Adobe Captivate™ 2 Upgrade 38037006 Data Sheet

With Adobe Captivate 2 software, anyone 
can develop interactive, engaging content 
without programming knowledge or 
multimedia skills.
For training professionals, educators, and 
business users, interactive content is much 
more effective than static demonstrations  
or presentations. However, developing and 
updating professional-quality simulations  
is expensive, time-consuming, and difficult. 
With Adobe Captivate 2, you can create 
powerful and engaging simulations,  
software demonstrations, and scenario-based 
training in the Adobe Flash® format—without 
learning Flash. 

Develop software simulations by automatically 
recording on-screen actions. Add eLearning 
interactions, such as feedback fields and 
customizable quizzes. Use the scenario wizard 
to create robust scenario-based soft-skills 
training. Include rich media that truly engages 
the learner. And make changes to projects  
on the fly all using a simple point-and-click 
interface. Create interactive simulations and 
branching scenarios quickly and easily.

Adobe Captivate 2 makes it easy to create 
professional-quality, interactive simulations 
and training scenarios—without having  
to learn Flash or outsource to a professional 
developer. For software simulations, simply 
start by recording an application. Adobe 
Captivate 2 automatically creates a Flash based 
simulation or demonstration, complete with 
text captions, editable mouse movements, and 
highlights. You can include quizzes with 
scoring and branching, text-entry fields with 
multiple correct answer options, click-boxes, 
keyboard shortcuts, and buttons—without 

With Adobe Captivate, you can:
• Develop interactive software

simulations and scenario-based
training with no programming skills

• Create Flash based training content

without learning Flash

• Give subject matter experts

the ability to create their own
eLearning content

• Integrate with existing authoring

tools and learning management
systems (LMS)

Rapidly create engaging learning experiences

any programming or scripting. Or point  
and click to add specific interactions after 
capture is complete. And record audio 
narration, either during or after capture,  
to enhance the learning experience.

Even the most complex branching scenario  
is simple to create with Adobe Captivate 2.  
Launch the scenario wizard and begin with  
a blank template. Add relevant images and 
video to create a scenario and visually map  
out different learner paths. Collapse and 
expand sections, and focus on branching  
for specific scenarios. Automatically branch  
at the end of slides based on the learner’s 
choices in the beginning of the simulation. 
And with the Advanced Interaction dialog, 
you can manage all interactions—such as 
branching, attempts, success and failure 
actions, and scoring and reporting—in a 
global project table, speeding development 
time and simplifying project management.

Keep learners engaged with rich media 
and a high degree of interactivity
With Adobe Captivate 2, you can turn passive 
viewers into active participants with engaging, 
interactive content. Give all your simulations, 
scenarios, and presentations a professional 
look and feel with customizable skins and 
drop-down menus. Insert audio or Flash 
Video (FLV) using a simple, dialog-driven 
process. Add interactivity to static Adobe 
Presenter presentations or Adobe Acrobat® 
Connect™ Professional meetings. Use avatars to 
point out screen areas and include Flash Video 
for characters in scenario simulations. And 
focus the learner’s attention by zooming in or 
graying out a section of the screen—or 
combine both features to intensify the effect.
