Artefacts appearing on Practice slides when publishing to PDF

HI All,
I have created a 91 slide Captivate Six presentation for an online course. My version of Captivate SIx is 240.
My issue is when I publish to a PDF artefacts appear only on the Practice recorded slides. All other slides in the presentation when converted to PDF are blemish free. When I published to PDF i used Flash Player Version 9 setting.
Please help. Would welcome an answer regarding this issue please.
Regards,
Mel

By 'blemishes' I'm assuming you mean ghost lines in your output?
If so, the usualy fixes are to increase slide quality to High 24bit or Optimized, and to disable all compression options under Preferences > Project > SWF Size and Quality. Once you can successfully publish without artifacts, try turning on the compression options one by one to see if you can isolate the one responsible. The Advanced Project Compression seems to be the main culprit.

Planned orders appears in RRP3 but when published doesn't appear in ECC?

Planned orders appears in RRP3 but when published doesn't appear in ECC ?
Help me with CIF procedures to bring it to ECC. (without using C5) because i need to convert to production order.?
Thanks

Hello Rahul,
Please check the publication setting for location in-house production in /SAPAPO/CP1.
Check active integration model in CMF5, if missing create the integration model by CFM1 and CFM2.
Also you can run the delta report /SAPAPO/CCR or post processing report /SAPAPO/CPP1 for planned order to transfer.
Also check the CIF application log SLG1.

Using Adobe Presenter 7 when published to PDF video files do not play just a blank page, any ideas?

Using Adobe Presenter 7 when published to PDF video files do not just a blank page, any ideas? I am using office 2010 and Adobe Acrobat 9 on my PC any suggestions would be very helpful as the audio and slides work fine though no SWF files work just a blank white screen
Thanks

The problem seems to be with Acrobat 9. Can you share any such pdf generated from presenter at [email protected]
Alternatively, you can try to download Adobe Reader 10 http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=JZEFU and try to view the published output usingthe same.

Cap 6: Issue when publish to PDF. The exit button on the skin does not seem to work.

All,
I attemped same using Cap 6: Issue when publish to PDF. The exit button on the skin does not seem to work. I switched out skins and same issue. I am using IE8.
When published as swf, exit button on skin works fine. Any ideas on solve for the PDF version exit button? We would rather publish as PDF since all files are contained in the PDF wrapper.

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
This issue is reproducble at my end, need to do some more testing before I can tell you any solution or action plan for this issue
Thank you for your patience.

Audio not working on one slide when publishing to HTML5

I'm in Captivate 8. In one slide in my project no slide audio will play when published to html5. I've tested in Chrome and IE 11. In Chrome, I see the 'speaker' icon that appears when audio or video is running but no sound comes up. (The speaker appears for the length of the audio file ~5 sec) All other slides are fine, and the slide audio plays correctly if I use F3 or F10 to preview the slide inside Captivate.
The slide in question is a 'menu' only reached via an advanced action. I know the advanced action is not the culprit - if I change it to jump to a different slide, the audio on that slide plays without problem.
Similarly, I've verified that if I place this audio file on a different slide, it plays fine, but if I add a different audio file to this slide the problem remains. If I create a button on the problem slide to trigger the audio it plays, (but is unhelpful since I want the audio to play automatically when the user enters the slide).
I've tried removing/re-adding the audio, recreating the slide from a copy, setting the audio to play via an "on enter" advanced action, and adding a play trigger to the advanced action that jumps to this slide. Nothing I've tried gets the audio to play.
I'd welcome any suggestions of what might be happening or how to fix this.
Thank you,
Jenny Nilsson

Hi Lieve,
Thank you, yes, if I view using f12 the audio works correctly.
The "exitBranch" action is associated with a continue button at the end of each branch. If all branches have been visited, it jumps to a new slide, if there are unvisited branches, it jumps back to the menu slide where the audio is not working. (If I edit the action to jump somewhere else the audio will work for the different slide.)
The action was created from a shared action and my colleague and I have used it in multiple other modules without this error.
Thanks,
Jenny N

Shortcut keys NOT working when publish to PDF full screen

We have a series of modules that are published to pdf and the animations run inside the pdf file. We use the Tab shortcut key quite a bit as it simulates the natural progression between form items.
This works fine when viewing the pdf in standard mode. But when you right click on the PDF and go full screen, the Tab key fails to work. It wants to place emphasis on the playback controller.
Has anyone experienced this issue, and do you know the workaround?

If the PDF's page content is not renderable text (e.g., the scanned image/picuture of characters or outlined fonts (which are graphics (a "picuture")) then there is nothing for the Highlight Comment tool to work with.
So - two trials.
Acrobat's Preferences set to permit "U" to make use of the Underline tool.
Each trial done in Full screen.
#1 = a PDF with scanned stuff. Press "U". Tool is available but unable to highlight anything.
#2 = a PDF with renderable stuff. Press "U". Tool is available & can place highlight over selected characters.
Be well...

