Converting Oracle UPK files to Adobe Captivate

Hello, my company needs to convert Oracle UPK files into Adobe Captivate files. We are changing systems and we don't want to remake all of our training simulations again. Does anyone know of a software program that can convert upk files into adobe captivate files?(basically, dhtml(for upk) into swf(for captivate).
Also, I've read the captivate uses cptx and upk uses odarc, these would be the collection of individual files that make up swf and dhtml, respectively...I assume. Any converter for any of these files would be nice?

I've never heard of a converter to do this. I hate to break the bad news, but if Captivate is your desired tool, then you'll just need to recreate your courses in Cp.

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera'

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?

DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now?

Adobe Captivate 4 files in Adobe Captivate 3?

Hi this might seem like a simple question,
Is it possible to open Adobe Captivate 4 files in Adobe Captivate 3?
Thanks guys!

Hi Manish
I tend to disagree with this. Think of Microsoft Office products. For example, Microsoft Word. Many folks have been accustomed to having the ability to use a newer version of Word to Save As an older version format which could then be easily edited on a different PC in the older version.
I can see a real use case for this capability with Captivate. Perhaps you have a large organization that has a multitude of Captivate copies. Most are on 3 and they cannot upgrade all PCs at the moment. So they add perhaps three licenses and all they are able to purchase are version 4. Suddenly you have a mismatch!
Something for you developers to consider.
Cheers... Rick

How to convert Oracle *.dmp files into something that SQL can read ?

Is there a method I can use to convert Oracle *.dmp files into .txt files? .xls files or something??
Any and all suggestions appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi
you can't convert your .dmp file into text or xls file though you can see the contents of your .dmp file using parameter SHOW=Y in your import command. It will just show the contents of .dmp file and will not import the objects.

Published EXE file Error-Adobe captivate 4

Hi,
I'm having problems with publishing an EXE file in Adobe captivate 4. I know it has something to do with our internet browser settings, we are a Court location and we have strict settings, but I'm wondering if there are work arounds through adobe captivate. See error below:
-allowing active content such as script and ActiveX controls can be useful, but active content might also harm your computer. Are you sure you want to let this file run active content? Y/N
-Help protect security, internet explore has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer, click here for options.
If you just select yes and proceed the captivate file runs fine and you can complete the training. Our goal is to be able to publish in this format because it's more stable than the PDF or HTML option but we don't want users to experience this error from the start.
Thanks for helping with my questions!

Hi, I've been trying to attach an image for the error message we get but not matter what I do it gives me an error and won't let me attach the image. Any suggestions or do you have an email I can send them too. The error message may be a little different than what I sent previously, it seems to give a different error message on different computers. But we are currently trying to create a new release of our training program so this should be the most current error message and the error message people will see when they open it on their PC's. Anyway this is what it says:
First Error Message:
File Download-Security Warning
Do you want to run or save this file?
Name: BasicCORIS_AttachAnAttorney.exe (name of our file)
Type: Application, 9.27MB
From: C:/CourtsOnlineTraining\Program Files\Dist....
Run Save Cancel (we select run, than you get next error message)
While files from the Internet can be useful, this file type can potentially harm your computer. If you do not trust the source, do not run or save this software. What's the risk?
Second Error Message:
Internet Explorer- Security Warning
The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?
Name: BasicCORIS_AttachAnAttorney.exe
Publisher: Unknown Publisher
Run Don't Run
This file does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher. You should only run software from publishers you trust. How can I decide what software to run?
I hope this makes sense. Let me tell you a little more about how our training is set up. We load the training on to a USB stick that includes a menu, the training modules, and a shortcut. Once the USB is downloaded on to the users PC they can select a shortcut icon for the training. Once they select the training shortcut it opens a menu that they can select training from. When they select on the desired training this is when they would receive these error messages. Our current release is in a HTML format, but because of this format the training interacts with the web browser and causes us problems so we were hoping to publish in exe and the training wouldn't open in a web browser.
Let me know if you have further questions or if I've just confused the situation more. Again thanks for your help!

