All-New Adobe Captivate - Bookmarks as Triggers for Actions

[@samuelsspen]

I'm new at developing, but I had a question regarding PDF/scrolling. Is there a way within Captivate to ensure the end user scrolls to the bottom of a document BEFORE they can proceed? I've tried everything with no luck. Your videos have helped me a TON over the last couple of months.

[@CaptivateTeacher]

I'm not aware of how you might achieve this. Perhaps this could be done with JavaScript but I'm far from a JavaScript expert.

@samuelsspen I have almost always had to resort to the LMS handling that sort of item. You can put a file into some Authoring tools that must be opened to proceed, but nothing to ensure they scroll to end. A lot of LMS have a slide converter or similar that forces users to go through each page before marking that element as complete.

[@CaptivateTeacher]

Thanks for adding that extra information.

Paul this is great, but can we slow down the motion of Angela so it simulates real motion rather than the abrupt jump in character change, perhaps a transition? Possible? Thank you Sam

[@CaptivateTeacher]

You could try using animations, but I have yet to find one I'm satisfied with.

[@CaptivateTeacher]

There is a feature coming some time in 2025 where you can have animated characters similar to what you get with Synthesia. Stay tunes.

Hi Paul. I have a problem when publishing SCORM package into LMS. For some reason, the bookmarks I put on the slides won't work. Please help me .

[@CaptivateTeacher]

I would reach out to Adobe and see if they are aware of any issues like this. You can email them at [e-mail] for tech support.

mine has a super quick refresh screen before changing the image, so is very noticeable, when is changing.. like a Flickr screen, why is that?

If you need help troubleshooting Adobe Captivate, I suggest you contact Adobe directly. Here's the link: bit.ly/AdobeCare

Is this bookmarks feature only for Captivate, not Cap Classic?

[@CaptivateTeacher]

It exists for Classic but only for slides with slide video.

[@merochingon]

When I am testing .. the audio is going back to the beginning, plays the couple of first words...then goes back and repeats for no reason...and the animation keeps playing normally... any idea why???

[@CaptivateTeacher]

I believe you are running into a known bug. This should be fixed in version 12.3 when it comes out. My workaround is to delay the start of the audio by 0.5 seconds.
