Articulate Presenter Keeps Crashing When I try to Preview or Publish

Oct 20, 2017

I just installed Articulate Presenter on my computer. I'm working with files on my local hard drive. Articulate keeps crashing every time I try to preview or publish. I've scoured these discussion boards and cannot find a solution. How do you fix this?

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to the community! Sorry to hear you're having trouble previewing and publishing. 

Since you're already working locally, my hunch is there could be a corrupted slide in your presentation. Are you able to preview a single slide at a time?

If you'd like us to have a closer look, our team is here to help. Simply create an Articulate Package, then send it to us directly by clicking here. We'll test it and let you know what we find!

Hey Kevin!

Thanks for sending in your file. Looks like my colleague Vira was able to pinpoint the slide causing trouble, and rebuilding that slide resolved the problem.

If you continue to run into any issues, reply right back to her and we'll continue working with you! Otherwise- good luck with the rest of your project 😄

I am continually having Articulate crash.  When I publish the course and then click to create the Zip file, it crashes.  If I copy and paste from a word document to Articulate it will crash sometimes.  It was so bad that I replaced my PC and thought that had resolved it but it is crashing again.  Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

Here is the version I am using.

I am having problems publishing from Presenter. It crashes every time I try to publish (after taking forever). I spent all of yesterday trying to remedy with no luck. I have a very large presentation (107 slides) along with 4 Engage interactions. How do I figure out if a particular slide is corrupted? I have already submitted a case with the file, but have not heard back and am in a time crunch. Please help!

Hi Sue,

I'm sorry you've run into such difficulty. I saw your case, and I made a note for our team but in the meantime can you look at the following: 

If you've done those steps, let me know and I'll give our team a heads up about that as well.

I am having the same problem and very concerned about losing the work i've done thus far. I wasnt able to upload the articulate package because it says it's too big. 

I have a dropbox link where I have moved it if someone from Articulate could review it? I could share by email. Thank you
