Cannot embed 3D PDF into powerpoint 2007

Hello:
I can't embed 3D model from .pdf file into powerpoint 2007.
Followed all instructions, the 3D model is captured from VMD program using acrobat 3d 8.0,
it is saved automatically as .pdf file,
it is able to open and rotate in the acrobat reader,
then in powerpoint 2007, when i want to embed it,
i click the embed 3D button, the add 3d data window appear,
but in the file selection, the .pdf file is not supported.
only those .u3d, .cad, ... are supported, and i tried these, they can be embeded.
but i am confused, how can i really embed the .pdf file to powerpoint?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for both of your help.
I am still not quite understand how the OCX means.
Does it mean the "embed 3D" button appeared in powerpoint or some other kind of software?
Currently what I did is export the 3d model in the .pdf to a .u3d file.
then I can choose the .u3d file and embed it since this format is supported. And I can rotate it in powerpoint. But the only problem is it's now in perspective view and I cannot change it to orthographic view inside the powerpoint.
Even in the .pdf I set the default view to orthographic, the exported and embeded is still perspective.
So is there any way to export it as orthographic model?

I have just subscribed to Adobe Export and my debit card has been charged but I cannot convert a pdf into a word format on my mac. Does it take time to process? I have purchased the package about thirty minutes ago?

Hi nickel13,
What is the problem you are facing?
Is this happening with a single PDF file?

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.

Embedding SWF into Powerpoint 2007....

I use this method to place a SWF in Powerpoint 2007. (see below).
My question is... how do I make the path relative and not absolute? So whatever path/destination I put in the "Movie" property is absolute and if and when I sent this PPTX file to someone (like in a folder) the SWF no longer plays. I wanted to make a path that is relative... so instead of putting "C:\Use\Profile\Desktop\Flash.swf" I wanted to know if I could do something like "Flash.swf" and then it'll play the SWF since it'd be in the root (or maybe a subfolder).
Place SWF in Powerpoint 2007:
1. Click Office Button.
2. Click “Powerpoint Options”
3. Under the “Popluar” tab check “Show Developer tab in the Ribbon”. Click OK
4. Click the “Developer” tab.
5. Click the “More Controls” button (wrench/hammer icon)
6. Choose “Shockwave Flash Object”. Click OK.
7. Cursor turns to crosshairs. Drag box to house the object.
8. In the “Properties” pop-up, find “Movie”.
9. Under “Movie”. Paste in the path of the file. (i.e. C:\Users\Profile\Desktop\flashAnimation.swf
a. Try to put the SWF in the same root location as the PPTX.

You can insert a .swf file into PowerPoint using the method you described with both an absolute and a relative path. But that will just insert it and play it as a linked file.
What you seem to want to do is to embed the file. That's tricker. The .pptx file extension apparently has a known and unfixed bug that won't let you embed a .swf. There's nothing out there, that I could find that may be of help. But you could try these two steps:
In the properties panel for the insered swf, find the EmbedMovie property and set it to "True".
Then Save As... your Presentation to the older file format (.ppt not .pptx). This may show up in the Save menu as "PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation".
This may work, you should take note that the file size should increase significantly. If the Presentation's file size doesn't increase, then you know it hasn't been embedded and the animation will not play if you email the file (because it's not included).

How do I change a PDF into powerpoint?

I paid for and downloaded the ACROBAT 11, NOTHING HAPPENS, i STILLCAN'T switch a PDf into a powerpoint. The computer keeps askingme to purchase and download the same thing that I alreadypurchased.

Hey miltonb98987380,
I have checked with your account and it says that you have purchased subscription for Adobe ExportPDF online service.
For converting PDF to PowerPoint:
Firstly you need to sign in at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID and password.
'Select files to export' button (shown below) and choose the PDF file from your computer or simply drag it there.
Once you uploaded your file, you will get an option to choose 'MS PowerPoint document' under 'Convert to..' label.
Then, select 'Export to PowerPoint' button and the conversion be completed in a couple of minutes.
Then, you can download the converted file on your computer and even make the desired changes.
Also, you can choose 'Files' tab where you can locate all your converted files.
Hope this information will help you.
Let me know if you still face any problem.
Regards,

PDF and PowerPoint 2007, strange slides and handouts

I'm getting strange output when I create a presentation in PowerPoint and print to Acrobat. The problems happen whether I print Slides or Handouts.
-- On some slides, the slide title is partially or completely missing.
-- In grayscale mode, some graphics show up in color.
-- Solid-color shapes (boxes) show up cross-hatched.
-- For handouts only, some slides have headers and footers, and others do not.
I'm using PowerPoint 2007, up to date, and Acrobat Professional 9.1.3.
I've used PowerPoint and Acrobat for many years and only recently began to have these problems. I've tried changing some of the endless printing options in Acrobat, but nothing I've found so far has made a difference.
Those problems (with the possible exception of the color graphics in grayscale mode, I don't remember) do not happen when I print to Microsoft's XPS format.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Thank you! That's helping a lot. I don't see how to get grayscale in that route, but at least I'm getting proper color handouts, no errors. Plus it outputs much faster. Hmmm. I haven't tried saving in PPT format instead of PPTX. And then there's an Excel spreadsheet that takes several minutes to output 14 pages via print to Adobe PDF printer (it used to be much faster, I don't know why it suddenly slowed down, I didn't change the spreadsheet), I wonder if that would be faster if I saved in PDF format rather than printing to the Adobe PDF printer.
Again, thank you. You have helped, plus you gave me leads to follow.
ATB,
Mark

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

How to embed 3d pdf into 2d pdf?