Publishing files in Adobe Captivate

Hello,
My product is actually Adobe Captivate, as the select your
product option is not working on your support portal, Im submitting
the case under Flash. Please feel free to redirect to the concerned
department.
I am a technical writer and currently I need to create demos
of my company. I have created a demonstration file and I have used
skin on the demo (project>>skin>>BMP Playback>>
Steel).
The thing is when I publish this file, I get 3 outputs:
1. A file that opens in browser
2. A flash file without skin
3. A flash file with the skin
The problem is I cant upload all the 3 files in my system,
and when I try to upload the flash file with skin it doesn't work
(just displays the BMP skin).
Is there anyway I can upload the file or is there a method to
combine the flash file with and without skin?
I tried exporting my demo to flash but the options all
changed. I have a deadline to meet so would apperciate a speedy
response.

I'm sure there are other forum posts about this out there but
I think this is how you do it.
In Captivate go to the Project menu and open the Skin Editor.
On the Borders tab you need to switch off borders.
I think this should give you one file when you output but you
will have to check whether the skin now covers part of your
presentation.
If so you may need to resize your project height to include
the height of the playback control. Go to Project > Resize
project.
Hope this helps.

Trouble Importing PowerPoint 2003 file into Adobe Captivate 3

I am using Adobe Captivate 3 and am having difficulty importing a owerPoint 2003 file. The file has 26 slides but Captivate only recognizes 17 of them. The powerpoint file has no transitions or animations set that would cause any issues. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?
By the way when I open up Powerpoint and import the slides from my original file and do not keep the source formatting, the end file will be come into captivate fine(all 26 slides) but an animation that was not there originally now exists.

Hi there
You could try just running the PowerPoint and recording it from Captivate as it plays.
You would also want to report the issue as a bug.
Cheers... Rick

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.

Linking video files with Adobe Captivate

Hi good people
I am preparing a video for Youtube and I have two components. The first is a video of me talking to the camera in MOD format (which can be changed to a WMV file by changing the extension - this does not seem to affect the playing of the video).
The second is a screen capture made with the trial version of Captivate 5 which demonstrates how to use certain functions on my website.
What I need to do is to join the two files together in a format that I can then upload to Youtube in a single movie, but I cannot find any way of converting one of the files to the other format or importing both into a separate program altogether so the end result can be exported in a format that Youtube will understand.
I am using Windows XP.
Any suggestions would be very gratefully received.
Thanks
Will

Photos converted to pdf files by Adobe 9.0??

I am a rookie user.
I recently downloaded Adobe 9.0 per a prompt on my PC.
I went in today to look at some photos that I have had on this PC for about a year - save in standard 'folder-file-jpeg' format.
Somehow, and I did not do this since I would not know how - 4 of my vacation photo folder had been converted to Adobe pdf files. That's about 1000 photos.
This is not what I want - and not the format I use.
How can I get them back to jpegs and stop this from happening again.
Thanks,
Ken

Berndt and David,
Thanks for trying to help me.
I have checked the following:
1. Photos in question now have a .pdf file extension.
2.I recently downloaded Acrobat.com, Adobe Air, Adobe reader 9.0 and Adobe Flash Player Active X.
3. I went to Control Panel, Folder Option and had 3 tabs to choose from: 1. General 2. View 3. Search.
I reviewed each option under the 3 tabs and I did not find an option to change or do anything with file extensions such as .jpeg, etc.
4. My OS is Vista Home.
Please advise next steps or some idea on what I can do, try, chcek on for you, etc.
Many thanks! I am grateful.

