Converted from PowerPoint - animation has extra click on each slide

I converted a PowerPoint 2003 presentation into Adobe Captivate 4. All works well except that on the published Captivate version there is one extra click at the end of each slide. For example, each slide may have 4 or 5 bullets, but after the last bullet point is displayed, you have to click twice before it moves onto the next slide. Is there a way to get rid of the extra required click? (The clicks are correct in PowerPoint).
Thanks.

I am having the same problem importing a PPT into Captivate 5.
When I imported, I made sure that the 'Advance Automatically' option was checked, and when I look at the timeline for the slides, there are no items that would make the slide pause.
When the slide finishes, it advances to the next slide, but immediately pauses. It won't continue until I press the Play button.
This problem mainly happens on slides that contain audio. (I've embedded the audio in the PPT file and tried importing the audio after it's been imported in CP5 -- same result.) There are a few imported PPT files that don't have any audio associated with it and it advanced without issue.
Help. This is driving me crazy!

How do I download all my songs from iCloud without having to click on each one?

I have two computers and I would like to have my iTunes library on both. How do I download all my songs from iCloud without having to click on each one?

Create a smart playlist with the criteria being location - not on this computer. Then select all, right click and download.

Displaying a caption when multiple click boxes has been clicked in a slide.

I have 9 click boxes in my slide which when clicked opens a different page except 1 click box.1 click box takes the user to the previous page . I want to display a text caption when the user has clicked other 8 click boxes just to make sure they go through all the pages. Is there a way in captivate to do this? If yes, how do I do it?

Since you are not yet familiar with advanced actions (and variables?), will try to explain in detail and provide some links to articles/blog posts as well.
Create 8 user variables, one for each click box (Project, Variables); I will label them v_one, v_two.....v_eight It is not necessary to give a default value
Create another user variable v_counter that will be incremented whenever a click box has been clicked for the first time
Create a first click box (set to visible), label it CB_One (find that easier) and in the Properties panel, Action accordion, On Success change the action to 'Execute Advanced actions'. Then open the actions dialog box with the Folder icon that appears.
You have to create a conditional action, so select that type, and label it CB_One (is possible, an exception because normally you cannot have same labels); this action will need two decisions (have a look at my video tutorial: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/858/cpsid_85847.html):
First decision 'Visited' checks if the click box has already been clicked, visible when the value of v_one = 1; if this is not the case (first click) v_one gets the value=1 and the counter v_counter is incremented
Second decision 'Check' checks the value of the counter, and shows an initially invisible button (I choose a button, BtNext but you can also have a click box) if the counter reaches 8, bummer the forum doesn't allow me to insert an image, have to type:
IF section v_counter is equal to 8
Actions section Show BtNext
Duplicate the click box 7 times, label them CB_Two, ..... CB_Eight (beware: case sensitivity). To each copy the same advanced action is attached, but you'll have to create duplicate actions for each one CB_Two.... In the duplicates you have to replace the variable v_one by the proper variable (v_two...) in the first decision; the second decision remains the same
Test.

Presentation converted from powerpoint not playing proper duration or recognising click boxes

Captivate 5.5 publishing a project coverted from a powerpoint, slides do not pause for the click box when published simply play for a second or two then move on? This is a presentation created originally in Cap 5 It worked perfectly. opening it to add some content and previewing in 5.5 is fine . only when and however it is published the slides do not wait for a click or play for set durations. Rather a random problem has anyone else encountered this and solved it.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
That is a whole bunch of questions in a terminology that is totally different from the Captivate terminology. I was wondering if you even have tried at least one tutorial coming with Captivate to have some idea of the way it works? I'm sure you can achieve this in Captivate, am prepared to help but, sorry to sound a bit rude, this is a user forum, not a Captivate training place. You can meet other users here that will try to help you, like you could help others.
All can be done in Captivate, I try to suggest solutions:
For the 'slide list' you can use the Table of Contents, either in separate or in overlay mode, group the slides and collapse the slide groups; in that way the user will only see the group names and if you allow Enable navigation he can use this TOC for navigation
You can import Powerpoint slides, I do not understand why they should play in a box? Do all the timing in Powerpoint and when importing choose the option to play Automatically
You can insert slide video (there is a fine tutorial about it), and eventually resize it and add Text captions.
It is not clear where or what you want with the Text Captions, on individual slides or on top of imported PPT slides ... Of course you can add Text Captions, even rollover Captions/Images or whole slidelets with all possible combinations
You can publish to a SWF-file that will get an accompanying HTML + JS-file and upload those on a webserver, a LMS. Or you can publish to a multimeda pdf.
My apologies if my remarks did offfend you,

