Captivate Reviewer issue

Hey everyone,
I haven't used Captivate Reviewer before so I am testing it out. I will be sending out a module to a group of individuals for feedback and wanted to get down the steps for them. The individuals that will be commenting on the module cannot save comments in one location so I was going to have them export their comments, email them to me and then I would import them all and see what feedback they had. When testing it, I export the comment file then try to import and I get the message shown to the right.
I'm trying to find an "easy" way to collect everyone's comments without having to search through the xml file to find them.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Steve

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums
This is a known issue and already escalated to concerned team.
Once there is a fix, we will let you know.
Thanks,

Issue with using Adobe Captivate Review 2.0 software

I have a file that is about 102Meg published that I am sending out for review. I am posting it to location that everyone has access to on our network. The issue I am having is kind of odd. If you install the Captivate Review software on a new machine you can review the .crev file add comments and save just fine. If you close the programm you can not get the software to open the file again. If you go to a different machine and install the software you can review the file again. We are running 32bit Windows XP with duo cpu @ 2.66Ghz and 4 Gigs of Ram on our engineering computers. If we publish a small file size it does not seem to be an issus. Has anyone else run into this issue?

No, but I would really appreciate it if you could report this to the Adobe Captivate team using the web address I have included below.

Captivate Reviewer problem

I have been using Adobe Captivate Reviewer to share my
projects with other members our team. I publish the CREV files to a
shared drive via its UNC path (\\server\name\of\directory). The
comments location is published to the same directory (ACR creates a
directory with a time and date stamp tacked onto the file name,
like this): name_of_project_dd.mm.yy.hh.mm.ss).
That has been working just fine. But now, one of the CREVs,
when launched, says "Shared location in use" and prompts the user
for a local directory. Navigating to the directory on the share
doesn't work; it produces the same error.
Of the six projects I sent out for review, only this one
prompts for a different comment directory. I've tried creating a
new directory on the share just for this project, but that fails
too (with the same error). Any ideas?
Thanks,
James

Hi James,
I am having the same problem. Were you able to resolve your issue or find a workaround?
Thanks,

Adobe Captivate Reviewer - won't load .crev file in Vista

Using Reviewer for the first time (Captivate 4 on Vista box).
Downloaded Reviewer from email link
Clicked on .crev file from email link
In the Reviewer, got message "Unable to load SWF file. Try opening Adobe Captivate Reviewer in the Administrator mode" (see pic)
Clicked OK
Clicked the .crev file in email link again per message "Load Adobe Captivate Movie (.crev, .swf., or .zip)"
Got same "unable to load.... " message again (see pic). Viscious circle here
Downloaded Reviewer to my XP machine - all works like it should.
What do I need to do to my Vista box (primary machine) for the Reviewer to work?

This issue arises because, for some reason, the adobe developer(s) have hard coded a temporary file location of "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate Reviewer <X>*\workspace" to store the .crev, .swf or .zip file when you open it from its original location. In most corporate environments "\Program Files\ or \Program Files (x86)\" is, correctly, restricted to non-administrative users to ensure the integrity of managed applications and the industry standards for temporary storage have been long established as \temp\, \windows\temp\ or <user profile>\appdata\temp\
The corporate workaround to your issue is relatively simple. Your user account needs to be granted the privilege to be able to create and own the workspace folder in the above location. If this is not feasible then you could always just copy the entire contents of "C:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\Adobe\Adobe Captivate Reviewer <X>*" to a location on your machine where you have full access, i.e. your desktop.
Ultimately Adobe development need to update the code in Adobe Air.dll to create the workspace in a temporary folder that conforms to industry standards

Multiple reviewers cannot open CREV files in Adobe Captivate Reviewer 1.0 after the first review

We are using Captivate 4.0 with Captivate Reviewer 1.0 for review and comments. The problem we are having just started within the last month...
We place the CREV file and folder on the network so that multiple reviewers can access. All have Adobe Captivate Reviewer 1.0 installed.
When the first person opens the CREV file, they are told that the folder is already in use, and that they must create another.
Once a new folder is created a user may open the CREV file and make comments and save them. However, subsequent reviewers cannot open the CREV file to add their comments. Subsequent reviewes must create anothe folder and then they can open and review the file and add comments.
However, because the CREV file is now saving comments in a different folder, reviewers cannot see each others comments. The last module we did where everthing worked correctly and multiple reviewers could open and comment the same file without any issues was about one month ago on 07/29. We have no idea if something has changed since then that would render Captivate Reviewer 1.0 inoperable, but we'd like to see if anyone else has seen and/or resolved this issue...
Thanks,
James

