  1. Certificate download file size and missing "save as" option

    The "Download" button saves a file with fixed name "captivate-certificate-[n].pdf" with an index n.
    1. ICan the user please be prompted with a system dialog to save with a file name and to a location of his/her choice?
    2. The PDF contains a rasterized image of poor quality (see text sample attached) but astonishing size (~5 MB). Can the file please be configured to be as small as possible, with a printable text quality as fitting for a respectable certificate?

  2. Responsive behavior for Background Image

    Allow a 'focal point' for images when they change sizes in Captivate projects

    Sharepoint pages do allow you to set the 'focus' of an image for when the portal changes size, it lets the author have some control over how the item is shown to users without having a ton of options to configure each time.

  3. But - Applying colors/fonts globally for all objects in project properties

    I have built some slides including all possible objects and widgets using the previously set up colours in "project properties" -> "edit theme". Then I changed the global colours and expected all buttons, objects, texts etc. to change colours automatically after clicking apply.

    It would be a huge time saver if this could work. Somehow it works, but I have to click the used object preset in the presets area again to apply.

    Please make it work automatically. Saving the theme and changing all items in the theme is not an option. It would take a lot of work when…

  4. Link javascript file to project

    Include an option to link an external javascript file to a Captivate project. In Cp 12 in particular such a link would be good in the "Project properties" under PUBLISH SETTINGS. An external js file would allow a sophisticated use of moderrn JS within a project. It would also go along well with the concept of ADD JAVASCRIPT CODE TO THE PUBLISHED HTML AT RUNTIME, formulated on https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/captivate/help/javascript-interface-adobe-captivate.html.

  6. isabel.yeo@enlighten-opex.com

    The feedback responses in a knowledge/check quiz default to grey text on a coloured background and I have to manually edit the text colour for each state for each question slide.
    Even worse it's really hard to get to viewing those states I spend ages clicking around and get there by accident.
    Please default it to white text on coloured background, and have a clear button or something that shows how to get there and edit.

  7. Save assets I use repeatedly

    Have the ability "favorite" captivate assets and sort 'favorites' for faster and easier access. It's very time consuming to scroll through 800+ images in Captivate assets to find the same image I use on repeat.

  8. Roundtripping with Creative Cloud

    Enable the roundtripping for the Creative Cloud programs that exist in Adobe Captivate Classic in the new Captivate version. Part of the appeal of Captivate Classic is the ease of use with the creative cloud. It would be great if new version had this feature too.

    Having the ability to move highlight boxes and text boxes with keyboard arrows allows for more precise placement.

  10. Allow for audio to be played at 2x and 4x speed in HTML5 player

    In the HTML5 slide video player, the 2x and 4x button in the playbar at the bottom of the screen only speed up the slide by 2 and 4 times respectively and mute the audio. It would be a useful feature if the audio can also be sped up 2x and 4x when this button is pressed so users have the ability to both listen and watch the material at a faster speed.

  13. Make it possible to change the state of cursor on hover over a hotspot

    If you want to have an invisible hotspot but still reveal it on a hover the only option is to change the initial state of the hotspot to invisible but make the hover state visible.

    You should be able to change the state of the cursor instead. For example, change it from a white arrow to a grey or black one, or from a white arrow to a finger pointer.

  15. Ability to Print an Outline

    It would be useful to have a print function like Adobe Classic in order to print the presentation like a handout. Not at least having that function or the collaboration feature in this first rollout is a huge oversight.

  16. Allow multiple textboxes within groups

    Often designers want bullet points or small blocks of text to appear as they are spoken in the narration, so you might want 5-10 short pieces of text appearing at different points on a slide. It's extremely common. I don't see a way to do that on a single slide since you're limited to one text element. THe only way would be for them to be stacked and have virtually 10 slides worth of material for the user to scroll down through as the narration progresses, requiring extremely active scrolling along with the narration - which will NEVER happen. This…

  17. Bug: Video slide and 'go to next slide'

    If a video slide is created, and then an interaction to 'go to next slide' is added, although the testing in edit mode shows it working, when the project is previewed or published it does not work. The slide pauses and does not advance to the next slide as intended.

  18. Bring back object styles.

    Being able to apply universal changes across a large quantity of objects across all slides was one of the big reasons why I prefer Captivate 2019 to Storyline. This saves me so much time and I can use this for future trainings made for the same company.

  19. Preview starting always on slide 1 (v12.3)

    in the new update v12.3 the preview always starts on the first slide and not the current active slide, as before. It would be great, if it starts at the current (active) slide again.

  20. The ability to be able to export as one file is critical

    You can only export to a web format, which is fine, but it means the video output is split into many files. I use Premiere Pro to compile my videos, add a title page, etc, and having hundreds of tiny files is difficult to manage, plus they can get mixed up in import to Pr. Please give us back the option to export to a simple MP4.
