Problem with Open URL: Adobe Captivate 4

I am using Adobe Captivate 4. I have a simple slide in the middle of my video that contains three text buttons--two of them "jump to another slide" when the user clicks them. The third is set to open a URL.
When I preview the video, this all works perfectly. However when I publish, the "open URL" button does not work.
Any ideas?

Problems with Opening URL in Captivate 5

Hi, we are trying to use a URL in our course and have tried the following ways:
Adding URL to a click box
Adding URL to Button
Adding URL to Advanced Action and Executing the Advanced Action
When we do this, the URL works in the Preview, but it never works in the published version.
The link is fine, we have tested this, and the buttons and click boxes are also fine in the preview, the issue is in the published version.
Is there any solution to this?
Thanks,
Sarah

If you are testing this published content from a folder on your hard drive or a network LAN, then the reason the link is not working will be that you have not set up the publish folder as a trusted location in Flash Global Security.
This page explains the issue and shows what to do:

Problem with opening URL (articulate) file in Captivate 3

Hi,
I created a Captivate 3 file, hoping to link an Articulate .html file if I click on a button.
I created a text button:
On success: open URL or file
URL: Z:\Tutorial\WebsiteTutorialReviewandSurvey_09_03_10\quiz.html
If I publish this file, I am able to play this file on my computer or any computer that is mapped to this drive. However, when I open the file on other machines, where this drive is not mapped, then the file cannot be opened. The file will be sent to other users who will not have access to my local drives, so I'm not sure how to set up my URL directory.
Can someone please help???
- is it the directory? "Z:\"
- I've also changed that to start off as \\servername\Tutorial\WebsiteTutorialReviewandSurvey_09_03_10\quiz.html = this also does not work
Thank you so much!

Hi, You most likely will find help at this Forum:

Also when you first open your thread here on the Flash Forum, you'll see a section to the right "More like This" that may be helpful as well.

Firefox problems with Open URL vi

I am using Open URL in Default browser to display the contents of a file.
If IE is the default browser and the file is xyz.htm it works but not if the file is xyz.html.
On the other hand if Firefox is the default browser it works if the file is xyz.html but not if the file is xyz.htm.
One further "quirk" with Firefox is that Firefox must be running for the file to display. If Firefox is not running Firefox starts but then instead of displaying the file I want it goes to a web site that sells Czech language books!
Is there any way I can resolve these differences? Can I find out what is the default browser? Can I see if Firefox is already running? Any suggestions?
Note: this is all in windows. I haven't tried it yet in Mac OS.
David

I think you're referring to the "Open URL in Default Browser" that you access from the Function Palette->All Functions->Application->Help subpalette. That VI is a simple wrapper around the "Open URL in Default Browser core" VI. Basically, to get it to work with Firefox you need to bypass the "Search and Replace" operation that it's doing, and then append a space to the URL that you enter and feed that directly to the "Open URL in Default Browser core" VI:
This will still work if IE is the default browser

Problems with SharePoint2010 and Adobe Reader X

hi all,
i have a big problem with SharePoint2010 and Adobe Reader x. We can open .pdf Files from SharePoint but not Safe. The Error Message is "
SharePoint, SQL and OS are installed in English. The problem is that the site was probably created from a German template. One would have to create the site from an English template and then add the other languages by MUI. It is a matter which language site in the settings under Language Settings is uppermost to:
how can the problem be solved?it looks like here, the reader still an error..
andre

