Cannot import the selected file. Refer to the documentation...

Hi all

Of the very basic knowledge on Adobe products please bare with me! We have deployed v8 Adobe Captivate our users to test and when they try to take a PPTX file and turn it into an interactive e-learning courses, it fails with the message:

"Cannot import the selected file. Refer to the documentation to ensure that you have installed the correct version of microsoft office.

We have the SP2 of Microsoft Office 2010 (x 86) installed Adobe Captivate 8 before us. We tested and this works if the user uses a PPT file (2003 / 2007 Compatible file) which is a workaround but isn't ideal because they then lose the functionality of 2010!

Anyone can confirm that Captivate 8 supports Office 2010, or this is exactly why we have this problem?

V9 does support Office 2010 if this is the case, as if a patch is not solve this problem, then we recommend the customer to go to the product V9. One thing is that we use 32-bit with 64-bit Captivate Office but the fact that it works with legacy PPT I doubt it is the origin of the problem.

Thank you!

As far as I saw, 9 Captivate does not handle this better than 8 Captivate.  But you can check it out yourself by downloading and installing the Cp9 trial version and see if that will import your PPTX.

A few other suggestions for you:

  • Make sure you run Captivate (regardless of version) using the command run as administrator.
  • Also set PowerPoint to be launched using run as administrator.
  • Don't try to import a huge PPT or PPTX.  Do your tests on something small, say 10 or 20 slides.  This will alleviate the question if you really do turn into is a matter of PC resources.
  • Test with PPTs very sober.  Captivate imports can stumble on some objects incorporated into the PPT Slides.  So just having pictures, text, and anything else in your PPT test.

  • Cannot import the Clipboard because the file is not a TIFF file.

    I'm not a frequent user of Photoshop, but for some time I still get the error message "Cannot import the Clipboard because the file is not a TIFF file."

    Another application place a TIFF file in the Clipboard, or at least advanced he was TIFF.

    When Photoshop or the desired BONE scan TIFF, there (because it cannot really be given TIFF).

  • VMware 6.5.5 cannot import the virtual machine that uses 2GB "disks of split.

    Hello

    I'm using VMware Workstation 6.5.5 under Win XP. I tried to import a virtual machine that was created by using the option 'Split' virtual disks into files of 2 GB. The import fails and presents a pop-up: ' Conversion Assistant/cannot determine the guest operating system. The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, there are more files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.

    Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?

    Thank you.

    -Phil Anzel

    FYI... VMware Workstation peut import a Virtual Machine that uses twoGbMaxExtentSparse discs.

    The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, rather there are files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.

    Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?

    The problem is that you're missing the "disk DescriptorFile", "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" and which is why it's a failure and not a limitation of the Conversion utility.

    Also if you actually had a Virtual Machine created in VMware Workstation 5.1 you can simply run directly under VMware Workstation 6.5.5 without having to run the import command.

    Anyway, if you have a backup that you can recover the file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" then you should be fine and if you have not then a new can be created.  If you can archive (compress) files vmware*.log (usually 4 of them) in a single zip file archive and tied him to a post in response, then one of us will create a new file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk", based on the information contained in files vmware.log for you, if you don't know how to do it yourself.

  • Cannot import the audio of any type in Flash CS6 Pro

    Hi all

    I have recorded voice over using hearing and try to import the audio files in Flash CS6 - the problem is that I get the error "one or more files were not imported because there was a problem to read the.

    I tried a multitude of various parameters during the recording of the hearing, including the types of alternative files, all with the same result.  To test yet, I tried to past audio recordings used in other flash videos and I get the same message.  Could someone post ideal settings so I can test that vs have to try each setting at random from there?  I'm running out of options (and sanity!) at this point.  Thank you

    RESOLVED - this issue has something to do with Windows 7.  I came across a thread where someone had a similar problem.

    Turns out that 64 - bit Windows 7 users MUST have Quicktime and iTunes installed for audio works correctly with hearing and Flash.  Flash gives constant problems without it.  Now if only Adobe would update their mistake so users understood what was happening and the resolution is as simple 20-minute download/installation of the e-mail software, life would be much easier for some of its user base.

