Importing .ppt or .pptx

Hi Everyone
I am new to Acrobat.com and am trying to import a .ppt or .pptx. These files are supposed to be supported but I get errors when I try to upload either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sheldon

Hi Sheldon,
What errors, specifically, are you receiving? It should indeed work, so let's figure this out.
Meanwhile, have you tried the basic fix-its, like updating the flash player, restarting the browser, restarting the computer?

Failed to Import Power Point files (.ppt and .pptx) to my iPad/Keynote via iTunes

I want to import my Power Point files (.ppt and .pptx) to my iPad via iTunes. I open ppt file in iTunes keynote file sharing than I run keynote and select copy file from iTunes. But it will jump to the home screen half way through and keynote close

I have already downloaded the Keynote app on my iphone and I see that Keynote will open PP files. How do I get my PP files, which are on my PC (Windows 7) accessable by my iphone? Looks like I can copy them to my icloud but I'm unable to determine how to get to my icloud file (I have created one through my iphone). Thanks.

Bug when importing Ppt slides with animation: color changes to foam green

Hi everyone,
I am using Captivate 7 and I am experiencing what seems like a bug when I try to import Powerpoint slides that have animation effects and then publish the video as HTML5.
I am using Ppt 2007 and importing the slides as .pptx files using the Import> Ppt slides command in Captivate.
An example of Ppt slide that I need to import is this: in the slide, there are two groups, created by grouping together several objects (lines, shapes etc). One group has a fade effect applied on it, while the other group has a diagonal down right movement applied to it.
When I import the slide in Captivate, the following happens:
If I do not select the High fidelity check box, then the Ppt slide is imported as static, and no effect is shown in the HTML5 video, although the effect is shown in the Captivate preview.
If I select the High fidelity check box, then the Ppt slide is imported with the effect, and with the original Ppt colors, but as soon as I press F3 to play the slide, or F4 to play the whole project, or I publish the video in HTML5 output, all the original colors change to foam green for the fill in and black for the shape outlines. Furthermore, the text boxes are displayed with their box frame displayed:
ORIGINAL PPT IMAGE:
RESULT AFTER CAPTIVATE IMPORT:
I have read in the forum several posts on this issue, eg colors being changed to foam green even with static Ppt slides, and I tried to apply the suggestions, but none seems to work.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi there
As Hyperlinks don't survive the import process, perhaps try removing the links and just applying the desired color in PPT before importing into Captivate?

Captivate 5.5 Is it possible to import PPT slides in Notes Page view?

Hello experts,
This may seem like an odd question. I'd like to display all the notes in the page of a PowerPoint deck that provides samples of code and explaintions of what the code is doing. It is too much information for the slide, which just has discussion point bullets, and I think it is too much for the closed caption pane. It this possible to import PPT slides in Notes Page view?
Thank you so much in advance for any hints, tips, and replies.
Kindest regards,
P

I found an alternative but circuitous way of achieving the desired result. In PowerPoint I opened, then I printed the PPT presentationto a PDF selecting the Notes Page option instead of Full Slide. By then using a PDF converter to convert it back to PPT I was able to insert the PPT as is. In other words it "looks" just like the PPT Notes Page view, which is exactly what I wanted. The code snippet and notes were intact.

I get "We can't verify who created this file" for every PPT or PPTX file I open on my local network (Win 7 only, not Win 8)

I've searched around, and perhaps I've missed it, but I have a specific problem that just started today (4/1/2014). I have 3 PCs in a local home network and they all have been sharing things fine so far. PC1 is my main storage computer (Windows
7), another is a laptop (Windows 7) and a third is a laptop (Windows 8.1).
On the Windows 7 laptop, when I open Windows Explorer and navigate my way to a file I want to open (which is stored on PC1) and double click on the file to open it USED to just open using the right program (PowerPoint2007) which I have fully installed on
the Win 7 laptop. Note also that "Microsoft Office (2010)" came pseudo-loaded on the laptop, but I have set the default for all PPT and PPTX files to be opened using PowerPoint2007. I've had a few hiccups in the past where this undesired,
not-fully-loaded version tries to get in the way of me opening files with PowerPoint2007, but right now all files are set to open using PowerPoint2007.
So I'm not going on the internet, I'm not using IE, and this is only happening with PPT and PPTX files and only on my Win 7 laptop. DOC/DOCX and XLS/XLSX files open fine with the 2007 version of the Word and Excel respectively. All files, including
the PPT and PPTX files on PC1 are openable without trouble on the Win8 laptop with PowerPoint2007.
Any idea why this would suddenly start happening?

Sorry, I should have said that I'm having this issue on Win7 Enterprise SP1 and not XP.
I'm having trouble understanding how cacheing is related to how windows resolves this security violation, and why changing the Internet's custom security settings makes the caching problem go away? You are correct in that running a mdb file from
the desktop does not produce the warning; however this is a database housed on a shared drive so that the database is accessable to other users...
unfortunately unblock is not presented as an option in the file properties, and even if it was that seems a bit impractical to do for every single zip file on a share drive which would accumulate more files as multiple users add to it.
Also: I have two computers with the same settings in both the trusted sites and the Launch apps, but one opens fine and the other does not.

Keynote '09 will not open ppt or pptx files

Although I have had no trouble in the past, presently I am unable to open both .ppt and .pptx PowerPoint files in Keynote. The progress bar gets about 1/4 to 1/3 across and just stays there indefinitely until I force quit Keynote (I have left my office and returned sometime later, and it was still in the same spot). I have reinstalled Keynote, restarted the computer without success in correcting this problem.

