Captivate 7 Certificate

I have a certicate designed in PDF that I woiud like to use rather than the one in interactions. Is it possible to use this file and if so how do I upload it to the course?
Failing that how do I redisign the certificate in Captivate 7?

I don't think you will find anything free that will allow you to save an image or a PDF from Captivate. The only other alternative is probably to instruct the student to do a "Print Screen" and then paste this into a Word document or an email but that will most likely end up in chaos, so you are better off getting the widget

  • Captivate Certificate Widget - Printing Problems.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem? It's not a problem in Captivate, per say, but it's Captivate related.
    First some vital facts:
    OS: Mac OS X 10.6.4
    Captivate 5
    Flash: CS4
    Flash Player: 10.1.53.64
    Browser: Firefox
    I have a customized Captivate Certificate Widget (AS3) from Captivate 4 that works perfectly. When one clicks the "Print Button", the print dialog box comes up and when one checks the print preview option, one sees the certificate ready to be sent to the printer.
    Fantastic. Now I want to save this Flash file as a new file and I want to change a textbox on the certificate that is no connected to the ActionScript at all. When I publish this new file, the Print button no longer works. Can anyone explain this?
    I have, in fact taken a look at the new Captivate 5 Certificate Widget. I published it out and it's print button doesn't work either! I took both my swfs into XP and opened them and they both worked fine in Firefox and IE.
    After further examining both Flash files for the CP4 Certificate Widget and the CP5 Certificate Widget, I keep noticing that an error is traced to the output window when publishing the files. The error appears after pressing the Print button and then canceling the print. The error that I'm getting is:
    TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
       at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
       at CertificateWidget_fla::MainTimeline/ClickPrint()
    I've managed to point the problem to line 207: this.removeChild(sheets);
    Is this causing the problem?
    If anyone could help, that would be great. I don't want to tell my client that the certificate that was working, now doesn't work for no apparent reason.

    I use Cap 4 for testing. You put a name field in the first slide, then the certificate widget will fill in the name, date, and score.  You get a print or e-mail field at the bottom of the certificate.
    I used Internet sources to find out how to do some things, but the Adobe free online webinars taught me most of it.

  • Change AS3 for Captivate Certificate Widget

    I need help in what actions to add to the Captivate 4 Certificate widget.
    I used Flash a couple of years ago, and have lost my touch. I am not sure what actions to add to captrue a click box score.
    Currently Captivate 4 was designed to only calculate scores from question slides for a percentage in the certificate. I create a lot of performance based tests and need to provide a certificate at the end of each test. I was told by a Captivate expert that it would have to be done in Flash.
    Can anyone help in how to create a widget with these parameters added?
    Thank you,
    Judy

    I use Cap 4 for testing. You put a name field in the first slide, then the certificate widget will fill in the name, date, and score.  You get a print or e-mail field at the bottom of the certificate.

  • Print Widget cutting of part of page

    I am trying to use the print widget to print a page of my captivate presentation.  when I preview it to print it as a pdf, it is cutting off part of the page.  How do I get it to print the whole page?

    I am also having problems with the Captivate 6 print widget.  I am publishing to an exe and most of the time, the print widget creates a page where only part of the slide is showing and it is off center and larger than it is supposed to be.  It looks as if it is only printing the stage.  I am a contractor and am not allowed to purchase third party widgets.  I have tried to alter the print widget in flash and when I do, it only prints blank pages, if it prints at all.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I am using Captivate 6 and Flash cs6.  I have tried the Certificate Widget, but the certificates do not have the information on them that I need.  We have created our own certificate with user variables for the Name, Couse and dates.  I have not had a chance to look at altering the Captivate Certificate widget yet.  Any help is appreciated.

