How to open an executable file from within Captivate

Hi guys,
I wondered if any of you guys could help me...
I am using Captivate 3 and I have created a project in this and exported it as a standalone executable file.
Ideally I would like to link this to another standalone executable file exported from Captivate, so is it possible
to create a button in the first file so when it has been exported, if I click on this it opens up the second standalone file?
Thanks for your help in advance.

I'm pretty sure that, for security reasons, the projector app that Captivate uses for stand-alone EXEs is sandboxed: you won't be able to access the API of the host operating system, so you won't be able to launch any apps.

  • How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?

    There is an existing thread, but I want to re-open it because I think this is an important feature that we need badly.  I was wondering if there is any plan to add this feature so we can open PDFs directly into Adobe from the web / other apps.
    How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?
    Basically, we just want to use a custom URL scheme to open a specific document in the App.  Currently, this only opens the app but does not load the file.
    APB

    Not to hijack the conversation but I can explain why this would be useful for both the above case and another.
    What I believe Pavel is talking about is setting up a "URL Scheme" for the Adobe Acrobat iOS application so that you can easily open a PDF specifically in Adobe Acrobat iOS from other native applications and even from web applications opened within Safari. This is particularly useful if your application requires some of the specific features in Adobe Reader iOS to grant them the best experience possible and you want to encourage this.
    Another case: If you're using Adobe Livecycle's document security modules (that encrypts PDF files so that Adobe Acrobat must "phone home" to decrypt and view the document), these PDF's can only be viewed inside the Adobe Acrobat application and appear as blank in most other PDF readers. Having a URL scheme allows your application utilising this functionality to have a 1 click step to view the PDF rather than the current non-user friendly process:
    - Within Safari, touch the PDF link (appears as blank in the default Safari PDF reader, which in itself is confusing)
      - Touch "Open in..."
      - Touch "Adobe Acrobat"
    We have an immediate need for this functionality for the example above. I can resubmit it in a separate post if necessary.

  • How to open an InDesign file from CMIS repository?

    We are using CS SDK 2.0 , looking to use CMIS to keep versionning of .indd file. The uss case as following:
    form our de4veloped InDesign pluging, user click a button
    the button will open a .indd file from cmis repository
    plugin check-out the file, open it within InDesign IDE
    user make changes
    user make save
    the plugin export a pdf and swf files from the current document, if the files exists it will update, aslo on CMIS repo to keep also versions of exported pdf and swf, if files not exist in first time .. it will create
    when user clos the document , it will check it in.
    the problem there is no sufficent sample code for, even was thinking to use Adobe Drive, but there is no Adobe Drive SDK for Flex.
    i used to fuse the sdk, but
    private function getFileByPath(sPath:String):Fileable {

    message = "";
    viewEnabled = false;

    function onSuccess (event:CheckoutResponse) : void {
    oDocument = event.object ;
    appStatus = ">> Check Out File : Success";
    viewEnabled = true;
    return oDocument;
    private function openTestFile():void {
                                            appStatus = "Open Test File";
                                            message = "";

                                            //var oDoc2:Document = new Document(oFile);
                                            var oDoc:Document  = checkOutFile(doc);
    i do not know what method in the CS SDK to open document fom active window and  how to map CMIS Document to com.adobe.indesign Document ?

    Dear Seoras
    i fixed the to return the cmis path:
    public function resolveRemotePath(file:File):String
                                  if (file.nativePath.indexOf(LOCAL_FILE_CACHE.nativePath) != 0)
                                            return null;
                                  var remoptePath:String =file.nativePath.substr(LOCAL_FILE_CACHE.nativePath.length);
                                  trace("resolveRemotePath [11] : "+ remoptePath);
                                  if(File.separator!="/") {
                                            //var pattern:RegExp = /(\/)/g;
                                            var pattern:RegExp = /(\\)/g;
                                            remoptePath =  remoptePath.replace(pattern ,"/");
                                            trace("resolveRemotePath [22] : "+ remoptePath);
                                  return remoptePath;

  • How to open a local file from javascript in a jsp-page

    Hi
    I have created an iview from a PAR file. In the par file I have a jsp-page with some javascript code. From the javascript coe I want to open a new window with an Excel file.
    I have tried window.open("c:
    test.xls", "test_window"), but it doesn't seem to work. I have created a small HTML page locally with the same command and there a new window opens with the Excel file.
    If I change the local file path with an URL it also works.
    Any idea how to open a local file ?
    Thanks
    /Jakob

    Jacob,
    I'm not 100% (but 99,9%) and it has to do with security ristrictions of the browser not allowing to have local workstation interation from the web. This is ofcourse very dangerous if the browser would allow it... So therfore it is blocked. What if somone would point to a file/executable that formats your drive so for that reason it is not allowed to have web interaction with a local file. Only with Java Applets this is possible but still with many limitations, and what I remember Google Gears and Adobe Air do have some limited web 2 local file interaction... So best and most simple solution you are left with is pointing to a url instead of a file on a c:\ drive.
    PS The reason why it works when you start the html from your local PC has todo with the fact that the browser detects that the html is not running in the web at that moment therefor allowing the access.
    Cheers,
    Benjamin Houttuin

  • How to open an PDF file from Java Application

    Hi
    I am developing a GUI application in java swing.
    on clicking one button, I want to open PDF file from my swing application.
    Is there any API through which I can achieve this?
    Tapan Maru
    Sun Certified Java Programmer

    Here's a way to do it (if I understand you
    correctly). Just let explorer.exe do it for you.
    import java.awt.*;
    public class openPDF
         Desktop desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
         public openPDF()
              open("test.pdf");
         public void open(String path)
              try
                   Runtime.getRuntime().exec("explorer.exe "+path);
    } catch(Exception e) { System.out.println("NAI!
    I! ERROR!\n"+e); }
         public static void main(String[] args)
              openPDF myApplication = new openPDF();
    Why do you have a Desktop object as a member but instead of using it, you execute a command with Runtime (which is not platform independent!)???

  • How i call a executable file from a pl/sql

    how i can call a executable file make in c (unix) from a pl/sql
    Thanks for your help

    You need to use libraries. use the executable and create a library by specifying the path and invoke it from the Stored procedure. It is like an external file to the database.

  • How to open an excel file from labview?

    I tried to use "open file" vi from File I/O -- Advanced file functions to open an excel file in LabVIEW. Why the excel file wouldn't open after I run the program?

    In addition to ActiveX, you can also manipulate Excel data files using the Windows ADO interface - a technique that is more robust, faster and IMHO easier. Do a search on the forum as there have been several threads within the last week or so discussing this very thing.

  • How to open/convert RAW- files from new CANON 5D Mk III in LR 3 and CS 5?

    Hallo!
    The RAW- files from my new CANON 5D Mk III are not convertible into LR 3 and CS 5.
    What is the reason and how to solve the problem?

    The work around of converting the CR2 to dng either with the dng converter or ACR 6.7 will allow working in LR and CS5 but not with the latest raw conversion engine from Adobe i.e PV 2012.
    Remember to keep a copy of the CR2 files if you wish to utilize the Canon software.

    Regards

    Well, if the OS doesn't provide a mechanism to associate a file name with a certain program, there's nothing you can do.
    I don't know whether something like JDIC can help you - otherwise, you'd have to find the solution for each OS. What's inside the exec()'s parenthesisses is not a Java problem anymore.
