Hyperlinks don't work in Captivate 5.0 ?

I'm using captivate 5.0 and try to set a hyperlink on a slide which is imported from powerpoint. How can I do this? And what do I have to do to import also the hyperlinks alredy set in the powerpoint presentation?
Any hints?
Best regards
Barbara

Hello and welcome to the forum,
You will have to recreate the hyperlinks in Captivate, it will not import from PPT. Use an interactive object (maybe a click box) and choose as Success command 'Open URL' if that is what your hyperlink has to do, or one of the other commands (like Jump to Slide...). You didn't tell what kind of hyperlink you need?

Hyperlinks don't work in Preview

I created a PDF file from a PowerPoint presentation using Mac OS X. My PDF file has hyperlinks in it that work fine when viewed in Acrobat Reader. But I'm unable to get any of the hyperlinks to work when viewing the file with the built in program "Preview" that is part of the Mac OS X operating system.
There are plenty of PDF files on the Internet with hyperlinks that work in both Apple Preview and Acrobat Reader. But the PDF files I create using Mac OS X, don't seem to function properly in Preview.
Any suggestions?

I found this bit of information here ( http://www.cs.wright.edu/~jslater/mac-tex/mac-tex-intro/mactexintro.html):
Adobe Reader (I wouldn’t)
Adobe Acrobat (Not this either)
Preview (Maybe better)
Skim (Awesome, my pick)
TEXShop - Works well as a viewer-only with extra tools
iTEXMac - Also works well as a viewer-only with extra tools
OzTEX (if not using PDFLaTEX)
CMacTEX(if not using PDFLaTEX)
MacDVIX (if not using PDFLaTEX)
If PDFTEX is used, any PDF(R) viewer can be used, but hyperlinks don’t work in viewers using Apple’s(R) PDF code (e.g. Preview, iTEXMac, TEXShop, Skim...), so you may want to have Adobe Reader(R) or Acrobat installed to test your hyperlinks.

Hyperlinks Don't Work in Preview/Publish Mode - Correct in Design View

I am having trouble with hyperlinks. I've deleted existing hyperlinks, then copied and pasted addresses back in but it is still not working. Any idea why this is happening.
www.ronbrendle.com/reviews.html
To the right of each album the links for amazon, itunes and cdbaby do not work. They DO work for the Bunky Moon album but I cannot discern any difference. In Muse design view, the hyperlink addresses are correct when I select the amazon, itunes or cdbaby element.
Also - when I copy a page URL from this site - it pastes the title tag. For example:
www.ronbrendle.com/reviews.html becomes "Brendle is a monster bassist." JazzTimes
Please help if you can.
Thank you,
Deanna

Hyperlinks don't work in keynote 3

My hyperlinks don't work in Keynote 3, even not after re-installing the programme several times. Are there more people who have this priblem, it could be a bug.

Check that the presentation is set to normal in: Inspector > Document > Document > Presentation Type > Normal
The inspector is the side panel on the right hand side.

Hyperlinks don't work in fillable pdf forms

I have a question for you folks and am hoping you can help me. I am using Adobe Acrobat X Professional. I want to create "fillable" pdf forms which include hyperlinks. When I create a pdf form and "Save as" a "Reader extended PDF" and "Enable additional features" the hyperlinks don't work. I save the document this way in order to produce a fill-in pdf document. However, if I save the document as a regular pdf (i.e., not reader extended/non-fillable pdf form) then the hyperlinks work. Any ideas how I can get the hyperlinks to work in a fillable pdf form? Thanks!
Chris Quarto

Hi Michael:
I'm sorry...I wish I knew what "autorecognized links" were. : ( As I mentioned in my reply to David, I created the hyperlinks in Microsoft Word before I converted the Word document to a pdf.
I have resolved the problem and posted my step-by-step solution a few days ago, but for some reason I don't see it in this forum. It kind of goes like this...to get hyperlinks to work with fillable pdf's:
1. Create Microsoft Word document and save when done.
2. While in Word, click on "Acrobat" on menu bar (assuming you have installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro on your computer) and "Create pdf;" confirm that hyperlinks work and close document.
3. Open pdf document with Acrobat Pro and selected "Create pdf form."
4. Edit the "fillable" parts of the document (e.g., make all fields/text boxes 10 pt. font size...I wish there was a way of setting the default so you wouldn't have to manually do this for each field/box, but haven't figured out how to do that one yet).
5. Close form editing.
6. Select File --> Save as --> Reader extended pdf --> Enable additional features.
7. Save file
8. Close file and re-open to verify that hyperlinks and fields work/are fillable.
That's my solution. There's probably an easier way to do this, but it works.
Thanks,
Chris

