Export PDF in Captivate 5 and Publishing CP4 project in CP5

When I publish flash (swf) videos in CP4, I always tick the "Export PDF" option to also get the PDF version - and then offer the PDFs for download as an alternative to watching online (or send them via e-mail).
I have learned to live with the fact that the PDF version - sadly - becomes somewhat blurred. But now, as I am trial testing CP5, I see that besides blurring, the video in PDF gets also distorted - if this is a good word for it: As the software screens change in the video (I record software demonstrations), the new screens show some left over graphics (mainly lines or points - as if remnants of borders of objects, lines, shadows, etc.) from the previous screen.
The similar thing happens when I publish CP4 projects with CP5 (which I want to do as the Neospeech voices sound much better in CP5) - I see the same leftover graphics, mainly in the full-motion segments.
Any suggestions on avoiding these issues?

Hello and welcome to the forum,
For this purpose you need Acrobat Pro, could you let me know if you have this app? It is coming with the eLearning suite. To export a Captivate file to pdf you do not need it.

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.

Barry

I purchased the Adobe Export pdf 10 hours ago and have not received the e-mail to confirm my address and password, then I can't use it!

The e-mail address is correct and I've consulted the inbox and the trashbox without result. And I don't know how to contact the seller Adobe...

Hi Jose,
After checking your account, I see that you purchased an ExportPDF subscription back in June (under the same email address that you use here in the forums). There are no other subscriptions under that email address.
But, you should be able to log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com using this email address and your password. If not, please let us know.

I'm using Captivate 8 and publishing courses to our LMS. As an end user, I can complete a course using IE, but not Chrome. Is there a setting that I am missing for other browsers?

I'm using Captivate 8 and publishing courses to our LMS, Cornerstone OnDemand. As an end user, I can complete a course using IE, but cannot complete the same course when using Chrome. Is there a setting that I am missing for other browsers?

guess what it says java file. So yes i'm sure. Sarcasm. Not the best way to encourage a total stranger to help you. Then there's
Sorry if i wasn't more clear but was that response needed?No it wasn't needed, but I'm not the one asking for help so I have the luxury of not worrying too much about it. It's extremely frustrating trying to drag relevant information out of someone, and makes one less inclined to bother.
Anyways, there's still nothing in this thread that actually explicitly says "there is a file called VolcanoApp.java in the directory where I'm running javac from" and I really can't be bothered banging my head against the wall any longer. You've made a silly mistake, or a false assumption. We all do it from time to time. My advice is, take a break, go for a walk and re-visit this in a while. You'll probably spot the mistake right away.

If you have charged for another year, please cancel that service and refund me as I did not request renewal for another year.

Please confirm.

Export PDF Workflow with Applescript and CS3

Hello,
I am setting up some PDF workflow with Applescript.
On a given moment, as my script runs and after getting some user-input answers to questions in some dialogs, my script tells InDesign CS3 to open the Export Adobe PDF window for the current document. I copied and pasted that small part of the script:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell document 1
export format PDF type to "Macintosh_HD:Test01.pdf" using "somePreset" with showing options
end tell
end tell
When you run this small part of my Applescript, InDesign opens the Export Adobe PDF window (as expected) waiting for me to click on "Export". That is exactly what I want, since the user is given here a last opportunity to change some values (for example page range, or spreads). When all is set, the user can click on Export to close the dialog and finish the script.
Problem: I was hoping that the Adobe PDF Preset "somePreset" would be selected in the first pull-down menu of the Export Adobe PDF window when this window is opened by the script. Unfortunately the last used preset is always selected by default. Anyone suggestions or help?
Kind regards,
Bertus Bolknak.

My operators enter the page range and filename into a dialog box. Then I set those in the script. I use the Press Quality preset to start with and then set the changes I want into a export variable. I set things like bleed, marks, page range, etc.
Here is an example:
set theProps to properties of PDF export preset "[Press Quality]"
try
delete PDF export preset "Schmidt PDF"
end try
set theStyle to {name:"Schmidt PDF", acrobat compatibility:acrobat 7, bleed top:"0.125i", bleed bottom:"0.125i", bleed inside:"0.125i", bleed outside:"0.125i", page marks offset:"0.125i", include ICC profiles:Include None, effective PDF destination profile:use no profile, effective PDF X profile:"No Color Conversion"} & theProps
make PDF export preset with properties theStyle
set properties of PDF export preferences to theStyle
set color bitmap sampling of PDF export preferences to none
set grayscale bitmap sampling of PDF export preferences to none
set page range of PDF export preferences to (item i of myPageList) as string
export document 1 format PDF type to (PrinergyFolder & myJobNumFinal & "_" & VerCode & ".pdf") as Unicode text without showing options
I am also doing this in Quark.

Captivate 7 and the Aggregator Project

I would like to know if I can build an aggregator project consisting of 7 modules in Captivate 7. Each module has its’ own quiz. Each quiz is scored seperately and reports score to the LMS seperately.
I tried this in Captivate 4 and 5, but could not get the individual scores to report to the LMS, only a score for a single test would report. Because my users are nurses, they have very limited amount of time available to take these courses. Currently, I build indiviual courses and post them requiring the nurses to access each course and registar seperately. If there are 7 modules, they have to make sure they registar for all 7, take all 7, and get all 7 results posted to their transcripts for continuing education credits. If I can combine them into 1 aggregator project, but still be able to have 7 different quizzies that all report to the LMS apon completion, this would lower the amount of time that our nurses have to spend finding, registering for, and taking multiple courses in our current environment. We can do it in Lectora, but the cost of the software and yearly license fees is very costly. To be able to do this in Adobe Captivate would allow us to keep our costs down in software, licenses, and human capital. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You need to build this course as a multi-SCORM package. The Aggregator tool is not for building SCORM courses for an LMS. Use the Adobe Multi-SCORM Packaging tool instead.

