Publishing Projects

After you create a project, you publish your project so others can view it. Adobe Captivate 
contains many publishing options and you can publish the project in as many different formats as 
you require.

•

Publishing projects as EXE files

•

Publishing projects to an Adobe® Connect™ Enterprise

•

Publishing projects as Flash (SWF) files

•

Publishing projects in print format (Microsoft Word file). This method includes handouts, 
lesson, step-by-step, and storyboard formats.

•

Publishing projects to the web using FTP

•

Sending projects using e-mail

Note: Asian language characters are not supported in output filenames (for example, avoid using 
Asian characters in a SWF filename.)

Publishing projects as stand-alone (EXE) files

You can create stand-alone, executable files of your Adobe Captivate projects. This publishing 
option enables you to create a Windows executable file (EXE), a Linux® Projector file, and a 
Macintosh Projector file (HQX).

To publish a project as an EXE file: 

1.

Open an Adobe Captivate project.

2.

From the File menu, select Publish.

3.

In the Publish dialog box, select Standalone.

4.

In Project Title, enter the desired name without the file extension (EXE).

5.

In Folder, enter the full path for the folder in which to save the file or click Browse to locate the 
folder.

6.

In File type, select the type of EXE file to create: Windows executable, Macintosh executable 
file, or Linux executable file.
