Trouble Importing PowerPoint 2003 file into Adobe Captivate 3

I am using Adobe Captivate 3 and am having difficulty importing a owerPoint 2003 file. The file has 26 slides but Captivate only recognizes 17 of them. The powerpoint file has no transitions or animations set that would cause any issues. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?
By the way when I open up Powerpoint and import the slides from my original file and do not keep the source formatting, the end file will be come into captivate fine(all 26 slides) but an animation that was not there originally now exists.

Hi there
You could try just running the PowerPoint and recording it from Captivate as it plays.
You would also want to report the issue as a bug.
Cheers... Rick

Can't import an m2t file into Adobe pre

Ant idea why I can't import one of my m2t files into Adobe pre? It is over 1gig. I can import a couple of other m2t files of mine but when I try to import this file, nothing happens. Please help if possible. Thank you.

I just discovered that none of the files from the external drive they are
from will import. They say they are indexing but come up with the
red and green arrow, the one you see when it can't find a file.
Thankfully I've found a workaround but its adding an additional step/conversion.
I should add that those files will play back fine with Windows Media Player. Help!

I am having major issues importing Animated gif's into Adobe Captivate

Hi everyone
Captivate 7 (64 bit) keeps crashing when i import animate gifs into flash.
It's a serious workflow issue for us as the project requires animated gifs.
I don't have any files to supply for this query as i can't even import gif's into a blank doc.
Has any one found a solution for this issue ?
Adobe ?? Have you got a fix for this bug ?
Thanks in advance
Nick

How were the GIF's created? Which version of 7 do you use, you can see the complete version number under Help, About Captivate.
I have been using animated GIF's in 7, they were created with Photoshop. And I know that each frame in the animation has to have a duration that is not 0secs.

, Trouble importing from text file into PDF Acrobat 9.0

Hey all!
I'm trying to use the JavaScript found on this Adobe page to insert text into my PDF:
http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/h tml/wwhelp.htm?context=Acrobat9_HTMLHelp&file=JS_API_AcroJS.88.502.html
this.importTextData("/c/data/myData.txt", 0);
Replacing the path with my own path, of course. However, I can't get it to work at all, it just crashes my JavaScript. I was thinking it might have something to do with the privilege stuff which, admittedly, confuses me a bit. But my understanding is that if you use the function without arguments, that shouldn't matter, and it will prompt the user for a path?
this.importTextData();
However, that still crashes the JavaScript. I'm not sure what exactly I am doing wrong here?
NOTE: I have tried running the JavaScript both in a checkbox and on page load.

Well I was having trouble getting it to work without a path, though that kind of mysteriously started working now despite the fact that I didn't really change anything. I also assumed that part didn't apply to me because we are on 9, not 8, but maybe it means 8 and on?
I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my mind around privileged and non-privileged contexts.
These methods can be executed only in a privileged context, which includes console, batch and application initialization events.
What would be the simplest way to execute in a privileged context? "Application initialization" sounds promising, does this mean when the application is first opened? If so, how would you execute JavaScript this way?!

Can I import I-life files into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4?

Okay, so not exactly an Apple question, but there are so many smart, helpful people on here, and the Adobe forum doesn' t seem very active.
I recently got Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (the movie editing software). I tried to import files from I-photo, but those folders wouldn't even open. Tried to import files from the movie folder, which were in .mpg format, but got a message that it is an incompatible format.
Those were just simple movie files taken with a small digital camera. Does anyone know how I could use this footage in Adobe Pro? I have access to other Adobe software as well, perhaps there is a way to convert the files? If I try to import something to Adobe from I-movie, should that work? Or from I-DVD? Also, is it possible, with Adobe or regular Mac software, to import regular DVD footage (that is not in form of a computer file, but just something that plays in your DVD player) or perhaps convert it into a computer file? I have some old VHS footage that was copied onto a DVD and would like to edit it, or at least have it on my computer as a file.
Also, if I can't use those files, are there any places on the internet where one can download some simple footage to try out in Adobe? I'm new to it, so I'm just trying to get some files together so I can try out how it works.
Lastly, if anyone knows of a good online tutorual for CS4. It's an older version, and on the Adobe site they only have tutorials for the newer one.
Thanks!

This is a forum. None of the users here -at least not to my knowledge - are Adobe professional
Ninety-nine point nine percent correct. We are blessed with a few Adobe employees here, unlike some fora, but those folk are probably at NAB right now. Also, they are in other departments, so would have to walk "down the hall," or make a call, just as we would.
When it gets to issues on licensing, installation, etc., we're pretty much at a loss. Most of us have never encountered such issues, and only know what we have read in others' threads, when they have bothered to report back. Even then, that is third-hand info.
Last time that I had an Adobe installation issue was AI 3, IIRC. My upgrade version did not have the old database of S/N's. Mine was 00-000-003, and things had changed drastically. One call to Adobe, and a total time of about 5 mins. (including hold time), and I was given a number to plug in, and then everything installed perfectly. That was in about 1989, so is not quite contemporary. Still, that is the last and only first-person account that I can offer. Most here have zero personal experiences, as they came to the party later, and have just not had any such issues.
We'd love to help, but just do not have the experience.
Good luck,
Hunt

Trouble importing a Pagemaker file into CS 5.5

I am VERY new to ID 5.5 (today is my first day). I m trying ID because it is supposed
to import Pagemaker files So in my first attemp to open a PM6 file it fails.
But i'm so new I dont even know who to 'point the finger at'.
The non-working symptom is that the PM doc has a number of images
which ARE importing correctly, and bunch of body text which also
is importing correctly. But each imported image has small text area
associated with each one that contained a photo title in the original
PM file. The 'title' areas import as text box ares but the text boxes
are EMPTY.
I am to new with ID5.5 to even know where to start. I cannot load
the former PM files because my former PM was on a Windows XP
system, and I'm now on an Win7 (64bit) system and can no longer
install Pagemaker on this Win7 system.
I would be pleased to load any of the files if that wouls help.