Difference between save and publish on project professional 2013

Dear Barbara
What's difference between save and/or publish tasks from project professional 2013 onto project server 2013 integrated with TFS?
For me its the same, if you exclude the integration with TFS in this scenario, that demands publishing, the tasks will be saved in project server anyway.
Its that right? Thank you.
Adauto

hi Adauto,
As a project owner when you create project plan from PWA or from Project Professional Once you save it means it will go to draft database and will be available to you in the server but you can not see it onto Project center.
Once you Click on Publish then project get publish and sits in publish database at the same time it will sync reporting database too. Once project get Publish then only all the team member who are associated with project will be able to see the project
in project center including you .
Also Users who are having either same RBS assigned to them or heigher to you will be able to see the project onto the project center.
Also All the resource will get notified and task assignment will be assigned to team members.
This is a same case for Project server with TFS integration and normal project server without TFS integration
Main Usability of Save is :
As a Project owner when you start Project scheduling you take time to finish it so everyday you can save it so that next day you can resume your work but in the middle of the scheduling work you wont want to show the data to your organization until- unless
you give it final touch .Once you complete it then only publish it so that it would be available to team members.

Captivate 1 and publishing SWF files

I have (registered) captivate 1.01 (build 1418 full
version). I have install it on several (3-4) laptops (replacements,
upgrades) and ... now have a client that requires this older
version for development. I can record the move, create exe files. I
can't just publish a swf file. Did I screw up my license somehow?
Do I have a virus? I need to create swf files to import into their
development tool (EEDO). HELP!!!!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Storybell
If you double-click the icon, does Windows prompt you for
what it should do with the file? If so, try choosing Internet
Explorer and see if it plays.

Captivate preview and publish text does not match slide. (Magic Shrinking Text)

The text size on the Captivate slide matches the PowerPoint. So far so good.
When I preview (or publish) the SCORM module, the text shows up as a smaller size and moved to the left. I don't understand why it doesn't match the original captivate slide. It seems like it's arbitrarily shrinking some of the text. (Other slides come across just fine.)

Export PDF creates 0kb file and Print Error.

By "Print Error", I mean a simple pop-up window with the pages logo and the sentence "Print. Error while printing" even though I haven't asked for anything to be printed. The resulting pdf file is zero k in size and useless.
I had this problem in iW '06 and thought that '08 might fix it. No dice though.
Deleating prefs did not fix the issue. ['06 or '08]
Anyone? Thanks.

I suspect that you've turned off a couple fonts with Font Book (or perhaps removed them from the Fonts folder). Pages expects certain fonts to exist - even if we don't use them or even want them.

Export pdf how to edit and save converted files

I finally was able to convert to docx format, but see no way to use the converted file. How can I edit and save in jpeg format?

Hi Chuck,
Please tell me what the problem is with the converted file. Are you unable to edit it, or did it not convert as you expected?
Can you tell me how the PDF was created? (Different applications write PDF files differently, and some aren't as good as others--that can affect conversion).
Best,
Sara

Multiple VOs triggered simultaneously in published cp4 project

I'm sure there's a thread or two already out here about this; if so, can someone plz steer me?
I've published a "daisy-chain" model project in Captivate 4... meaning I've broken a course into chapter "projects" and some of the larger chapters into sub-projects. Each project has an "end" slide. I can use this to add content to a sub-topic later if necessary, but each of them is currently set at 0.1 sec duration, and all just use the "on slide exit" command to open the next project in the series.
Each slide contains a swf animation, complete with VOs already embedded, inserted into a frameset, and a loop of background music runs under all the slides in that project. All animations are externalized.
Here's the issue: when I publish and launch the course in my LMS, the first slide of a project will randomly play the VO file for that slide, plus a duplicate of it, delayed slightly, or it will play the VO file for another slide further into the project, say slide 4 or 5. Since all the VOS are embedded into swfs, I assume that the entire unwanted swf is actually being triggered and is running in the background somehow.
I built a pause function, and so I can stop the audio of the "wanted" slide, and let the "unwanted" VO run its course. Then if I restart the slide (which is what my "un-pause" does), and the slide plays fine.
Is there a parameter setting that would keep multiple swfs from being triggered?
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks Softwater.
It is working great for me. I have expanded on this a little as well. I now have a login for my developer account where I do all my Apple development work. I even created one for my "games". Im just wondering what the limit is for the number of accounts that can be created in Lion.

Display runtime in published CP4 project

Hi all,
I've seen a couple questions about this but no solutions - at least none I could find.
Using CP4.
A client would like to see the runtime of the finished project at the bottom as the movie plays. I'm fairly confident there's no CP4 setting to make this happen, and I've checked the system variables with no luck.
Anybody know of a widget or other way to make this happen?
Thanks!
Ideally, the Playback Control settings would allow for this. By default, the playbar shows "slide" numbers - it would be great if we had the option for this to show runtime instead. Obviously, this is an enhancement request and not for the forum.... just typing my thoughts.

Hi there
If you are using a Table of Contents the duration is presented there.
Cheers... Rick