Saved Pages document as PDF. Now hyperlinks don't work

After saving my newsletter in Pages 09 as a PDF (Print>Compress as PDF) some embedded hyperlinks don't work. Strangely enough, the links to an e-mail DO work, but links to a URL DO NOT. Why is this and what do I do to overcome this problem?

That's a fairly long thread I linked to. Did you get all the way down to this post with a screenshot? I see that others had the same problem you do & it took them a couple of tries to get it working. I would be nice to be able to see what you're doing (or not doing), but we have to make do with words & screenshots.

Hyperlink don't work with "download a document"

I use iWeb 2006. My web site <www.xicro.it> have a link with a document to download. This kind of hyperlink don't work on line, but it work when you check the site in local host.
Do you have any answer or any other experiences concerning this problem?
Thank

Hi,
You can put the file which you want people to be able to download in a zip. Then put a link on your website to that zip file (normal link) and as soon as you click on the link the zip will download.
In your case that would be xoomer.alice.it/xicro/F537BB88-A61B-11DB-9BB2-000393D45032/xxxxxxxxx.zip
Tanti saluti, benvenuto nel forum di 'Apple support' e spero che funzioni,

Hyperlinks don't work, please help!! :(

Hi all,
I've created a new website and I would just like to know why my hyperlinks don't work? The facebook link used to, but ever since I posted the text under the menu icons in the middle of the site and then publish it won't activate any of them! This is really frustrating so I'm really hoping someone has an easy solution to this...
My URL is www.nurburgringnow.co.uk
Thanks,
Will

It looks to me as though you have made your navigation menu using images places without a shape?
If so, what he is saying is that this shape has got into your footer and is covering everything else and the whole page, which is why your links will not work. If your links are covered by anything, then they won't work.
In iWeb select show all so you can see where things are on your site. Shorten your footer area and I would suggest that you remove the shape and then place it in the body of your site. To get your links to work you need to ensure that you send the shape to the back.

Chrome, buttons don't work suddenly, Captivate 7 html5

Chrome, buttons don't work. Captivate 7, why did buttons suddenly stop working in chrome (and click boxes too.) HTML5
I installed the patch in June. Since then I made a lesson and published it to a Moodle server. It works in IE and Chrome fine.
Lessons from 2013 work fine still on that server.
New lesson from a different template works in IE but not in Chrome. End user can't get audio in IE, would use Chrome but buttons don't work! You can see the html selection box and they depress(plain buttons, can see the overlay when you click) but they don't take any action. I can click and type in a text box if that helps?
So I created a couple of test projects:
one from the new 2014 template, copied over some 2013 slides and buttons.
One from 2013 template, copied in some 2014 slides and buttons.
Good mix of each. Made export settings match.
Posted to Moodle in new course. Posted to old course, to make sure it wasn't Moodle related, they are on the same server.
Two variations every way I could.
Buttons do not work in Chrome. Everything works in IE.
I had created an extra lesson for the 2013 course this month and posted it with the same software to the same server, that works in Chrome.
It was made after a software update (to 701-237 June 2014, Windows system, hasn't changed since).
Then I opened, republished and uploaded a lesson from last year. Doesn't work in Chrome. ?!?
What happened to my BUTTONS! I don't know what else to try.
ps Moodle was getting a manifest error when i tried to publish as scalable html. Moodle takes it when I don't.
Yes I deleted the layouts folder when I updated. Did it again today to be sure. No improvement.

