Adobe Connect Pod Functionality: Move it to a second monitor?

Has Adobe ever thought about adding the functionality to move a pod onto a second (dual) monitor while inside an Adobe Connect room? We currently use simulators in our courses and it would be nice if our students could detach the simulator pod from the main room and move it to their secondary monitor.
Thank you,
Luis Duran

Thanks LDuran, for raising the use case. I suggest you provide a formal request to the product team for their consideration. Please use this web form Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes to submit the feature request.
regards,

Why won't Adobe Acrobat or Reader for Mac maximize on second monitor?

Just what the question says. Running Mavericks, of course, and when I drag a Adobe Acrobat or Reader window to my second monitor and press the maximize button, it moves to the first monitor and maximizes there instead. No combination of modifier keys and maximize clicks will work either. The rest of my Adobe Creative Suite maximizes correctly on either monitor. What's with Acrobat?

I'm having the exact same issue... However, I do have the "Displays have separate spaces" option activated.
I can maximize a PDF on my larger primary monitor... But when I drag a PDF over to my smaller secondary screen and hit the maximize "+" button, it shoots the window back over to my other monitor.
Can someone help? This is driving me crazy. I also tried deactivating the "Displays have separate spaces" option to see if that worked... but that didn't.
Other apps work just fine. Chrome behaves exactly as I expect when hitting the maximize button.

How do you move Mail, Preview to second monitor?

This is probably a dumb question... I have a second monitor connected to my Macbook Pro. I can move Chrome and other programs to second monitor by dragging them there. I'm unable to drag Mail, Preview to the second monitor.....
What am I doing wrong?

Do you mean ---
To a second monitor, or to a third, "grade" monitor?
How "most" people are doing it... among the now 1.4 million licensees of FCP, I can't really comment. I don't think there are that many grade monitors in use, fewer users of even external monitors. For two-monitor setups, the use of a 2xDVI GPU is the way to go, but the video is NOT conditioned for broadcast display, at least up to this version, and not likely to change until Snow Leopard, when the 1.8/2.2 issue is rumoured to be addressed.
The preferred method that was envisioned by the engineering team was to use an AJA or Blackmagic AV-SDI interface, so that all the up/down/cross gamma and colourspace and framerate and resolution issues could be taken care of by somebody else.
There is a landslide of opposition to this because "proper monitors and video interfaces are too expensive". So "many" people gaff-tape and Rube-Goldberg "less expensive" solutions using computer graphics displays. They run into a lot of problems, not restricted to, for examples, an inappropriate contrast ratio, non-standard spectral response, and incompatible third-party color profiling which completely garbles the output.
It is an extremely complex problem. At the moment only SDI is supported, FireWire will likely never happen as it doesn't have the bandwidth to be useful.

How do I connect my mac book pro to a second monitor

I have a macbook pro and want to connect it to a 2nd monitor. How can I do that?

If your MB has a female DVI connector built in, and your monitor has a male dvi plug, you connect the monitor and turn it on.
DVI male connector:
If the MBP does not have a dvi connector, what it has is called a mini dvi. You need an adapter. This is available from the Apple store.
If you are not sure what you have, tell us the Model Identifier for your MBP.
(Apple menu / About This Mac / More Info / Hardware overview includes that info.

What do i need to connect my 30" cinema display as a second monitor to my new 27" imac?

I recently purchased a new iMac and want to run my 30" cinema display as a second monitor. My local mac experts told me to use a mini display to dvi adaptor, but that didn't work for any of my cinema displays - the 30" that i want to use and a 21" that I have. I called the guys back up and after a little research, he told me to get a mini display port to dual link dvi adapter. This costs $99, so I want to be sure it's going to work.
Does anyone know if this will work, or if there is a better idea, or ****, does the new iMac even except a 2nd monitor.
Thanks. Looking forward to your input.

Well I may have heard wrong, but I do not believe that you can hook that 6 year old monitor to the latest 27" iMacs with ThunderBolt. I would do more research before putting out the bucks, or make sure that you can return it if it does not work.
But do let us know if you try it and it works.

Can't get Adobe Connect to track scores

OK - I'm about at my wit's end. I am running Cp 8.0.145 (I know, .245 is current, but my IT guys need to vet it before I get it) on a Win7 desktop and trying to publish a .zip file to an Adobe Connect system functioning as an LMS. I do not have full admin rights to the Connect instance. I have tried publishing the Captivate projects using the "Adobe Connect" setting (with and without "Publish Adobe Connect metadata" box selected), as an AICC compliant zip file, and as a SCORM 2004 v4 package, and as a SCORM 2004 v4 package in a wrapper provided by Adobe. In each and every case, the system does not register any value for the test questions included (shows a test value of 0/0) and will not register completion of the course on passing the test.
Is this an issue with my settings in Captivate when I publish, or something I need to address with the LMS admin for Connect?
Justenuf

A bit old...
I don't think Connect does SCORM, so take that out of the mix.
It might do AICC, so that may be worth trying.
But overall, of course, you want to use the Adobe Connect setting...and I'm certain you want to include the Connect metadata.
If it's not reporting then you should ask the Connect Admin to look at logs/reports and see if he can find any reason why. Setup a time to test and run through the piece, so he knows what date/time to look for...
Hopefully he has access to Connect logs that will show whatever the errors may be.
Seen these?

