Commenting a Captivate project


In the second step of this workflow, we will pretend to be one of the reviewers. We will use the Adobe Captivate Reviewer application to add our comments to the project.

Installing the Adobe Captivate Reviewer application

The Adobe Captivate Reviewer is a free AIR application that is shipped with Captivate. Normally, it should have been installed with the rest of the Captivate 6 package. On the Mac, the Adobe Captivate Reviewer.app file can be found in the /Applications/Adobe folder. On Windows, it is situated in the C:\program files\Adobe folder. For the reviewers that do not have Captivate, the AIR installation package of this application can be downloaded from the Adobe website at http://www.adobe.com/go/cp5_reviewerapp. Also remember that the AIR runtime must be installed on the system in order to install and run an AIR application.
