Adobe Captivate 5 - Problem with scoring with Quiz exported to PDF

Hello,
I have created several review quizzes that have been exported to pdf and uploaded to the internet. They are elementary school quizzes that are listed on a canned school web hosting site that only allows uploads in common formates such as Microsoft Word and pdf.
I tested these pdf quizzes with no problems and from my computers they still work fine; however some people are having problems with the scoring element. Some - not all questions are not tabulated correctly in the end review section. I have been told that the questions were answered correctly but the end review showed some questions as wrong or not answered. The quizzes are reveiw only and no reporting or LMS is used.
Has anyone else seen this? I had a feeling that perhaps the adobe reader was at fault, but so far everyone is using reader version 9.
One of the quizzes can be found here.. http://www.germantownschools.org/faculty/jwoger/4th_math_topic_1_quiz[1].pdf

Hi,
I have since my initial post been told that certain elements of the quiz slides are also not working. Correct answers have a sound clip that plays when the "correct" option is selected. This is not working for some users. Like I said I have no problem with the pdf quiz from any of the computers I use and don't know why it doesn't work for others.

Adobe Captivate 6 XSS Errors with scormdriver.js

Using Adobe Captivate 6.0.1.240 and getting critical issue errors from Fortify scans by our security group. Does anyone know of a solution? I haven't been able to see issues in google queries and in the forums. --thanks
EXAMPLE
scormdriver.js, line 1032 (Cross-Site Scripting: DOM)
Fortify Priority: Critical Folder Critical
Kingdom: Input Validation and Representation
Abstract: The method WriteToDebug() in scormdriver.js sends unvalidated data to a web
browser on line 1032, which can result in the browser executing malicious code.

This looks like the code that outputs all the SCORM calls to a debug file (if the user invokes debug mode).
Dave's solution is probably the best one. You could make this change in the scormdriver.js template in the Captivate install directory, but make sure you keep a backup copy of the unchanged file in case you ever need to debug something with your LMS.

Problem filling out a form exported from pdf to docx.

I "successfully" exported a pdf form to word docx. The form looks exactly like the original. However, when I attempt to fill in the blanks (which are large) the text gets dropped in vertically e.g. first name la
st name (on a lower line). I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Filling out this form is urgent, and the only reason I purchased this program. Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi Catherine,
I'd like to assist!
The file may have converted as an image, possibly due to poor quality.
Are you able to bring the words together by utilizing your 'back' key?
Let me know how it goes if you try converting it again.
Kind regards, Stacy

Problem with photo quality when exporting interactive pdf

Hi guys!
I made a simple pdf with before/after retouching samples with photos overlayed, changing on mouse rollover.
When I export it as an interactive pdf (on lossless jpeg quality), the photo quality on the final pdf looks like a jpeg on 40% quality, really bad. Rollover works.
When I export it as a pdf for print on high quality - the photo quality in the final pdf is flawless but rollovers dont work.. (I checked "Interactive Elements: Include Appearance) but still nothing..
Pleeease help cause I can't find a way. I just need the rollovers to work and to have the photos in the best quality possible.
Thanks,
Jelena

If you haven't already you need to change the resolution as well. Like this:
72ppi is the default which in theory should be fine for on screen viewing, but play around and use what works for you.

Adobe Captivate 4 - Flash Movie with Text Animation

I'm working on a project which has a slide which includes a Flash Video.
I'd like to put a Text caption over the video.
I've tried Text Caption and Text Animation.
Neither of these work......
Please let me know if there is some way to do this which I haven't considered or I need to adjust my settings.
Thank you,
David Gambal

Unfortunately, that is not an option. I work for a state government and the computers are locked down for security reasons. Updates are handled by an IT group and pushed out to all state computers. We were running Flash Player 10 and everything worked fine until the Flash Player Update was pushed out as a Microsoft Update on January 8th. There have been subsequent "Security Updates" to the Flash Player pushed out via Microsoft and none have corrected the problem. Even if I could uninstall the current Flash Player and install an older version, it would just be updated to the current Flash Player tonight.