No, I've had WIndows 7 since it was released through MSDN. Adobe Captivate 4, released in January 2009, was the most recent version of Captivate available when Windows 7 was released to MSDN and Technet subscribers in August 2009. Captivate 5 was not released until May 2010, almost 9 months after Windows 7 was released to the public.
Captivate 4 has a message at startup mentioning that one should run it as administrator, which is a Windows 7 feature involving User Account Control. We bought it sometime after Windows 7 was released but before Captivate 5 was released, otherwise we would have bought Captivate 5.
Captivate 4 has worked for us on Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. For it to work on Windows Vista and up, we had to make sure a particular update was applied.
The problem is that it works when it feels like it, and the rest of the time it just freezes at startup. Deleting the app data folder seemed to help, so perhaps it had issues with state corruption. These issues have plagued this application from day 1 on every OS we've used it on.

Can Captivate Reviewer 2.0 be used with Captivate 4?

I've attempted to use Captivate Reviewer 2.0 with some CP4 projects and I get "wrong format" or "corrupt file messages".
Reviewer 1.0 works fine. Could my Reviewer 2.0 possibly be corrupt or is it only supposed to work with CP5?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave
Adobe are well known for creating things that are only forward compatible. So I'd be shocked to find that Reviewer 2 works just dandy with Captivate 4.

Captivate Reviewer

HI
I originally set up a trial adobe ID to see if the review process using captivate reviewer would fit our puroposes. I trialled it and it worked well and I was able to retrieve the comments from the dummy one I sent around. I logged in using the trial adobe ID I had previously created.
I then set up a new adobe ID so that this ID could be used to send out to reviewers. I used the collaborate/send for shared review function and entered the new adobe ID details as part of the process but when I opened captivate it didnt give me the option to login using the new adobe ID so the comments are not coming up in the comments window for the project I sent around. I am using captivate 6 - not sure if this makes a difference?
Hope this makes sense....
Cheers
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
Thanks and welcome to Adobe Community.
Yes you are right, in order to send out the file for the review for the reviewers to add comments, you can choose the option send for shared review. Once you have added the comments to the CREV file, you can save them through the save option in reviewer and then send the CREV file through an email as well.
PS: Please make sure you run Captivate Reviewer as administrator, else you won't be able to see the login option.
Thanks!

Adobe Captivate 8 Send For Shared Review link to Adobe Captivate Reviewer provides no download for Captivate 8

In Adobe Captivate 8 if you use the feature "Send for Shared Review" and select the option "Send Email" and "Attach Adobe Captivate Reviewer" the end result is a link generated in the email to download Adobe Captivate Reviewer (doesn't attach it as indicated).
As noted in the email Adobe Captivate 8 Reviewer is REQUIRED to review the file. No big deal there is a link to it in the email : the download link - http://www.adobe.com/go/cp8.0_reviewerapp
Unfortunately that link redirects to another page http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/captivate-6-review-app and on that page there is no Adobe Captivate 8 Reviewer link to download. *screenshot of the page below*
Anyone know the correct link location to download Adobe Captivate 8 Reviewer?
I am still searching but so far have been unable to find it.
Thank you in advance to anyone that can help.

When sharing the link for people to review use the same link http://www.adobe.com/go/cp8.0_reviewerapp but just give instructions to use the one specified for 7.0 (mac or windows).
Sorry to ask again but want to make sure before I send this out to people.
Thank you.