Adobe Connect Desktop App

Hi,
This is probably a simple fix for someone in Adobe. I'm trying to download the latest Adobe Connect Desktop Application for Windows.
The download link keeps going to connectusers.com which is down for reasons known.
Is there another link to download from?
Thanks

Just sharing a quick search tip to help in the future.
I just ran this search query https://www.google.com/search?q=adobe+connect+desktop and the description of the second search result is "Adobe Connect Desktop. This AIR-based application helps meeting hosts quickly manage and edit their meetings from their desktop. Hosts can also access ..."
In case you get stuck while searching, you can always use the search keyword 'site' (read here) to narrow down your search to adobe.com like this.

How open Adobe Reader 9 in second monitor by default?

How can I make Adobe Reader 9.0 open always in my second monitor?
With version 8 it was at least possible to open the first document on the second monitor if I had moved the window in an previous session to that monitor and closed it there. The second and following documents always were opened in the first monitor (annoying!).
What I want is, that ALL documents always open in the second monitor. How can I manage this?

I am also having this issue.
First PDF opens on second monitor. Second one I open will open on main laptop monitor and 3,4,5 etc the same.
Would like it to default full screen on second monitor for all PDF's.

Web Link function on Adobe Connect

I am using the web link function on the adobe connect. When I share the link and click browse to the link opens on my page but not on the students. They can copy and paste the link into a browser but I am wondering if there is a way to have the link open on there screen instead of having them copy and paste.
Help!
Vanessa

When using the web links pod in Connect, if a Host or Presenter uses the Browse To function, it should force everyone in the room to have that URL open in their web browser. However, Pop-up blockers can prevent this from happening. If a Participant in the meeting uses the Browse To function, then it should only launch the link in that individual's browser.
I don't see any options in Connect to change that functionality, so I would suspect that something on your students' computers is preventing the link from opening.
Are your students able to open hyperlinks in the chat pod, or in a object in the Share pod (PPT or PDF with hyperlinks in it)?

Adobe Connect: how to display a picture in the WebCam pod when not sharing video

Adobe Connect: how to display a picture in the WebCam pod when not sharing video

The WebCam pod can pause a live video showing a static image. However, I believe that you are looking to use a Share pod, where you can upload a JPG or PNG image. Just place the share pod with the image where you would have the Camera pod.

Flash Movie Presentations in Adobe Connect

We have been working with one of our customers on delivering
an on line sales tool using the Adobe Connect environment. They for
the usual legal reasons wished to use a sales aid they had already
created. This was a flash based CD-rom with various flash movies
initiated by rollovers and buttons.
But there was two problems:
1. The index would not work i.e. the menu page appeared but
the subsequent movies and animations could not be found
2. The click throughs and rollovers would not synchronizes,
i.e. if the presenter moved forward through the presentation the
participants did not.
Both of these obviously make it useless.
After over three weeks of R&D we (David Kwaw , Steve
Grovenor and J ) have developed a bespoke piece of programing,
based on Sync SWF
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobatconnect/articles/basic_syncswf_pt1.html
That solves this issue, we have since refined the coding so
that ONLY the presenter has control of the flash presentation,
making it more like Adobe Presenter just ALOT more flexible and
better looking.
If you would like to know more... just drop us a line.

Everything except for the alpha transparency video is easily doable in Edge.
Rather then trying to shoehorn html5 video with an alpha transparency into Edge (not sure if this is doable), you could potentially use a png sequence or spriteSheet to play back those animations. Though the file size will be very large, and Edge does not have native implementation for png sequences or spriteSheet playback. yet.
John Dunning built a plugin for Fireworks to export a spritesheet as an Edge symbol:

Move Adobe Connect 7.5 to new server hardware

What is the process for moving Adobe Connect to new server hardware. We are currently running Adobe Connect Pro 7.5 (7.5.1.0.100) on a Win2K3 SP2 server. We would like to move Connect over to new server hardware running Win2K8 R2 (64-bit). The Connect database will remain on a separate Win2K3 SP2 / SQL 2005 sp4 server.
Unless it will pose a problem, the NETBIOS computer name will be different. However, the IP address and FQDN will remain the same.
What is the recommended procedure for doing this?
PS - Shortly after moving to new hardware, we plan to upgrade to Connect 8. Is it better to upgrade first, then move to new hardware? Or vice-versa?

