Print Adobe Captivate 8 project - error or grey block

Hi,
Im attempting to "print" a project only to return a failed message. When I am successful the Word doc returns grey blocks rather than content. Any help appreciated
Failing all that, is there a widget or other aid as a work around.

Hi there,
From the shared screen, I can see that the 'Slide notes' option is selected for print. Is it printing the slide notes correctly when the print works? The grey box is nothing but the slide, if you select 'Include Objects and question slide options' you can see that the slide getting exported as an image as part of the print.
Thanks,
Nimmy Sukumaran.

Adobe Captivate 7 Project How to make Rollover cations, audio, and video work in HTML format?

Adobe Captivate 7 Project How to make Rollover cations, audio, and video work in HTML format?

Honestly, I don't even know why this is an option. The conversion to Flash is completely unusable.
I have exported some things to Flash, and since I program in Flash all the time I was able to manipulate to work to some degree. Most text captions are built with multiple elements and completely fall apart.
Sorry, I can't be of more help.

Adobe Captivate 8 projects published to HTML 5 shows major loading problems and stops

Adobe Captivate 8 projects published to HTML 5 cause major loading problems in most browsers(IE 11, Chrome v. 35.0, Firefox v. 31). Loading… (screen)
The view stops after a while and only the Loading… (icon) can be seen on the page.
Is this a known problem with Captivate projects published to html5 and is there a way to fix it? What is wrong?
Test the html5 version of this project at: http://kurs.dokker.no/captivate/
and see for yourself what happends.

I changed the Preferences/Project/Start and End Preloader % to 25 and published the projects again. The course: http://kurs.dokker.no/captivate/elev/
stopped like before on one of the first slides, loading… screen like before in IE11.
In Chrome v. 37.0 the course worked badly, would not run, sound missing and buttons not working.
In Firefox 31.0 the course worked to a degree even if the program was advising to use another browser for this content.
In Opera 23.0 sound was missing and else working as bad as IE.
All this testes is done on a PC using Windows 8 connected på internet via ethernet, download speed: 66.57.
I would like to use the HTML5-format since it has a cleaner view than swf-files that appear to be jagged, but there is a lot missing before Adobe Captivates html5 publish is where it needs to be. Her are the complete html5 course and here are the swf based course for comparison.

Adobe Captivate Trial Installation Error

The trial downloaded fine but when installing Captivate I received the following messages during installation. In Windows, windows creates a folder named My Documents. However it appears Adobe Captivate is looking for a folder just called Documents which doesn't exist. If I look into "C:\Users\Tom Lansburg\My Documents\My Adobe Captivate Projects\Layouts\6.0\en_us", Adobe had already created and placed the files it is looking for here. Windows will not allow me to create a folder called Documents without first merging what the system folder contents of My Documents has in it. I was reluctant to do this since there maybe links to files in these folders that won't get remapped when I do this.

Adobe Captivate 6 XSS Errors with scormdriver.js

Using Adobe Captivate 6.0.1.240 and getting critical issue errors from Fortify scans by our security group. Does anyone know of a solution? I haven't been able to see issues in google queries and in the forums. --thanks
EXAMPLE
scormdriver.js, line 1032 (Cross-Site Scripting: DOM)
Fortify Priority: Critical Folder Critical
Kingdom: Input Validation and Representation
Abstract: The method WriteToDebug() in scormdriver.js sends unvalidated data to a web
browser on line 1032, which can result in the browser executing malicious code.

This looks like the code that outputs all the SCORM calls to a debug file (if the user invokes debug mode).
Dave's solution is probably the best one. You could make this change in the scormdriver.js template in the Captivate install directory, but make sure you keep a backup copy of the unchanged file in case you ever need to debug something with your LMS.

What is Adobe Captivate Project [Compatible Mode] vs Adobe Captivate 5 Project?

I have both types of files.
Does a file get the compatible moniker if you've brought it in from Captivate 4? Or even if you copy and paste some assets in from Captivate 4 projects (i.e. buttons, quiz screens, etc)
What does it affect? How can I get rid of this moniker?
Thanks.

