Need to upgrade to Captivate 4 and need answers before buy you!

I called sales, Adobe technical support and customer service, and no one seems to have an answer for me and they put me on hold for more than 15 minutes, so I'll try this forum for help.  So if the gurus Captivate out there can answer my questions I would be very happy.

Currently I have Macromedia Captivate 1 Education Version and want to upgrade to Captivate 4.

1. in Captivate 1 if you create Flash demos, it creates an HTML file and a SWF file. I heard of someone who has the Captivate 3 that it creates now more than 2 files. Is this true for Captivate 4?

2. I read in the comparison page version Captivate that Captivate 4 has the ability to convert your Captivate demo in PDF with Captivate 4. If so, the PDF will carry the 'demo' features or will it be a PDF standard?

3. I have a Captivate 1 education version so it is less expensive to upgrade to Captivate 4 or just purchase Captivate 4 and Captivate 4 has a version of education?

Thank you!!

Hi again

Unfortunately, the answer to the question of the files number is a bit like asking how long is a piece of string.

At a minimum, you will see generally three files.

  • The HTML file that is used to present the film
  • The SWF file that is presented from the inside of the HTML file
  • A JavaScript file called standard.js

Under certain conditions, you can see other files. For example, perhaps you have made a few clicks and trolling the mouse while you were recording. Each of these likely results in additional SWFs. Or maybe you used a FLV in the film. Each FLV is normally a separate as well. Or maybe you have opted for the option "full screen" when you posted. Which would result in a second HTML file. If you use the feature of issue randomly, you define one or more Question Pools. Each Question Pool translates into an extra to include SWF.

I hope that answers the question for you better.

See you soon... Rick
