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!

  • 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.
    Cheers... Rick

  • 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?

  • 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?
    SMILES
    Susann

    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

  • 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.

  • 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 !
    -> Der Adobe Support (Hilfeseiten ) läuft auch ins Leere, da auch hier die Links nicht stimmen !!!

  • 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.

  • 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\
    regards,

  • Using the shared review function with a Captivate including Edge animations

    Hello,
    We are working on a Captivate (Captivate 8) project that includes several modules of which many of the slides have animations created using Edge. We would like to utilize the shared review but when I publish the course and view the course in the Captivate Reviewer, I can't see the animations. Does it have anything to do with the animations being published as HTML5 animations (.oam)? Any thoughts?
    Thank you!

    Thank you for confirming that. Do you know if Adobe offers another way to conduct a collaborative review with html5 projects?

    If I am not able to import the XML file of comments into my Captivate project how can I identify the slide number in the XML file and read the comments manually?

  • Adobe Captivate 4 & Adobe Reviewer

    We are trying to share Adobe Captivate files using Adobe Reviewer, and while I am able to send it to colleagues and have them open the files, when they click the "Save" button in the Captivate Reviewer, I am not able to see the comments. Instead, they have to send me the .xml files which I then have to import. Is this a bug of some sort, or are we doing something wrong?
    Thank you.
    Jeffrey

    Apparently, that is by design.  I was having the same problem and when I looked in Adobe Captivate Reviewer help, it indeed specified that the .xml file is what reviewers should sent to the author.

  • Captivate 5 Reviewer Error in Windows 7

    I successfully created a project in Adobe Captivate 5 and published it to an internal server using the File > Collaborate > Send for Shared Review option.  When I open the .CREV file, the Adobe Captivate Review application successfully opens, but I get the following error message "Unable to load SWF file. Try opening Adobe Captivate Reviewer in the Administrator mode."
    I am running Windows 7 and do not have administrator rights on my local machine.   In order to use the comment features for projects, does each individual reviewer need administrator rights on their local machine for Windows 7?

    I am also getting the same error message.
    This was the same thing with Captivate 4 which was not fully tasted/compatible with Windows 7 (According to Adobe http://forums.adobe.com/message/2715752)
    I thougnt for Captivate 5 this problem would be fixed.
    are we suppost to instal an update or something??
    For our organisation this feature (review) is very important.
    Regards

  • Captivate 5 reviewer in Windows 7

    Hi!
    I'm trying to open a .crev file, using Adobe Captivate Reviewer 2.0 in Windows 7, with no success :-(
    I click on the application icon, apparently it opens, but the big window doesn't open, it always stays minimized.
    Have you got an idea of how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance, Mariana
    PS running the application as administrator doesn't solve any problem.

    Hello,
    And you use Captivate in which language? If CP doesn't exist in Portuguese (I'm not sure), you'll have the same issue I had with Dutch OS: Reviewer in CP5 doesn't work. In Captivate 5.5 this has been fixed, and they promised to offer this fixed version for 5.0 users, but so far I didn't hear anything about it. I will try to get information and post the answer later on.
