Can I add a button in Captivate 5 imported from PowerPoint?

I have imported a PowerPoint into Captivate and added a button.  When the user clicks the button, it is supposed to open a URL.  When I publish the movie,  nothing happens when I click the button.  I have tried this on a few different computers.  I also tried inserting a blank slide into Captivate and adding the button to that slide, and nothing happens.  I have verified that I can add a similar button to a Captivate presentation that is not comprised of PowerPoint slides.
Should I be able to do this?
Thanks.

I'm sorry I was not clear.
I imported a PowerPoint into Captivate.  The hyperlink that worked in PowerPoint does not work when I publish the new Captivate file.
I then add a button from Captivate's menus.  The action on the button is to go to a URL.
When I publish the Captivate file and click "yes" to view the output, I click on the button and nothing happens.
I hope this is clear.  Thanks for responding.

  • Can I add Action button on each page of my pdf document

    I have created  many power point slides with an action button on each slide that allows the user to click to display a video clip.   I would like to create a pdf document of this and replace each of my action button in ppt with an action button that works in Acrobat.
    I noticed that action buttons can be added to forms, but I want to be able to add an Action Button on each of my ppt slides to start playing a video clip (each slide will have a different video).
    I would like to do this using any coding method (i.e. Javascript, VBA, C , etc).   I think acrobat uses Javascript.
    The reason, is that I want to display my power point slides on an IPad and they don't support hyperlink in power point.   I believe IPad does suppport the full acrobat capabilities.
    Can this be done ??  
    Any suggestions where to start ??
    Thank You,
    G

    NO problem creating the buttons and then playing this back in Acrobat. Works great.
    However, unfortunately, none of the PDF viewers for the iPad support playing movies.   So playing it there won't work :(.

  • Can not add a picture to the JFrame from an ActionListener class

    As topic says, I can not add a picture to the JFrame from an ActionListener class which is a class inside the JFrame class.
    I have a Map.java class where I load an image with ImageIcon chosen with JFileChooser.
    I my window class (main class), I have following:
    class OpenImage_Listener implements ActionListener
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
              int ans = open.showOpenDialog(MainProgram.this);     // "open" is the JFileChooser reference
              if(ans == open.APPROVE_OPTION)
                   File file = open.getSelectedFile();                    
                   MainProgram.this.add(new Map(file.getName()), BorderLayout.CENTER);     // this line does not work - it does not add the choosen picture on the window,
                            //but if I add the picture outside this listener class and inside the MainProgram constructor, the picture apperas, but then I cannot use the JFileChooser.
                            showMessageDialog(MainProgram.this, fil.getName() ,"It works", INFORMATION_MESSAGE);  // this popup works, and thereby the ActionListener also works.
    }So why can�t I add a picture to the window from the above listener class?

    The SSCCE:
    Ok, I think I solved it with the picture, but now I cannot add new components after adding the picture.
    Look at the comment in the actionlistener class:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class Test extends JFrame{
         JButton b = new JButton("Open");
         JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
         Picture pane;
         Test(){
              super("Main Program");
              setLayout(new BorderLayout());
              JPanel north = new JPanel();
              add(north, BorderLayout.NORTH);
              north.add(b);
              b.addActionListener(new Listener());
              setVisible(true);
              setSize(500,500);
              pane = new Picture("");
              add(pane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
         class Listener implements ActionListener {
              public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
                   int ans = jfc.showOpenDialog(Test.this);
                   if(ans == jfc.APPROVE_OPTION)
                        File file = jfc.getSelectedFile();
                        Test.this.add(new Picture(file.getName()), BorderLayout.CENTER);
                        pane.add(new JButton("NEW BUTTON")); // Why does this button not appear on the window???
                        pane.repaint();
                        pane.revalidate();
         public static void main(String[] args)
              Test t = new Test();
    class Picture extends JPanel
         Image pic;
         String filename;
         Picture(String filename)
              setLayout(null);
              this.filename = filename;
              pic = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(filename);
            protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
                super.paintComponent(g);
                g.drawImage(pic,0,0,getWidth(),getHeight(),this);
                revalidate();
    }

    Having the app is irrelevant.
    The ONLY thing that matters is whether "Find My iPhone" was enabled on the missing device before it was lost/stolen.  If it was not enabled, there is nothing that can be done.

