunately, when using Speech management function, I can't find Paul and Kate voice. These voices are not proposed in the voice list while the installation has suceeded.
A Kate and Paul directories have been install under Adobe Captivate 5.5 but I don't know why these voices seems to be not installed.
My PC uses Windows XP, default language = french. Adobe Captivate has been installed in English.
Thanks for your support,
Odile

Hi,
First I have installed Adobe Captivate 5.5.
Then I have installed Neo spech.
I have restarted my PC, then launch Captivate: Paul and Kate voices are not present in Speech Manager. And I have no special error message, only voices missing.
After that I have installed Loquendo speechs.
Launch again Captivate and see that Loquendo voices are pesent in Speech Manager.
Now I will show you Neo Speech install report, installation done after an Captivate application stop:
The installation has succeeded in the good directory.
When installing Loquendo the report is not really the same, it seems that some additional execution are done:
Following other discussions on the forum, I have looked at my Windows Control Panel Voice and see that 3 voices are proposed. I assume that these are Windows voice. I didn't find Stefan, Simon, Kate or Paul voices and I'm not ablle to add or configure something.
If someone has an idea of the issue

Adobe Captivate 5 not saving

Today when trying to save my Captivate file I am getting the following error and it is topping at 50% complete....
"Failed to add file to zip 2 compressed_data/data-69329916406.cpd . Unknown exception. The save file might get corrupted. You should try creating the zip again."
I have no idea what this means or what the fix is. Has anyone experienced this.
Windows Vista 64 bit.
Thanks for your help.

This error is telling you that Captivate cannot complete the save because it can't successfully zip one of the component files of your project.
A CPTX file is actually a zip file. If you go to your My Documents > Adobe Captivate Cached Projects folder and open any of the folders there, dig down inside the db folder and you'll find another folder called compressed_data inside which there are a number of cpd files. These are all the components of your Captivate project. One of these components is causing the issue.
First try clearing your cache under Preferences > Global Settings > Clear Cache and try saving again.
If this still doesn't fix the issue, you're going to have to start deleting stuff out of your project to locate the offending item. The usual suspects are any Flash animations, text animations, videos, captures of typing text.
Try saving your project as another file name and then deleting slides until you can successfully save. Something in what you deleted will be causing the issue.

Need to uninstall Adobe captivate 7

Background:I had originally downloaded the trial version, then downloaded the full. During the download, I managed to dowload the file twice, so I deleted the duplicate files and also copied the files to out IT folder for backup.
I think during this I had mistakenly moved the files and am not sure where to find them.
First issue: I couldn't see characters when I tried to insert them
Solution: Download access files
Next Issue: in the final step of installing access files, I received an error "Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\mmughal\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\..\D6\.. \DECore\Setup.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. But it would not allow me to chnage the file location.
Now: I cannot unistall the product through Control Panel or re-install, or install other adobe trials.

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Please uninstall Adobe Captivate 7 :
1) Launch Control Panel -> Program & Features
2) Uninstall Adobe Captivate 7
After the uninstallation, please rename "OOBE" folder C:\Users\mmughal\AppData\Local\Adobe folder.
Install Adobe Captivate 7 again, let me know if you have any queries
Thanks,
Vikram