Hi,
moving to new hardware is basically a new install on the new server, then moving over backed up content, then reconnecting to the database.
It makes no difference if you upgrade first and then move hardware or move first and then upgrade. I'd move first and make sure Connect works fine on the new hardware, then upgrade.
Here are some steps that should work.
1. make sure your new hardware, OS and SQL Server are supported
     http://help.adobe.com/en_US/connect/8.0/installconfigure/connect_8_install.pdf
    (for 7.5 check the requirements here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnectpro/systemreqs/#proserver )
2. Take a backup of your current content directory and all customised config files.
    (the config files will be a reference to restore SSL or other modifications, do not just move them back in once upgraded).
3. Take a backup of your database and make sure you know the login and password to your SQL server.
4. Stop the services on the old server
5. If also moving DB, attach your DB backup to the new SQL host.
6. Install Connect on the new hardware.
7. Do not start the services yet, first restore the backed up content.
8. start the services, bring up the console and connect to the DB.
9. check your settings in the console, a restart might be required first.
10. Does the login page load?
11. Follow the install guide from step 1 to re-apply SSL config if required (in Connect 8 this is done slightly different than in C7)
Changing the windows machine name, can cause trouble, not always, but it's easiest to just re-use the name on the new hardware.
If that's not an option, an entry in the conenct DB needs to be updated:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407446.html
I am fairly certain these steps will work, but cannot test this and I do not know your exact environment, so I can give no guarantee this will work. It is always good to just test the move to new hardware and if things go wrong, bring the old system back into production and contact support.
Good luck!

Adobe Connect 9 Meeting Recording Playback & Audio

Hello All,
I have noticed a strange issue with my meeting recording playbacks.
First Adobe Connect 9.0.2
Windows 7 Platform
I have noticed that after the recording is over, and I run playback to confirm we got what we need...the connected telephone feed (pgi/centurylink) does not come through on first press of play.
The video stream (slides, screen share) will run properly, but there is no sound upon first press of play. If I click the scrubber and drag it back to the open, then the audio will start to play.
I am ok with this work around...however my learners/audience will not be. I am looking for "Press Play and Listen" functionality to keep it simple.
A curious note (these are often good clues, so I figured I would share) The MP3 player pod which is running in the lobby prior to the start of the speaker, is PC sound and it plays back in the recording with no issue. It is only when the telephone feed starts (layout change, and speaker introduction) that the issue begins.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

As I understand it, it is on the road map for Adobe. Though I've not heard anything other than rumors, so more information would be hard to provide.
I don't know of any third party extensions, other than using something like Camtasia or another screen capture tool.

Adobe connect 9.3 pdf & ppt recording problem

i have adobe connect 9.3 and 9.1.2 on premise
i installed in my own server
my problem is the ppt and pdf in share pod does not show in the recording .
any thing show well in recording but when i share pdf or ppt in the share pod it does not appear in the recording and share pod remain blank in recording
what is the issue ?
thank you

That suggestion makes sense and likely works, but only if the user is on a machine that will allow them to use Reader. I'm sending this out to a lot of teachers, who are using machines either at school, or are school-issued machines, and they don't have the admin privileges to install software-- even Reader.
so my problem is, if they are stuck on a machine without Reader, and without the possibility of having Reader... it's just not going to work because Preview can't handle these functions.
And, since that is not an acceptable answer with what I'm trying to do... I will find another way to create/submit forms. I think there are some online possibilities I will have to make work.
very, very disappointing and frustrating.

How do I export a Keynote 09 presentation to work with Adobe Connect??

Hi - I have imported the .MOV file from keynote into Flash and then exported it as a .FLV file but the problem is that all of my 'on click' build requests have disappeared so it just plays as one continuous movie. Can anyone help me please? It seems that a .MOV file (which works perfectly with the 'on click' features) cannot be played with Adobe Connect. I really need the presentation to play with all of the 'on click' settings in place. PLEASE HELP!!! :o)

Adobe Connect does not support Apple Keynote as a file format. Adobe Connect supports Microsoft Powerpoint format. When you use the Share Document Pod and upload a Powerpoint presentation that file gets converted on the fly to Adobe Flash format and then is streamed to attendees in the room. If you want to use Apple Keynote with Adobe Connect then you should use Share My Screen and use screen sharing to share exactly what you want without converting it into Flash. Adobe Connect does not support .MOV or Apple Quicktime formatted files today (release 8 and previous versions).
