Can you embed a quiz in a PDF?

Hi,
I am new to Captivate and am teaching myself Captivate 5 using Lynda.com. I have just cerated a quaiz and exported to PDF. Is it possible to embed such a quiz in an existing PDF instead of the whole quiz being a PDF? I.e. Working through an interactive PDF, you get to a certain point and then there is the quiz.

Either Acrobat X or Acrobat 9 Pro extended would be OK to use.
All you basically need is the ability to add PDF documents or pages to existing PDF documents.

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,

How can you insert "Page Break" in a pdf file so you will specify the pages

How can you insert "Page Break" in a pdf file so you will specify the pages

How / from what was the PDF originally created? It would be easiest to insert page breaks into the original document, then recreate the PDF.

Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

Hello saradianapasik,
If you start with a document created with Acrobat Pro, or exported from your word processor as a .pdf, then you should include page numbers in that originating application. After you have exported a .pdf form from FormsCentral, it is no longer editable.
I hope that helps,
Brian

Sure, but as the saying goes, you need an app for that.

Can you embed survey questions in discontinuous places on a Web site?

Can you embed survey questions in discontinuous places on a Web site? By analogy, think of an online magazine that would have survey questions at the end of each article. The reader would never go through the survey from start to finish, but rather read an article, then answer questions about subjects covered in the article, then read the next article, answer or skip questions, and so on. In this scenario, if there are 30 survey questions, I would not want 30 separate surveys, but rather an means of rolling up all the answers from a single respondent who logs into the Web site. Can Acrobat forms help in this context, or do you know of other software/services that I should consider?

You could look into a service such as http://www.formsite.com/. I believe it can do what you want. The support there is excellent so if you can't find the answer looking around, just contact them.

How can I embed XML data in a PDF?

I want to embed XML data in a PDF so the file can be scanned for the data behind the document. Is there a standard way to do this?
For example, if the PDF is a bank statement, the embedded XML would be the individual's account number and bank balances. It would not include any of the standard text in the statement such as the bank name, etc.
I've read up on the XMP spec but that seems to be more metadata about the document (title, subject, etc.). And there is tagged content but that is an alternate view of the entire document.
??? - thanks - dave

Although the XMP block is stored in XML, you can't just embed any XML file. The block has to follow the standard, which means that each data packet needs to be defined in a schema - as the name suggests, XMP is eXtendable so you can define new schema for local use, but you can't mess about with the standard ones and randomly add new tags. The schema itself isn't embedded in the file, it's referenced by a unique ID and URI. of course having a data packet in a custom schema doesn't mean any software will see it - Acrobat's Advanced Search can be told to scan the XMP block but search engines only tend to bother with the basic tags such as 'title' and 'description'.
To see what's currently in a PDF, open Document Properties > Description > Additional Metadata > Advanced.
You can save the current XMP block as a text file (.xmp extension), and replace/append other XMP files. If you click the "i" icon on the top right of the Advanced dialog you can access system profiles - these can be created in other applications such as Bridge, but there's no profile manager in Acrobat itself.
For technical information on working with XMP and creating new schema, see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp.html
Note that the XMP SDK for CS6 does not work in the Acrobat Family.

How can you change individual words in a PDF using javascript?

Hi,
I am trying to do some simple text replacement in a PDF file using Acrobat. Specifically, I want to do some simple transliteration of words or partial transliteration. For instance, I would like to change a word like "red" to "ρed". This is to help me get used to the Greek alphabet step by step.
Anyway, I downloaded Acrobat and there is no feature to do a single letter search and replace -- only word replacement. I have a Computer Science degree and decided to investigate the javascript capabilities to see if I can make those a simple letter replacement script. However, I have gotten to the point where I can cycle through every word in the PDF (using functions like getPageNthWord), and I can make a replacement on the string returned using something like: val.replace(/r/, "ρ"). However, I don't know how to replace the word in the PDF file....such as with a hypothetical function setPageNthWord (which does not exit). I have found the online documentation very thin on this, and I am scratching my head. Perhaps, it is something to do with the PDF format that I do not understand. So, is there a way to simply change text of a PDF file, like I am asking? All I am looking for is simple script to change a letter to another across a PDF.
thanks if you can help
Justin

JS can't edit the text in a PDF file directly. There are workarounds, like
using a redaction with overlay text or simply placing a new field or
annotation on top of the old text with the new one, but they are all far
from perfect and won't cause a "reflow" of the document, so if the two
texts are not of the same length the result will look odd. Also there's the
issue of which font to use (font family, color, size, etc.), which JS can't
know so you'll have to tell it.

Can you save print settings with a PDF?

I have an 8.5"x14" PDF. Is there anyway to save default print settings with this PDF so if a user opens it on their machine it defaults to printing to 8.5"x14" paper? Right now it always defaults to the standard 8.5"x11". I'm not sure this can be done because it seems like more of a specific users machine thing. I don't think you can save print settings with a PDF can you?
Thanks!

The "auto-formatting" of a hardcopy print format is generally the realm of the output device, in this case the printer. Printer software gereally includes an auto-format feature that selects the proper bin. For those who only have a "letter" tray, it usually asks to feed the right format manually, or switch trays. This is not a PDF feature but an output device feature.
Hope this helps.

