Printing a published project as slides
Hi there
I'm using Adobe Captivate 5. I would like to be able to print out my published slides to handout to staff. However when I go to print from the PDF I can only print 1 page at a time.
Is there a way to print all pages as Handouts ?
I've looked through the settings but can't seem to find what I'm require.
Cheers
Heidi.
Hello Rod
This does look much better thank you.
The boss has raised a query. The print out show all the Incorrect/correct/hint text as well as the action. Is there a way to set this up so that these will not appear on the print/handouts?
Hope to hear from you soon!
Cheers
Heidi

Slides disappear in published project
Hi everyone --
I am publishing a presentation that has basic PPT slides and
voiceover. When I publish, the backgrounds don't appear. I have
tried importing the presentation in again, but it doesn't seem to
work. Do I have to start over with a new project (I hope not, but
if that's what it takes...)?
Thanks in advance for your help!
JenniferWith copy background of one slide and insert with paste as
background in an other slide the background wasn't visible when
published. With slide properties (in edit mode) and change
background image I managed to show the new background. (after
uninstalling and reinstalling Capitvate2, by-the-way -- go to
adobe.com/go/cecfef75 for troubleshooting file). This method is not
as comfy as copy-paste because it is hard to choose the right
image. But still better than start from scratch. Does it help to
solve your problem? -
I use Captivate 6 and use a external NADY USB microphone to record my narration.
I record audio for each slide separately using Captivate's "Record Audio to Slide" function.
When I preview the slide in Captivate, the sound level is fine. Meaning I can hear the audio when the volume on my speakers are at the halfway point.
But when I publish the video, and watch it on my computer, or on YouTube, I have to put the volume all the way up in order to hear the narration.
Any thougths on what I may be doing wrong?
Is my system too old or not powerful enough to support publishing audio/video?
I understand that I may have to play with the sound levels to get the right sound to begin with. However, I don't understand why audio preview (both in slide preview and in "edit audio" player) is at one volume level, and publish is another volume level.
Captivate Settings:
My audio settings are set to Near CD Bitrate (96k)
I calibrate the microphone each time I use Captivate.
I publish to MP4 Video using the YouTube XGA present
All files reside on my C: drive. I do not use the network to store, run or backup files.
My system is:
Windows 7
Processor: Intel Core 2 CPU 4300 @ 180GHz
4 GB Ram
64 Bit OS
Sound: SoundMAX integrated Digital HD Audio
Microphone: NADY USB Microphone
Drivers for Microphone and Sound card are up to dateHi Vikas.
I tested recording audio with one slide. The published version did not appear softer when recording just one slide.
I then created a new project.
I got the same softer audio when publishing.
I also had 4 slides which cut of the first second of audio. (I made sure to move the audio about .25 seconds from the beginning of each slide, so there was blank space before and after the audio.)
One slide didnt publish the audio at all.
This project was smaller than my first.
This project consists of 23 slides. most with audio.
This time, I did all recoring via: Automatic demo,( no panning).
I did not use the "video demo" function.
What can be done to publish projects with audio successfully in Captivate 6.0.1.240? -
Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.AimeeLove,
I have a solution for you. You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock. I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
12 = 0
1 = 250
2 = 500
3 = 750
4 = 1000
5 = 1250
6 = 1500
7 = 1750
8 = 2000
9 = 2250
10 = 2500
11 = 2750
In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
myVar = setInterval(function(){
var pos = sym.getPosition();
if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
sym.stop(0);
clearInterval(myVar);
},10);
When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline. When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0. Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
In the mouseout section, put this...
sym.play();
clearInterval(myVar);
It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
Repeat this for each point on the clock. To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar. I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range. 50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it. So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Click boxes and buttons not working in Captivate 3 published projects
I really, really, hope that someone can help me...
we are migrating from Centra/Saba LMS to Connect Pro LMS and while taking our "old" SCORM projects and posting them to the Connect Pro server we have encountered an issue...and the reason it's very hard to trouble shoot is that it's not all of the projects....??
Once a project is pulished none of the buttons or click boxes are working - for instance we use a play button on the frist slide for students to enter the course - you click it nothing happens (except when you mouse over the button it does change color)...same with the click boxes - I can use the progress bar to move froward but anything I click just doesn't respond...
Has anyone encountered this? and I hope know something we can do?
THANKS SO MUCH,
JenDo your published projects work outside of your LMS?
Or is it just inside the new LMS that it isn't working?
Usually buttons and click boxes not working is because your slides are pausing before the button becomes active.
What version of Captivate and Flash are you using? -
Audio missing in published projects
I am using Captivate 4 on a Windows XP machine. Audio was working fine in Captivate and in all published projects until several days ago. Now it has quit working in published projects (preview in browser and published projects) although it still works to preview slides within Captivate. I have read everything I can find on the forums on these issues and have tried the following suggestions:
1. Removing the Captivate folder from my Documents and Settings directory so that the default audio settings were restored.
2. Downloading the audio patch update through Help>updates
3. Installing the NSAudio.dll patch file
None of these things has made any difference. Desperately looking for a solution now... Anyone have any ideas what else I should try?
Thanks very much in advance,
WhitneyLOL, glad you got it sorted!
I suppose it could have really been anything. Perhaps you just needed to reboot. Perhaps it was related to critters. I'd personally be surprised if that were it.
My personal vote goes for either phase of the moon or sunspots...
Cheers... Rick

