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

  • IPod Classic video stops when plugged into external speakers

    Whenever I'm playing video and plug my iPod Classic into external speakers (doesn't matter the speakers, it happens with all of them), the video stops playing and the screen behaves as if I'd pressed the "Menu" button. Extremely annoying when playing video playlists.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Yep, it's through the dock. I don't get why Apple keeps "updating" and taking away features. It happened when at first you could shuffle "songs" and "videos", and the videos would play as such. Now they play as "songs", only audio without video.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Video flickering when published live from camera

    I am getting flickered image when published from live camera.
    Settings done for view of flash player in html page and settings done before publishing in actionscript is as follows:
    setting in HTML:
    size of flash player object in html page is 240*180
    setting in actionscript:
    stage size is 216*162
    size of video component is 216*162
    camera.setMode varies as:- camera.setMode(160,120,6) //////////////in this case there is a flickering
                                                 camera.setMode(320,240,8) //////////////in this case there is a flickering
                                                 camera.setMode(640,480,2) //////////////in this case there is no flickering.
    Now what I have tried to resolve the issue:
    1) changed the size in html to 320*240
    2) set the stage size to 320*240
    3) size of video component to 320*240
    I have tried all permutations for the above three scenario but still not got the solution.
    I have also tried to make the size of video component as per the camera height and width respectively, with/ without altering the size of stage, still no success.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance

    first thing to try is to upgrade your video driver.  if the issue still persists, please enter a bug here: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm

  • Embedded Vimeo videos play when published on desktop but won't show up online

    I have a site that I updated recently … when I finished revising in iWeb and published it to my URL none of the embedded Vimeo videos show up.  According to Vimeo customer support, and my web host, there is "no code or file" in the space where the video/html snippet should be. Tried rebuilding pages from scratch, still no video.  Same process worked before and my site was functioning fine until I made this most recent update.  Any reason why embed code would work prior to update, and not now?  Why it finds the video when published to a folder on my desktop, but not when it's published to URL?  Working with iWeb 3.0 and OS 10.9.4.

    From your statements I guess that you put the files on the server yourself.
    Make sure that you put ALL the files and folders on the server.
    And why not provide a link to the page?

  • Captivate 6 rendering issues when publishing flash only

    Hello,
    I wanted to ask if anybody else is experiencing the same issue as I am experiencing when I publish my captivate 6 projects:
    Issue:
    Project consists of 46 slides.  No advanced actions.  Multiple rollover images and text captions are on several slides. software capture
    When publishing to a USB or my desktop then previewing I get rendering issues and these vary from parts of the software that I am capturing not appearing at all to my master slide templates disappearing.  Whenever this happens I try publishing to flash 10 and ctick the force republish of all slides - sometimes this fixes the problem sometimes it does not.  So I try publishing to flash 9 force republish of all slides sometimes this fixes the problem sometimes it does not.  It is just so hit and miss I have to publish 4 to 5 times before I finally am successful.  So of course this is extremely frustrating when I have to make changes to the project and republish.
    Also notice that viewing in web browser has the same issue.
    Think I am going to have to go back to captivate 5.5, which is such a shame as I really love some of the new features in 6.
    Does anybody have any ideas as to why this may be happening?
    I have attached two screen dumps - one where the screen is rendered poorly and the other where I have crossed all of my fingers and toes and republished and the screen has been rendered correctly:
    Thanks
    Ali

    Hello Sankaram,
    I am experiencing the same problem as Ali, where my master slide randomly disappears in my published project. I tried the options you listed above. I also deselected "Use Master Slide Background" and "Project Background" on each slide.
    Also, I have a button on each slide (next button to move through the slides) and sometimes disappears as well. However, I can still click in that region where it should be visible, and it will progress to the next slide.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Jackie

  • Streaming video stops when initiate closed captioning

    So our company has a streaming video feed coming from the folks over at quickplay.com.
    All was good watching the streaming video in Safari (iOS 8 and Mac 10.10)...UNTIL you turn on closed captioning. Now anytime you load the feed you get a "Missing plug-in" message with "This page contains content of “application/vnd.apple.mpegurl” type. You do not have the plug-in required to view this content."
    Close/restart Safari, or rebooting does nothing...happens on the Mac and iPhone. So I came across the enable Accessibility options for closed captioning on both devices in Settings and nothing.
    One of our staff needs to view this feed with the CC on to monitor it. So I guess first where on both devices is it caching the preference to use CC and making them unable to stream the feed any longer. And then...why is this not working?

    What is the subject matter of these FLVs? 
    If it's Captivate screen captures, then you could have added the CC text to each slide if you had left them as FMV slides.
    However, if the video content is of other things, e.g. people talking or some type of action captured with a video camera, then I believe your best solution would be to add the Closed Captioning in whatever tool you used to edit and publish the video. 
    As I mentioned before, Captivate doesn't really provide a mechanism for adding CC text to on screen objects that contain audio in any form.  So for example, you cannot add CC text to an SWF that you've inserted as an animation, even though you can record and add audio to that SWF in Captivate.  Videos are in a similar position, except that they usually don't have their audio added in Captivate.  They mostly come with their audio track built in.  This means the only real way to guarantee good synchronisation of the CC text is to have it embedded in the video as well.

  • 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...
