Convert back to captivate

I mistakenly converted some of my captivate files to HTML
(Yeah, I know it was stupid). Can I convert them back to captivate?
I tried to just change the program the file opens with but get the
error that the file has been corrupted.

Hi TracieTX
I think you are slightly confused. There is no conversion of
HTML to Captivate. Captivate creates output that uses an HTML page
to present the .SWF it creates. But Captivate stores all its
projects in files that bear a file extension of .CP.
Perhaps by reading that information and thinking about your
situation, you might reply back with a different description of
what you are seeing? This way we might be better equipped to
assist.
Cheers... Rick

  • Adobe X PDF files converted to jpg, edited and converted back to PDF have ragged, unclear text.  I didn't have this problem with Acrobat 9 standard.  What is the remedy for this.  If this is the best I can expect, I won't be able to use X standard.

    I can't imagine any worse workflow than converting to JPEG to edit text, then back to PDF. Text in a PDF is a vector thing, smooth at all resolutions. And JPEG is made for photos. EVERY conversion to JPEG and back loses quality but how much loss there is will vary.
    If you must go to an image format, try PNG.

  • Converting Back to Original PDF Using Post Script File

    Is there any way to convert back to an original PDF using a post srcipt file that was created from that original PDF?  Allow me to fully explain my situation:
    I converted multiple pdf's that I created into a post script file.  I then utilized Adobe Distiller to convert them into a pdf that could be used for better printing and better usability by the end user.  Unfortunately, when Distiller did this conversion, it replaced my original pdf with the new one.  By the time I realized what was happening, all files had been replaced.
    I still have the post script file that was created from the original PDF file; is there any way possible using this post script file that it can be somehow converted back to the original PDF file?  There are some edits that I need to do on the original PDF.  The pdf that Distiller creates doesn't allow for anymore edits.  My goal is to be able to make my edits without having to re-create 37 pages of documents. 
    The software versions I'm using are as follows: Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4, Adobe Distiller Version 10.1.438.
    If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

  • I'm a bit confused. Since my original camera format was 720/60p, and I converted the footage to Pro Res422 in order to edit in Final Cut Pro 7, should I convert back to a higher quality format before sending the file to DVD Studio Pro?

    I'm a bit confused. Since my original camera format was 720/60p, and I converted the footage to Pro Res422 in order to edit in Final Cut Pro 7, should I convert back to a higher quality format before sending the file to DVD Studio Pro? If so, which Compressor codec is best to use in order to preserve the original 720/60p?   How do I maintain the highest quality?

    No...ProRes is a high quality format. Finishing format.  Many TV networks take that as a final deliverable. 
    BUT...DVDs aren't high definition...they are SD.  You cannot make a 720p60 DVD with DVD Studio Pro.  Any DVD you make will be SD...720x480.  The only HD DVD format out there is BluRay, and for that you need a BluRay burner.
    As for making a high quality DVD...using the BEST QUALITY settings in Compressor will work:
    #42 - Quick and dirty way to author a DVD
    Shane's Stock Answer #42 - David Roth Weiss' Secret Quick and Dirty Way to Author a DVD:
    The absolute simplest way to make a DVD using FCP and DVDSP is as follows:
    1. Export a QT movie, either a reference file or self contained using current settings.
    2. Open DVDSP, select the "graphical" tab and you will see two little monitors, one blue, one green.
    3. Select the left blue one and hit delete.
    4. Now, select the green one, right click on it and select the top option "first play".
    5. Now drag your QT from the browser and drop it on top of the green monitor.
    6. Now, for a DVD from an HD source, look to the right side and select the "general tab" in the track editor, and see the Display Mode, and select "16:9 pan-scan."
    7. Hit the little black and yellow burn icon at the top of the page and put a a DVD in when prompted. DVDSP will encode and burn your new DVD.
    THATS ALL!!!
    NOW...if you want a GOOD LOOKING DVD, instead of taking your REF movie into DVD SP, instead take it into Compressor and choose the BEST QUALITY ENCODE (2 pass VBR) that matches your show timing.  Then take THAT result into DVD SP and follow the rest of the steps.  Except you can choose "16:9 LETTERBOX" instead of PAN & SCAN if you want to see the entire image.

