@Rebecca,

Interesting.. I just tried the widget with a TOC and it is printed just fine. The TOC is printed as well though, but the whole screen fits on the print-out. What are the dimensions of your Captivate project?

This widget fixed a big problem I had in that the certificate widget that came with Captivate 5 refused to print on any PC but my own. However, I’m using a Table of Contents, and the scaling does not accomodate this. The certificate falls off the page. It works great in your demo because there is no TOC. What are the chance of a widget that will print ONLY the certificate slide and NOT the TOC?

@Rita. Since you posted your problem here on the post regarding the AS2 version of the widget I just need to be sure. Are you using the AS2 version of the Widget in a Captivate 5 project? If yes, then that is probably why it doesn’t work.

If you indeed are using the AS3 version of the widget could you then please try adding the Stock Captivate 5 Certificate Widget to your project and click print on that one. Let me know if that one shows your network printers or if they are also missing here.

Working in captivate 5 and not able to get print widget to print. Doesn’t show network printers. Is there some particular properties setting? Could you post a print screen of the widget properties panel for a comparison?

Thanks!

@Bob – It’s a bug in Captivate 4 that makes Widgets fade in / fade out even though “No transition” is selected. The solution is to set the transition to “Fade in / Fade out” but set both parameters to 0.0 seconds. That will take care of your problem.

How can I keep the print icon from fading out at the end of the slide in Captivate? Even when I set it to No Transition, it fades out. The slide is also set to No Transition.

@ Anthony – there is no patch to make the component work for Captivate 5 unfortunately. It’s a brand new widget since it is in AS3 and printing in Captivate 5 is different from in Captivate 4.

Hi,

I just bought your widget and it’s works fine on captivate 4.
My compagny bought Captivate 5 recently because we don’t have a valid licence of captivate 4. (we used a trial version)

Have you got a patch for captivate 5 ? Will i buy the new widget ( I bought less 1 month)

Thanks for your answer

Anthony

@James – The AS3 version of the widget is ready and tested so I expect to put it on the site this weekend.
