Adobe Captivate and other software applications
Using Adobe Captivate with Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional
Create software simulations and product demonstrations in Adobe Captivate and then add your content to
Acrobat Connect Professional or training courses. This increases the interactivity of Acrobat Connect Profes-
sional.
Presenters can use the Sync button so their actions are viewed by all participants. As the presenter moves their
mouse or interacts with the demonstration or simulation, all meeting participants see the presenter's actions on
their computers. Presenters can also turn off the Sync option so participants can fully interact with the Adobe
Captivate demonstration or simulation on their individual computers. Presenters can turn the Sync feature off and
on as many times as necessary.
You can bring an Adobe Captivate project into an Acrobat Connect Professional meeting using two different
methods:
•
Publish the Adobe Captivate project directly to Adobe Connect Enterprise and then add the project from the
Adobe Connect Content library to an Acrobat Connect Professional meeting. (Adobe recommends using this
option. Adding the Adobe Captivate project from the Content library ensures that all Adobe Captivate features
work properly within Acrobat Connect Professional.)
•
Publish the Adobe Captivate project to create a .zip file stored on your computer and then add the .zip file to
an Acrobat Connect Professional meeting.
Note: The Sync button in Acrobat Connect Professional will not be displayed if the Adobe Captivate project contains
the _skin file.
If you want to include multiple files in an Acrobat Connect Professional, ensure that you do the following:
1 Select Edit > Preferences. The Preferences dialog box appears.
2
In the Category panel, expand Project, and select Settings.
3
Select Publish Adobe Connect Server metadata in the Project panel.
4
Click OK.
5 Select File > Publish. The Publish dialog box appears.
6 Select Flash (SWF).
7
In Output Options, select Zip files.
Upload the Zip file to Acrobat Connect Professional meeting.
