Captivate 4 Bookmark Issue

I have read through all the threads, but still cannot get bookmark to be enabled on my Captivate 4 modules.
I am publishing as swf in a zip and uploading to an LMS.
I have the "Never send resume date" NOT checked; I have the TOC on self-paced; I have the slide count variable on full project, but I still cannot get my videos to resume where they closed.
Does anyone have an answer, this is getting very frustrating.
Thank you,

Button Objects pause the slides they are on by their very

So here's how it works. Slide is playing and Button pauses it
waiting for the user to click. Assuming no changes to the Button
action, a click on the Button normally resumes play and eventually
the playhead traverses to the next slide.
As for webjester's post, I"m having trouble making sense of
it. I'm not sure if s/he is saying the next slide is being skipped
or not.
Cheers... Rick
I just realised my example involved an error. In the case
where I have a button set to open another file. If it can't find
the file, it pauses the slide and gives me the error to say it
can't find it. I ok the error message (twice usually) and my slide
sits there paused. I push the button again and it finishes the
slide without trying to open the URL again.
I thought maybe that a button will only do its attached
action once (and if the action doesn't take you off the slide or
change the position on the timeline), if you press the same button
a second time it will just unpause and continue???
webjester is trying to say... if the text field is empty, and
you press next, you get a message telling you to press skip
instead. If you then press next again, it shouldn't do anything.
(cos you should be pressing skip).
However, next is making the slide go to the next slide.
uh... I'm going back in my box now.

  • Captivate Bookmarking Issue - Returns to Wrong Slide!

    I have a Captivate course with over 270 slides divided into 7 sections. There are 3-4 quiz questions at the end of each section with a score page on the second last page.
    when through the course and exiting, bookmarking works until you get around half way through, at which point bookmarking returns me to a slide about halfway through the course. Ive made various version trying to rectify this, and at times it was a quiz slide, other times a standard slide. I tried moving all the quiz questions to the end of the course, and bookmarking would return me to a specific quiz slide each time. This bookmarking issue would appear when I existed the course after not completing it, or completing it and failing the quiz. Has anyone experienced this or got an idea what might be causing this?

    What version of SCORM are you publishing to?
    The bookmarking info is held in the suspend data, along with quiz info and all variables in the project. It could be that the suspend data has reached it's limit. Or it just can't handle that many slides.
    There are ways to manipulate the bookmarking in CP as I wrote in this blog:
    http://www.tlcmediadesign.com/blog/2015/01/controlling-captivate-bookmarking/
    This probably won't help your situation though. Depending on the SCORM version you can use the comments field to store info and use that to bookmark.
    With a project of that size and depending on the info you need to tract/save, it would be best to connect a non-Captivate SCORM driver and make a SCORM calls yourself..
    Or you can split the course into 7 separate SCO's to reduce the suspend data.

  • Captivate Bookmarking Issue

    We have developed a WBT using captivate 2.0. This WBT is
    published as SCORM 1.2 complaint. But while testing it on ADL Test
    Suit and on Sample RTE, we have observed that, the data was sent
    only on some slides. That is why, course is not bookmarking
    properly. We had also gone through the captivate slides, but there
    is no such difference in the slides where data is send and the
    rest. We want every slide should bookmark. Could you please guide
    us in resolving this issue?
    Thanks..

    I think in Captivate 2, the lesson sends the latest data on
    each and
    every screen. Why that would NOT happen, I don't know. If
    anyone there
    has any javascript experience, you can see all the JS
    functions in the
    parent HTML file. Perhaps you can add alerts in those
    scripts, if you
    can decipher them, and determine if data actually is or is
    not being
    sent on each page change.
    I don't know of any way to demand that the Captivate file
    send data at a
    given...