  • Convert Back to OLE Variant

    Example VI attached.
    I aquire an image from a fingerprint reader, extract the template (digital way of uniquely identifying people), and save the template to disk.  Later, I acquire a new image, extract the template, and use the appropriate ActiveX method to compare the template against the stored version.  The template is OLE Variant, which cannot be stored to binary file.  If I store the Variant as an array of U8's instead, I am able to retrieve the U8's from the file, and convert to LabVIEW Variant.  The ActiveX method compares correctly, but sluggishly.  Any way to convert back to OLE Variant?

    I'd like to focus on saving and retrieving OLE Variant data.  The methods used to compare fingerprints (i.e. IdentifyPrepare and Identify in my example) work properly and rely on other settings (threshold and rotation tolerance), so I'd rather not architect my own.  (Thank you for your comment, Mike).

  • 3700 AP - Best way to convert back from Autonomous to LIghtweight

    I have a 3700 AP that I have up & running as Autonomous. I recently got a 2504 WLC and would like to put the AP back to Lightweight and run it from the 2504.  
    The 2504 is running 8.0.110.0 code and I have the current 3700 Lightweight Recovery image and IOS downloaded as well. 
    I have done done some searches and most of he articles are conversion to Autonomous. Not much is out there for putting it back. Some articles just mention needing the Lightweight  recovery image while others state I can use the Mode button and just have a TFTP server running  in a specific subnet and the AP will "pull" down the code and convert back.  Almost all of the articles refer to old model APs...
    Looking for clarity in the process as I certainly don't want to brick this 3700 AP. 
    Thx. 

    Hi
    You can use either methods & it will work (even for 3700)
    If you using mode button method, make sure you rename the recovery image something like this ap3g2-k9w7-tar.default. Refer this post for detail
    http://mrncciew.com/2013/12/13/ap-conversion-using-mode-button/
    Normal method is described here

  • PSD to JPEG - Converts back after closing.....

    Trying to convert photo from .psd to .jpeg.   I "flatten the layers" and "save as" jpeg......but as soon as i close out of image and then reopen it converts back to .psd???? Can anyone help?

    Okay, so you are using some version of Photoshop Elements?
    In PE Organizer find your file that you just saved and right-click on it. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of window that pops up and select "show properties." This will tell you what format it is. Also, when you "save as" make sure that you are including it in Organizer, otherwise you will not see it and will only find your .psd file. Alternatively, you could search for wherever it is saved on your hard drive and double-click it to open it.

  • Converting BACK to 64 bit in CS5

  • How to convert back to v10.7 Lion

    I am using 10.8.2 Moutian Lion
    but i would like to convert back to v10.7
    Reason for this is my sims 3 does not play well as all on the new update
    I would like to have Moutain Liom on macintosh HD (350GB)
    then 10.7 on Macintosh HD 2 (Mounted Patition) (Second Volume 150GB)
    or if anyone knows a way i can play my sims without crashing help

    Hold down the Command+Option+r key at startup, hold those key down until you see a Spinning Globe in the center of the screen (If you let them up before you see the globe the computer will either boot normally or to the built in Recovery HD partition). That will boot the computer from the Online Internet Recovery system where you can Re-Install Lion 10.7.5 on your other partition. When the computer boots from the Internet select Reinstall Mac OS X, and underneath that is should say "Reinstall Lion OS X on your Mac" or something similar. Click on that and click the Continue button. When it starts POINT i the install to the second partition on your drive (that is if you have already created it).
    It is best to have the system WIRED, Ethernet cable, to your router as WiFi will work but any WiFi drop outs will cancel the download and install.
    Good Luck and Best Wishes.
    P.S.
    I to have gone back to Lion but stilll have Mt Lion and Snow Leopard installed on separate partitions. IMHO Lion just runs better then Mt Lion. Mt Lion is just to iOSish for me.

  • Transferring an HTML back to Captivate 6

    Last year we had a consulting company come in and help us create some lessons in Captivate 6.0.  Some of the lessons they created are now out of date and we need to update/revise them.  I have the original Captivate file for all of them except one.  It was the first lesson they created and for some reason, I never got the original file.  I can't contact them without them billing me for their time so I'm stuck.  I'm trying to move the lesson to another location but the only thing I have is where they published it as an html document.  Is there any way to convert the html document back into a Captivate format so I can edit/republish it? Or can I import it like I can PowerPoint documents? I don't want to have to reshoot the whole lesson since it is rather complicated. 
    Thanks

    Sometimes it's just worth the cost to bite the bullet and pay them to supply you with the source files.
    However, in almost all contracts I have worked on the clients saw the source files as THEIR PROPERTY by virtue of the fact that they had paid me to create them.  Inevitably, even though I always give the client the source files at the end of the project, they tend to lose them from time to time and ring up asking if I still kept my own copies (which I always do).  But since the files technically belong to them anyway,  could never charge mor than a small handling fee to send the files via courier or upload them somewhere for them to download.
    My advice would be to contact the developers and beg for mercy.  You never know, but they might be more than willing to just hand over the files.  If they want to be unreasonable, trot out the wording of that contract where it states that all intellectual property belongs to you, and vaguely talk about "contacting legal" to ge it sorted.

