Setting up captions for a Captivate 4 template

I am trying to set up a new template based on a previously used file. I want to change the style of the caption. When i go in to the properties of a caption in my file and select Custom from the list, and then select the More folder, i select one of the YellowOne1 bitmap files. this is one of the standard ones that came with Captivate.
However, i would like the caption properties box to show all variations of this yellow color (e.g., with pointer facing up, down, left side, etc.). However, it shows only the individual caption type that i selected.
Is there a way to have all associated captions show up in the main captions properties window?

Hi there
You can make this happen by opening Windows Explorer. Locate the More folder and copy all the associated files for that caption type from the More folder to the main Captions folder.
You will likely need to restart Captivate afterwards in order to see the variations.

Set multi org for pdf generation report template

Hi I am new to xml/bi publisher reports.
we have one report which generated invoice pdf files for all the operating units which was developed earlier than me.
for this we have only one rtf template in which all the formats are defined
suppose usa the us format and uk the UK format.
now the requirement is that we have added 2 more operating units so i need to add these operating units to this report to print these ou invoices also.
for 2 new OU's they are saying use the UK(existing) format.
Could anyone plaese tell me where should i map the template to operating unit.

Setting track for a captivate course

Does anyone know if you can set up "tracks" for a captivate course in the LMS.
I have a course with a lesson that is only applicable to certain group of learners and we dont want the rest of the company to view that information.
Our LMS does have the capability to set up tracks for courses created directly in the LMS system, but I originally created the course using captivate instead.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

If it is critical that one role does NOT see what the other role should see (e.g. for security reasons) then you need to have three separate versions of the course and set up your LMS to determine which role the person belongs to so that the only choice they get is the one appropriate for them. Most LMSs allow you to configure role-based learning this way. You add people to the roles set up in the LMS and that controls the learning options they see.
Doing what I suggested in Captivate is really just a way to have slightly personalised content for different roles inside the same project file. But the downside is that when you get to the quiz, everyone has to do the same questions, otherwise your quiz score can never be 100%. Then you'd need to resort to using a target for points scored instead of a percentage out of 100.

Captivate 3 Template Caption Cache Issue - Fixed in 4?

Well the title pretty much sums it up. We have learned that regardless of the caption preferences set and saved in a Captivate 3 project template, caption setting are overridden by the last set of caption preferences that were used. For example, I set the correct caption to be adobe green in my template, then saved and closed my template. Next I open a completely new project, use adobe blue for my correct answer caption, save and close that project as a seperate file. From here, if I open up my template and either work straight from it or import any other slides (tried it both ways), the correct answer caption will be adobe blue.
So here is the question, is this fixed in Captivate 4?
Thanks

Hi again
I believe in this case you are simply having a misunderstanding of how templates are intended to work.
What you want may be achieved by using a new feature in Captivate 4 called a Design Template. The fact we see Adobe added Design Templates probably attests to the fact that some users such as yourself found and expressed a desire as you have here. To easily influence content after it has been created.
I'd suggest downloading an evaluation version of Captivate 4 and testing to see if it meets your needs. If so, Bob's your uncle!

Is there a way in Captivate to set the reporting for a quiz so it saves/keeps the highest score

Is there a way in Captivate to set the reporting for a quiz so it saves/keeps the highest score despite how many attempts a user takes?

There is currently no built-in functionality to do this in Captivate.
If you are using an LMS, this sort of thing is normally handled there. For example in Moodle there is an option to use the highest score out of all attempts on a course.

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

What's in a Captivate 3 Template?

Our team created a template in Captivate 3. Our intention was
that Helvetica would be the default font for recording. When some
of my colleagues opened the template Helvetica is the default font,
when I open and record Arial is the default font even though I have
Helvetica properly installed in my fonts folder.
I tried an experiment. My intent was to transfer my knowledge
from my experiment to the problem at hand. So bear with me. This
approach to problem solving is a bit convoluted.
I set Arial Baltic as my default font in Captivate
Preferences. I then attempted to record. Bizarrely Arial not Arial
Baltic was resulting font. When I clicked on the font to look at it
after recording Arial Baltic wasn’t there, no indeed it was
Arial – just plain Arial. Now mind you I had gone into
Preferences and set Arial Baltic as the recording font for the
project. And I went back into Captivate Preferences Recording and
looked there it was staring me in the face - Arial Baltic –
the default font.
I performed this little experiment because I wondered about
font substitution and what might be happening with that. I
suspected that Captivate 3 performs font substitution when it
cannot find a matching font. But then I wondered why Arial Baltic
was available at all if Captivate if one could not record using
Arial Baltic. I thought the same logic would transfer to my
Helvetica problem.
I went into Preferences Recording Default and changed all the
fonts to Helvetica. Magically the Captivate template would record
in Helvetica. But then I wondered why have a template at all if you
couldn’t make the fonts specific to your project by using the
template. What I found astounding is that if you go into the
Recording preferences the Preferences actually appear to be
non-specific to the template – they appear in fact to be
Adobe Captivate 3’s preferences, not preferences specific to
the project – even thought “Project” is the
section of the preferences you are taken to and fill in.
What gives? Any ideas?:frown;