  • Printing a certificate in Captivate CS5

    Hello,
    I am currently using Captivate CS5 and I want to have some sort of button/click box etc or even link which allows the student to print a certificate or have one emailed to them when they reach a certain section in my module. I also want this certificate to ideally have their name and date of completion present on too.
    I can create a 'certificate-style' slide already which uses Text Entry boxes and variables but as I'm not brilliant with captivate yet and am still very new to widgets, I wanted to see what is the most basic/straightforward/least complex students could be sent/print out their certificates.
    Any help would be very appreciated!

    Hi Kayleigh
    Hopefully Lilybiri won't mind my offering a reply here as I'm guessing she is tucked into bed for the evening. I believe she lives in Belgium and according to my clock it's midnight there.
    To insert a widget, click Window > Widget and Captivate should list the widgets for you to choose.
    You may find you need to also click the little Folder Icon and browse to the Gallery/Widgets folder in order to see the available widgets.
    Click the image below for larger and clearer view.

  • Adobe Captivate 7: How to Customize Certificate Widget

    I can only add (1) additional variable option in a certificate widget text fields.  How can I add more variables on the certificate?  I need these variables to print out on the certificate when the learner selects the print button.  Is it possible to add a company logo onto the certificate that will print also. 

    Not all video files are created equal.  Captivate has in the past shown a preference for certain encoding in FLVs and F4V video files.  It's recommended that any video you want to use with Captivate be encoded via the Adobe Media Encoder app that comes with Captivate.
    Even the fact that your FLV was encoded with some other Adobe app, does not guarantee it will work with Captivate. (Don't get me started on that.)  So try re-encoding your FLV with AME and then see if that improves your chances of embedding the link.

  • How do i remove the authorized signature from a certificate widget on captivate 8?

    Does anyone know how to remove the authorized signature from a certificate widget on captivate 8?
    or
    How to build my own widget to include quiz results/score and print widget?

    Strange workaround, but just checked it and it works (even for responsive project): you can drag the Signature, I dragged it as far out as possible (to the bottom) and when previewing the Certificate it was gone.
    Do you need a widget? It is not that easy if you need it both for SWF and HTML output because I'm aware at this moment of only very few widgets available on the market. You can create a slide with all you need, using the quizzing system variables and a button with a JS to print?
    Maybe some inspiration here: Intermediate Score Slides - Captivate blog

  • Making Certificate widget Captivate 7 work

    It is probably a very simple question, but I am lost. How will I make Certificate widget work in Captivate 7 ?
    I have inserted the widget into last screen of my file, after quiz and quiz results. How will I make it "pick up" quiz score and grade? Can I delete grade?
    Thank you

    HI,
    The Certificate format is editable and so you can delete or add text in it. In the Widget Properties, double click on the Certificate and it becomes editable.
    The score obtained in the Quiz is automatically picked up by the widget and gets populated in corresponding section of certificate. 'Score' in Edit Variables should be ON. (Refer screenshot below)
    The username is taken from LMS. If you want to give your own username, a user-defined variable solves this problem.
    Click on the Edit Variables in Widget Properties
    Mark Name as OFF
    Mark Other as ON and give any user-defined variable name
    Create the user-defined variable with the same name in Captivate and give the name that should appear in certificate in Value field
    Let me know if you find any other difficulty in using the widget.
    Regards,
    Salini

  • Certificate of completion Captivate 8

    Hei everyone.
    Anyone here who knows how to change color theme on certificate of completion widget in captivate 8, or if it's even possible? I am able to change colour of text but can't see where to change colour of background, style etc.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hei Lilybiri,
    Thanks for the help. I have followed the steps on your blog but the weird thing is that when i click on customize i don't get a dialog box. nothing under default colors and nothing under theme colors. The only choice i get is to change text color.
    What could be the reason?
    Here are the steps i have followed on your blog:
    The interaction themes are at the left, with default theme selected; use the Custom button at the bottom
    Default Colors are activated, and you could customize them using the Customize button, but then you'll see the old cold dialog box, which has no link to your theme colors
    Click on Theme colors: the preview will be changed immediately, and the Customize button now appears under Theme Colors
    When using this customize button, you'll see the Theme colors with their tints when changing a color.