  • Converting PPT to Captivate File Size - why is is increasing?

    I have Captivate 7 - 64 bit. I am trying to convert several .pptx presentations. Each presentation is around 60 MB. Strangely, though, when I convert them, they are increasing in size to 320 MB or thereabouts. A few months back we did this same thing with a 70 mb presentation and it only increased by 20 MB. Any ideas on why this would be or how to keep it smaller? I still have to input audio and that is going to make this file huge!
    Thanks in advance,
    Arthur

    Hi there
    Are you using the option for "High Fidelity"? I suppose that might account for it. Additionally, what about animations? If you have animations, perhaps that also accounts for it.
    If you really want to ensure the file size is as small as possible, you might consider using what I call "The Camtasia Approach" for PowerPoint. You essentially launch the PowerPoint in presentation mode, then record it using Captivate. Just as you might record another application.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Decompile/convert swf to captivate file?

    Is there any way to convert or decompile a captivate swf back
    to a captivate project file?
    I know SWFs can be decompiled to FLAs, is there any other way
    around this?
    Short story is... I have a corrupt file and want to save as
    much work as possible (it was a long presentation).
    I've tried to create a blank project of the same size and
    importing the slides... but it would not allow me to do that.
    Thanks

    You can probably use any of the swf decompilers to convert
    your swf to
    Flash. I've no idea if you can then further convert it to a
    Captivate
    format - but I'm not aware of a method right now. But once
    converted to
    Flash you should have access to all your assets.

  • How to convert back from UTF8 to ISO-8859-1 encoding?

    hi,
    I have a bunch of XML files which were wrongly encoded, and we lost all our accent characters.
    ie: é become é
    so how can I recover my XML files using powershell?
    so I want to change all the UTF8 ecoded characters back to the original ISO accent character
    é -> é
    I try this:
    1")
    $utf8 = [System.text.Encoding]::UTF8
    $utfBytes = $utf8.GetBytes("é")
    $isoBytes = [System.text.Encoding]::Convert($utf8, $iso, $utfBytes)
    $iso.GetString($isoBytes)
    but doesnt works.
    so is there a way to do this in powershell?
    I have to scan hundreds of files...
    thanks.

    You can't.  UTF-8 strips all of the information from the characters so you cannot know which characters are which.  If you know which characters you need to fix (requires knowing the spelling of the words) you could possible develop an matrix of
    replacements. There is no simple one line method.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • RGB color space in LR3 - does it convert back to sRGB on export?

    First off, I've only had LR3 for two days so I am a complete novice. I've been reading my book and just came across the part about RGB color space. I shoot with and use sRGB, which apparently LR will recognize. However, it states that the develop module uses Lightroom RGB. My question is, when I export my edited photos to PSE8 (or to a folder on my desktop to save and email for my daughter's business), does it export them back as sRGB? I know there is a lot of controversy over the whole RGB thing, but after my research on the matter, I have decided that sRGB is the best for my particular situation. I'm just making sure I don't have to check something or convert them back if they don't automatically change out of LightroomRGB.

    ColeeLou2,
    Some additional thoughts to what has been said already:
    I shoot with and use sRGB, which apparently LR will recognize.
    The color space you chose on your camera (sRGB, AdobeRGB) only affects the JPEG rendering in your camera. It does not affect the RAW file, as a RAW file is not in any color space. Upon import of a RAW into LR, it will be rendered in a ProPhoto RGB color space with an sRGB tone curve (Jao will correct me if I'm wrong ) for use within LR.
    My question is, when I export my edited photos to PSE8 (or to a folder on my desktop to save and email for my daughter's business),
    I would suggest using an sRGB color space upon export for external uses (like emailing to your daughter), but use ProPhotoRGB when going into PSE in external edit. This way you will have all the color information possible available in PSE, and PSE will recognize the ProPhotoRGB color space.
