Filling out a form demo

What is the best way in Adobe Captivate to demonstrate filling out a form with Narration? I have several pdf forms that are interactive and I want to be able to narrate as I record live action movements. I used the software simulation setting and it ended up looking choppy and confusing. I'm in the process of a trial download of Captivate and I'd like to have this some what figured out before I decide to purchase it. I bought a subscription to Lynda.com to try and understand a little more but it wasn't too much help. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi there
Typically those are done by narrating at the same time as you use the software. (I recently created some of these for a different company. A Lynda competitor)
As you might imagine, it's often like filming a motion picture and you end up with many "takes" to get just the right one.
Cheers... Rick

  • Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

    Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

    It's our internal applicant tracking systems (resume database). It works fine in IE and all previous verisons of FF but in FF 7 a bubble icon pops up stating that "Please fill out this field".
    The field is not required but states "Require all of these words" if you to run a search based on those parameters.

  • I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported with the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the new version before using the older version?

    I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported to input info from the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the newer version before using the older version? If so, how do I delete the new version and install the older version?

    If you just need it for one site you can use the portable version of Firefox 2 instead. You can install the portable version on a USB key, or if one is not available choose the custom install and install it somewhere on your hard drive. The portable version will not interfere with your current version of Firefox. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - the link for Firefox 2.0.0.20 is near the bottom of that page.

  • Filling out a form in adobe reader

    Im filling out a form in adobe reader for a scholarship. It was going well until I hit a certain section. Instead of typing the words horizontally, it was typing them vertically. Is there any easy way to fix this? I dont want to have to handwrite the entire thing.
    Thanks

    That's an interesting form. It looks like it started out as an XFA form that was created in LiveCycle Designer, and somehow converted to an acroform on a Mac. Whatever the process was resulted in setting the rotation on some of the field to 90 degrees. As Mike said, there's nothing you can do about it with just Reader.
    If you had Acrobat, you could set the proper rotation for the fields. If you really want to do this and don't have Acrobat, you can install the trial version of Acrobat 10. Or you could try contacting the creator of the form and get them to fix it.

  • A word document was emailed to me.  I can open the document without a problem.  Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form?  When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.

    A word document was emailed to me.  I can open the document without a problem on my iPad 2.   Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form?  When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.

    If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

  • Problem filling out a form exported from pdf to docx.

    I "successfully" exported a pdf form to word docx.  The form looks exactly like the original.  However, when I attempt to fill in the blanks (which are large)  the text gets dropped in vertically e.g.  first name la
                                                    st name (on a lower line).  I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.  Filling out this form is urgent, and the only reason I purchased this program.  Any advice will be appreciated.

    Hi Catherine,
    I'd like to assist!
    The file may have converted as an image, possibly due to poor quality.
    Are you able to bring the words together by utilizing your 'back' key?
    Let me know how it goes if you try converting it again.
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

    When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

    You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
    Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names.

  • When filling out a form, when I type in information in one field, move to the next and begin typing,

    Hey gregery,
    Please let me know what Acrobat version are you using.
    Also, go to File> Properties> Security and check whether form filling is allowed or not as shown below:

  • I am filling out a form that requires me to put a passport photo using Adobe Reader.

    I am filling out a form that requires me to put a passport photo using Adobe Reader.
    However, when I click on the square to insert the photo, a screen pops up telling me to "select a PDF file and import it as an image" and just an "OK" button to press.
    When running the debugger, I get NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method. Field.buttonImportIcon:6:Field Click here to add a photo:Mouse Up. Any way around it? Below is the problem I'm talking about.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I've converted  photos into pdf format and it still won't allow me to insert the photo. I wouldn't know whether it'd be too large or small since I cannot insert it in the first place.
    "Warning: Javascript Windows: Select the PDF file to import this button as an image" is the message that keeps appearing. I can't seem to find anything related to this.

  • Filling out a form scanned to PDF

    Is this Possible? I would like to be able to fill out this form that I scanned to pdf...while it is still in the computer, then print it out completed so I can mail it off. I just can not seem to figure this out, please help!

    This isn't a question about PDF Specifications; this really seems to
    be about software.
    If you have Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Professional, the answer is
    yes. Please ask in the Acrobat Windows or Acrobat Macintosh forum.
    if you have Adobe Reader only the answer is no.... but you also have
    some software to scan to PDF, so see if that has a forum.

  • In filling out a form with a list of names, is there a way to sort it, such as an alpha sort?

    Is there a way to sort names in adobe?  Such as when filling out a form?
    Or should I just give up and do the industry standard and use excel?

    Reader cannot do what you want. Yes you can use Excel, Numbers, and a dozen other spreadsheets. Or you can use database software (I tend to use FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Go, but there are many other choices), you can also use Form software (which again is just a simple database).

  • Unable to fill out interactive form fields in the pdf form.

    I'm unable to fill out interactive form fields in the pdf tax form in Reader 11.0.06 with purple bar inviting to do so.

    The only Flash Player that is remotely connected to Adobe Reader is the plugin.
    Can you temporarily uninstall the plugin (or both ActiveX and plugin using http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html and see if the problem disappears?
    Reinstall both using these installers http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_text_4

  • How do I fill out a form already converted from pdf to word

    how do I fill out a form i converted from pdf to a word doc?

    What kind of "form" is it?  A .pdf or .doc file?
    Generally I would save the file somewhere (desktop or document folder).  There is a save button for attachments in mail's header section.  Then open the file with an appropriate app like Adobe Reader for .pdf files or Word or Pages for .doc files.  Fill out the form and save.  Then email the form back as an attachment.

  • Filling out PDF forms in Landscape Mode

    I have used Preview to fill out PDF forms in Portrait mode and it's very nice because I can save the modified file and email it to others, or just keep it for reference. Anyway, I downloaded a PDF form and tried to fill out the text. It highlights the form fields just right, with the blue glowy rectangle and everything, and when I type in the text it appears just fine, until that field loses focus, then the text goes goofy--it shows up starting at the right hand side of the field and goes in the wrong direction. It's as if Preview still thinks that the PDF is in portrait mode even though it's in landscape mode. Do you know what I'm doing wrong or if there's a fix out there?

    I am new to working with pdf.  I am trying to fill out a form that was attached to a website.  I have a Macbook Pro and I am trying to learn Acrobat.  How do I get the form to accept my input?

    If there are Acrobat PDF form fields, not jus a space for a form field, then you will have to add them. It would be better to ask the provider of the form to add the fields. If you cannot add the fields, then you can use the add text feature.
    Have you looked in the "Tools" panel for the "Forms" category?