After reinstalling the system software and the Combo10.6.4 update, reinstalling iWorks'09 and the 9.0.3 update, I repaired the permissions using the Snow Leopard installation disk and PowerPoint .pptx open fine.
Thanks!

Can't import ppt in Captivate 7

I have just installed Captivate 7 (v. 7.0.1.237) on my laptop with Vista 64-bit os. When I try to import ppt slides, the option is greyed out. How can I fix this?

Import > PPT slides will be available if you are inserting PPT slides to an existing Captivate project. If you are creating a new one, you should select File > New Project > Project from MS PowerPoint.

Importing PPT to Flash

Hi,
I want to import a PPT file into Flash, can anybody suggest
me a way to do it. My requirement is to integrate Voice Over in PPT
and convert it to video.
As PPT does not provide good support to synch VO with
animations, I am thinking to import PPT into flash, synch VO and
then export it into video. Comments and suggestions are welcome...
Cheers :)

Captivate imported PPT Accesibility problem

I have a Captivate file with an Imported PowerPoint which is reading all the ppt text in my screen reader when published, in the wrong order. I do not want the screen reader to read anything imported from PowerPoint, only what I write in the captivate accessible text. How do I stop it from reading the imported ppt text, but still read the accessible text that I have placed within captivate?

If you REALLY want more control over the screen reading order of your slides, I would suggest you are better off NOT using PPT to create them. Build them from scratch in Captivate using native Cp objects. Then you can manipulate the layering of all objects and set the tab order for interactive objects.

Problems trying to import PPT

I have a very simple, 3 slide PowerPoint file saved as type
"PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation". When I attempt to import it into
Captivate CS3, it "thinks" for about 3 minutes, then says I have
3,249 slides in the PPT. The slide previews are blank. If I attempt
to import any of the slides, they are blank. I have a screen shot
if needed.
What's going on here?

Hi Donger,
I just solved my problem with the import of PowerPoint
shows. I read a Tech Bulleting that says to re-install the Flash
player (see:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=f951a12a&sliceId=1
). I followed the steps outlined and now the timport - with all the
animation, works fine.
Hope this helps

Help! I'm desperate, imported PPT's are giving me nightmares on export!

Greetings fellow Captivators, it's my first post here. I hate to jump right in and beg for help, but I'm really beside myself here, and am losing ground/time on a major project due to this bug/error/mistake.
First let me explain the project to you:
1. I start by importing a 2007 PPT file, with only simple timings (EX: wait 10 seconds, show bullet, wait 10 seconds, show bullet, etc...) NOTHING FANCY.
2. Then, we had our content expert narrate all of these slides.
3. Inserted throughout the project are FLV's that play on their own slides, no problems here.
When I go to export, things work fine, everything exports and I can load the whole project up onto our FTP server (eventually it will live in a Moodle install...)
BUT
Many of the narrated slides have strange behavior on the LAST TIMING of the slide, the are erratic, they don't always finish their animation, or they pause, and you have to hit play to move the last animation the final few pixels...
This causes horrible UI problems, the narration is still playing in the background, but the bullet get stuck, and the user has no idea what to do, when they narration DOES finish, the slide doesn't advance because its "stuck", they then have to push a combination of play and next to advance the slide, total disaster.
The problem is inconsistant, and happens slightly different each time, but it's serious issue and my client is obviously frustrated as well.
Does anyone have experience with problematic timing on timed elements on imported slides?
Is the slide trying to pause until the narratation is finished?
Are there specific export settings that could be causing this?
You can see the problem here:
http://greatseminarsonline.com/falling/
On the FOURTH slide in, titled "Prep For Visit" the last bullet, titled "Explore" should 3 have sub-bullets that load....
Thanks in advance for all your help, when Captivate 5 comes out for the Mac, I look forward to being able to provide help and assistance back to the community (Apple nerd in the house...)

Hi there
Have you noticed if there is a pattern? For example, where things get "stuck", is it always a slide with an FLV?
I've seen it often happen where slides with FLVs get stuck and don't move on by themselves. Not sure of any workaround, but thought it worth mentioning.
Cheers... Rick

CP5.5 - Import PPT - Sometimes PPT Animations do not finish playing - WHY?

I have CP5.5.
We animate our PPTs and then import them.
Usually the last animated object in PPT does not finish playing.
For example if you use the "Wipe" animation on an Arrow drawn in PPT and it is the last animated object.
I usually put the animation speed on Very Fast in PPT but sometimes it still doesn't finish animating or the tip of the arrow doesn't display all the way.
Has anyone else run into this situation?
I usually end up changing the animation type, however I was wondering what the cause of this is?

Hey Frank. This is a good tip. Ever since Presenter changed the way they handle audio files, we have stopped recording our audio in Presenter; we all happen to have Captivate licenses on my team so we use it to record and edit all audio before we export to Presenter. If we have to make any changes, we also go back to Captivate and import the changed audio again. We tried working with the Adobe "support" for months on this issue and got nowhere. Each time you alter audio, even if you remove your breathing sounds, if divides the audio into two parts at the place where you changed it. So, yes, for longer pieces of audio, you end up with multiple files. Presenter does "merge" them together when you publish; however, it doesn't do a very good job of it. So every time the playbar reaches one of these split sections of the audio, it has a little glitch.
Now that you can record audio in PowerPoint and since the PowerPoint integration is so much better in Captivate, we will be dropping our Presenter licences. We may keep one or two so we can update existing modules. Unfortunately when the product has too many glitches and the support is not good (we had Gold or Platinum support too), you can't afford to stay with the product. We've used it for about 6 years.
