Adobe Captivate not publishing results

Hi,
We appear to be having a problem with Captivate where it's not publishing results to a network drive.
We have applied the fix as details below:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
3rd tab along, click 'Always Allow'
Add
T:\
\\my-network-path\tdrive\
I have tried this however its not publishing results.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this would not be working?
Thanks

The Flash Global Security settings govern whether or not content on a LAN or remote drive will play properly for the user that adds this location to their trusted settings. However, it doesn't necessarily give you PERMISSION TO UPLOAD published content to that location.
If you're having difficulty getting Captivate content published TO the location (as opposed to playing it from there) then you need to investigate whether or not you have write permissions for that folder. This is network administration thing, not usually connected to Flash security. It could also be that there is some restriction built into your IT network that will only allow certain filetypes to be uploaded.
Bottom line is that you may need to check with your IT dudes.

Adobe captivate video publisher upload button does nothing

Hi, on 2 different machines, the adobe captivate video publisher upload button does nothing. Add to that support says it's not available when I called in on a trial product. Hmmm if you won't help BEFORE I buy, what will happen after? c'mon... i've purches thousands of dollars worth of adobe software and currently own the creative cloud ...and I get the brushoff like that? Oh and the chat system wasn't working becuase the queue was too full....

lol. Great day. Just not for Adobe! . Worked fine on my older imac 27", but not my 2 new machines at work... macbook air and pc with a lowly 24gb ram... go figure.

Captivate not publishing mpeg-4 video's or uploading to youtube

Hi,
Got a really annoying problem with Captivate 5.5, it's the trial version and until this I was intending to buy the product. But I've just spent a day producing a video with it, the project comes to 1.8Gb so it's not small.
Anyway, it all works fine, until I click on File > Publish > Select MP4 Video(*.mp4) > Select the Apple iPhone 4/ Apple iPod Preset and click on Publish.
The software launches does it's pop-up dialoge thing and Adobe Captivate Video Publisher appears with a second progress box saying "Generating Video..." the progress bar sat at 0% while I went away and watched a 2 hour movie. All it says under the progress bar is "Initializing..." and it does bugger all else. I've rebooted the PC, and tried several times with absolutely no sucess.
The project exports as a SWF and EXE file just fine. But the process balls up when exporting a .MP4 file. I've even tried different formats. But as far as I can tell the sodding thing isn't even starting the encode.
The software is running in administrator mode, and exporting to a file location that isn't protected by UAC so there's no reason for it I've even disabled my virus software just in case that was lagging the system down. But nothing I do seems to make the damndest bit of difference.
Can someone offer any advice. I'm not spending hundreds of pounds on software that can't even export to MP4, not when Camtasia does it just fine.
(System spec, Windows 64, 4Gb RAM, 3.0 Dual core, nVidia 8800GTS 320Mb)

No it's not dragging it's feet. I can deal with dragging feet. If I had to leave my system rendering for a day, so be it. I spend more time then that rendering CGI graphics. It's not "dragging it's feet" it's not even getting up out of the sofa. It can't be arsed. Error reporting? Not for Adobe! None of that peasky information for users from them! No, lets just leave them sitting there waiting while it "initializes" that's real helpful. Sitting there with a 0% bar. No helpful information like "whow dude your project is MASSIVE, this will take a while." no handy progress bar showing how the initialization is going. No no, none of that for Adobe. That would be too helpful. Obviously they're going to charge you so much money for the single most unprofessional peace of tat I've ever had the misfortune to use.
P.S. I chopped up the project, into no more than 15 minute segments. It managed to render out the first 4, how it's doing exactly the damn same thing for section 5. Apparently 15 minutes of real world tutorial too much to expect as well.
P.S.S. It's hundreds of megabytes isn't a problem in this day and age. I can download a 500Mb file in what? Half an hour? Perhaps 2 for slower users. Hell I download games from Direct2Drive totalling 8.7Gb takes a coulpe of days, but there's no problem doing it. As for users without broadband, DVD's hold 4.7Gb, couple of those isn'g a problem. I've got other solutions that will stick 5 - 7 hours of HD interactive content onto a single DVD without a problem. The only real world bandwidth colleges really have to use is whatever it takes to report the examination statistic and answers at the end of the session. I don't think a PC is sold these days with less than 80Gb, and single issue network deployment solutions aren't a problem.
It's not like their streaming system is worth damn, if you're worried about users running off with your materials. There's no effective DRM solution built into captivate so nothing stopping users capturing the stream and re-hosting it. Not low bandwidth sales pitch they've got you on is totally insane. I can't see any way in which this product can justify it's price tag. I can only imagine there's educational material out there that's so bad it's making users wonder why they pay for the course in the first place.
Sod it, I'll program the thing in C++ that'll shave off a few gigabytes given the bloated shite Captivate generates. 1.8 is a sodding joke. I can encode 2.5 hour movies at just over 1.2gb in freaking 720p HD. This thing can't even manage 50 minutes of full motion content, and 40 minutes of still images with mpeg-3 compressed audio inserted into the slide. 1.8 Gb for 50 minutes FMV?

