? on exporting Captivate 3 files

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Captivate 3 but have done a few projects. A
colleague would like to use it, but her organization is having
troubles with security and Flash.
Do you know if there is a way to export Captivate files
without embedding the Flash?
Thanks!

I only have the exported .zip file for a project, can I import to captivate and make a .cptx source file?

I am working on a multi-person team with Captivate 7. The CPTX source file cannot be located for one module. We have the exported .zip files in our Version Control system. Can I take these files and recreate the .cptx file. I don't mind having to recreate a little functionality, but am hoping to avoid starting from the beginning with this file.
I know this can be done for RoboHelp files, was hoping some script existed for Captivate as well.

You might be able to save a bit of headache by extracting the content of the zip. Likely a SWF will be inside along with other files. You could then play the SWF and capture the screens. Might save a tiny bit of effort.
Cheers... Rick

Error by exporting Captivate to Word: "Project Captions and Closed Captions"

Hello everybody,
I'm from Germany, working in Heidelberg and I've got a problem! I would so much appreciate if somebody would have a solution for it.
Nobody could help me yet - no Adobe support via chat, no Adobe support via phone. They said the forum is my last chance. I'm frustrated. But a solution is important for my ongoing project...
Description of the problem situation:
I've created an e-learning project in German language. This e-learning shall be translated into other languages, so I want to export a word document with the captions inside. I'm doing this way:
File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions, and save it as word doc.
But then, after I typed in a name for the word document, another "Save as"-window appears in the background (I discovered it by coincidence) and wants me to save a word template before the export process starts. Here's a screenshot:
I don't know the reason for this second "Save as" window, so I try to save a word template (I saved it on my desktop, because I don't know where else).
After klicking on "Save" the following error message appears:
(in English: Error by exporting of captions. Try the following things: if Microsoft Word is installed, if Word is open, if the exported file is open etc.)
It's not depending on the captivate file as such, I tried it with other ones (which have only one slide) - the same problem.
It's not depending on my computer, I tried it with another one in my office - there was the same thing, same error message (but without the step of saving a word template!).
Maybe important: My hardware and versions I'm working with...
Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1), 64bit
Adobe Captivate 8
Microsoft Word 2010
Does anyone has the same problem or does anyone know the answer for this problem?
I would really really appreciate your answers!! Thank you in advance!
Chris

Dear Mayank, dear Lilybiri,
thank you both soooo much, I couldn't belive what I saw as the export of captions worked!!! It was really surprising!
I guess your both solutions helped me out - Mayank's hint of the admin's rights was the necessary information! But it first worked because Lilybiri told me to insist and to try it after I restarted the PC - and to do it several times! So it worked!! Otherwise I would probably still be confused.
Thank you so much!
Here's the proof
Chris
PS: Does anyone know, why I still have to decide if I want to save the "Adobe Captivate" Template thing?
Every time I'm doing an export it asks me every time if I want to save or not save the "Adobe Captivate"-file...

Can not open Captivate files in Dreamweaver

All files are in one folder - code attached
<p><a href="NAME.htm" target="_blank"
class="paragraph" title="TITLE">LINK TEXT GOES
HERE</a></p>
When the Captivate file was published, I selected the "Export
HTML" check box. I put both .swf files, the .cp file, and the .htm
file in the same folder. I can open the name_skin.swf file, but
it's just the skin. If I put the href file as the name.swf file, I
don't get the skin. If I use the name.htm file, I get a blank
screen.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi divertida73
Looks like you may be neglecting to include a very important
file. Its name?
standard.js
Try adding that one to the mix and see if you don't fare
better.

Exported Captivate PDF won't open in 10.1.5 update

The latest update 10.1.5 does not open Captivate files exported as a PDF. Adobe 11 doesn't open those files either, only X would open the files.
Any suggestion to fix this issue? Is there another update that is available that will run the files in for 10 or 11?

This problem is happening to me as well.
It seems to be happening to many people.
I remove the TOC and the file will work, but this is an unacceptable solution, my client wants the TOC.
Why is Adobe ignoring answering the questions.
I have upgraded to the latest versions of reader and player. Still no solution.
I have also tried downloading and installing the palyer as suggested here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-acrobat-flash-player-download.html
Still not working.
I am upset that you have not addressed this.
you ask users to allow Adobe to update your programs automatically and then when your updates break projects that were working fine before the update you ignore requests for months.
I would like a solution now.