  • Slides imported from PowerPoint have resolution degradation

    Any idea why slides I import from a PowerPoint file to
    Captivate 3 look fuzzy? Whether I have simple text or use SmartArt
    or especially graphics in my PowerPoint slides, the imported slides
    are no where near as sharp as the slides I create within Captivate.
    The "slide movies" I create while recording in Captivate are razor
    sharp, but everything I import from Powerpoint does not look sharp
    - some is barely passable, some is OK, some is pretty crappy -
    depending on the font sizes.
    My boss wants to create a training session based on some
    PowerPoint slides which contain a few graphics but mostly bulletted
    lists, and then intersperse that with some recorded screens to show
    movements of cursors and which buttons are clicked in the
    application, etc.
    I've got a nice presentation put together, about 100 slides
    total (which is a bit large, I understand) but can't figure out why
    the PowerPoint slides are generally "fuzzy". I've tried importing
    as a background image versus animation (no animation in the slides)
    to no avail.
    Thanks for your time...
    Charlie

    Welcome to our community, Charlie
    PowerPoint is intended to be played at full screen. When you
    import it into Captivate, you are forcing it into a smaller size.
    Hence a bit of "fuzziness" or distortion. There are different
    things you might wish to try.
    * Configure PowerPoint to play in a window. Then use
    Captivate to record the PowerPoint as it plays. That would result
    in crystal clear recording.
    * Kevin Siegel talks in one of his blog posts about
    configuring the PowerPoint dimensions so they better translate. You

  • Importing from powerpoint...508 compliance issues

    Accessibility is important to my agency but importing from powerpoint results in slides a screen reader can't read and the image tags identified in the powerpoint don't show up in published projects.  Subject matter experts create the content, I put them in captivate 5.5 to add features and make them play with my LMS (SCORM).  Adobe says published SCORM projects are 508 compliant but I can't seem to get them to actually BE compliant.  Any ideas?  I don't see anything in any of the tutorials or available documentation or from iconlogic.

    Hi newcd,
    I just read the VPat for SQL Server 2008 R2. I do not see where there are accessibility issues for the PDF format. Can you please explain?

  • Text Quality when Importing from PowerPoint

    We're having to do a certain amount of importing from PowerPoint for productivity reasons.  Some slides show good imported text and some slides show really scraggy text.  I can't find any pattern behind this behaviour and have tried lots of different settings to try to get to the bottom of the issue.
    Has anybody else encountered this?  More's the point, has anybody else encountered it and managed to find out how to get consistently good text?

    We're using Captivate 7.  The powerpoint files are .pptx, either 2007 or 2010.
    Standard Arial system font.
    I don't know how the SMEs are creating the PowerPoint content, but I've tried it using both Powerpoint placeholders in the standard Office theme, and using inserted text boxes, and they all import and view just fine.  There doesn't seem to be any pattern to when the text goes scraggy.

  • CP8: import from powerpoint - retain individual objects on slide

    I did an import from PowerPoint and chose high fidelity, but it's still just importing the slide as one object, so I can't manipulate any of the objects on the screen. I thought each shape would import as a smart shape that I could manipulate individually. Is there a way to make this happen?

    Indeed, nothing has changed about import, you will not have individual objects. High Fidelity means that animations etc will play more accurately. Captivate is not a PPT-plug in as a lot of users seem to think. There are real plug-ins around if you think a PPT can make a good eLearning course (you feel I'm not convinced that a presentation tool is an eLearning tool, sorry for that).

  • How can I add a button to add multiple image in PDF from using adobe acrobat pro?

    I have to create a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
    In this form I want to add a button where I can add multiple images to the field.
    I have tried using javascript event.target.buttonImportIcon(); and successfully add an image, but when I want to add the 2nd image it automatically overwrites the previous one.
    Is there any way to solve this issue? I would like to have a form where I can add a lot of images in it. It is possible in word, but we really have to use adobe.
    Thanks

    Hi thanks for your answer.
    I can add multiple button, but if there are 10 images that I wan to add, then I have to create 10 buttons.
    Moreover, the pictures will be placed on top of each other and it means that you cannot see it clearly.
