Captivate 4 file not opening in Captivate 6

Is it possible to open a captivate 4 file in captivate 6. Cp6 keeps shutting down when I try to open cp4 file.

The workaround would be to open the file in Cp4 first and remove the offending AS2 components. Then open it in Cp6. If you have access to Cp5x, try opening the file there first. Perhaps it's not so sensitive.

Researched the blog and tried 2 suggestions:
1. Clearing the cache. Did not work. I do not have a cache folder. I haven't created a Captivate 5.5 project. I'm just trying to open a file sent to me.
2. Tried deleted bak file. Didn't work. Captivate 5 keeps recreating the file.
Other facts:
Other people have been able to download the trial version and open the file.
I have Captivate 4 on my machine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm experiencing about the same problem:
I made a software demo using Macromedia Captivate on computer 1 en sent it by e-mail to computer 2.
On computer 2 I installed a Captivate 5.5 trial and I want to open the file in 5.5.
The file is not locked as far as I know (I right-clicked the file > properties > unlock)
I do have sufficiënt available space and resources. The file contains 135 slides but is not too large as I tried to do the same thing with a 50-slide file > same error message.
I tried creating a new blank project > I copied the slides into the blank project, saved again on a local drive, sent it to computer 2 again, but same error message.
Please help, I'm getting desperate.

PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
it always open in browser
I have already made following changes but didn,t work
Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
Installed Adober eader in client machine
Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you. The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

Pdf file not opening on pushing fdf file with F key in Adobe Reader

Well i am a novice developer in case of PDF Development.
The problem which i am facing is:-
In our application a PDF document submits the data to server and server sends back FDF to client with f key as http path of PDF which is present on web server.
This all works well in acrobat professional 7.0 but in abobe reader 8.0 the PDF file doesn't open up on pushing FDF.
On debugging the problem i found out that if server sends response within 480 milliseconds then reader is showing the pdf otherwise it don't shows up.Since in our application it will always take more than this time because of several operation performed to serve the request posted to server,So the
PDF will never show up in case of reader.
I was unable to understand what make it special in acrobat professional that session lasts more than 480 milliseconds whereas in reader the session doesn't last that long.
I really need uregent help on this.
Thanks in advance for help.

Quick Time file not opening

Suddenly QuickTime 7.5.5 stopped opening the movies stored in one Hard Disc.
Here are descriptions of how problem occurs:
1) The preview in finder +column view+ shows only blank space, but not a movie.
2) Instead of opening the file QT claims that "This is not a movie file"
3) Not all the movies in the disk are injured but about 80 % of them. There might be in same folder movies that behaves normally and movies that behaves as described above.
I have restarted the machine few times and repaired the disk with disk utility, with not any couraging results...
If there were any ideas what the problem might be, and how to fix it, advices would be very much appreciated.
Screenshots of the problem:
http://koti.welho.com/tsuonio1/File-not-open.jpg

Two possibilities spring to mind. One is that the HD itself has been damaged somehow. Try copying one of the "bad" video files to your boot drive and opening from there. If it won't copy, your HD is clearly bad, if it copies and plays then something weirder is going on with the drive.
The other possibility has to do with the h264 codec you used. Apple's implementation of the H264 standard is a work in progress, they've been gradually adding features that are part of the full standard and may have broken something. If you recently upgraded QT that may be the problem. If you created the files using a third party H264 codec that might explain the playback problems. Also, you should install Perian (www.perian.org) and see if that helps, their codec plays back many formats that Apple doesn't support out of the box.
You may need to upload one of the bad files to an filesharing website of some kind so that other folks here can download and look at it themselves.

.indd files not opening with recently installed Indesign CS3

The .indd files don't have the Indesign icon next to them, instead they have the win32 icon. When I double click on one of the files an error message appears telling me that...
"this file is not a valid win32 application"
Even when I right-click on the file and choose to open with Indesign, it tells me the same thing. Also in this options menu, Indesign is not shown with the Indesign logo next to it, but rather the windows generic 'unknown file type' logo.
If I open Indesign first however, and then choose file>open and choose the file. It opens fine.

Exactly my situation yesterday, with the icon disappearing and INDD files not opening within InDesign from Explorer.
I'm using an early XP Pro, which I guess qualifies it as 32 bit.
The steps to rebuilding everything using the Folder Options in Windows Explorer are:
Tools > Folder Options > File Types
If INDD is not listed, click the New button to creat an entry, otherwise select it and click the Advanced button.
You have an option to change the icon, so navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 and select the InDesign icon.
Then under actions you need to create four actions that will relate to the context menu choices when you right click an INDD files, so click New and add actions for edit, open, preview and print.
In the Application used to perform action box enter "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\InDesign.exe" "%1"
Those quote marks are important. Just browsing to InDesign.exe will fill the box for you, but for some reason - for me at least - it creates the %1 indicating to open the file you selected, but it doesn't wrap it in quotes. And without those quotes (at least on my machine) InDesign will start but won't load the file.
There is also a check box to use DDE. I don't know what's appropriate here, but I ticked the box and it works OK.

Can Captivate 4 project files be opened in Captivate 5?