Try Print as Image (Advanced button on Print panel).

Problem w/Optima font when exported to pdf from indesign

I'm having a problem exporting files to pdf format with the optima font. It looks okay in indesign (preflight reports font status as okay)
but when I open pdf it is misformatted. I changed it to another font but would really like to use optima. Has anyone else run into this problem and how did you solve it?
Thanks

Thanks Michael,
New to forums and having a little trouble finding my way around. I reposted
on ID forum Optima file is from Adobe and is ps file.
Thanks for your help.

Problem Statement 1 : Failed to Export the PDF file.

I am getting an export error with InDesign CS6, any help to solve the problem, is greatly appreciated. I am on a crunch deadline!
Thanks,

Nobody can know. You have not provided a shred of solid information like system info, what PDF settings, stuff used in the document and so on. In any case, ask in the ID forum.

Did Adobe fix the "black line around PSD exported to PDF" bug?

Just wondering. Sure it taking a LOT of extra time and space to work around this...
I don't think they fixed in CS3 - so maybe in CS4?
thanks,
Andrew

Hi Guys-
Robert - first, it's absolutely NOT only an onscreen issue... and I have the botched proofs and prepress guys to back that up. I know that's the popular thought, but, unfortunately, it creates real artifacts. The solution was in the rip, and I'd be happy to post the details.
Second - even if that wasn't the case - I distribute a huge amount of our literature in Acrobat format, and people don't want to see the outlines.
Good news that it's fixed, that's just quite an expensive solution!
Gerald - thanks for the notes; I will certainly look into this, as it was my impression that layered TIFF couldn't retain all the control over layer effects, etc. Will experiment with this-
cheers,
Andrew

Problems with bleed and exporting to PDF.

Hi,
I am having a slight problem exporting a file to pdf in Indesign CS3.
I have my documents set up with a 3mm bleed and I have made sure that the images and work extend passed the bleed marks as they should. The problem is that when I export to pdf, the pdf file appears to have cropped the work exactly on the bleed line leaving nothing extending passed the bleed. The 3mm bleed area is still there but nothing is extending into it which is kind of pointless. I don't know whether there is a setting I am missing or something like that but any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

"It appears to crop it exactly on the bleed line."
for the record, isn't that what it's supposed to do?
Your bleed line is 3mm outside the trim. Anything you bleed will be contained in that 3mm band. If you hang any more than 3mm off the edge, only the 3mm in the bleed band will show on the PDF.

Any alternative webserver to WAMP that works with Adobe Captivate?

Hi there,
We are using Adobe Captivate version 5.5 with an internal website using WAMP 2.1. Recently our ISO found that WAMP's php/apache version is outdated, and require a upgrade, but I checked that even the most recent version of WAMP's version 2.2, its php/apache version is still below our ISO requirement of 5.3.15. I did not find any discussion in Adobe Captivate talking about an alternative webserver to WAMP, is there another option exist? If so, what are the steps to make it work with Adobe Captivate? Thank you...

I have only set up IIS servers on Microsoft Server operating systems, but there is apparently a way to do it in Windows 7 (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/how-to-install-iis-on-windows-vista/ ). However I have never tried this so I don't know if there are any limitations with IIS running on a desktop operating system as opposed to a server operating system.
If you have an existing server running Microsoft Server 2003 - 2012 then you can simply enable the IIS on these and follow the relatively easy wizard to get it up an running.

