Legacy Articulate project recoverable?
Dec 17, 2021
I'm not 100% where I should post this, so excuse me if this in the wrong forum.
We have been hosting a series of learning modules that were originally produced in Articulate 6. They came to our organization when the people who created the original content disbanded.
I don't have access to ANY of the original assets, but I have all of the LMS players with SWF files.
The content has always been quite popular and I'd love to be able to update it so it will work without Flash.
Is there any path for decompiling or updating old Articulate projects without access to the original project files?
TIA

Hello Robert!
If you need to update content, you'll need the original source file to import into whichever authoring tool you are using.
We didn't have an Articulate 6, but if you can share a screenshot of the course, I'm happy to share which tool was used and what current program will be similar.
Hi Lauren,
I can't provide a screenshot because I can't open the e-learning without Flash.
I checked the HTML header and it says "Articulate Presenter 6.0.1"
I've attached what I have... As I mentioned, it's just the final output. I don't have the original assets because we didn't produce the material in-house. This is a last ditch effort to recover the content so that we can convert to another format (e.g. HTML5)
Hello Robert!
Thanks for the detailed reply! Looking at what you've shared, the files you have aren't compatible with Presenter. Unfortunately, you would need the original ppt file in order to make changes.
Thanks for the additional information, Robert. Without the source files, you cannot open the files in Articulate Software.
I look forward to hearing how others in the community worked with similar circumstances and recommendations or best practices they may have.