Bad news. Defaults only affect things in the future, not existing work, so you'll have to go spread by spread and make adustments in the files you already have.
For new work, Text Wrap should not be turned on by default, but best to check. With no docs open, open the Text Wrap panel and be sure the icon on the far left is chosen (no text wrap). You'll want to do the same for every old file you open to be sure you don't add unwanted text wrap to every new object you add. In ID, setting defaults, with a few exceptions, works this way. Things you set with no files open affect all new files, things done in existing files with nothing active or selected become the new default for the current file.
As I mentioned earlier, you can set the application preferences for text wrap to only affect text below the wrapped object (essentially mimicing PageMaker and Quark), so that might be another option for you in these converted files, but in general, it's a bad way to go for any "modern" file where you might want to actually make use of the additional features ID has to offer like transparency, blend modes and drop shadows, and support for placing tranparent images. Not obvious is that ALL of those things actually involve transparency-type blending, and when transparency is involved your type is at risk of being converted to outlines or rasterized for output. Keeping type at the top of the stack minimizes this risk, usually preventing problems entirely, but there are times when you might want text wrap to affect this text which is above an image in the stacking order. That's waht makes the default behavior so powerful -- you can have an image affect some text and not other by using the ignore text wrap option in the text frame options, but still use transparency effectively.

How to Import Vector Identified Files into Photoshop Without Losing Quality

Hello,
I am creating a series of music worksheets on photoshop. I have created some music scores in a music writing software called Sibelius 7. It has the capability to export the sheet music graphics in the following forms: .pdf, .eps, .bmp, .tiff, .png, .svg .
However, I have tried to 'place' each of them into my photoshop file to see which one will work. But on saving the photoshop document as a .pdf with any of the graphics formats, the vector quality of the image has been lost, as it pixelates on zooming in. I have also tried to import an .svg file into adobe illustrator to save it as an .ai file and then import that into photoshop, but the image is again pixelated.
I don't really know what is happening, as I am essentially trying to import a file that is a vector (or at least does not pixelate on zooming) into photoshop, hoping for the same qualities to be retained, but it is being lost for some reason.
What should I do?
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. I opened the vectored pdf into illustrator. I tested illustrator by saving that document as a new pdf and the vector quality was still retained. I the following images, I copied and pasted the vector from illustrator into photoshop. However, on saving this new photoshop document as a pdf, it does not retain the vector format, as you can see with the pixelation that occurs when zooming in on an object.
Thank you.

Converting Oracle UPK files to Adobe Captivate

Hello, my company needs to convert Oracle UPK files into Adobe Captivate files. We are changing systems and we don't want to remake all of our training simulations again. Does anyone know of a software program that can convert upk files into adobe captivate files?(basically, dhtml(for upk) into swf(for captivate).
Also, I've read the captivate uses cptx and upk uses odarc, these would be the collection of individual files that make up swf and dhtml, respectively...I assume. Any converter for any of these files would be nice?

I've never heard of a converter to do this. I hate to break the bad news, but if Captivate is your desired tool, then you'll just need to recreate your courses in Cp.

I am having trouble importing powerpoint to captivate

I am having trouble importing powerpoint to captivate.
I am using captivate 6 and powerpoint version2013.
I have saved my file three times with the right sequence, but when it converts to captivate ischanges the sequence of the slides. Not all slides have animation.

Hi there,
Can you please tell are you importing the .ppt or .pptx?
Captivate 6 is not tested with PowerPoint 2013, please check the help file link: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/microsoft-powerpoint.html
If the sequencing of slides is not O.K., then are you able to manually change the sequence in captivate? (as a workaround).
Thanks.

Import an FLV file from Adobe Connect into Premiere Elements 12?

The Adobe Connect support staff recommended that we use Adobe Premiere Elements to edit the FLV file that we exported out of their software. We purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 12 based on that advice. Now we see that FLV files are not on the list of supported import files.
How can I import an FLV file from Adobe Connect into Adobe Premiere Elements 12 for editing?

Welcome to the forum.
Over the years, I have used Moyea's Flash Importer plug-in for PrPro, and it has worked perfectly. With about PrPro CS 4, IIRC, Adobe did add an FLV Importer, so Moyea began to suspend development of that plug-in. Then, with the release of the CC version of PrPro, they dropped FLV completely.
Now, Moyea does have other programs, but I do not know if any of them are plug-ins for PrE. However, many of their programs can create, edit and output FLV.
There is also a (free, if memory serves) FLV converter, FLV to AVI, which I used to convert FLV files, before I discovered the Moyea plug-in for my PrPro.
I would look into Moyea, to see if there is anything, that will work as a plug-in to PrE, http://www.video-to-flash.com/products/, and if not, explore a program, such as FLV to AVI: http://www.pazera-software.com/products/flv-to-avi-converter/
Good luck,