    Hoping that it happens sooner rather than later.  Hope this post proves useful in the future

  • Cannot import the license key for VMware SRM

    Hi all

    We have 2 sites and have ESX4.0 3 for each site. We use VMware SRM for the DR solution, I managed with 'Recovery Plan Test', I want to import the license key for SRM, I now go with SRM Administrator's guide but I can't look for the text Licensing.LicenseKey box in the navigation pane of the window advanced settings (see attachment for details). Please give to recommend me

    Thank you & best regards

  • Theme Studio v5.0 - cannot import an SVG file

    I've read many tutorials on how to create themes using theme Studio, and I created an SVG file with the composer. When I load the Studio theme, I can't import from file > import, and there is no box to browse to SVG files on the tab of the home screen. How can I import the SVG file that I created...

    AAH... to allow you to import an .svg, the layout of the theme that you generate must be "custom".  You who choose when you go to file > new.  See if that does the trick.

  • Why is it we cannot import layered psd files in Muse?

    Hi people...

    I started just to enter the Muse and find it a great new option for designers like

    me who are not coders. But there has been a little frustrating things I met so far.

    What I ask here is... Why can not import a layered PSD file into Muse so that it opens with layers

    and the place to watch as the composite images? Instead we must import a composite image 1.

    Then go back to import and implement several layers at once which do not come in assembled but also outside

    parts of the place. Then to start assembling the design of the site we spent time in PSD design

    as there corresponds to the composite image puzzle.

    Adobe has been showing how powerful it is to be able to import a psd file into Muse. But we are not really

    fact that... Well well, with layers and composite image intact. Which adds tons of time that could have been

    better spend on something else. In addition, to make things even more tortuous we create is no longer working

    bearings in PSD and rather do somersaults through other apps for something so simple.
    Maybe I'm missing how these things are done in a more fluid way?

    If not... I can add 'really' import PSD files in layers with the States of working capital to the wish list?

    Thank you... Sorry if I frustrated look. I'm... I just spent 3 x the time needed to create a site with simple bearings header.

    Hello

    I'm a geek of speed here, and I wonder why you would ever want this. I learned very early with Muse of PSD files take up a ton of space, and this slows down your site.

    In fact, I learned to go in the complete opposite direction and save my PSD images to the exact size, when possible to 150ppi if it displays OK and with a JPG quality to 8-10.

    If you make a site that you expect other people to use, and especially on mobile, you can think about the size of the file or forget quality SEO.

    If you are looking for a picture of performance (speed/load time) site is max is to save MB each.

    Otherwise I do not know the answer to the question of the layer.

    I always say in situations like this do not devote the necessary time if you found nowhere BUT work on other priorities of the site.

    Good luck!

  • Cannot generate the Documentation printed in Word

    I'm upgrading from RoboHelp 5 to RoboHelp 7 because the old version is not compatible with MS-Word 2007. However, I'm unable to generate documentation with RoboHelp 7. He keeps giving an unclear error message:

    "Microsoft® Word has not been started on this computer.
    "Launch Word and click on 'Start using Microsoft® Word' option before generating the Documentation printed again."

    I run Word, but there is no option 'Start using Microsoft® Word' on Microsoft Word or RoboHelp 7. I thought it might have something to do with my regular user account. Yet, I still have the same error message after upgrading my account to an administrator.

    I found some articles with a similar problem, but I do not have open office installed.

    Can anyone help?

    After some research, I'm finally able to generate printed documentation. Not sure what I've done has really solved the problem. In any case, that's what I did:
    1 downloaded and applied this security fix for printed documentation.

  • Cannot import the image of the panorama - file too big

    I try to import a panorama image in jpeg format. The size is 437 MB and 49745 x 14786 pixels. When I select the image to be imported, Lightroom 6 fails with the error message: file too big.

    What is the problem? I thought the max image size is much higher? 300000 x 300000 pixels? What can I do to fix this? I am running Windows 7, 64 bit.

    The maximum file size is 64 k pixels from the edge of the longest (so OK there), or a maximum size of 512 million pixels, the lowest being retained. I think that your file is more than 700 million pixels, which makes it too big for Lightroom.