Hi there
I'm going to answer for Captivate 3 here. Captivate 4 brings new functionality with Templates.
Basically any project may become a template. You simply click File > Save As and save the project as a template. The primary objective of using a template is consistency. For example, let's say you wish to record a series of Captivate videos showing the user how to do different things using Windows Notepad. Beforehand, you know you are going to create several movies. You also know that you would like to have a standard look and feel to them. Perhaps you always start off with a specific title slide to announce what the movie is about. Perhaps you also always have a second slide that presents navigation instructions. And, of course you always want a conclusion and closing slide. Maybe you have a specific Skin that uses a specific playback control. You also don't wish to use a Preloader and you want to change how the movie starts and ends.
All of this may be configured in a Template. You then use the Template when you create new projects. The dimensions are pre-determined by the template. You record your actions and just sort of "fill in" the middle of the Template.
Note that one of the issues cited in the original post (OP) was a certain expectation that by setting the Caption styles and fonts in the template, you are setting them for the recording process. But if you read it carefully, the OP reveals that this isn't the case. During the recording process what ends up in the project is the choice made for your individual installation of Captivate.
As many folks seem to expect the Template to also govern the captions used when recording a Demonstration, it would make sense to see that built into the product. So please take a moment to suggest it to the Development Team using the Wish Form. (Link is in my sig line)
Cheers... Rick

Closed captioning for rtmp streaming video

hi, is it possible to do closed captioning in adobe captivate 5.5 if the video is set to rtmp? any reply would be helpful. thanks!

What is the subject matter of these FLVs?
If it's Captivate screen captures, then you could have added the CC text to each slide if you had left them as FMV slides.
However, if the video content is of other things, e.g. people talking or some type of action captured with a video camera, then I believe your best solution would be to add the Closed Captioning in whatever tool you used to edit and publish the video.
As I mentioned before, Captivate doesn't really provide a mechanism for adding CC text to on screen objects that contain audio in any form. So for example, you cannot add CC text to an SWF that you've inserted as an animation, even though you can record and add audio to that SWF in Captivate. Videos are in a similar position, except that they usually don't have their audio added in Captivate. They mostly come with their audio track built in. This means the only real way to guarantee good synchronisation of the CC text is to have it embedded in the video as well.

How to set PDF version for the output file in ES4

I am using LiveCycle ES4 for converting word docs to PDF. In our client we invoke createPDF method of GeneratePdfServiceClient class. We are using a custom PDF setting in LiveCycle in which we have defined configuration as per the business requirement.
We need the PDF version of the document to be set to 1.4. For this, we are setting the value for compatibility (under File Option) to Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4) in custom PDF setting template in LiveCycle adminui and in Acrobat preferences. Both these setting are not working and the resulting document has PDF version set to PDF1.5. Can you tell me how the version of resulting document be set to 1.4??

Hi Neelam,
I tried it and did the personalization as the help documentation said.
But I don't know why it doesn't work:(
I followed these steps:
1. open workbook and select a value for the variable used in query
2.click personalized variable and new window pop up then I select the value I chose and added to the selection.
3.click ok and quit
4.save workbook
but next time I open this workbook, the variable selection window still pop up.

How do I set up/install my complimentary "PDF Portfolio Templates" zip file?

How do I set up/install my complimentary "PDF Portfolio Templates" zip file?
The Download site says: "Please click the button below and select “save” when prompted to download the files to your computer.* To add your content, simply open Acrobat XI and follow the instructions."

Best practice for Active Directory User Templates regarding Distribution Lists

Hello All
I am looking to implement Active Directory User templates for each department in the company to make the process of creating user accounts for new employees easier. Currently when a user is created a current user's Active directory account is copied, but
this has led to problems with new employees being added to groups which they should not be a part of.
I have attempted to implement this in the past but ran into an issue regarding Distribution Lists. I would like to set up template users with all group memberships that are needed for the department, including distribution lists. Previously I set this up
but received complaints from users who would send e-mail to distribution lists the template accounts were members of.
When sending an e-mail to the distribution list with a member template user, users received an error because the template account does not have an e-mail address.
What is the best practice regarding template user accounts as it pertains to distribution lists? It seems like I will have to create a mailbox for each template user but I can't help but feel there is a better way to avoid this problem. If a mailbox is created
for each template user, it will prevent the error messages users were receiving, but messages will simply build up in these mailboxes. I could set a rule for each one that deletes messages, but again I feel like there is a better way which I haven't thought
of.
Has anyone come up with a better method of doing this?
Thank you