I was wondering if captivate 4 project files can be opened in captivate 5? I know captivate 2 project files cannot.
Thanks guys,
Kya.

Hello and welcome on the forum (see it is your first posting),
Normally there are no issues when opening CP4-files in CP5: they will be converted, including the advanced actions (if there are) and to AS3 if the CP4 was AS2 because CP5 only supports AS2. I only had some few issues with those convertions.
Beware: you will not be able to open the converted file in CP4 anymore. As always, be careful to keep the original files stored safely somewhere.

Capivate 3 project will not open in Captivate 4

I have seen 2 items in this forum with simular problems. But both solutions did not help me.
Today I have installed Captivate 4 for testing. I'm testing with one project that consists of 5 CP3 files. One main and 4 sub (cp) files.
One has Quizing activated the rest not. At first I was able to open and convert the main file (Quizing activated) but than the second file did also ask for an other name and after entering the new name, nothing happens. Later I tried the first CP3 file again but it would not open anymore. The saved converted file I can still open in CP4.
I have updated CP4 and CP3 but no success on opening the files in CP4. What can I do to solve this problem? After this test I have many more to convert.

Hi there
I'd be happy to try and convert one of the problem files for you if you like. This would provide the following information.
* If I were successful, it would point to a possible issue on your end that you may be able to resolve.
* If I were NOT successful, it would point to either an issue with this particular file, or to the process generically
Your call on what happens next. If you are interested, you could use Acrobat.com or YouSendIt.com to transfer the files. All you would need is my E-Mail address, which is rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com
Cheers... Rick

Audio Editor does not open in Captivate 6

Unfortunately when I try to open the Audio Editor nothing opens but I have to use the Esc key to move on (as if it's open but it's really not open). I've tried opening from the Timeline (double clicking audio or right-click Edit...) and from the Advanced Audio Management screen, the window is just not there. I looked up this topic and it seems there was this same issue with Captivate 4 and the solution was to find the Application Data folder and remove a .dat file. I am not a system admin on this computer so I cannot access this file. Please help me to find another solution community. Thanks

Hello There,
Please try this:
Close Captivate First.
For Windows 7
Please go to C:> users> current User> App data (hidden Folder) > Adobe> Captivate 6.0 > rename this folder to oldCaptivate 6.0
For Windows XP
Please go to C:>
C:\Documents and Settings>Current User>Local Settings>Application Data>Adobe>Captivate 6.0 rename this folder to oldCaptivate 6.0
Then launch Captivate
Note: make sure that Captivate 6.0 folder shold not be empty
Accessing this folder and renaming, does not require Admin Rights.
Thanks.

Captivate does not open anymore

Hi everybody,
Since yesterday morning my Cap7 does not open anymore.
- I have tried to open the program without opening any projects: failed...
- I have to tried to open specific project directly: failes...
When opening projects/the program I can see the loading bar and the the task manager shows me some CPU and working memory usage. The Cap icon also appears in the lower menu bar. But obviously, as soon as the project is fully loaded (so it seems to me), the program is closed and no more processes are visible.
Background information:
- Win 7
- Cap 7
- in a company environment (last week everything worked without any problems)
- cannot open Cap in administrator mode
I could imagine that there have been any updates or whatsoever from out IT department over the weekend. But if this could be the problem, it would be great to have any idea what COULD be the problem.
Really hoping that you can help as I have to launch course translations in the next days...
Kind regards!

Is your company network using virtual My Documents folders or roaming user profiles? If so, that might be the cause of the issue if there has been a change to the location of your My Documents folder. Have you recently moved location in the company?
Since you are unable to open Captivate there's no way to find out where your current Default Locations are. These are shown on the Preferences > General section.
Perhaps one of the Adobe reps on this forum can tell you how to find the Captivate log file that will hopefully show where the launch has failed. In the meantime, contact your IT department, have them remote into your PC and try to launch Captivate using Administrator privileges under their IT admin profile. If the issue is related to privileges, then they should be able to open it. If they can, then try and see what the Default Locations are (as mentioned above). If the default locations are NOT on your hard drive, then change them immediately while the Admin is logged in.

Captivate could not open .cptx

Captivate v5.5
I have raised this same problem before but was unable to resolve it - and it has happened again.
A colleague has created a project. Saved it and when trying to open it, they get the above message.
I have checked with them and they dont have a .bak ( they will from now on....) and they have cleared their PC temp folder and still it wont open.
They sent me the file and I get the same error message and unable to open the file.
Two questions please;
1. Any suggestions as to how to open this file?
2. What causes this error, as this is now the second time they have suffered this problem in as many weeks?
Noel

Hello Noel,
As Rodward Suggested there could be different ways from which the projects get corrupted .
Listed below are the most common causes of Adobe Captivate file corruption:
Editing a project on a network drive or network location.
Closing Adobe Captivate improperly.
Using an older version of Adobe Captivate (for example, Macromedia Captivate 1.0).
Copying and pasting of objects/slides in an older version of Adobe Captivate.
Using Adobe Captivate on a system that does not meet or exceed system requirements.
Please look for files with extension as .bak or .cpbackup in the location where your source file was saved and try renaming it to filename.cptx .
There is a blog available to recover the project , You can try it and see if it works for you :-
