Importing Powerpoint Slides to a trial version of Captivate 5.5:

All logo's, images (Jpg) and PowerPoint slide background disappear when importing to a trail version of Captivate 5.5. I tried PPT 2003, 2007, as well as 2010 with no success. Any help will be appreciated. I am new to Captivate - would like to buy, but after many hours of trial and error, I'm not impressed.

Gchoice did you purchase Captivate 5.5 directly from Adobe? If so and you choose the option to download at the time of purchase then the download will be available under your account at http://www.adobe.com/.

Text Caption Boxes on imported PowerPoint slides

I have imported a number of PowerPoint slides (with an image)
into a Captivate movie. Text is needed on these slides so
originally I created the text on the PPT slides, but when imported
into Captivate the text formatting and spacing was all messed up.
So, I had to reimport those PPT slides with no text. After
reimporting, I used Text Caption Boxes to enter the text onto those
PPT slides. When published, those text boxes display small white
boxes (white is the text color) everywhere I used the space bar in
the text boxes (after a bullet, etc.) The white boxes do not show
when previewing or editing in Captivate.
Is there a way to get rid of those boxes or does anyone know
of any other solution?
Thanks in advance!

You're welcome. And speaking of "thanks", I have copied the
"fix" for the Transparent Caption Style bug from the guy who has
been a great friend and the best source of real intelligence in the
Captivate "expert" community, Paul Dewhurst. Paul deserves the real
"Thanks" for discovering the cure for this irritation ... his
solution is as follows - and I quote:
quote:
One of the Problems Captivate used to have was that if you used
transparent captions then the text in the published movie would
look blurred, In captivate 2 you can fix this problem and have nice
crisp text all you need to do is select
#C0C0C0 as the highlight colour and highlight part of the
text (you can select just one character) this makes the text in the
published movie display nice and crisp and the highlight is
transparent.
I hope this helps - and by the way, you can find other
great tips from Paul on his website at

Have a great day!

I have iMovie 2011 and I imported PowerPoint slides with a soundtrack. Now I want to get rid of a small clip but it's not letting me do that.

I have iMovie 2011 and I imported PowerPoint slides with a soundtrack. Now I want to delete a small highlighted clip and it won't let me no matter what I do! Rosemary

First off....do NOT install MacKeeper! It creates more problems than it prevents, and is a royal pain to get rid of once you realize this.
What I would do, since it sounds like you don't want to reorganize your email filing by the use of Smart Mailboxes, is to simply use the search box at the top of the Mail window to find only the emails you want to delete....then select them all and delete them. For example, if you wanted to delete all of the emails from [email protected], you would type that into your search box, which will filter your inbox to only show you emails from [email protected] Then Select All, and delete them. You haven't deleted any others....only those from that person.
Then clear the search box to see the rest of your emails again.
Repeat this process to delete emails from other senders you no longer need.
(Once you've selected them all, by the way, you can control-click one if you need to save it).

Import PowerPoint Slides w/in Small Region of Slide

Hi-
Is there a way to import PowerPoint slide to only display in a portion of the screen? I'd like to have the PowerPoint slides on about 1/3 of the page, and maintain the content from previous pages to remain in the other 2/3 of the page. Is this possible? If so, how?
Thanks in advance.
Thomas

Hi there
I was thinking that you might accomplish it by starting off with the PowerPoint import to create the project at the smaller size. Then use the ability to resize the project and make it larger, leaving the smaller area in place and surrounding it with new blank area.
Just thinking out loud... Rick

Importing PowerPoint slides in Director

Is there a way to import PowerPoint slides in Director and getting all the animation to work? Thanks for your help.

Hi Ibrahim,
This question has been asked before. Check this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/85607#85607
My suggestion would be to look for a Powerpoint to Flash (PPT to SWF) converter. There are a number of these available. Once you have the SWF, you can bring it into Director.

How can I get a trial version of Captivate 5.5?

I very much need access to a trial version of Captivate 5.5. Every time I think I have found one, I am eventually offered Captivate 7. I really need 5.5.

Fresh install of trial version of Captivate 8 on OS X 10.9.3 - no previous version of Captivate on machine. I've got lots of crashing to desktop problems right off the bat. Is there a patch available?

Fresh install of trial version of Captivate 8 on OS X 10.9.3 - no previous version of Captivate on machine. I've got lots of crashing to desktop problems right off the bat. Is there a patch available? I work at a University and we're evaluating for online courseware - my last experience with Captivate was 5.0. Anyone else experience this with the trial download?

Hi there,
There is no difference in terms of usage and features between a trial version and a licensed version.
Could you tell me do you get any specific error message when it crashes, or does it crash while using a particular feature, or is it random?
Can you also try with a different user account (admin) on your MAC, check if it behaves same there?
Thanks.

