How Could Adobe Get it So Wrong!

How could Adobe get it so wrong!
I have trialled Captivate 5 over the weekend and I can see absolutely no reason to upgrade from Captivate 4 to Captivate 5, the opposite in fact.  Captivate 5 is a money making project for Adobe not an improvement on Captivate 4.
The team who work on the Captivate project should hang their heads in shame and be disbanded.  Have they not once look at the Captivate forums, have they not seen the problems users have or the stream of question or requests users have placed on the forums. 
A quick test which can be repeated many times over:
Look on the forum, under Captivate 4, for the subject with the highest requests for help.
Now look at Captivate 5 and in every case you will see the problem, bug or restriction is still there.
Captivate 5 looks grey and bland, the screen is cluttered and some features are buried so deep they are hard to find, simple things default to being turned on, such as anti-alias. In all other software programs, these things default as off, which makes more sense to turn something on if you want to use it.
There is still no way to easily print the certificate page without a third party widget and why can't you fully justify text.
I am now on the look out for other e-learning authoring software and will not encourage anyone to use Captivate 5.

I encourage you to take Adobe up on their offer to talk via phone and/or Adobe Connect about your frustrations, concerns, bugs, and feature requests.
While I too have been frustrated in the past by Captivate issues, there are some at Adobe who seem to have a sincere interest in addressing user issues and strengthening the Captivate product and name.
I took advantage of Adobe's US East Coast tour in October and met with Akshay Bharadwaj and Shameer Ayyappan in New York City.  I did my fair share of venting, but found both Akshay and Shameer motivated to both listen and act. I left very thankful for the opportunity.
If someone from Adobe offers to connect with you one-on-one to talk about your concerns, my suggestion is to take them up on the offer!
Kind Regards,
Sara

    Dear Customer Service Team,
    I bought a twelve-month Dreamweaver CC program with monthly payment that I have paid via bank transfer and there would be a question about the activation. How could I get the license key with which I can activate my account? I can not find it and now I only have access to the trial version.
    Thank you for your help in advance.
    Kind Regards,

    There is no serial number require for Creative Cloud products, you may activate the products using your email address and password which is associated with Adobe. If your Dreamweaver asking for serial number, then make sure you are signing in with correct email address.

    1 . Is it possible to setup a custom MDM server using MDM API's?
    2. How could i get access to MDM API's to setup a custom MDM server/
    3. Is MDM server provided only by third party vendors?
    4. Is MDM server /MDM API available to all enterprise accounts?
    Looking forward  for a quick response.

  • How could i get the status of Purchase Oder's status

    Hi, Great ALL!
    Can you tell me, what I can to do.
    I need to do some check at purchase order in checking or saving time.
    If there are any mistakes, system could set some warning message or error message(like the following pictures:)

    2.[http://lh3.ggpht.com/dingdinghaochibao/SP3QkeJgx1I/AAAAAAAAAHI/DfE6mvIOpm8/Picture2.JPG]
    Here is my question: How could i get those messages?

    a®s
    Thanks for your answer.
    But i still have one question. After i made a purchase order although there were one warning message given by system, i could not find any log by TR. SLG1.
    Is there any way to get those message by BAdi or exit?

  • HT204053 I don't see Icloud under my setting, how could I get it?

    I don't see Icloud under my Mac settings, how could I get it?

    iCloud does not appear in System Preferences on Snow Leopard. The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 - as this has been superseded by Mountain Lion you would need to upgrade your Mac to that, having first checked that it meets the requirements as listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    The only thing you can do with Snow Leopard is to access iCloud mail on an account which has already been set up:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    and possibly sync calendars (though this is a hack and not necessarily reliable) as mentioned in this page:
    iCloud and Snow Leopard

    i just did update of software and i lost all of my picture and songs from itune which is un usual .could any one tell me how could i get iphoto working again?

    What did you update with what?  Are we talking a computer?  A device like an iPhone?  You updated iTunes?  You updated the operating system?
    If you updated the iOS on a device, I believe it warns you it will erase the device and you should make a backup first.  Restore from the backup.
    iPhoto is an application pretty much separate from iTunes.  There is an iPhoto forum if you are having problems with that application.