What is "Force Re-Publish All The Slides?"
Captivate v5.5
Can anyone explain when you would select the "Force Re-Publish All The Slides" option within Publish ?
I have a feeling it has something to do with a project that you have made changes to after you have already published it, and you have to tell Captivate to update the changes before you publish the project again - but having to select this as an option that does not make much sense.
Maybe I have got it wrong.
NoelPlease forgive the long rant...but I feel strongly about this one.
As a former Technical Author who worked for software companies, I agree with the sentiment that Captivate's software documentation could be more complete and more accurate. But, since my tiny little family company also now builds small bits of software (widgets) I'm also able to see Adobe's side of this current argument. We get lots of customers or potential customers that think we should build something THEY personally happen to want, regardless of the fact that it would cost us ten times as much to build it as they would be willing to pay for it. We pick our target features very carefully because otherwise we wouldn't make a dollar on widgets. (We can actually make 5 times as much money just spending the same time building courses for paying clients as what we can programming and selling widgets.)
So, like it or not, it's Adobe's development budget for CP and they really don't have to ask our permission to use it...even if we DO pay for their software...any more than Ford or Chrysler should ask my permission to build a new model with XYZ feature because I once bought a car from them. If Adobe ask my opinion about what I'd like to see in the next version, I readily give it to them. But that's a privilege they extend to me. It's not my right as a paying customer to demand they take my advice and build what I want them to. If I can make a good enough business case for a new feature I suggest, it might make it into the next version, but it might not because something or someone else has a better argument for where the money should go. Some of my suggestions ARE now in Captivate 6. A lot still aren't. I personally don't fret about that. I just get on with using the tool as best I can.
I even set up the Captivate6IdeaScale site just after Cp5.5 came out to give other users a more visible voice in what features they wanted to see. That site is still up. If you doubt that Adobe listens to its customers, go there and look at how many of the suggestions people posted are now in Captivate 6.
Honestly, no company wastes their development budget on things they KNOW will not work. But picking which features will sell a product and which ones won't is notoriously difficult. And whoever told you "The customer is always right" was lying to make a sale of some kind or has never studied some classic business successes and failures of the past. Predicting success is just NOT that easy, and customers are only experts about what THEY want, not what the overall market will respond to. Read some recent books about "Innovation" and you will see that we would not have many of the current products we enjoy if it were always just up to customers to predict what would work and what would not. Companies that can't get it right often enough go broke or get eaten by bigger fish. Customers that can't pick good products are what keep a lot of these hopeless companies in business longer than they should be. Take a good look at where Adobe is in the software world. They're not doing too bad. I certainly wish I owned the company.
At the moment a lot of what has gone into Captivate 6 has been about covering areas where Cp has been losing ground to other products. Themes, the new SCORM drivers, Avatars and Clip Art figures, improved video capture, are just a few examples. But I agree that Captivate 6 is having "teething problems" and I personally think it could have done with several more BETA versions before release. However, having been on the BETA program myself, I also think it's possible many of the issues we are now seeing would NOT have been revealed by several more BETA versions anyway because the BETA team simply cannot cover all of the use cases and platforms where bugs will show up. So getting the product out as quickly as possible (even though it was a dangerous gamble with stiff competition from Storyline now in the market) might in the long run have been the better move. Who am I to say? Which one of us has built or managed anything as big as Adobe, or even a product with as many users as Captivate so that we can sit in judgement of it? I personally just DON'T think my business skills are THAT good.
I'm not defending Cp bugs...I can give you a long list of the ones I would like to see fixed too. But anyone that has worked with Cp as long as I have is accustomed to seeing these sort of frustrated forum posts after every new version. Does this mean that Captivate is a shoddy product? I don't believe so. I also happen to have Storyline in my toolbox (just in case one of my clients asks for it) and after buying it I also watched the Articulate forums daily for a while. There were plenty of bugs being logged there too, despite the fact that SL went through about a dozen BETA versions before release. -
How to publish a single slide?
I have a Captivate project with about 20 slides, and I want
to publish a single slide at a time. That is, I want to make 20
separate SWF files. Is there a way to do it without having to
delete 19 of them and publish one at a time - deleting all but the
one I want each time?
Thanks!Hi benhenny
I'm not sure why anyone would want to do it this way, but I'm
sure you have your own reasons.
I think you could do it like this:
In the Filmstrip or the Storyboard, select all slides except
one.
Edit the properties and hide the selected slides.
Publish the single slide.
Unhide the next slide.
Hide the one you published earlier.
Publish the single slide.
Repeat the process until all slides have been individually
published.
Hopefully this helps... Rick -
Unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12
Hi All,
We are unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12. We were able to see the excel output but it's printing junk characters while printing and it's printing without any issue with PDF format.
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
Thanks,
RajaHi Raja,
I presume you have gone through the debugging process of testing your template locally first to get the expected result.....
If yes, this note might probably be helpful "Changing Output Format to RTF or Excel in XML Publisher Request Does Not Display Output Correctly (Doc ID 404512.1)"
Good Luck,