Customer Statement Report converted from PLD to CR - extra datasource issue

Hi All,
We've come across an issue where we have used the Crystal Converter to convert a PLD layout of the Customer Statement (Collection) Report to a CR layout (done via CR 2008 using the 8.8 standard integration).
The layout converted fine and we've got most standard fields working and showing the correct values etc. However we had a requirement to also bring in the Original Document Amount into the layout (which is not a standard PLD field unfortunately!) and we had to do it via an extra datasource based on a pretty straightforward view we created in that company database - which contained columns CardCode, DocName (which was the transaction type + number e.g. IN 12345) and of course, DocTotal.
We then added the datasource (via ADO connection) and linked the DocName to the Reference field that is already present in the standard layout and contains the same data as our cutom DocTotal - and remarkably, this actually produced the correct results - i.e. we managed to get the Original Document Amount to appear in the lines of the statement together with the open invoice balance, reference, posting date, due date etc - however this seems to affect the other areas of the layout - and we lose the header and footer information completely; whilst retaining only the lines level information.
We've tried a few things such as linking the CardCode to a header field as well but it doesn't seem to bring the rest of the layout back. So in a nutshell, as soon as we bring that extra field in from the added datasource, we get the correct original document amount appearing in the lines but that's all we see in a print preview - the line level data of the statement. The header and footer information disappears.
And here is the big question - any thoughts on this and has anybody experienced a similar problem in an integrated CR? We think it may possibly be due to the extra datasource - perhaps the 8.8 - CR integration doesn't know how to handle the additional datasource AND it's own standard datasource (which is referencing the PLD fields) properly yet?
Thoughts please because I'm sure this will turn into a common issue sometime soon.

Hi Mohsen,
Perhaps you are able to help me.
I have successfully converted the SAP system 'Customer Collection Report (One Page per Customer)' PLD into Crystal using the Crystal converter. I now run my customer ageing report in SAP, however, when i print preview the Crystal layout, the "detail" section of the report repeatedly displays the "text" label of each field. I'm assuming this is because the system PLD for the collection report, does not use database fields for the detail/repetetive area - instead it uses text fields to pull through fields such as document no etc etc.
I would have throught that a crystal conversion from an untouched system layout would have worked, but it hasn't.
My question - Did you have to perform any additional work to the crystal report after the conversion?
Any suggestions or tips on how to get the system would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
George Kantzavelos

Multiple images are blocky when converting from powerpoint to PDF?

Heres my problem:
If I have a powerpoint with ONE image (be it jpeg, gif, png, etc) they apper fine when you convert the document to PDF (via print>Print to PDF or by using the Acorbat plug in in Powerpoint).
BUT
If I have 2 or more images in a powerpoint slide, the images appear blocky and sections of the images are missing. I tried to ungroup the photos and group the photos yet I get the same result. Anyone know how to correct this??
The images were originally created in Adobe Illustrator. There must be a setting in Illustrator or Powerpoint that is causing this problem but I cant figure it out.
Thanks

Correction, it appears to be a problem with the CROP button in Powerpoint. I have a PNG file and it has two images (a map and a legend) on one png. When I crop it to only show ONE image (either the map or the legend) it makes it become blocky. So weird.

What is the best way to convert from PowerPoint 2007 to PDF?

Greetings people,
In PowerPoint 2007 I know you can convert to a PDF by way of printing, save as or from the Adobe menu. However, these produce different results.
Is there a reason for this? Can settings be changed to ensure the results are the same regardless of what method is used?
Is there a rule of thumb on which method is best?
Thank you, Jean

A lot depends on what you are after. If you use the printer, you will likely need to use a custom page setting to fill out the page properly and not leave spaces on the sides. I think the standard PPT page is 8.5X10, not 11. PDF Maker (or the Save As Adobe PDF) in PPT sets the size appropriately when I have used it. PDF Maker also adds links and such as appropriate, but the printer does not. Your other option is to use the Save As PDF or XPS which is the MS conversion.
When I tested, the print did go to an 8.5X11 with a border to fit on the page. The other three techniques created the PDF in the same page size as the PPT. The PDF maker and Acrobat menu methods gave the same results, but the file was about 2X the size of the MS method. I did not check the properties that created this different size, but you would have to look at the different options for the creation and see how they compare. The Adobe approach can be kept small also, but may not have used the same options as the MS approach.
If there were links, then the print will not embed these links and bookmarks, but the other techniques will. Maybe that helps some.

Images not appearing on slide when converted from Powerpoint to Keynote

My Pastor's Powerpoint slides converted nicely to Keynote except 2 pictures at the top of one slide. He saved just that slide as a separate ppt file and I could see the images in the thumbnail, but they're gone when it's opened in Keynote. I'm thinking a layering problem, but I'm new to iMac and Keynote. Any suggestions?

Hi Lilybiri,
I have (again) requested my IT dept to take a look at what is going on.
If they cannt/wont help, then I may well take up Rick's very kind offer.
The more I think about it, the more I believe my problem(s) stem from having to link up to Adobe when working on-line.
It takes about 30 seconds from the time I open the initial Captivate start screen (attached) before any of the links become active.
That strikes me as way too long and might be the cause of the problem.
Any idea if this "link to Adobe" can to turned off? What do I need the link for anyway...day to day?