Export a PDF with Imposition and wraparound

Hi everybody,
I'm a relative newbie here, and I apologize for that. I'm looking for some help in CS5 with imposition.
Specifically:
I created a 28 page booklet, 8.5x11, for a client that has 28 pages. Same booklet as last year. However, this year, the client - to save money - wants to print on tabloid paper. So an 8.5x11 format needs to convert to 17x11.
The printer they have chosen wants the inDesign document as a PDF.
Two unique problems: one, how do I export to PDF a document that allows for imposition. And two, the front and back cover are wraparound (a single image).
Or, more concisely, how do I format this correctly? And can it be done in a single file? Or would a second file be required to handle the wraparound of 1 and 28?

I would have thought that too, but that's not what I'm hearing from the printer.
You are correct: I have been told by the printer that 14 11x17 sheets, printed double-sided, and golden in half, will save the client significant money. Hence the reason the client made the change. So getting my imposition right kinda got me scratching my head. But let me revisit that with them.
The cover issue I still need to be clear on: how pages 1 and 28 can have a wraparound image , and still assimilate into a layout. How would you handle that in your print house? Right now I moved 28 to precede 1, built the layout, and then moved that half image back down in the layout. Is that correct?
Thanks so much for your insight.

Adobe Captivate 5.5 "Fatal Error" Crash Caused by "CS Live" in CS 5.5 Programs

This should be an official bug report. Forgive me if there is a more effective way to submit a bug.
Adobe Captivate 5.5 crashes with a "Fatal Error" when the user launches a CS 5.5 program while Captivate is running in the background. This only occurs when the user is signed into Creative Suite's "CS Live" in the Creative Suite programs.
This problem can be reproduced easily by launching Captivate and Illustrator side by side. Then the user must sign into CS Live through Illustrator. Captivate will crash with a fatal error every time. I have confirmed with Captivate running while launching Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, etc.
You can see a quick video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayDDSN7rSY0
There is no solution to this bug. I have tried nearly everything, following the framework at Troubleshoot launch issues, problems | CS6, CS5.5, CS5
• Clearing the cache / rebuilding the profile directory in User/AppData/Local/Adobe/Captivate 5.5.
• Reset Windows fonts and deleted all Adobefnt*.lst files / rebuilds on program launch.
• UAC is disabled, I have administrator rights, and the application is set to start in "Run this program as an administrator" for all users.
• Switching graphics from Intel to Nvidia and back for all Adobe applications.
• Disable activation on both Captivate and the Master Collection, then reregistering .
• Deactivating/Uninstalling/Reinstalling the program entirely.
For now I will stay logged out of CS Live in my Master Collection programs.

Adobe Captivate CC - Device Compatibility

Hello,
We are currently working on a virtual tour for the National Flight Academy. You can view the virtual tour at this link...http://www.nationalflightacademy.com/virtualtour/
We built the tour with Adobe Captivate CC and published with both HTML5 and SWF checked.
We are noticing that the virtual tour doesn't work as well as it should on Mobile Devices i.e. Iphones, Androids...as well as the firefox browser.
Are these issues on our end and can be fixed, or are they just known problems on said platforms?
Are there other issues that others have came across as well, on other devices and platforms?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Rick,
You're right!
I apologize, very busy here.
Basically, when you are on your mobile device and go to the site and experience the virtual tour it opens it up in a new window and only shows the video. No interface. Once the video is finished you exit out of the video window that pops up and you are prompt to choose your path. Once you click which way you want to go, another video window pops up and the interface is gone again. You are not able to view the interface and click on the 360 Degree tour or the get more info button while the video is playing. You have to wait till the end of the video.
However, when you wait till the video is over and click on either the 360 tour or the get info button, it will automatically refresh the tour and you have to start form the beginning.
FireFox won't let me even play the video, on Mac or PC.
It gives me an error.....

Can a quizz created in adobe captivate be published through adobe formscentral.

I currently give printed question papers to my students. As the adobe captivate is most suitable for quiz creation, is it possible to distribute the quiz created in the adobe captivate through adobe form central and collect the answers given by the students.

There is a web viewer but there is no way to allow anyone to download the folios from your website.
You might want to look into Fixed Layout EPUB for that.