Anyone had the trial version of Captivate 4 expire in 4 days?

Hi
I'm using the trial version of Captivate 4 which I downloaded
four days ago. It's now telling me I have to enter a serial number
with no option to continue the trial.
I've seen problems have occurred in the past but haven't
heard about this one.
Anyone direct me to a fix? I'm putting together a project to
convince the powers that be to upgrade.
Thanks

Welcome to our community
At any point after installing did you play with your system
clock and monkey with the date? I find that trials are often super
sensitive that way. ANY change to the date can automatically
trigger a "Trial is over" response as the software is programmed
not to allow date changes. If it were to allow date changes, you
could theoretically run a trial indefinitely.
Other than that, perhaps try calling support. And good luck.
Cheers... Rick

Projects created in trial version of captivate 8

Hi
A work colleage has a 30 trial version of Captivate 8 and has created a project in it which we are about to publish on our LMS. But as I understand if their version of Captivate it is not fully licensed after 30 days the project will not work. However I do have a fully licensed version. So if I save the project in my fully licensed version, will that be OK and the project will be still there after 30 days. Or will it go away?
I want to know this before my colleague goes any further just in case the project will not work when the trial expires.
Thanks

Hi satija
Does that mean that if I create the source files (cptx files etc) in the trial version that I can then open and save these files in the full version and the content will not expire?
I want to make sure of this before I test out the trial version.
Thanks
Steve

Opening (not) a trial version of Captivate 6.

I got this message when I tried to open a trial version of Captivate 6: "Sorry, the program is not responding correctly (Error Code: A12E5.)"

Hello there,
If you will download the trial, then you will only get Captivate 6.0.1.240
Captivate 6.1.0.319 is only available for subscription (monthly and annual) users and ASA (Adobe Software Assurance) users.
Once you will purchase the subscription or Full version with ASA, then you can update Captivate 6.0.1.240 to 6.1.0.319
Thanks.

Help with importing PDF to Indesign CS5 trial version

Hello: I am in a bit of a quandry. I have numerous PDF's that I want to convert to Epub. I called Adobe and asked them what program I would need to do this and they said InDesign CS5 so I downloaded the trial version to check it out. The problem is, that in the trial version there is no "place" command, which is how I would import the PDF. So I am left unable to run a test with this software and don't want to buy a program that I can't confirm. Any ideas or work arounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Krista

The trial version of InDesign certainly does not have any features disabled. You should be able to place pages from a PDF file into an InDesign document.
File=>Place or Ctrl-D should yield a file dialog for you to select a file to place. Of course, you must already have opened an existing file or created a new file.

I can't Import any .mpg files? (Trial Version)

Whenever I try to import any .mpg files, after effects says the file [Name of file] is either damaged or unsupported. No matter what I do I can't seem to import any types of videos. The files are not copied or editted yet and play on any type of media player so they are not corrupted.
-Any help would be greatly appreciated

It would really hugely make everyone's lives easier if people read first... --> http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/trial/faq/
The trial versions of Adobe After Effects® CS5, Adobe Premiere® Pro CS5,
and Soundbooth® CS5 software do not include some features that depend
on software licensed from parties other than Adobe. For example, some
codecs for encoding MPEG formats are available only with the full
version of these products.

Imported PowerPoint Slide doesn't look right

I read Captivate 3.0 help and learned it can't
handle PowerPoint 2007 files, so I saved my PowerPoint slideshow to
1997-2003 compatibility mode. One of the slides has tables with
headings, and Captivate 3.0 does strange things when I import
it--like change the font sizes of the headings and insert bullets
into every box in the table. The result is unreadable and
unfixable. This table took me a long time to make. Is there anyway
possible for Captivate 3.0 to import it so that it looks the same
way it does in PowerPoint? I know that to do something with themes
in PowerPoint creates problems in Captivate, so you should know
that I didn't use themes in creating this slideshow. Any help you
can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Fikenhild,
This might just be a limitation with the way the PPT
importing engine currently works. I would recommend that you submit
this as a bug using the
Adobe
Captivate Feature Request/Bug Report Form
In order to capture the screen I would suggest that you
record this using Adobe Captivate - using the steps I have outlined
below:
1. Open your MS PowerPoint file (I only have PowerPoint 2003)
2. Chose Slide Show > Set up Slide Show...
3. Choose the Show type Browsed by an individual window
(disable the show scrollbar)
4. Click OK.
5. View the Show
6. In Adobe Captivate choose Record or create a new project
7. Select Custom size.
8. Specify your project size
9. Position your PowerPoint Show window within the recording
area
10. Capture your screens.
HTH
Regards - Mark
