Impossible to draw circles or squares in Captivate (now the SHIFT key does not.)
Hello
I am trying to add seats and circle shapes to a Captivate 8 project.
Until I click to draw the shape, I hold down the SHIFT key to constrain the proportions. Captivate draw me an oval or rectangle all the same.
Error test I tried:
- You attempt to add a square in PowerPoint to now SHIFT work (so not a hardware issue?)
- Resizing my dratted rectangles and ovals to now SHIFT in Captivate forced the proportions, but not to a shape, I need!
- Now SHIFT while resizing of images also forced the proportions.
- The same error occurs also in my copy of Captivate 7?
I'm completely stumped. I know it's the basic function, but it is vital for me to be able to create a team available. Is it simply not possible to draw from the "perfect" square and circles in Captivate?

Look no further, Captivate doesn't have that 'basic' feature at all. Sign in please, apply. Apparently only few users is absent, because it has never been on the priority list. I've been this logging for all versions from 5... but without success. And don't forget: I think it's really an essential feature. Work to MOVE when you want to maintain the proportions, is not to draw a circle or a square. You must change the size by using the properties, and it takes a lot of clicks, certainly in CP8.

Tab key does not work for text input areas in Captivate 3
I'm building a software simulation of training where I am using text input boxes. Some use the enter as a shortcut key, some use the tab key. Those who use the keys work well, failure caption works by forced entry when you press Enter, it advances to the next screen. Those who use the Tab key does not at all. The legend of failure does not work and the Tab key does not advance to the next screen. I compared to those that work and those that don't work and I see no difference. I set the text entry box to pause at the end of the slide so that it should not be a problem here. I even tried to have the action 'to success"to be continue rather than go to the next slide and use a click box using the Tab key as a shortcut to move to the next screen - nothing helps! Is it possible that the Tab key could have been turned off somehow? I'm totally at a loss, please help!
Thank you!

Hello
If you check the address bar of your screenshot, you'll see that you are in the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\ [user name] \Application Data\Adobe".
Could be a possiblity that "Local Settings" folder is hidden, click on tools-> Folder Options, view tab, you have the option of "hid display files and folders.
You can see the local settings folder when you click OK, then you can go to C:\Documents and Settings\ [user_name] \Local Adobe application and rename the folder "Captivate 6.0.
Hope this helps!
Thank you

The last thing I remember install was itunes 10.5, so I don't think that is the problem, but this has never happened before.
... and there are all these weird symbols as of circles, triangles, squares/boxes in combinations all different...
If that's what you look for the desktop icons,... then the police Marlett has been replaced by the system font. This has been addressed and (I think) solved in the following thread.
Update loses wing dings font only appear the program has then no value
No particular answer has been specifically marked as the answer to the problem, but I believe that we have identified and solved the problem.

The characters downloaded from the asset store are corrupt, they will not open. Has anyone encountered this problem? If so how is it resolved?
I ran into this when I tried to open images in the image viewer / editors, but I could still place and use the image in Captivate through the menu of characters.
They may have the DRM or other coding anomalies that are not processed by applications, including PhotoShop image editing!

Export Audio Captivate, importing to 9 presenter does not load the published file.
Hi all
Quick back-story. We bought a subscription to Captive when they announced HTML5 support, but due to lack of devices supported, we also bought a subscription to the presenter who has a mobile app. Some of our content have been created using Captivate now these projects had voice over I had to export and rename audio files to associate with the correct slide. I went ahead and manually imported each individual audio file to the correct slide in the PowerPoint presentation.
My problem now is when I publish the PowerPoint (2007) with 9 to present project does not charge that he has just the rotation he arrow. For some reason any the project works in "Preview" mode, but not when it is published. Is there a way to find the path where are stored the cache preview files?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Jerry,

Captivate 5.5 skin editor does not open
I work in Captivate 5.5, and the skin editor will not open, on the Project menu, or with SHIFT + F11. Any idea of what is causing that? Is there another way to move to the skin Editor, such as publish dialog box? I couldn't find another way.
-Stuart
Hi Stuart
At any point did you have a second monitor attached? If so, it is quite possible that the dialog box is opened indeed, but last opening on the second monitor. In this case, you will need to make your resolution large enough so that you see sitting in the odd location dialog box or re - connect the second monitor so that you can then view the dialog box and drag it to the visible area of the screen.

Adobe Captivate 5.5 aggregator project does not move forward... Help
Hello
I have an aggregator project with two included Captivate SWF projects. For some reason, when Captain project finishes, the aggregator project stops, does not open the second SWF file. I have the last slide in the first project "on exit" "go to the next slide" value (I tried also to leave 'no action' in the form). It worked last week, and I can't understand what changed, or what I'm doing wrong this week. If someone else has encountered the question and can offer an idea?
Thank you
Tim
Well, the question seems to be if the aggregator published title is identical (in my case) the master SWF file. I just added a ' at the end of the title published aggregator and it works as it should now.

Some complex web sites like Huffington Post dot com home page load slowly. When that finally they load and you attempt to open a tab, many refuse to load. Blue circle continues to go round and round in a clockwise direction. The box in the bottom left of the screen says "Waiting for ' or 'Read' or ' transfer of" and the name of another web site that apparently contributes to the page. But nothing is happening for several minutes. The more common a 'suspended upward", it is called pixel.quantserve.com. Several attempts to "Reload Tab" do not help. This problem is not present in Internet Explorer itself. Have run AVG anti-virus several times and no viruses have been detected.

All of a sudden my iPad 3rd generation (3 years) can not find the server. 'Settings' are frozen and I can not change anything here. The wifi icon is present.

When I released the button, off ipad and when you press on again the opening screen came. I can't reset the ipad. What should I do now? Help, please. Carol
Take a look at this Apple Support article:
https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204051
Reset your network settings.
Settings - general - reset - reset the network settings
Reset your device. This will not erase your data stored on the phone.
- Press and hold the sleep/wake button
- Press and hold the Home button
- Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.
Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings
If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.
Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.
As a final step, try recovery mode. Turn off your unit, then plug it to your computer with the hold home button. Hold down Home button until you see the logo of iTunes on the screen of your device. After that on your computer, you should see the iTunes window saying that your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click Restore.

There is no way to set this search in the "Find" menu only.
Often, what is possible should also use other criteria used regularly.
For example, many scrapbookers define a canvas square by default with 3600 pixels for 12 layouts "* 12" with 300ppi. Looking for a h = 3600 (or / and w = 3600) works immediately. You can have several common square dimensions, you can try. Assign a common "IsSquare" tag for each combination of squares.
If your pixels sizes are approximately 3600, do something like:
h > 3500
AND
h<>
AND
w > 3500
AND
w<>
If it works, you can create a search recorded for each approximate size of squares.

Captivate 9 saved in the pdf format does not not in web browsers
Hello
I tried to download PDF files e-Learning interactive on my site to use as a portfolio. The e-Learning programs have been created in Powerpoint, and then loaded into Captivate 9 to add interactivity and saved as a PDF for the web. However, these PDF files opens in a web browser. The only problem I can find is when I open "Inspect" in each pdf, a warning indicates "/deep/ based communicator". Unfortunately, I do not know what it means or where to go from here. Any ideas gratefully received.
I don't know exactly, but it means that you have both Adobe Reader and Flash player (working together) were installed. What happens with this collaboration when the pdf file is displayed in (that) web browser, have no idea. It may also be due to something totally different, but I suspect it might be linked to this change for Adobe Reader (since XI (I think).