508 Compliance when published as PDF

When publishing my powerpoint source file with synched animations, narrations and tagged images as a PDF, the image tags do not 'carry over' to the final published PDF.
Tips and tricks?
Tony

Connection to a SCORM-compliant LMS requires JavaScript. In a normal HTM/SWF/JS SCORM output from Captivate the JavaScript required to interact with the LMS is contained within the HTM template file that Captivate selects for the publish. In your PDF this JavaScript code is missing. So your project won't be able to "talk" to your LMS.

How to Change Label Size When Publishing a PDF

We are attempting to print barcode labels from XML Publisher.
This question is not about fonts but rather label size.
In our Word template, we selected a label size under Page Setup.
But we have an odd requirement to publish that document as a PDF for remote printing. When we currently publish to PDF, it only treats the page size as Letter. It's ignoring the selected page size from the Word template.
Does anyone know how to get XML Publisher force the PDF-published document treat the page size as a Word label size (or custom size)?
Note: We are on XML Publisher 5.5 on a Red Hat Linux server.

Hi Tim,
Need help. We need to print labels (width 6 inches, height 4 inches). Earlier we used to use optio and for labels we had a thermal printer which would print the labels in the exact size required.
But now, we want to replace Optio and roll out to XML Publisher for labels. I have no idea how to go about this. Can you please help.
Thanks

When publishing to PDF, only the first page is published.

Have not been able to find the setting to allow all the pages to be published. In Word or WordPerfect, when I publish to pdf it only publishes the first page.
Thanks in advance.

Acrobat, absolutely, does not control Corel WP publish to PDF.
Nor does it control the MS Office 2007 Save As to PDF-XPS process.
Corel's WP "publish" to PDF does not involve any Adobe / Acrobat related processes.
Until recent releases, WP used an 'in house' routine to create PDFs.
Not that long ago Corel hooked up with Nuance to provide an improved "publish to PDF" feature.
With regards to Corel's WP file format; it is good to know that neither older WP versions nor the current version is an Adobe PDFMaker "supported" format .
I suspect that this is due to Corel having made the business decision to go their own way with providing a PDF output process.
Best bet for obtaining WP file to PDF information is at Corel's WP user forums which have knowledgeable and helpful participants.
As to Word - again, the MS Office Save As to PDF-XPS method is totally a MS process.
No Acrobat involvement.
What may be the source of the issue you have is a possible conflict between the Nuance stuff and the Acrobat stuff.
It is not uncommon to encounter conflicts when multiple PDF creation processes are installed.
Regardless, the issue you have is not an Acrobat exclusive one.
Be well...

View output button disabled when publishing to pdf

I am using Captivate 4 and must publish all my Captivate files to pdf for distribution throughout my organisation. I have two issues:
1) After publishing to pdf, the View Output button is disabled, and I get the message you must have Adobe Reader 9 or better installed to view
I have Adobe Reader XI installed
I am able to open the pdf from my desktop
I saw elsewhere to try unticking the Zip files output option. Zip files and all other output options are unticked
I have tried publishing using Flash Player 7 (the earliest version available in the Flash Player Version menu) with same result
So the question is, is there some setting I am missing to enable the view output button, or another solution?
2) This wouldn't really be a problem, except some users with Adobe 9 installed are reporting they cannot open the pdfs from their desktop. I thought I would try publishing so that output is compatible with earlier versions of Adobe Reader but can't figure out how to do that.
So, is there some way to publish to be compatible with Adobe Reader 8 or earlier? Also, many users are accessing videos through a terminal server - could that be the problem?
Thanks very much in advance

You aren't printing the PDF. You're printing the spool because the user ID has the print immediately field selected and the GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS picks up that setting. You simply need to blank out the value of TDIMMED in your l_print_parameters

Some events appear at wrong time when publishing to web

When I publish my calendar and then view it on the web, events I have created myself in iCal are shown at the correct time, but any events I have recieved from Evolution (the email/calendar application my colleagues use) as an .ics file are shown exactly 8 hours later than they should be. Perhaps it's a coincidence that this is the exact time difference between the UK (where I live and work) and West Coast USA?
Just to make it clear: all events appear correctly in iCal and, if I send a subscribe email to myself and then subscribe to the published calendar, they also appear correctly in iCal. The only place where they appear at the wrong times is in the http://ical.mac.com/<username>/<calendarname> address, and it's only events that I have recieved via email.
Is there a workaround for this that doesn't involve asking my colleagues to change settings on their Ubuntu workstations? Perhaps it's a problem with Apple's ical website that they need to fix? Either way, it makes the business of publishing my calendars largely useless.