  • Converting to .PDF bookmark issue

    Bookmark issue:  I am writing this for another user.  I am not familiar with InDesign but have analyzed the issue.  Version of InDesign: CS3 v5.0 version of Acrobat: 8 v8.1.3 version of Page Maker: 7 v7.0.1  The user creates an InDesign document with several 'chapters' of content.  The structure of the document   looks like the following where an X represents an entire chapter and a B represents a subsection of the   chapter.  X1   B1   B2   B3 X2   B4   B5   B6 X3   B7   B8   B9  The user then creates bookmarks for each chapter and subsection.  The bookmarks have a parent/child   relationship between X and B, respectively.  The same structure seen above is the structure the bookmark   tree takes on.  When the user goes about creating the file as a PDF, an odd issue occurs.  All of the bookmarks work except   B2, B4, and B7.  B2, B4, and B7 point to B1 even though they pointed to the appropriate locations in   InDesign.  Obviously, the appropriate settings are toggled to pull the bookmarks across to Acrobat.  Something isn't   quite right, and I want to figure out where the issue lies.  Things to consider: The InDesign files were migrated over from Page Maker files.  Anybody have any clue.  Any further information needed? --

    I add bookmarks to my ID files on a daily basis and hardly ever found a fault with it. As far as I can tell, they appear exactly in the same tree hierarchy in the PDF as created in ID.
    ... The InDesign files were migrated over from Page Maker files. ...
    may be a clue. ID may leave some rubbish in its files, and that rarely (for me, at least) may lead to otherwise unexplainable errors. Perhaps the PM import was not as 'clean' as you'd hope. Try this: export the file to INX and re-load it (you should use the "Open.." command for this). Check if the bookmarks display correctly in their little panel; then try the exporting to PDF again.
    Are you sure about the sub-version number? 5.0 is an original, unpatched version, and a number of issues have been fixed -- I think the most up to date version would be 5.0.3 (don't quote me on that, check the updates!). It's not that I remember this issue from the updates, but you never know.

  • Captivate 7 - Bookmarking issues with Cornerstone LMS on IPAD

    Hello,
    I am looking for some assistance with Captivate 7 (currently using version 7.0.0.118) with the Cornerstone LMS and bookmarking when using an IPAD.  We have no issues with content launching, bookmarking, and sending completions on Windows based opeating systems, but on IPAD's, with the latest version of the IPAD OS and Safari, we have no issues with launching the content and it will send back a completion, but the content will not bookmark.
    Cornerstone is stating that the Safari browser on the iPad is not properly implementing the onbeforeunload trigger, which is primarily used in courses to force a save of the course data. This event is not triggered within the iPad version of Safari, preventing courses from saving themselves when the course is closed.  We currently have our customers closing the web browser in order to exit the course on the IPAD.  We are not experiencing this issue with the HTML5 courses that were exported with Captivate 6.
    Thank you,
    Karl

    Clare,
    If you want a continuous movie (since it is simply a demo) you can use the HD Video Demo. But editing and synchronizing will be much more a pain.
    Captivate's power is just in the creation of those static slides, but I would never record narration at the same time. I create the VO after having created the simulation, that is much easier just because the slides are static. I have been choosing Captivate just for that reason, but of course it is up to you. Want to have just demo: use HD Video Demo or choose Camtasia. But you'll never have the interactivity power that has Captivate. For trainees and students, interactive simulations are much more engaging, but that is your choice. And even a 200 slides movie has only 6000 frames, and will have a much smaller filesize than a video that explains the same.

  • Bookmark Issue in WAD (Report Output without Variable Screen)

    Hi ,
    This issue is with the Saving of Report Output to Bookmark.
    Expected Output:
    Clicking on the Bookmark should bring out the Report Output with the Period and Year, which was used while saving the Bookmark. It should not pop up variable screen at the beginning.
    Issue:
    Currently, when I click the bookmark, Its triggers the default template and it brings out the  Variable Screen with the default Selections, which i dont want to. I need to get the same output with the values which I saved under Bookmark.
    Please suggest me a solution...
    Thanks / Selvan

    Hi, i dont rememberm but, can you check mark you DP_1 and properties->Behavior->Display variables screen->on
    I hope helps.