Can you change the format when converting pdf to excel?

example. I'm trying to export a PDF file to excel. However, the PDF file isn't in a table/spreadsheet format so when it exports to excel, I can't sort at all. It doesn't convert into any sortable columns. Is there a way to change the format on the convert? Or is that an edit in excel?

Hi, jsking.
I'm sorry for the issues you're having. Without seeing your file, it will be difficult to diagnosis your issue. Can you send us a copy of your PDF file via this form and we can take a look? In the form, include a link to this forum conversation, so we have this additional context.
You may be able to do some post-editing in Excel to copy the data into sortable columns. OR, you may want to try first exporting the PDF to Word and then copying/pasting the data from Word into Excel - it's possible that may give you a better result.
But with a little more information, we may be able to help you more.

Can you do a vlookup in a pdf file coming from an Excel file?

The Excel file has the data that needs to populate a pdf file which is Adobe Write. It has fields you can write in but can you do a VLookup to pull in data from an Excel file? Thank you

Also turn UAC to the lowest setting changes nothing.
Alas, you have found that UAC cannot be disabled from the user interface in Windows 8 any longer. It can just be turned down to the "run my software as a lowly user, but escalate without prompting" level.
It is possible, as a "To Work" option, to truly disable UAC but you have to do it the old way that was necessary with Vista before they caved and provided the UI to do it. But bear this in mind: If you DO disable UAC (and I mean really
disable it), you lose the ability to run Metro applications. That's right, they just won't run.
Personally I find that a bonus.

Can you embed an Animate Deployment Package without Creative Cloud CS6?

I've got Dreamweaver CS6, but it's the downloaded version, not the version that is available through the Adobe Creative Cloud.
So it does not have the option to Insert > Media > Edge Animate Composition.
I'd really like to embed my Edge Animate project as a single file, rather than a bunch of directories. And I'm hoping this is still possible.
Can anyone embed an example project file, then post the code that Dreamweaver writes?
Thanks!

Same here. Macbook Retina 15", purchased earlier this year.
Nice (and free) utility to monitor GPU-usage is:
gfxCardStatus from http://gfx.io/
Helped me to notice that it's better to quit Photoshop if not using it because it still uses the nVidia GPU if Photoshop is not even the active application (eg. running in the background).
But still, sometimes after closing Photoshop, gfxCardStatus says that nVidia GPU is in use for process 'Creative Cloud'.
I'm mostly running on battery and nVidia GPU consumes much, much more battery than the integrated, Intel HD Graphics 4000 so this is a big issue for me.

Can you add extra margins to a PDF?

Hi,
I am curently in the process of printing my PhD thesis, which includes a range of published manuscripts in PDF format. To bind the thesis, each page needs a 2.5cm left margin. I was wondering if there is a way to add a 2.5cm margin to each page of my PDF documents? I also tried exporting them to a tifff file then copying and pasting to word and changing to the correct margins there, however I lose a lot of resolution doing that which affects the quality of the images. So I'd prefer to print the PDF directly with the altered margins if possble.
Any help is greatly apreciated.
Thanks!

You can by setting a custom page size. You'd do this by opening the Crop dialog and setting a custom page size in the Change Page Size area. Deselect the Center cehck box and set the XOffset to 2.5 cm. Set the width to the current width + 2.5 cm and set the height to the current height.

Can you edit the text of a PDF that is placed in inDesign

I have placed a PDF in inDesign and am curious if I can edit the text of that PDF while in inDesign.

Edit it with Adobe Acrobat Pro, indesign can't. Option for Indesign is:
of course overlay text with new text
There is specialized software for editing PDF files, though the choices are much more limited and often more expensive than creating and editing standard editable document formats. Version 0.46 and later of Inkscape allows PDF editing through an intermediate translation step involving Poppler.
Serif PagePlus can open, edit and save existing PDF documents, as well as publishing of documents created in the package.
Enfocus PitStop Pro, a plugin for Acrobat, allows manual and automatic editing of PDF files, while the free Enfocus Browser makes it possible to edit the low-level structure of a PDF.
In Acrobat you should use the TouchUp Text Tool.
But in the end, PDF-files are not made for editing.

Can you force a link inside a .pdf to open the "linked to" document in a new window?

When I have a link inside my .pdf document - linking to another .pdf document or to a Word document - how can I force the linked-to document to open in a new window?
I have a web site (business internal, so unfortunately I cannot point to it). My HTML menu has links to .pdf documents - no problem. However, once I open those .pdfs, they contain links to other .pdfs and to Word documents. Clicking on these links, which reside inside my .pdfs, opens the "linked-to" docs in the same page. How can I force them to open in a brand new frame?
All of my .pdfs were originally created in Word, and in the Word versions, the links DO open into new frames. I am not sure why, when I convert them to .pdfs, they lose this feature.
Can anyone help?

Hi Magenta,
Would you mind reposting this question over on the Acrobat boards? You've posted in the AIR forum and you'll have better luck with this over there.
Thanks,
Chris