I cannot convert my .cr2 files in Adobe DNG

Hello,
Can someone help me with my problem before I loose this client.
I've recently started using the Canon 60D to shoot videos and take pictures. Since I've started using the 60D I was able to land a client who needs pictures taken for his clothing store. I understand that taking RAW pictures are better than JPEG so I am just now experiencing RAW. However I've come across a problem that I cannot find a solution to. I currently own Photoshop CS4 and I do not have the means right now to upgrade to CS5. Photoshop does not recognize my .cr2 files and I later downloaded Adobe DNG 6.4 to convert my files. DNG does not recognize my files, since then Ive removed it and downgraded to DNG 6.3 and it still does not recognize my files.
I've tried everything imaginable and nothing seems to work. I've tried dragging and dropping my pics into the Adobe DNG icon, moving my pics to my C drive, downloading Canon RAW codec which then turned my files into a unrecognizable data file and I had to reupload my pictures from the camera again. I do not have a CD-ROM for my camera because it is not mine, but someone elses who is letting me use it for business. I have to show this client the pictures by Tuesday and if I do not have this problem resolved by then I could loose this client and all of this hard work was for nothing. Please help, Thank you.

According to the readme file, the 60D was not supported in ACR 5.7 which was the last version created that is compatible with Photoshop CS4. If you are not in a position to upgrade to Photoshop CS5 then download the latest DNG converter (currently version 6.4) and convert your raw images to DNG files. Then make you will be able to open those with what you have.

Converting Microsoft Works file to Adobe

Does anyone else have this word processing software and tried
to convert files? If so, how did you get file to convert?

Hello mvshorte,
Thanks for your post!
I would suggest as a first option, to see if you can open
these files in Works, and export them out as another file format,
before converting the files with Acrobat.com
Here is a link to the help file page, with
supported
formats for conversion

Cannot access 'Help' files in Adobe Captivate v5.0.1.625

Running WinXp\SP3 & IE7. Dual Core with 4 GB RAM, When trying to access 'Help' Captivate temporarily freezes. I can access other web links within the program. No error messages appear, program just resumes. Also applied the latest patch for Captivate 5.

Hi
Lilybiri is absolutely right. The Help in CP is AIRHelp. So have you already installed AIR?
I believe now you have installed CP in your own PC and you are doing this for the first time and you are unable to access HELP file, so you should check in your PC that wheteher the AIR is installed or not?
If you have installed CP in the default drive (C:\Program Files\) there inside the common files (C:\Program Files\Common Files) you will find the folder for AIR.
So just make sure is that installed in your PC or not?

Can't Open Adobe Captivate 4 File in Captivate 5.5

Hi,
Anything special I should try or be aware of?
Whenever I try to open my 2008 Captivate 4 files in Captivate 5.5, I get the familiar can't-do-that-for-some-reason error message. (The one that suggests the file is already opened, or it was unzipped badly, not enough memory, and so forth.) Since Captivate 5.5 removes the import feature, I can't try that.
So far, I've tried running it with nothing else open on my computer (I have 10 GB of RAM), made sure to empty the cache first, and so forth.
In desperation, I'm also redownloading 4 now and giving that a try, but any other suggestions would be great.

Notes for future searchers... here is how I solved this problem.
Short Answer: Open the file in 4, resave it, and it opened in 5.5.
Long Answer:
I downloaded Adobe Captivate 4. Fortunately, I had my license active and registered here on the Adobe site. Installation of Adobe Captivate 4 on Windows 7 was a bit weird... it asked me to reinstall Flash which I already had installed, it insisted that Adobe Captivate was currently open, and so forth. I let it reinstall Flash and I rebooted, and 4 was good to go. I made sure to install Captivate 4 in a custom location, not wanting to overwrite any resources or other things in the Adobe folder for 5.5. Then I opened the old file. It actually performed some kind of update thing when I did this, which leads me to believe that I was formerly working with a less-than-latest version of 4 or maybe even 3! Once it completed, I saved it as a new Adobe Captivate 4 file. Then I was able to open THAT file with Adobe Captivate 5.5, and save a new file again.
For some reason, fonts didn't carry over. So I reset them in all my captions, and then recompiled successfully.