You can just add arbitrary email (not a mailbox) to all your templates and it should solve the problem with errors when sending emails to distribution lists.
If you want to further simplify your user creation process you can have a look at Adaxes (consider it's a third-party app). If you want to use templates, it gives you a slightly better way to do that (http://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_WebInterfaceCustomization_AllowUsingTemplatesForUserCreation.htm)
and it also can automatically perform tasks such as mailbox creation for newly created users (http://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_AutomatingDailyTasks_AutomateExchangeMailboxesCreationForNewUsers.htm).
Alternatively you can abandon templates at all and use customizable condition-based rules to automatically perform all the needed tasks on user creation such as OU allocation, group membership assignment, mailbox creation, home folder creation, etc. based on
the factors you predefine for them.

How to set output size for mp4?

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the export of a Captivate video tutorial.
The output size is w 1440 x h 900 pixels. It comes out looking fine, but as soon as we put it through any other transcoding process as required by our own workflows, the image quality deteriorates.
Now, I've read in this forum that any alteration of the size of the image will cause this deterioration in quality. Effectively, the dimensions of the transcoded output from our own video editors are much smaller than those of the input mp4.
However, we would like to keep that smaller size because it makes for better performances in video streaming.
Is there any way in Captivate to set the dimensions for the mp4 output to be smaller? The 1440 x 900 dimensions are already different from the capture area (the whole screen), so it seems they are independent from the capture settings.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Different caption for each photo in web gallery

When you take your selected Photos from Library to WEB is it possible to have a different caption for each photo. If I select 1 photo from the import and change its caption using the caption popup in the "Image Info" pane all the image captions change even the unselected ones.
How can I change individual photos so that they will have individual captions in the web gallery?

You should change the caption metadata field in the Library module. Go to the Library module, select the image you want to change the caption on, in the right panel, scroll down to the metadata section. Make sure that the popup to the left of metadata is set to "default" and you should see the standard metadata. Simply type your caption here. Then, if you've done this for all your photos, go back to your web section and make sure you set the caption popup in the image info section back to "caption", which will use the info in the caption metadata field for each photo automatically.

How to read and set Pane value for new adding folder

Hi Experts,
I tried to add a new folder in to a system form as below
Itm = form.Items.Add("UserFolder"), SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_FOLDER)
form.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("F_new", SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_SHORT_TEXT, 1)
Dim oFolder As SAPbouiCOM.Folder
oFolder.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "F_new")
oFolder.GroupWith("138")
My quester is what is the panelevel for this new folder? And how to set value to panelevel for this folder.
If we design a folder from Screen Painter, we can set the pane value manually, can we do this from code?
Thanks a lot
Tim

Hello,
You do not have to set any panelevel for your folder, if you would like to display it all the panelevels. (Let's see an example on Item Master data form).
Sales, Purchase, Inventory etc tabs (folders) are always visible, there is no panelevel set for them.
To change between panelevels, you can trigger et item pressed event, and before_action = false, then you may change the panelevel of the form poperly.
For initially you may use the Folder.Select() command to show the default panelevel
>The problem is here, it looks like oFrom.Panelevel property can only accept integer value, so how can I know what's the pane level number for my folder?
Do not set panelevel for your folders, you should drive your form's panelevel based on a selection tree:
To see clear, please check the following code in the help sample: CompexForm
C:Program FilesSAPMásolat - SAP Business One SDKSamplesCOM UIVB.NET07.ComplexForm2003
to make it clear:
        '// Adding Folder items
        For i = 1 To 2
            oItem = oForm.Items.Add("Folder" & i, SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_FOLDER)
            oItem.Left = (i - 1) * 100
            oItem.Width = 100
            oItem.Top = 6
            oItem.Height = 19
            oFolder = oItem.Specific
            '// set the caption
            oFolder.Caption = "Folder" & i
            oFolder.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "FolderDS")
            If i = 1 Then
                oFolder.Select()
            Else
                oFolder.GroupWith(("Folder" & i - 1))
            End If
        Next i
This code add 2 folders to the form: and the first (i = 1) is selected.
IN itemevent, the panelevel property of the form is depending from the item you have clicked:
Case SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_ITEM_PRESSED
                    '// Check if the event was raised by one of the Folder items
                    '// and change the form's pane level
                    If pVal.ItemUID = "Folder1" Then
                        oForm.PaneLevel = 1
                    End If
                    If pVal.ItemUID = "Folder2" Then
                        oForm.PaneLevel = 2
                    End If