Is there a way to create a site map of all RoboHelp topics in a published project?
My company uses an external search of our published RoboHelp options (as well as the internal; the external search covers all projects instead of a single one). We're looking to change search programs, but according to our web developer a lot of searches have issues finding the topics inside the published projects because of the way it links to topics using Javascript.
I think I know the answer to this question, considering it hasn't come up in any of my searches, but in case I need a second cup of coffee -- is there a site map or listing of links within a RoboHelp project that includes all the topics? Alternately, does anyone know of a service or program that can easily create a site map from a RH project? For reference, we're using RoboHelp 9.
Thanks!Look in Tools > Reports.
Some can be saved as files. Others you can copy and paste into a text file.

Series 3 iPad with latest software.
1) Is there a way to project a slide show to a projector or TV using Chromecast in conjunction with either Dropbox or Powerpoint, on the iPad?
or in absence of a "yes"
2) What is the best toy to buy so that I can mirror my iPad screen to a projector / TV? Note I don't need a $100 Apple TV brick, please.

Unable to print a publisher file from an RDP
Hello,
I get the following error when trying to print a publisher file when on an RDP. It will not print to the XPS either. I have tried administrator mode and this doesn't work and also tried restarting the RDP. This is affecting two users who have full access
to this document.
"The file %s cannot be opened. Access privileges have not been given."Hi,
Do you have any Security software add-ins installed in Publisher? Disable them to try again.
Please also disable the anti-virus program and firewall to verify if they are related.

The "Yes" is a link to a list of them. There are also a number of web-based services like 37 Signals.

My HP 6310 will print a test page fine, but will not print from Publisher, Notepad, etc. It goes thru the motions, but the image printed is almost not there. I have new ink cartridges in it. I have adjusted the print settings. STILL won't print properly. WTH???
Hm, okay, thanks for getting back to me again!
Try power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer and test print again.