Exporting linked files into published .exec

I have a problem in exporting any linked files I have added
as click boxes into the published .exec file.
In my project I have linked HELP pages where relevant and
inserted the URL link into the click box. It all works great when I
am on my network, but once off, the linked files are not there.
When publishing the project, a popup box says that I need to
"copy all referenced files and projects with their
corresponding HTML files to the output folder". But I do
not know how to do this.
HELP
Cheers

files to wherever you will run them from. So be sure you take care
to copy the linked content to the locations where the Captivate
output will expect to find them. Otherwise, the links are going to
fail!
Hopefully this was helpful... Rick
Rick -
Let's revisit this question, please?
In my scenario, I created a button linking to a PDF reference
file. I put the file in the same directory as the final Captivate
published .exe file. The problem is that Captivate is holding onto
the logical path to the file, which works great if everyone is on
my network or computer.
No matter what you do, once you take those files off your
computer/network and hand them to a customer, any links to local
file contained on the delivery medium is broken.
For example, the .exe, reference PDF, and menu are burned to
a CD and delivered to the customer. and the customer is running the
.exe but when he attempts to open the PDF, nothing happens. Of
course, I pop the CD in and it works great for me - because I can
see the path to the published location, prior to burning the CD.
We notice that accomplishing the same action in the menu
builder doesn't produce the same result: The user can open the file
contained on the delivery medium just fine. That code seems to
recognize the virtual path rather than the logical one.
I think this is a bug in the software. Captivate is designed
to be able to publish standalone files. By definition, standalone
means that the links to external files should not be dependent on
the hard path.

Adobe Captivate File: Won't Open, Fatal Error

I'm on a Dell PC Laptop. I've saved an Adobe Captivate 7 file, then exported it to Flash format. I can't open the FLA or SWF files that I exported. When I try to open the original Adobe Captivate file (using Adobe Captivate 7) it gets up to 60% and stops and says a "Fatal Error" has occurred and the program needs to close. I can't even open the Adobe Captivate software program to start a new project. My coworker tried opening the saved Adobe Captivate file on his computer but it said it was "open by another user or the file was corrupt" so couldn't open it there either. Please help!

Click on Organize -> Folder Options
Go to "View" Tab and check "Show hidden files and folder"
Once you click on "OK", you will see AppData
Thanks,

Expired Captivate File

Hi,
I have all the files in a zipped folder that were produced when I exported my captivate project. Now the file has expired. I did not keep the original captivate file. Is there any way to get my project back? I would appreciate any assistance with the matter. I can make the captivate files available if needed.
Thanks!

You mean that you don't have the original cptx-files? Then there is no way to republish, sorry.

Exporting Captivate into Flash

Hi,
When I export my Captivate file to Flash MX 2004, the file
has nothing in it.
What am I doing wrong?
Judy

Hi mindtube and welcome to our community
I am inferring from your question that you may think Adobe
employees are monitoring this forum. While we might see one or two
pop in here and there, by and large this is a total "user-to-user"
community. I'm a Captivate user same as you. So you might want to
post your question to support using the link at the bottom of this

Exported .exe file size limitation?

I tried to export my file as a .exe. The version previous to my current one was 39mb in size. The newest version is 41.5mb in size and it doesn't work at all. The main page either won't load or it won't allow me to click forward if it does load. Is this it? Help?

Sorry, I should have added more info.
I am using Captivate 5.5. I have only used this version and I have built it up from scratch in this version.
The last version of the working file I did exceeded 40mb in size. I have since deleted some of the pages to put it back under 40mb and it worked again.
The .exe file is self-contained. It is the only published file at this point, no links/calls etc... although eventually I will add an auto-run file but at the moment, nothing.

Exporting Captivate 3 to Flash CS3 (Vista Ultimate 32)

I saw the other topics describing issues involving exporting
Captivate to Flash, but I can't get the export to work at all. The
first couple times I tried I got the "unknown error," and now the
.cp files don't even show up in the list of importable files.
I've applied all the latest Adobe updates. I really need to
be able to work on these Captivate 3 files in Flash. Any help would
be appreciated.

Thanks for your help, Rick.
Yes, I've reviewed it and followed its instructions. I've
found that I need Flash to be closed before I start an export from
Captivate or nothing happens. (I can't import from Flash at all.)
Even when the export works, I'm only getting the first slide.
So it looks like I have some poking around to do. I was hoping this
was going to be a "press a button and go" operation (yeah, right).

