The being "quick" is associated with the default length of the certificate widget on the timeline, which is 3 seconds. I did two things as workarounds. 1) I added a bookmark with the action of Pause Timeline. 2) I extended the length of the slide to 5 minutes. This seems to be a reasonable workaround. The first step seems to do the trick nicely, but the second step provides some additional insurance.

Mayank,
Thanks for your note. Just choosing three of the five available Design Options for question slides (I did not take the time to test them all), all three have visual elements which fail the WCAG standards for contrast and readability. Please see the attached PDF which has screen shots from Captivate 13.0 showing the Design Option chosen, the visual elements in question, and the resulting WCAG Fail reports. Either the text is unreadable due to low contrast, the checkmarks are hardly visible due to low contrast, or both.
If we had the ability to make changes to the Design Options with the Captivate UI, instead of manipulating JSON and CSS files, such that we could "Save as...." a new Design Option, we could correct this ourselves.

A phase two approach might be to have an application preference: "Show information dialog on function completion." If that preference is set, that any background function whose affect may not be readily apparent would display an informative completion dialog.

Mayank,
The completed project is available online at the following location. I also noticed that the fonts don't seem to match what I saw in Captivate during development, so I am not sure what is going on there.

Mayank,
I had to perform a system reset to reinstall Windows 11 on my computer to address so other anomalies. When I reinstalled Captivate I tried the PDF download feature again, and it worked perfectly. I also tried running the project from a different computer, but it is truncating from that computer. I am attaching the project with this post.
The project is 1.8 gigabytes in size, so it is too big to post here. Here is a link to the .CPT project file:

Telling the users that they need to capture a screenshot to save their certificate is not ideal.

Mayank,
This behavior is something I see with every project. It is easy enough to work around by always saving to a different name, rather than overwriting.
Yes, my projects are saved in Dropbox. I just tried publishing to a local drive, and I got a "Replace?" warning dialog. I had to click the Replace button a couple of times, but it did go ahead and overwrite the files as expected. So this appears to be related to Dropbox or the use of a personal cloud storage service. Thank you!

The work around is to name your output folder something different and do not attempt to publish over a folder of the same name.

Need a maximum time limit and corresponding author-settable message for the quiz. This should be a setting in Preferences > Quizzing > General. It would be great if you could also set a warning time limit and message to warn the learner that time is almost up. For example:
Maximum Quiz Time Limit: 120 minutes
Message: Maximum quiz time has been reached. The quiz is ended.Quiz Warning Time: 110 minutes
Message: You have 10 minutes remaining to complete the quiz.Jeff McKune

I will add one other comment, in case it helps someone else. If you don't want the default certificate filename to be "captivate-certificate.pdf" try these steps:
1.) Publish your project.
2.) Edit the main.chunk.js file in the dist folder, and change the two occurences of "captivate-certificate.pdf" to "whatever-you-want.pdf".
3.) Save your edits to main.chunk.js.
Also, if you want to change the name of the project as it appears on a browser tab at runtime, you can follow these steps:
1.) Publish your project.
2.) Edit the project.js file found in assets > js.
3.) Search for the line that starts with pN:'
4.) Change the name within single quotes to what you want to appear on the tab.
5.) Save the project.js file.