Hi,
Could you repost the error-message that you see in Adobe Reader? The problem might be because of a known bug in Microsoft SharePoint server 2010. Certain required field types are missing in the German/French site templates which cause a SOAP request on the server to fail. A workaround is to add these field types to the library. You could add these fields manually or using a script. You could look for following field types which might be missing from the site template.
"Content Type ID","Approver Comments","Name","Document Modified By","Document Created By","File Type","HTML File Type","Source URL","Shared File Index","Title","Template Link","HTML File Link","Is Signed", "Document ID Value", "Document ID", "Content Type", "Created", "Created By", "Modified", "Modified By", "Has Copy Destinations", "Copy Source", "Approval Status", "URL Path", "File Size", "Item Type","Sort Type", "Effective Permissions Mask", "ID of the User who has the item Checked Out", "Is Checked out to local", "Checked Out To", "Unique Id", "Client Id", "Virus Status", "Check In Comment", "Edit Menu Table Start", "Edit Menu Table End", "Server Relative URL", "Encoded Absolute URL", "Property Bag", "Level", "Is Current Version", "Item Child Count", "Folder Child Count", "Select", "Edit", "UI Version", "Instance ID", "Order", "Workflow Version", "Workflow Instance ID", "Source Version (Converted Document)", "Source Name (Converted Document)", "Document Concurrency Number","Relink", "Merge", "Path"

Problem with an Url

Hello, I have a problem with the Url in the HTTP Service
<mx:HTTPService id="userRequest" url="http://ispedd.redios.it/iSchoolPDFManagerPortlet/imagepdf.do?idPdf=1&i dPage=0" useProxy="false" method="GET"/>
The service should open a PNG image and the error bring back is: The reference to entity "idPage" must end with the ';' delimiter.
Can you help me? Thank you.

Hi,
The url is OK, the problem is that properties for MXML cannot have included some characters. So you need to escape entities in your url and it will be ok, for example:
url="http://ispedd.redios.it/iSchoolPDFManagerPortlet/imagepdf.do?idPdf=1&idPage=0"
But it would be better if you do not hardcode params in URL. If you need you could hardcode them in Mxml itself like below:
<mx:HTTPService
     url="http://ispedd.redios.it/iSchoolPDFManagerPortlet/imagepdf.do"
     method="GET"
     id="userRequest">
     <mx:request>
          <idPdf>1</idPdf>
          <idPage>0</idPage>
     </mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>
or (which is more flexible) use parameters as argument when invoking service:
userRequest.send({idPdf:1, idPage:0});
You could read more on that in section about data integration in Flex in online or offline documentation:

Problem with opening of PDF in my webmail application

I have a problem with opening a pdf file in my webmail application of my internet provider in apple safari since yesterday. When I wanted to open up a pdf file I got a pop up message to allow a connection between adobe and the webmail application which I did. Since then I can not open up a pdf file. If I go to another browser or if I use email from another internet provider I use too it works and I can open up. It seems to be a blockage of the specific combination of this webmail application and safari.
What can I do ?

Hi,
I have same requirement.
I need to cnvert smartform->pdf->send mail.
The mail is send but the attachment is corrupted.
Can you tell me what code you have written so its working in developement?

Problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6.

Hi, I have a problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6. It is said: it isn't possible to carry out an order since the module of the file format cannot analyse this file

Don’t know if Reader has this, too, but in Acrobat one can check under Document Properties.
I can convert and place the file in Photoshop CS6.
I would recommend trying the usual trouble-shooting routines and if nothing helps un-installing, running the Cleaner and re-installing Photoshop. (After making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved to s secure location.)

Problems with opening Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files

Hi. We use Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to convert our product documentation Word files into PDFs. During the last weeks our customers report more and more problems with opening these files. We usually deliver those on a DVD with Acrobat Reader 5 or another older version. (Please don't ask me why we're still on these old versions!) Did anyone experience similar problems with Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files and older versions of the Acrobat Reader? Does Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 work smoothly with the newest Acrobat Reader 9.1 download?
Please post your comments. Thx a lot - Kay

I would recommend distributing higher version of Reader as version 5 is just too old but looks like you can't go there.
Acrobat 9 PDFMaker and Adobe PDF printers by default create PDF 1.5 compaible files. PDF 1.5 compatible files can be opened only in Acrobat 6 and above. That's probably the reason why your customers can't see the contents.
What you can do is to change your conversion settings to produce PDF 1.4 compatible files:
- In Word, select Acrobat tab or Adobe PDF menu (depending on your version of Word), select Settings
- Select "advanced settings" in the dialog that comes up
- Choose compatibility as "Acrobat 5", PDF 1.4
IF you print to Adobe PDF printer, you'll find a similar setting in the print dialog.