Captivate Reviewer 8 download

Guten Tag,
der angegebene Link in Captivate 8.0 zum Download des Captivate Reviewers 8 stimmt nicht.
Adobe wirbt ausdrücklich mit seinem Produkt Captivate 8 , dass ein Anschauen und Kommentieren für "Nicht"-Captivate- Besitzer über den Reviewer möglich ist.
Auf den Hilfeseiten kommen nur falsche Links und im Produkt selbst ebenso.
Captivate 8 > Datei > Versenden zur freigegebenen Überprüfung > weiter > Veröffentlichungsordner/Projektkommentarordner > Häkchen bei E-Mail senden > Häkchen bei Reviewdate (.crev) anhängen > Häkchen bei "Adobe Captivate-Reviewer" anfügen.
Von Captivate generierte Mail an z.B. Projektmitverantwortlichen, der kein Captivate 8 hat: "Öffnen Sie das Dokument in Adobe Captivate Reviewer und fügen Sie Kommentare hinzu. Klicken Sie nach dem Überprüfen auf „Kommentare speichern“, um Ihre Kommentare automatisch an den Autor und alle anderen Reviewer zurückzusenden."
Adobe Captivate Reviewer steht unter folgender URL zum Download bereit: http://www.adobe.com/go/cp8.0_reviewerapp_de
-> unter dem Link nichts zu finden !
-> In Hilfe-Foren habe ich nichts dazu gefunden !

Adobe Captivate Reviewer 2.0 not installed with Captivate 5

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if someone could direct me to a location where I might be able to download Captivate Reviewer 2.0. I noticed my system added this program when I purchased the Captivate 5 upgrade, however, it does not boot up.

Hi,
If you have installed Captivate 5 successfully, 'Adobe Captivate Reviewer 2.0' should be present in the 'Program Files' folder.
Please look for following folder and run the EXE file.
<C/D: drive>\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate Reviewer 2.0\

Captivate 6 Issue: Swapped or Removed Graphics

I have a Captivate file with 163 slides. This is for an online tutorial for software, so is very interactive.
I keep the file on my desktop, as it became clear that Captivate does not play well with our network.
I am the only one who opens and works with this file.
Monday, I worked on the file most of the day to fine tune interactions and audio.
Tuesday, I opened the file and found that I had several slides with missing graphics, and on other slides the graphics that were showing were from other slides. There is no possibility that I put those graphics on the slides, as they were completely out of context, as well as sequence. I checked a previously published version (.exe), and the graphics were correct on that version.
This has caused me a lot of rework, and I have had to tell my client that there is a delay in delivery due to technical issues. This damages my reputation.
Has anyone seen this before, and is there a fix that would restore my confidence in this product?
This issue makes me wonder if I should be using a different product. I can't afford not to trust the software that I am using.

Re:
The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't - did you find a solution? I'd dearly like to be able to tidy up the ticks!
Thanks

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

Canon 100d photo review issue

Hi,
I got a new Canon 100d recently which was working fine until a week ago. I now have the problem of the photo review (set for 2 secs) not working. Also when I change setting on the dial, I don't see the options on the touch screen anymore, it's just blank. Rarely, they flash for a second and don't come up again when I switch between review and taking pictures using the play button at the bottom as it used to do. Has anyone faced this issue and please post a solution if you have experienced this issue please. Thanks.

Check out solution from dpreview. I am not sure if that would work yet:

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,
Danny

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.

Captivate 6 issue with quiz remediation

Hi,
I have below scenario,
slide 1
slide 2
slide 3
quiz slide: In the quiz slide if user enters correct answer it should take to the next slide, if user enters wrong answer should go back to Slide 3 to review the content. After review should be able to take quiz again.
slide 4
slide 5
Currently issue is when user enters wrong answer, he is redirected to slide 3 for review but when he comes back to quiz slide submit button is disabled. i tried several options like adding click interaction on slide 3 and including this as part of quiz scope. nothing worked. Please help me out to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Krishna

Captivate 6 includes a new feature called Return to Quiz.
You can set the On Last Attempt action on the Quiz slide to jump to your remediation slide (3). You can place a button on that slide labelled as Next and set its action as Return to Quiz. The first time the user passes through that remediation slide, the button action defaults to Continue. But if you returned to that slide from a failed question slide, then on clicking the button again it would jump you back to the question slide you just failed, and the user would be given another attempt at the question.
I'm not personally in favour of this particular 'feature' because it basically means the user can loop around as many times as they want until they get the question correct. In my view this isn't great instructional design.
But it might be good enough for what you want.