Moving Animated Images from Powerpoint to keynote

Hi
I'm just getting into using Keynote as i have just starting lecturing
All the lecture files i have been given are Powerpoint Presentations
I have converted all of them to Keynote but i am having a bit of a problem with one
It has an image which when you play back the slideshow in powerpoint it is animated
The image is not a photo image I think it is a Flash image but i'm not sure as i cannot track down the maker of the PP file & i cannot find any info about it as the only place i can see it is in the PP presentation & that doesn't give too much away either
I'm probably not giving you enough info about it but its as much as i can come up with myself
The question is as you have probably worked out is how can i take the image from the PP presentation & put it into the Keynote Presentation with the animation working in Keynote
Thanks for your time

Great Question! The answer is not as great. From my previous work the only way I have gotten good results is to open powerpoint and keynote then copy/paste each slide over and build the transitions I want into the presentation. This has been the only way to get the results I wanted.
Hope this helps.

After upgrade from 34 to 35, control click still opens new tab but new tab won't load upon selection. i have to click address and press enter or click go

I've used Firefox for many years, I really like it and have been readily recommending it to others.
However after finally upgrading to 35.0.1 from 34.x I now have a very annoying and time-consuming issue.
So much so that I'm thinking of attempting a downgrade!
I didn't really want to upgrade but Firefox kept bothering me and I inadvertently accepted. Is there a way to switch this upgrade reminder off?
Anyway, previously I would Ctrl-click a link and it would open a new tab but not jump to it. It would remain unloaded until I clicked it. Then it would load as normal.
After the upgrade, I Ctrl-click a link and it still opens a new unloaded tab. So far, so good. Now however, when I click the new unloaded tab, it just sits there and does nothing. I have to click the URL in the address bar and either press <Enter> or click the 'Go' arrow.
I use this feature sometimes 100s of times a day so this is extremely annoying as it adds considerable time and extra clicks to each new link I click.
I'm wondering if it could be a problem with one of my plugins. Can I temporarily disable them all at once to see if that's it?
I will try disabling the tab related plugins.
I've tried toggling 'Don't load tabs until selected' on the Tabs page from Tools menu, Options.
Any help would be thoroughly appreciated as I would like to return to being a Firefox Fan

It is unlikely this issue is to do with Firefox upgrading. Firefox 36 will come out any day soon you should then be on that rather than considering an outdated Firefox 34 which is now not secure, and not supported.
* See don't [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
You have not listed your plugins, and Yes you could try using Firefox's add-on manager to make sure they are all set as click to activate or even temporarily set as never activate.
I am not familiar with the add-on
* UnloadTab 0.24.7 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unloadtab/
That certainly may be part of the problem try deactivating that with Firefox's addon manager. For all I know this may be the intended behaviour of that addon.
Also troubleshoot the issue with Firefox's safe mode, remembering that does NOT disable plugins you will still need to do that manually.
* [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
Please post back with how you get on and what you have tried, Including upgrading to Firefox 36 when that is available.

Presenter 10 and Upgrade of PowerPoint From PowerPoint 2007 to PowerPoint 2010

When converting from PowerPoint 2007 to PowerPoint 2010 I imagine that Presenter 10 needs to be uninstalled and re-installed. Correct?
Any know issues with the above?
Thank you.

Hi There,
Yes you need to uninstall Adobe Presenter first before upgrading your Office as Presenter is an addin to the PowerPoint. As such there is no issues using Presenter 10 in Office 2010.

Can I convert a ppt file to a PDF at two slides to the page with PDF Pack?

I want to convert a ppt file to a pdf at two slides to the page, rather than one slide to the page. I can do this witha printer. How do I do this with pdf pack?

Hi sandyd,
When you convert from PowerPoint to PDF via Adobe PDF Pack, it will convert each slide in the deck to a page in the PDF file. Unfortunately, there is no way to change that.
Best,
Sara

How do I convert from pdf to word? I see an option to do so, however, when I click on it, Ia box opens...

when I try to convert from pdf to word, a box opens and suggests I am to click on (select) the file I want to convert. It sounds all well but it does not work. I really really just want my files back in word, all of them, no matter, because after having to reinstall windows 7 (done by techs) and me having to re-download all my HP drivers, and tools, and other software, which I imagine included adobe reader, now I see some pdf files won't open. It says, "access denied" and boy that really makes me wantt o scream. I am the ONLY user, it is my notebook, I am the administrator so I can't figure out why some files open and some don't. I can't ascertain any difference.
I would be grateful for any help. This has become just too exhausting. After reinstalling sooooooooo much, then to have to go through this with what is a free application? I say I think not.
This should NEVER happen with any free application and boy there is NO help to be found. They blow you off the phone fast telling you it's a free application. Then why are you putting in this kind of stuff that it won't open? This is NOT a shared notebook, it's mine. I am the only user, personal use.
HP probook, if anyone needs that info.
Please, will someone help?
I would be so grateful.
thanks,
Gina

Gee, Pat, this is a real big help.
Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
Take Ownership of a File or Folder
The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
Thanks for the help. Have a great year.