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.

Re: Navigation in adobe captivate not working?

    I am facing an issue with adobe captivate swf generation.......
    I have generated an swf presentation using Adobe Captivate 4.
    The generated swf looks as in the above image.
    I searched the in the internet, but couldnt find a proper solution
    The issue is that i have created a swf using adobe CP, with slides from a ppt file.
    All these slides contain audio files attached to it.....
    After publishing, it works well except when clicking on a slide in the Table of Contents
   ( slide number shown in left of above image),
    the   player cannot navigate to the selected slide.
    It was first thought of being an issue related to the buffering of the video.
    But later on came to know that, even after waiting for long, the slide doesnt get played.
    Same is the case when dragged on navigation bar(Shown in the bottom of the above image).
    The enable navigation option is set but still the problem persist....
     Pls help me if u can.....

Hi there
Perhaps thy this. Click Project > Table of Contents. Then click the Settings button in the lower left corner. Is there a check mark in the "Enable Navigation" check box?
If you see a check mark, clear it. Then dismiss the dialog. Then click the button again and click to place the check mark there. But if there is NOT a check mark, that's the issue. Navigation hasn't been enabled.
Cheers... Rick

Adobe Captivate Help | Publish projects as HTML5 files

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/publish-projects-html5-files.html

I opened a captivate project and published as HTML5. It worked in a browser on the desktop. then I tried it on an iPad. That also worked. Then I tried it on an iPhone. that worked, but the document was far too large for the iphone to display. I was curious as to whether or not the "scale html content" check box would make a difference for iphone, so I tried it. It did fix that problem, but, as expected, it broke the animations. Now when I try to publish to HTML5 it creates a sort-of hybrid, where the document is the correct dimensions in a browser on the desktop, but it is forced into smaller dimensions on the iPad, and no where do the animations work anymore, although the "scale html content" check box is unchecked. I used the Captivate cache clearing button in preferences and cleared my browser cache on the iPad, restarted the computer, etc. To no avail. It seems using the "scale html content" has permanently broken Captivate 7. I am now considering reinstalling it.

Adobe Captivate 'Not Responding' when properties tab is used.

Hi
Thought I'd share my revelation with you all in case anyone else is having the same problem.
I have just spent the past 2 days trying to figure out why Adobe Captivate 5.5 freezes whenever I try to use most of the options in the properties tab. I have a fairly robust system running windows 7 x64, incorporating a quad core processor, 8gb ram and 2 x 8gb graphics cards. I had tried everything including a complete re-instalation of all my Adobe software, only to discover that I have been a bit daft.
You see, eventually, I came to realise that it only froze when I was trying to adjust the properties of objects that had text in them. Upon checking my 'Fonts' folder I realised that I had over 4000 fonts installed. Initially I tried hiding all but the system fonts but this seemed to achieve nothing so I moved all of the non-system fonts to another folder and 'Hey Presto' Adobe Captivate now works like a dream.
Don't know why it froze when I tried to adjust any of the properties (not just the font) but it did. Now I just need to figure out how I am going to manage all of my fonts.

Hi there
You might consider trying a freeware application called Font Frenzy.

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.

Adobe captivate not reporting to quiz results analyzer

when posting results at the end of the captivate webinar it reads "unknown error." Help!