NWDS 7.0 Error during Quick PAR Upload and while trying Exporting PAR-File

Hello,
I am trying to use the functions "Export as PAR-File" and "Quick PAR Upload" in NWDS 7.0.
Unfortunately I got an error every time when I am trying to use this functions. I am using the package explorer in the Java perspectiv in NWDS for starting this functions. The error tells me the following:
"Unable to connect to the Portal"
"Operation failed: Please make sure the server "XY" is running or check the log (sap-plugin.log) for more detail"
Thats all.
When I am looking in the log-file I can read the following messages:
"ACCESS.ERROR: Authorization check for caller assignment to J2EE resource [keystore-view.TicketKeystore: view-actions: GET_VIEW:ALL]"
"ACCESS.ERROR: Authorization check for caller assignment to J2EE resource [keystore-view.TicketKeystore: view-actions: IS_VIEW_EXISTS:ALL]"
"ACCESS.ERROR: Authorization check for caller assignment to J2EE resource [keystore-view.TicketKeystore: view-actions: SIZE_OF_VIEW:ALL]"
"ACCESS.ERROR: Authorization check for caller assignment to J2EE resource [keystore-view.TicketKeystore: view-actions: READ_ENTRY:ALL]"
LOGIN.ERROR|null|| Login Method=[default] UserID=[user_Admin] IP Address=[192.168.xxx] Reason=[Cannot authenticate the user]
I have tried this with several users and their passwords. All of the users have admin-rights at least in the portal. One of them even in the SDM.
I can sucessfully deploy webdynpros from NWDS into the same Portal with this users.
We are using SAP Logon Tickets and SSO is configured working fine between Portal and backend.
We have imported Key Store File in NWDS unter Window --> Preferences --> Java Development Infrastructure.
And we are not using the NWDI.
Who knows why I cannot even export par-files? Are their any configurations missing?
Best regards,
Iris

It is mentioning about authentication.
check whether you have access to deploy directly or not ? maybe direct deployment into portal disabled .
I think you have to follow the procedure of checkout and activate procedure.
Can you clarify few things
1) Are you using NWDI Based Transports in your landscape?
Login Method=default UserID=user_Admin IP Address=http://192.168.xxx Reason=Cannot authenticate the user
http://192.168.xxx is it your development portal?
Did you clarify with admin people whether direct deployment disabled?

Error in exporting photoshop file

We have several copies of After Effects being used in the office. Both myself and another user have encountered a problem saving as photoshop layers. It gets 87% or so into it and then gives the error; "error in exporting photoshop file" in the info window. Any thoughts?

I don't think expressions should have any influence on teh matter. They are just another way of formulating an animation stream value just like keyframes. Icould think of a few things:
- The new pixel aspect ratio handling in CS4. Due to the conversion, something may happen to the source footages.
- Layer styles. this may cause a "cyclic use" of the Photoshop engine. Some of that stuff has changed quite a bit for CS4 to accomodate Ps Live 3D and teh new adjustment layer model.
- Hardware accelerated effects. CS4 passes through OpenGL acceleration through all comps. Using an effect that uses it and happens to think it doesn#t need to fall back into software only mode, may cause a hiccup.
- MediaCore. Similar to the previous, it uses hardware acceleration and may show weird behaviors, varying solely based on differences in graphics cards.
In particular for the last two points I would think it is what makes the difference between your systems. One of them has not enough juice on OpenGL, so it's "safe". I'd definitely investigate along those lines.

I am trying to export a video I have made in FCP 10.0.8 to Youtube or to a master file and I keep on getting an error -50, or "error exporting master file at frame 20074" Any ideas?

Having used FCExpress for a while I decided to give FC Pro X a trial, I created my first video with it, exported to youtube and it worked fine. I am now trying to export my second video to youtube and I get an error -50 which means absolutely nothing. Not being defeated that easy I tried exporting to a mster file using the H.264 codec and I get an error "exporting master file at frame 20074" - again another useless error. It takes at least 10 minutes to get to this error after the rendering has started, it gets about 12% in. Any ideas where to start - I am seriously at the point of giving up with Final Cut Pro X simply on the basis of it being more trouble than its worth - I am just glad I did not pay for it yet...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Gerry

Hi Russ,
Thanks for your response. I am not an experienced user of FC or other video editing software but if its that hit and miss I think I will go to the trouble of finding some better software - I have a busy enough life as is, I don;t want to get into second guessing what a software problem might be!
I have just successfully exported my video to a master file using one of the Apple codec options so it looks like it could be to do with the H.264 codec. I am wondering if Apples Compressor software would solve this problem - the only way to try this it to buy it, there is not trial for the compressor app. Any ideas?
Thanks
Gerry
