Can you embed a PDF into a Captivate 8 project?

Hi,
Can you embed a PDF document into a captivate project?
I know i shouldnt compare, but in Articulate Story Line, you are able to add 'resourses' into the project which sit alongside the eLearning to provide further reading.
Can you do this in Captivate? but without it linking to an external sourse such as local or shared drive?
Thanks
Chris

To tmpe222,
I'm not a Cp expert, but it seems to me that there's no sense in simply trying to stick a pdf document in the Scorm package. What good would that do? The file would be in the package, but that doesn't mean it would be 'embedded in the project' in any meaningful sense of the term.
I don't know of any way to embed a pdf document directly into a Cp project. But couldn't you simply convert the pdf file into an image (jpeg or gif)? This you could easily insert in your project. It would be inserted as a standard object. And then you could do all the nice things that you can do with any object: put it on slide to be accessed only if the participant wants to view it; use effects so that it enters nicely; add annotation . . . the sky's the limit.
Does this help at all, or am I on the wrong track?
Best regards,
Marvin DuBois

Can you embed HTML code into a Captivate project?

Hi there.
Is it possible to embed HTML code into a project? I can't find any options to do it. I'm using Captivate 7.
Thanks.

Yes I am talking about the play button when the course launches. If you modify the index.html to look like this, the course will automatically play instead of showing the play button.
function initializeCP()
                function cpInit()
                                document.body.innerHTML = "
                                cp.DoCPInit();
                if((typeof InitAppPackager !== "undefined") && (typeof InitAppPackager === "function"))
                                InitAppPackager(cpInit);
                else
                                cpInit();
                                cp.movie.play();
The part in read is the command that I add to the index to make it autoplay.

CP8 - How to embed a pdf into a captivate slide (for LMS publication)?

Hi,
How to embed a pdf into a captivate slide (for LMS publication)?
WebObject doesn't work...
Thanks

I accomplished this by publishing my PDF to a directory I called "PDFWebObjectEmbedFiles" on my webserver outside of where my published project lives.
For example...the PDF to embed lived at:
http://mydomain.com/PDFWebObjectEmbedFiles/file_name_of_PDF_to_embed.pdf
Then I went inside of Captivate and inserted the Web Object widget. I put the URL to my PDF inside the widget. Then it loads perfectly with no problem.
Hope this helps.

How do you embed a pdf into a pdf?

I have a word document, that has files embedded in it. There are excel, word, ppt and pdf files embedded in it. I want to convert the word document to a pdf but want the pdf to contain the embedded docs within it.

PDF files do not support the idea that another document can be embedded within a region of a page - any files embedded into the Word document using the Insert>Object command will appear in the PDF as bitmap images, effectively a screenshot of what you can see in Word. You can attach the files to the PDF once it's created but they will only appear on the attachments side panel.

Can you embed a jar into a webpage?

Hi, I worked out how to embed my .class file into a webpage with <applet>.
Im using netbeans which also creates a jar which includes my audio files in the archive.
Could I just upload the jar file and embed that into a webpage?

slenkar wrote:
say if i just wanted to upload the jar to the server and nothing else, could it be embedded as an applet?Yes you can. You only need to mention the jar in your HTML. Don't ask me for specifics, it's been ages since I wrote an Applet.

Can you embed video/audio in a captivate file?

i was wondering if it's possible to somehow embed video/audio files in a captivate slideshow so that no sidecar files are required?
or will i always need to keep seperate linked mp3 and flv files along side the captivate file?
thanks!

okay thanks shekhar for you reply : ) i don't have much experience with captivate, only flash.
i think i've figured out that when inserting an audio file (e.g. .wav) the file is actually embedded in the cptx file, meaning you don't need the .wav file as a seperate file (like for example the way linked files in indesign work).
however, for video files, i still don't know if it works the same way. are the files embedded? or linked?
let me put it this way: if i have a captivate file that has video and audio in it and i want to move the project to a different computer - do i need to take only the cptx file? or do i need to also move some media files as well?
thanks

How can I embed a PDF in my Captivate 5.5 project that will open in a new window when the user click

I put a glossary button in my project. When the user clicks on the button, I want the file to open in a new browser window. This works in preview mode, but not when I publish it. What am I doing wrong?

I've tried the download three times. It reports that installation was successful, but when I use Firefox I still get only an option to download the .pdf; I still can't read it within the browser. This fix WAS for Firefox 5.0, right?

Can you embed icloud videos into a blog?

I want to upload video to share via a blog. I know it can be done with youtube, but does anyone know if videos on i-cloud can be embedded in a similar way (e.g. with a URL?)

Considering iCloud is password protected, probably not. I'd stick with youtube or vimeo or some other sort of sharing program. If for no other reason than to protect your iCloud from unintended access.

Can you embed HTML snippets into Reflow?

Is this possible to do...ie a youtube video or even some other embeddable element?

Currently, Reflow only supports boxes (divs), text and images. We're planning on adding more elements in the near future, although HTML snippets aren't going to be there for a while.

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

The problem is defining what it even means to “embed” a PDF file in the body of an e-mail, especially if you are dealing with a multiple page PDF file.
E-mail is either pure text, rich text (something akin to RTF in Word), or HTML. PDF is not compatible with any of these. Thus, to embed a PDF file, something has to be converted and that means the PDF would be converted to a less graphically rich raster format. But is that what you would really want?
I think that the MacOS and iOS e-mail clients do under some circumstances place an attached PDF file within HTML segments and by clicking on same, you get the equivalent of extracting the full PDF file, but I have no real experience with that.
Another alternative is HTML with a proxy image with a hyperlink to an external PDF file that is invoked when you click on the hyperlink.
Perhaps you can explain what you are really trying to accomplish and what the recipient of such an e-mail's actual experience would be?

How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

That sounds great, but I'm lost.
I followed these steps:
1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
2) Chose print
The print/printer options pop-up will show.
3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
Am I missing anything?

Can you edit a pdf document without exporting it into a word document?

Can you edit a pdf document without exporting it into a word document?

Hi sylvias99766822,
You can if you have Acrobat. If you don't, feel free to give it a try. You can download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Keep in mind, though, that Acrobat isn't intended to be a word processor. So, while you can make adjustments to text and graphics, if you need to do a major overhaul of the text in the document, it's best to go back to the source document and edit the content there.
Best,
Sara

I don't think that Adobe offers any software to convert .azw4 files. Search Google for alternate converters.