Bernard Harte wrote:
It's likely that the problem is due to an incompatibility between the way that the two systems define time zones.
This is what I thought, but iCal itself seems to cope with this, whereas the .Mac iCal web server doesn't, which is a shame.
I suspect that you don't have time zone support switched on in the Advanced tab of Preferences. If you don't, try switching it on and then looking at one of your events and one of the rogue ones in the edit window. You'll probably see a difference in time zones - i.e. that the rogue ones are in US Pacific zone.
I switched on time zone support, but it didn't change any of the events in iCal at all; i.e., the "rogue" events still show at the correct time (and the incorrect time on the iCal web server).
If this guess is correct, you will need to get your colleagues to change their time zone since iCal and ical.mac.com are behaving as they should.
They are all on the same timezone as me - Europe/London (which is currently on DST).
If the guess isn't correct, report back and we'll work on a solution
Then I look forward to hearing from you!

C3 not creating SWFs for slides when publishing

Hi,
I just got Captivate 3 a few weeks ago. Published my first
project without a hitch.
On my second project, I cannot get the files to publish into
SWFs at all. It says it published them, and the SWF folders are
created, but they are empty.
I cannot figure out what is wrong and I've spoken to several
people already. Publishing to Flash 9, not zipping or anything. In
fact, I sent the Captivate files to two other people and they were
able to publish the same files just fine. I even did a walk-through
with a co-worker who wanted to make sure I wasn't missing
something.
So what is wrong on my end?
Thanks for any advice.

Hi John
Assuming you have tried the above without success, the last
ditch thing I can think of is to reset the Captivate Settings file.
Close Captivate
Open Windows Explorer and Navigate to the following folder
location:
Captivate 1: C:\Documents and Settings\????\Application
Data\Macromedia\Captivate
Captivate 2: C:\Documents and Settings\????\Application
Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
Captivate 3: C:\Documents and Settings\????\Application
Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
*NOTE: Replace ???? with your Windows user name. You also may
need to first coax Windows into allowing you to see this location.
If you don't see this location, from Windows Explorer, click
Tools > Folder Options... and click the View tab. Then choose
the option labeled Show hidden files and folders.
In this folder you should see a file named:
Captivate 1: captivate_v10.dat
Captivate 2: captivate_v20.dat
Captivate 3: captivate_v30.dat
Delete this file and restart Captivate.
When Captivate restarts and is unable to find the file, it
normally rebuilds a clean, daisy fresh one.
*NOTE: If you are hesitant to delete the file, try renaming
it instead. By renaming, Captivate will also be unable to see it.
Hopefully that will help... Rick

When publishing to PDF, the File Info keywords are not appearing in adobe bridge?

When I generate a PDF from Framemaker 9, the File Info can be seen when I open the PDF and look in Properties. However, if I look for the keywords using Adobe Bridge, they are not recognized. Is there something I have to do to make them visible in Adobe Bridge?

Hi @mcarnes,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your when you scan the .pdf files are too large in size. I am happy to look into this for you!
For further assistance, I will need some more information:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
The name of the program you are using to scan with.
Once I have this information, then I will be able to look into this further for you!
I will wait patiently for your response, and have a good day!

Special TEXT doesn't appear as it should when published

I used a spiffy font on my website, but after it's published, it doesn't show up on Mac or PC. It reverts to some arial-type font. I used to be able to keep the font by putting a shape over it and making it opaque, but I don't remember exactly how I did it - especially because I tried it again and it didn't work Can somebody please help?!!

I used to be able to keep the font
To turn a font into a graphic, you normally add an invisible amount of shadow to it.
Your special font cannot be seen on any machine where that font is not installed unless you convert your text into a graphic.

Captivate 4 video stops when publishing into pdf

I have created a video with Captivate 4 and have published it into a pdf file.
The video/audio then freezes and stops half way through, almost as if when it was moving onto a new slide.
I have tried publishing to html instead, and it works fine.
Any suggestions on how to get the pdf up and running?
Thanks!

Hi there
Not that it will actually help anything, but if you can supply me with one of the Camtasia AVI files, I'll be happy to test for you on my end. I do have Captivate 1, 2, 3 and 4 all on the same machine.
Also, I wasn't suggesting that Camtasia could automatically accomplish this. What I was suggesting was that you could open the video in Camtasia and use it as you would Captivate. You could split the video yourself. Pare away some, publish it as a smaller segment that you would drop into Captivate. Rinse and repeat as needed. Assuming, of course, that your goal is to get this into Captivate.
Cheers... Rick