  • Captivate crashing issue

    My Captivate projects crash while I am working on them, giving the error message 'Adobe Captivate has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience'.  I am then unable to make any further edits to the projects: anything that I try to do, for example add a caption or add a slide, causes Captivate to crash.
    We have tried a number of things to resolve the issue:
    All my Captivate files are stored locally, on my C drive (where Captivate is installed)
    The files that have been affected by this issue have been under 9MB and under 60 slides, well within Captivate's limits
    I do not use animation or audio in my files, I only use the captions, highlight boxes, buttons etc provided by Captivate.
    Tech Support at my office has provided me with a new 'barebones' computer which has only essential applications such as  Microsoft Office on it, to minimize any risk from applications not being compatible with Captivate
    In preparing the barebones computer, Tech Support completed the steps that Adobe Support provided in the Tech Note below:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb404171&sliceId=1
    We have reinstalled Captivate
    Has anyone encountered this issue or have any idea what it could be?  I wonder if any of the 2 things below might be an issue:
    1) I use dual monitors at work - so I capture my screenshots for Captivate on one monitor while Captivate is open in the other monitor.  Additionally, the monitor where I capture my screenshots is at a lower resolution (1024 X 768) than the monitor where Captivate is open, since my computer's standard screen resolution is too high for screenshots.  Could this be causing problems?
    2) I copy and paste slides, captions, buttons etc A LOT within and between different projects.  Although each of my projects is small, I have about 20 projects so far, 7 of them are affected by this issue.
    We have had this issue for a month now and not sure how to proceed, any insight would be greatly appreciated .
    Thanks,
    Fereshteh

    I use Captivate 3, and I use a dual screen. My resolution is the same on both screens however. I don't have any of the problems you are describing.
    I also copy and paste between projects alot, and have 2 instances of Captivate open to do this. Once again, no problem.
    Sorry I can't help, but you may want to let us know what version of Captivate, Windows, Flash Player you are using.
    Cheers,
    Kerry

  • Saving bookmarks issue

    Dear SAP Experts,
    We are facing a very peculiar issue. When we try to save a bookmark on the folder, it keeps on processing (wheel keeps spinning) forever after providing the bookmark name.
    While its doing this, if we click on the report again and then click on the bookmark open folder, we see this newly created bookmark.
    In a nutsheel, when we try to create a new bookmark, it keeps on processing until we break it and click on open bookmark button. This feature was working properly earlier without this behaviour. It's a custom WAD template where the BEx report is housed. There has been no recent browser upgrade or java stack upgrade.

    Update latest patches to your BEx GUI.

  • Bookmark issues

    I transfered my bookmarks to my new Macbook Pro and now I'm having issues with opening some-but not all- of the bookmark folders. I can get to the links if I go through "show all bookmarks" but when I try to use the drop down bar it won't show any of the links. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

    I too suffered from this issue where the bookmark bar would not show any. The way I fixed it, was by making the Bookmarks from scratch and so far that's the only effective way I know.
    Hope this helps!

  • Windows 7 32-bit / Captivate 4 issue

    Hi,
    I just installed Cap4 onto my new Windows 7 notebook. Cap4 starts oke when I run it but when opening a cap4 file it 'freezes'.
    The preview indicates the project is blank and has 0 slides. The document's path is displayed on the left bottom corner of the screen but nothing happens... I have this issue with all Captivate proejcts who normally run on Windows XP.
    I already tried to run the program as an Administrator and tried several compatibility settings.
    Who can help me?
    Cheers,

    Help with what?  The Win driver won't do anything for you as the iPhone itself does not support any bluetooth protocols that can be used with it.

  • Bookmark issues In Acrobat Pro!

    Hi everyone,
    Over the past month we have been having issues where a customer of our's when she is creating PDF files from Word, she isn't able to add bookmarks to certain paragraphs or link any of the document to Acrobat Pro X after the document is created from Word at all. She selects various bookmark styles that she wants to have in our output file of her PDF file to select certain things, but sometimes it will pick up bookmarks and work for some of the document, other times it  just wont wont work at all and just selects its on ones, without even telling it to do so. i.e like Test No, Heading 1, Heading 2 or Paragraph three. She will have problems where Heading 1 wont  won't appear in capitals from when it was showing as lower case letters in Word. Parts of the document, she wants it to not show certain paragrahs, it still chooses and back to what i was saying before it will just choose to bookmark all of the paragraph and a lot of the time it adds funny letters and numbers to a lot of the document aswell.
    It really has been driving us crazy!!!, we have tried numerous things, tried installing the software and then re-updating the program with the 1.4.1 update as it is Acrobat 10.0 she is using. We have even had tried selecting different Bookmarks on a fresh template from word and it still behaves in the same way. We have tried Resetting her profile and have now even came to the point of complete rebuild, re-installing  Windows 7,Office and Acrobat Pro and every other software on her account. If someone could give some advice or be able to offer a complete fix for this, it would really help put a end to this problem that has gone further than past the funny stage.