Hello,
Maybe too late but...
I'd the same problem when the quiz and the quiz results were on different servers. But since I moved the quiz results (with the .php files in the root) to the same server where the quiz is, everything is ok.

Adobe Captivate 6 - Publish withouth MP4 files?

I have problems in publishing projects which contain movies in the Video demo format.
When publishing in SWF format, MP4 files are generated for each Video Demo that I've inserted in the project. In this way I am not able to use the SWF file in "stand alone" mode, since the videos will not be displayed.
To avoid this problem I have to keep the MP4 files together with the SWF file, which is pretty annoying due to their size. Moreover this dosn't allow me to store the project on a SCORM plattform.
With the Version 5 I've never faced this problem. Can someone help me? I am publishing in the wrong way?
Otherwise would it be possible to open the project created with the version 6 in the version 5?
Many thanks for your support, Debora

Hi there,
Welcome to Adobe Community.
The feature of Video Demo that you are using was introduced in Captivate 6 and yes it creates the MP4 of the video demo. In earlier version the video demo used to be in a different way where it used to generate multiple slides and that option is still available in CP6. If you do not want an MP4 to get generated please choose the below option to create a demo:
Hope this helps!
Thanks!

Adobe Captivate 8 - Publishing an Invalid imsmanifest.xml file

For the past few weeks, my manager and I have been importing recorded WebEx files (converted to mp4 format) into Captivate 8, and publishing them in scorm 1.2 so that we can upload them to our learning portal.
Today, we have started receiving error messages that say the imsmanifest.xml file is not a valid scorm file.
When I open the imsmanifest file, this is what I get:
Some of the files publish just fine, others do not. The process is exactly the same. Any ideas?

Thank you -- I uploaded to Scorm Cloud, and here's the error message I received:
No special characters in the course name or path, unless you see something here that I don't...

Adobe Muse Not publishing site as designed - elements all over the place.

Hi - I've been working on a landing page for a site and although the design is exactly as I wish - when I publish the site various elements are thrown all over the page.
I've attached 2 screenshots illustrating this, and a URL. www.marchdental.ca/march-dental-welcome.html
Thank you for any help you can give me!
Rob

Hi David and Mr. Burro - many thanks for your replies - my apologies for not replying sooner!
In fact, David - you've nailed it. I had inadvertently pinned some elements to the footer and so they would drag downward in larger browser windows. My thanks to you for pointing this out!
Cheers!

Captivate Not Showing Results

I have created an interactive quiz using click boxes. I made
sure that the click boxes were included with the quiz. I asked that
the results be shown at the end of the quiz. I published the quiz,
but no results were shown at the end. Please advise as to how to
fix this problem. Thank you.

Which output option did you select for the quiz?

Adobe Captivate 6.0.1 published file is not containing images from the PPTX.

Has anyone had issues with Captivate not publishing images from the PPTx that show up in Captivate? What am I missing? I am running PowerPoint 2010 - and Captivate 6.0.1 and my published image results on some slides are poor quality, look dithered, and aren't retaining thier color or crispness. Some of the images from the PPTX aren't even coming across... here are two screenshots for example...
Unpublished view from within Captivate
Published view...

Hi Vish - I did not create the powerpoint or the image. I am not sure what image type it was but I recreated the white background as a PNG and it seems to have worked. I will forward my white background along to the creator for future projects. Thanks. It was definitely a problem with the image they put into the PPTX file.

Why Does Adobe Captivate 8 Web Object Not Get Published Correctly

Hi
I am trying to insert a YouTube video in Adobe Captivate and publish it. While it previews fine, when i publish it as an SWF, i see just a blank frame.
Can you help out here? Also, if I want to publish it as an PDF, will the video play there too?
Warm Regards
Akshay

Hi Akshay,
I am assuming the method you are using now is embedding Youtube videos into your Web object. My suggestion is it will be much easier if you use the Youtube Learning Interaction instead of a Web object to insert Youtube videos to your Captivate project.
This can be found in the Interactions Toolbar -> Learning Interactions -> Youtube
Also, as Sreekanth mentioned, please test it on a web server, or SCORM cloud.
Youtube interaction will work when exported to PDF as well.
Regards,
Mohana