I asked an experienced Adobe trainer and he said the [Compatible Mode] does not really affect anything.
We were having issues b/c even though Captivate 5 says it can be published for Flash 9, what they really mean to say is that Captivate 5 can be published to Flash 9.0.28 and above.
We had Flashplayer 9.0.16 so nothing would play. I thought it might have something to do with the files being [Compatible Mode], but that was not the issue.
We are upgrading now to Flashplayer 10.

Autoplay: Adobe Captivate 6 Project

Hi we created a project for a client and published a .swf. They came back saying they have a problem with the course not starting automatically.
" We have re-published the latest version and are still running into the same issue. The course does not automatically start. To begin the course, users will need to click on the first slide in the menu on the right. The first slide doesn’t appear so that we can include text to provide instruction. The users’ expectation is that the course will auto start. We have tried all we can on our end and seeing we are not the authors and do not have a way to affect settings, we are limited and can no longer troubleshoot.
We are having trouble viewing the course. It does not automatically start playing once it is loaded. It only works the next button or a slide in the outline is clicked; it does not automatically advance. We have uploaded the presentation several times and have tried a variety of work arounds but nothing works. "
We have checked the autoplay options under Edit>Preferences. Its fine and checked. At our end also .swf plays automatically.
Any help??

The autostart problem was fixed (for non-iOS) by adding this code to index.html (after 'Publish', before uploading)
script type="text/javascript"
$(document).ready(function() {
var isiPad = navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i) != null;
if(isiPad){
// do nothing
}else{
cp.movie.play()
Thanks to nateB in the following thread:
http://captivate.adobe.com/captivate/topics/captivate_6_project_publish_html5_for_autoplay _how_do_you_do_this
My project will now properly autostart in HTML5 running in Chrome on desktops.

Adobe Captivate 4 Installation errors:

Error #1: Unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file. I get this error as I click on the convert to speech button. After researching online for fixes, I have done all the tricks that was recommended such as going into the command prompt and running the regsvr32 NSAudio.dll file. I then come up to another error.....
Error #2 The module NSAudio.dll was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005. I do not know what to do. My other laptop installed correctly. HELP!!!

Sorry, all I can do is tell you that I was having the same issue you are reporting and advise that the steps I linked you to worked for me. I guess your situation must be different if you tried them and they failed to work for you.
I guess you can try calling Adobe support. But I've heard that many have bad experiences with them.

Adobe Captivate Cached Projects

I've never done anything with this file and wondered what would happen if I deleted its contents?

Hi Susan,
Have a look at this thread in the new forum, where a similar question popped up:
http://captivate.adobe.com/captivate/topics/adobe_captivate_cached_projects_folder
You can safely delete the contents, but I recommend to use the AIR application (link is in the thread, provided by Vish) where you can select which caches can be deleted. For recent files I will mostly keep the cache, because it can be a saver if even the backup (hope you activated the backup functionality) gets corrupted. Moreover, as Vish points out, project will start quicker if cache is there.

Jam issue when saving adobe captivate 3 project

Hi

japanese version of the captivate 3 ...
we retry to do another captivate same issue ... we have
enough free space ... etc...
what could be the cause
Thanks

Hi Vikram, I have done a number of samples, and it keeps happening. It seems any slide with motion on it gets the grey lines. When I'm typing, the lines are vertical. If I'm scrolling, the lines appear horizontal.
In fact, I've had it happen numerous times over the years I've used captivate (since version 5).
I confirmed I have version 7.0.0.118. I checked for updates and see there is one, but I have to wait for my company's admin to run the update. I have a feeling these lines will still be there though, as I've seen them in past versions as well.
I will certainly try the upgrade though! I'm so desperate I will do anything! These have been driving me crazy for two years now

Published EXE file Error-Adobe captivate 4

Hi,
I'm having problems with publishing an EXE file in Adobe captivate 4. I know it has something to do with our internet browser settings, we are a Court location and we have strict settings, but I'm wondering if there are work arounds through adobe captivate. See error below:
-allowing active content such as script and ActiveX controls can be useful, but active content might also harm your computer. Are you sure you want to let this file run active content? Y/N
-Help protect security, internet explore has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer, click here for options.
If you just select yes and proceed the captivate file runs fine and you can complete the training. Our goal is to be able to publish in this format because it's more stable than the PDF or HTML option but we don't want users to experience this error from the start.
Thanks for helping with my questions!