Problem with opendoc url.

hi experts,
i am having a problem with opendoc url in my dashboard.my url is to open a webi report depends on two prompts given by the user.
i am using the following url and it is working fine.
http://sysname:port/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&iDocID=123456&mode=full&nbPrompts=2&lsSEnter Year=Prompt1&lsSEnter Dealer=prompt2.
when i am entering a value for prompt2 like "krishna distributors" its working fine.but the problem here is whenever i am entering a value for the second prompt with a value like (ex:) "ravi & ravi distributors" its giving an message "NO DATA TO RETRIEVE" because it is considering the & symbol in my prompt2 as another parameter as shown below.
http://sysname:port/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&iDocID=123456&mode=full&nbPrompts=2&lsSEnter Year=Prompt1&lsSEnter Dealer=ravi & ravi distributor
can anyone help me on this.
thanks in advance,
ravi kishore yarramsetti.

Hi Ravi,
In Excel , & considers as "Concatenation. So it will not work properly. To make this work, use Dealer Number instead of Dealer name in ur example.
Eg:
Dealer Name                           Dealer Number
ravi & ravi distributors            D10001
krishna distributors                 D10002
If you use Dealer Number "D10001" you can get "ravi & ravi distributors " Information. In ur Dashboard Design, if the user clicks "ravi & ravi distributors" then pass "D10001" to the Opendoc and generate the report.
Try to not use which has special characters as the prompt in Xcelsius.
Thanks,
Muthukumar A.S.

Is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop. Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop. Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

I had been having a similar problem on Lion with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
I would constantly get the same messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
Then I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons.
This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

Problems with open an Indesign-Document over Network

Hallo,
we have a specialized problem with opening indesign-documents over network. Our users works with windows-pc (windows7) and adobe CS5 and CS6 and they will use there documents which are on our macserver 4.0 which works on OS X 10.10.2.
Sometimes the usurers become this Message
Wouldn't work indesign proberly on windows with documents which are on a macserver?
Please help me.
best regards
chris mueller

@Naga Sai J – you cannot open an InDesign CS4 file in the previous version.
But you can export an exchange file format for InDesign CS3.
Go to File/Export and chose INX for export: "InDesign CS3 Interchange-Format (INX)"
That .inx file could be opened with InDesign CS3.
After opening the .inx file, examine it well!
Some things might have changed (things regarding to newer or changed features from InDesign CS4).

Problem with image url

Hello,
today I have a problem with image url. I wanted Image to change when mouse dragged over it. But nothing happened. Any ideas?
def maxIco: ImageView = ImageView{
image: Image{
url: "{__DIR__}ikony/max.png"
onMouseDragged: function(event: MouseEvent){
maxIco.image = Image{
url: "{__DIR__}ikony/max2.png"
}

This is working for me:
src/main/Main.fx
src/main/icon/image1.bmp
src/main/icon/image2.bmp
//Main.fx
package main;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent;
var changed = false;
def imgView: ImageView = ImageView {
    image: Image {
        url: "{__DIR__}icon/image1.bmp"
    onMouseDragged: function (e: MouseEvent): Void {
        if (not changed) {
            imgView.image = Image {
                url: "{__DIR__}icon/image2.bmp"
            changed = true;
            println(imgView.image.url);
    onMouseReleased: function (e: MouseEvent): Void {
        imgView.image = Image {
            url: "{__DIR__}icon/image1.bmp"
        changed = false;
        println(imgView.image.url);

        width: 700
        height: 600
        content: [
            imgView
}I've changed few things to switch image only one time on mouseDragged event.
It print the image URL.

Problem with opening a indd file in CC 2014.

When I'm trying to open a 5.5 .indd-file in CC 2014 on my Windows computer, I get this error message: 'Either the file does not exist or you do not have permission to open it or the file is used by another program'. However my collague has no problem with opening the document on his Mac computer. I guess it has something to do with a kind of setting in my CC 2014. Can anyone help me?

Nothing to do with ID. It really means what it says - your file permissions are hosed and it being an ID file this could include things like fonts or placed images referenced within it.