  • Certificate widget and SCORM reporting in Captivate 5

    I have been trying to make the Moodle (1.9) Gradebook accurately report SCORM 1.2 results with no success. In desperation I have redesigned the project using a certificate widget, but I can't get that to work either! Please can someone direct me to a working fix? I have tried the fix mentioned by Xeon64 here http://forums.adobe.com/message/3867196#3867196 but when I try to use the widget I get an 'invalid widget' error message. I'd prefer not to have to rebuild the entire project a third time in Captivate 4, which seemed to work ok for me.
    A working solution will earn you eternal gratitude from a desperate ID!
    J

    To be quite honest, I've never taken to using the Certificate widget.  I've seen so many complaints about it on the forums that I've deliberately avoided it.
    On the last project I worked on, the client wanted a certificate that was populated with the user's name, employee id, site location, and course completion status.    But they specifically wanted to prevent one user from just altering the data and printing out certificates for other users.  So they also didn't want the user  And the client also wanted an email to be automatically sent with all the same data to their training department so that personnel records could be updated at the same time. But they wanted to have this email sent automatically without user intervention to prevent similar falsification of course completion.
    The current certificate widget wasn't able to give me all these fields and email functionaltiy.  So I ended up cobbling together my own solution using a widget from Jim Leichliter that allowed me to output User Variables as query strings on a URL so that I could pass data from the course to a PHP page on my website that first sent an email to training and then redirected to another HTM page with the Certificate and it's fields containing the user's completion data.
    Jim also has another widget that creates a PDF export page that can also serve as a course completion certificate.  If I were you, I'd be looking into that widget to see if it would do what you want.

  • Captivate 5 Certificate Widget Breaks Project in IE

    We have a Captivate 5 (CP5) project with a few slides and at the end we've added the CP5 Certificate widget. When we publish out the course, and upload it into an LMS and play back the course, it works fine in all browsers except Internet Explorer (IE). The SCO has major playback issues when viewed in IE6, IE7, and IE8.
    We've tried removing the CP5 Certificate Widget and replacing it with the CP5 Certificate widget (ActionScript 3.0 version) and the same problem keeps occuring in IE.
    Here's what happens when the Certificate Widget is in the project. The course plays but there is a constant flickering that occurs for the entire duration of the project. Our project displays momentarily, but is then interrupted by a clicking noise and a blank screen. Sometimes the blank screen is a white block. Other times its a gray block with the top two corners rounded. Sometimes it doesn't even revert to our screen.
    ANY and ALL insight into what could be causing this is helpful! We've submitted multiple bug reports to Adobe but have yet to hear a response. We don't know if its a CP5 issue, a IE Flash-Player issue, a Widget Issue or something else.
    Here's a video of what is happening:
    Here's a ScreenShot: The gray box with rounded corners is not in our project.

    Here's a better example of the project and how it's breaking.
    As you can see, I just have three slides, with a button to continue to the next slide, but functionality breaks over the whole project because the Certificate Widget is in the project. Also, notice that I don't have the rounded corners on my project.
    Seriously, does anyone have any idea what could be causing this issue?

  • Captivate 4 quiz not scoring correctly on certificate widget

    Hi, this is my first post, so I hope I get it right. I am fairly new to Captivate. I have created a quiz that is being scored at the end of a tutorial which includes an interactive training exercise.  The quiz has 5 questions and the student is able to retake the quiz indefinitely until he/she passes.  The problem is when they use the Retake Quiz option.  Although the score slide indicates that they have failed, the certificate is adding the scores of both failed quizzes. So, if someone takes the quiz and gets a 40%, retakes it and gets another 40%, the score report indicates a failing grade, but the certificate is adding it up to 80% and passing them.  Any help anyone can give would be appreciated!!
    Thanks,
    Mary

    This sounds like a bug in the certificate widget.
    Do you have the slide set up to ONLY branch to the certificate AFTER the user has successfully passed the course, or does the user see the certificate each time they do the quiz?