Hi, I've been trying to attach an image for the error message we get but not matter what I do it gives me an error and won't let me attach the image. Any suggestions or do you have an email I can send them too. The error message may be a little different than what I sent previously, it seems to give a different error message on different computers. But we are currently trying to create a new release of our training program so this should be the most current error message and the error message people will see when they open it on their PC's. Anyway this is what it says:
First Error Message:
File Download-Security Warning
Do you want to run or save this file?
Name: BasicCORIS_AttachAnAttorney.exe (name of our file)
Type: Application, 9.27MB
From: C:/CourtsOnlineTraining\Program Files\Dist....
Run Save Cancel (we select run, than you get next error message)
While files from the Internet can be useful, this file type can potentially harm your computer. If you do not trust the source, do not run or save this software. What's the risk?
Second Error Message:
Internet Explorer- Security Warning
The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?
Name: BasicCORIS_AttachAnAttorney.exe
Publisher: Unknown Publisher
Run Don't Run
This file does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher. You should only run software from publishers you trust. How can I decide what software to run?
I hope this makes sense. Let me tell you a little more about how our training is set up. We load the training on to a USB stick that includes a menu, the training modules, and a shortcut. Once the USB is downloaded on to the users PC they can select a shortcut icon for the training. Once they select the training shortcut it opens a menu that they can select training from. When they select on the desired training this is when they would receive these error messages. Our current release is in a HTML format, but because of this format the training interacts with the web browser and causes us problems so we were hoping to publish in exe and the training wouldn't open in a web browser.
Let me know if you have further questions or if I've just confused the situation more. Again thanks for your help!

Change default My Adobe Captivate Projects in v4?

I recently had Cap 5 installed, only to learn that it doesn't use AS2 at all...
So downgraded to 4.
Now, the program works fine as long as I'm connected to my work network, but as soon as I move the laptop to my home network Captivate won't start.
My IS guys and I are pretty sure the problem is that it's trying to access the project cache in My Projects, which is on a work-networked drive.
I found this link to tell you how to change the cache location in 5: http://www.cpguru.com/2010/07/20/adobe-captivate-5-project-cache/
But has anyone successfully relocated the My Adobe Projects folder out of My Documents using Captivate 4?
Thanks for any help!!!

Welcome to our community, Daniel
The best approach (until Adobe hears from enough folks to
change it) is to allow it to create the folder, then ignore it
exists and use your own preferred folder.

Adobe Captivate 5 not saving

Today when trying to save my Captivate file I am getting the following error and it is topping at 50% complete....
"Failed to add file to zip 2 compressed_data/data-69329916406.cpd . Unknown exception. The save file might get corrupted. You should try creating the zip again."
I have no idea what this means or what the fix is. Has anyone experienced this.
Windows Vista 64 bit.
Thanks for your help.

This error is telling you that Captivate cannot complete the save because it can't successfully zip one of the component files of your project.
A CPTX file is actually a zip file. If you go to your My Documents > Adobe Captivate Cached Projects folder and open any of the folders there, dig down inside the db folder and you'll find another folder called compressed_data inside which there are a number of cpd files. These are all the components of your Captivate project. One of these components is causing the issue.
First try clearing your cache under Preferences > Global Settings > Clear Cache and try saving again.
If this still doesn't fix the issue, you're going to have to start deleting stuff out of your project to locate the offending item. The usual suspects are any Flash animations, text animations, videos, captures of typing text.
Try saving your project as another file name and then deleting slides until you can successfully save. Something in what you deleted will be causing the issue.