Hey there's a solution to this (he says answering his own question)
Someone else posted earlier that latest version of Chrome hung and buttons didn't work (I hate Adobe forum search since I know I checked keywords before posting mine, but whatever)
https://forums.adobe.com/message/6573330#6573330
They got a response:
http://captivatedev.com/2014/07/20/html5-captivate-projects-freezing-google-crome-v-36/
that has to do with two deprecated functions being removed by new Chrome, affecting Javascript.
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2014/07/update-on-captivate-html-5-content-playback-issue -in-google-chrome-browser.html
Offers a manual fix and also updated that page with link to an adobe fix:
So you can patch Captivate 7 and 8 and make Chrome your friend again!
I've just installed it and previewed a project in my default (Chrome) browser. Success!

Hyperlinks to web pages don't work in Captivate 7 or 8

When I design hyperlinks to web pages work but once published they don't. How do i get hyperlinks to web pages to work in Captivate 7 or 8

I should have read that more closely.
It doesn't seem to apply. The only reason that would matter is if you were running the SWF-output from Captivate locally.
ALWAYS test your product from the web to avoid any such security issues.
But yes, if you're putting the published file on a local/network drive, then that security change will need to be applied and, yes, for every computer that accesses the file.
You definitely want to distribute from an HTTP location.
I did hope the first part of that article would help. They're not difficult to setup once you find the option. Just highlight some text and right-click to setup the hyperlink...right?

Microsoft Access report to pdf-hyperlinks don't work

Hi,
Does anyone have a solution to hyperlinks not working when a Microsoft Access report is converted to a pdf? The hyperlinks work when I am in the Access report, but once I convert to a pdf (Acrobat 9), the links don' t work.
Thanks,
Jamie

How did you convert? In looking at the PDF Maker options for AA8 in ACCESS 2007, there does not seem to be a link button in the preferences. That may the issue and I do not have a solution for that.

Hyperlinks don't work in swf

Why don't my hyperlinks work when i produce a swf doc?

It´s not very good idea to deliver InDesign SWF with email. Specially if you have video or audio used in your document. InDesign does not embed those assets to SWF. Instead of it, it creates a folder named Resources and places all media assets there. You suppose to publish that folder along with your SWF.
If you want to deliver your SWF with email, you should provide that Resources folder as attachment and it´s not good idea. It may be relatively large and there´s no proof that receiver will save all necessery attachments before opening SWF. And hyperlinks are not working if you open SWF from your local hard drive. It has to be saved in server.... That´s Flash Player security setting and there´s not much we can do about it...
You should transfer all the necessery files into some public server and provide a link to your files. You can do that with FTP-client software. You will find many free FTP-clients from internet.

Hyperlinks don't work in frames where you have videos, and....

Did you notice that if you put a hyperlink in a frame where you already have a video, after you export in quicktime your presentation, the hyperlink won't work no more?
And did u notice that if you use an hyperlink to a frame that is not the follower one, this will blast off any transition?
And did you notice this happens in Keynote 08 AND Keynote 09?
AND AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT NOTICED THIS AND IS SICK TO PAY FOR A SOFTWARE THAT "just DON'T work" ??

How bout adding the URL after the vid? That works for me; remember a connection to a URL drops you out of Keynote & Sets up Safari, so you're completely out of the app & have to get back in through the dock. I'm uncertain what you mean about the transition blast; cold you give more detail?
In fairness, all apps fail to do something or other, and this does not mean they don't work. If you want to pay big bucks & fight with PP, fine, but I'll stick to the more versatile and easy-to-use KN.

Hyperlinks don't work in swf produced by CS5 InDesign

Created file with CS5 InDesign. Everything except hyperlinks works. Buttons work. Timing works. Layers work. Hyperlinks don't.
The file is still on my hard drive. Pointer changes to indicate when over link. Clicking produces no effect.

I also have this problem. It's an InDesign CS5 multi paged document that I have exported to Flash. The links are to other web pages.
I don't think the answer about security settings is the whole story as I've created a pdf from the same document and the links work from there. The links also work when I test them in the InDesign hyperlinks palette. They just do nothing when exported to SWF. In fact the relevant button is disabled also (rollover doesn't work).
If this can't happen it makes the whole InDesign to SWF thing a bit of a dud!
Anyone got anyclues?
Thanks, Tiara5