  • Certificates in Captivate 4

    Hello All,
    I have managed to use the certificate widget to insert a basic certificate into adobe captivate 4 - I have got the user name on the certificate via a text box - and using the v-Name varaible. However the certificate is very basic. Is there any way I could import a certificate created in powerpoint - and then put the vname varaible on it.

    Hi Kingrollo2,
    Did you get any replies yet to your question ?
    I agree with you, the Certificate in v4 is very, very basic.
    I have another question that I will be posting on this forum and that is: Can you Edit the font and number of characters for the Course name ? My course title does not appear in full on the certificate and cannt see how to change the settings.
    Any ideas ?

  • Captivate 6 Certificates Will Not Print with Date, Score or Username

    We are currently using Adobe Captivate 6 to create training modules for new employees. We are inserting the certificate widget at the end of each module that includes the username, the course title, and the date and score variable are turned on.  However, after we publish the file (as an .exe) and try to print the certificate, the username, date and score do not print out.  They are all visible on the screen until you click print - then they disappear. If you click the back arrow and go to the previous slide then return to the certificate they are visible again but disappear when you try to print. Is there anyway around this or a way to correct this issue?

    As far as I know it's not fixed.  I had to find an alternative solution.  I ended up creating my own certificate, then inserted it as a picture.  Next I added the textboxes to automatically generate the username, date, and quiz score (if applicable) onto the lines of the certificate.  I inserted the print widget (which prints only a screen shot of the slide).  Since everything prints out as landscaped, on the computer, I went to devices and printers, selected the default printer we are using, went to settings/options and marked the paper orientation as 'landscape' (this only works because we have specific laptops dedicated to using the captivate training software, otherwise, everything anyone would print would end up like this, or they would have to know to change the setting when printing, but like your situation, not everyone here would know how to do that), Once my own certificate was created, I was able to just copy that slide and paste it into any other project that needed it and then just modify the title and add the print widget (i dont recall the widget copying over). Another issue I had when doing this was getting the right resolution on the project, if the resolution is too high, the certificate will be larger than the paper when printing (or if its too low it will be much smaller than the paper). Once I found the right resolution though I made sure that was my default when starting a project.

  • Printing high quality certificates in captivate

    Hello!
    I am trying to print a certificate that I created in PhotoShop and inserted into CP7.
    It looks amazing on screen, but prints out horribly.  I have tried fooling around with different file types, jpg, gif, etc.  And I tried increasing the DPI to 600, but nothing seems to be working.
    Is there a way to print high quality, non-pixilated slides from Captivate?  If not, does anyone have a work around for printing certificates that look nice?
    I also wanted the user to simply click the print widget one time and have the document already formatted to landscape & the highest quality - but I'm stumped on if that can be done..and how to do that?
    A similar post last month has someone else perplexed as well...

  • Printing a PDF in Captivate (not a certificate)

    I hope you all can help me.  I'm working on a CBT in Captivate 4 for a brief tutorial.  At the end of the course I need the employee you print out a PDF file that they sign and turn in to their manager.  The employees taking this course are not computer savvy at all so I want the PDF to print automatically or at the very least automatically bring up the print dialogue box like it does if you use the certificate widget.
    I've figured out how to add a button that opens the PDF file, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to go straight to print.  The trick is that I'm only working in Captivate and don't have Flash.  Is this possible?
    Cheers,
    Jay

    JayDeeGee,
    I almost repent having made it sound really simple. There are so many variables, such as how different browsers handle such events, client side security settings, javascript being disabled etc. It's a convoluted process and it's not guaranteed to work. I feel your pain but then again, If your audience cannot print a pdf file, maybe, they shouldn't ( I know I'm being acidic) . However, believing that good design should not stop at such hinderances, I can probably offer this: if you have Acrobat Standard (or Pro) you can provide simple instructions from within your pdf so that your learners can manage to print it.