    Well I haven't found a fix, but I'm reasonably sure this issue has arisen because I combined pdf documents from two different sources - 1.  Open office calc on windows 7 and  2.  Pages on Mac OS X lion.  Not sure why, but that is the only difference.  Will post this as a separate issue, as in-document links are also effected by this distinction.  So not all pdf documents are created equally...   After spending an hour solving the green "signature detected where none exist" bar this morning, this latest fiasco has not left me too impressed with adobe.  But that's tech folks...

  • Convert from Word 2007 to Acrobat Pro 9; bookmark issue

    When converting from Word 2007 to PDF using Acrobat Pro 9, enabling "Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks", not only are Headings converted to bookmarks, but bulleted text (styles), as well.  I attached the subsequent PDF, but this forum does not permit the document attachment.  I really only want to show the Headings.  (It may be noteworthy to mention that when using this same set of styles in Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro7 the conversion was seamless.)
    Does anyone know how to correct this?  I have reviewed my Word styles and the issue does not appear to be on the document level.  Am I missing some obscure setting?
    I'd appreciate any help.
    Thanks.
    -PS

    I had a similar situation occur when converting Word 2007 docs to Acrobat Pro 9 Extended via the PDFMaker (Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007), and I want to share a workaround. In summary, I had extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF (heading 3s, body text, XE Index tags, etc.)  that I did not select to be in the PDF.  I contacted Adobe's support and ended up talking for approx. 2.5 hrs to 2 different reps with no solution. They reproduced the issue on their end, but couldn't figure out how to fix this. I recently upgraded to Tech Comm Suite 2.5 from 1.0. The Word 2007 conversion to PDF via Acrobat Pro 8.x worked fine.
    Scenario: I have 400-page user guides that I am required to publish as 'Press Quality' with navigable bookmarks to certain headings in the PDF. I have to generate the PDF via the Acrobat Add-On tab in Word, since I do not want to manually insert bookmarks in the PDF for 400 page documents (as you would when using the Adobe Print driver or 'Save As PDF' operation).
    In the Adobe PDF Maker dialog, I have the following Application Settings selected in the General tab:
    Create Bookmarks
    Add Links
    In the Bookmarks tab,  I originally had only two Elements selected for bookmarks:
    Heading 1 (a Word Heading already present) as the Level 1 Bookmark.
    Table of Contents Bookmark (a Word Style I created) as the Level 2 Bookmark.
    As a result, the Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks were both enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
    The resulting PDF contained extraneous bookmarks that I did NOT select, such as Heading 2s, 3s, even body text - too much to clean up for 400-page documents! Additionally, and this was annoying too - I noticed that all bookmarks appeared as Level 1 Bookmarks, making the PDF Bookmarks really messy. I converted multiple Word 2007 documents with the same results.
    How I resolved the issue:
    In the Word 2007 document, open the Styles window, select all instances of the specific Word Heading (in my case, Heading 1). All instances of the selected Word Heading will be selected in the doc.
    Click the New Style icon in the lower left part of the Styles window.
    In the Create New Style from Formatting dialog, create a new style name (e.g., I created H1).
    Just to be sure to NOT create the new style from an existing Word Heading, I selected (no style) in the Style Based On field.
    Configure the remaining formatting items as necessary, and then click OK. All of the selected instances from the old Word Heading style are now changed to the new style created (in my case, H1).
    Click the Preferences tab in the Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007, and open the Bookmarks tab.
    Remove the old Word Heading (in my case, it was Heading 1) so it no longer will be included as a Bookmark in the PDF.
    Select the new Word Style that you created (in my case, H1) to be generated as the Level 2 bookmark. Note: My original Level 1 bookmark, "TOC Bookmark," is still selected. Now, only the Convert Word Styles to Bookmarks is enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
    Generate the PDF once again via the PDFMaker, and no extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF.
    Note: I also noticed that when Index tags (XE tags) were present in an element selected to be a bookmark in the PDF (such as my new style, H1), they also appeared in the PDF Bookmarks pane. I just moved the XE tags down to the body text so they would no longer appear in the PDF.
    Question for discussion: Maybe there is a bug in the PDFMaker when both Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks are selected? The extraneous bookmarks do not appear in my PDF when only Convert Word Styles is selected.