I created a 3d pdf (outside of Acrobat) and would like to embed this file into a 2d pdf using Acrobat X. When I add Multimedia > 3D object and try to insert the 3d pdf file, Acrobat says that the file is not a supported file type. Is there a way to embed this directly (so the model can be seen when the 2d pdf is opened), rather than as an attached file or link? I would like to avoid using an U3D file, as the file became very large and responds slowly to commands.

All you need is Acrobat.
If you want to copy the entire page from the 3D PDF to the 2D PDF, open the page thumbnails sidebar in the 2D PDF, and from the options dropdown menu choose Insert Pages > From File. Pick your 3D PDF and choose where you want the page to be inserted. You can also open both files in separate windows, and drag the page thumbnails from one to the other (not the pages, the thumbnails).
If you want to copy just the 3D annotation, open both files in separate windows, and open the Tools Pane > Content Panel in both so you can activate the "select object" tool - the big black arrow. Click the 3D annotation to select it, then choose edit>Copy (Ctrl-C), then in the destination PDF file choose Edit>Paste (Ctrl-V). You can move and resize the annotation while you have the select object tool enabled, and any embedded 3D scripts, views, poster images etc will be preserved.
The only thing you may find is if the source and destination pages are in different orientations, copy/paste may rotate the poster image. To fix that, right-click the pasted annotation and choose Properties, then re-create the poster image.

Graphic graining after converting to pdf from Powerpoint 2007

I have a user, using Windows XP, Office 2007, Acrobat 8.1 Standard & Distiller 8. When she is in Powerpoint working on a slide her graphic looks fine. Once she hits Acrobat on her toolbar, then Create a PDF, it converts over to a pdf and her graphic looks grainy. Like some of the color is gone-not completely filled in like it was before in the lettering. Can someone please help with this, I've been researching for a while now and can't find a solution.

Sorry, all out of ideas. She may just have to live with it. The only think I can think of is a compatibility between the resolutions selected in the WORD doc and the storage to PDF. Generally PDFs do not change the resolution of a graphic unless you ask for the compression (that is part of the graphics management in the settings file with Std have a lot of compression). It may be that properly adjusting the resolution of the graphic in the PPT doc would change the issue. A lot of folks have a habit of just copying a graphic into PPT without changing the resolution to an appropriate dpi. You might try saving any graphics to a different format and insert in PPT again. Also, be aware that OFFICE 2007 does some conversions to imported images that may also be an issue (at least with DOCX and related files, not the DOC versions). I am not sure that might be an affect. You might going to a PPT 2003 compatible format and try the graphics again - I have gotten some differences (I have no clue why).
The only other thing that you might do would be to post the copies somewhere, both of a sample PPT or PPTX and a sample PDF. You may have to post a new topic since this one is so far back in the queue. I was just drifting back over old posts and noted your item. Bill

Cannot Generate a PDF from Word 2007

I have inherited a 100-page file in Word 2007, and have just encountered a problem when generating a PDF. (BTW, I have Adobe Reader installed, and I have not yet receieved Acrobat for generating a PDF.) To reduce file size and to send the file to others in remote locations, I have been saving the Word 2007 file as a PDF, and it has been working up until today. When the file generated a PDF, it stopped on page 33 and asked if I wanted to send an error report. I have not changed anything on that page. There is a figure and a table on that page, in addition to some text. What could be causing the file to stop generating a PDF? I removed the table and figure, but still the file stops generating on the following page. I also have checked to make sure I do not have any styles that seem out of place. Could you provide me with some guidance on what kinds of things I should try and troubleshoot? Thanks!

If you only have Reader, you can not create a PDF. You would need Acrobat.
If you are "saving" as a PDF from Word, you are using the Microsoft PDF utility rather than Adobe's. You'll want to ask Microsoft support.

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.

What is the easiest way to embed a pdf into email (pdf made in Illustrator CS)

I created the file in Illustrator CS - I have Acrobat 6.0.2 Professional and Distiller 6.0.2 as well as Photoshop CS, Image ReadyCS, In Design CS to use. I don't have Dreamweaver, etc. and am not html profiecient... hopefullly will be sooner than later.

This is not an eLearning question. It in fact is not a question related to any Adobe specific product. It is a question related to the program you use for email. For my current email program you can do attachments and that is it, no formatting, not graphics. If you had Dreamweaver and you could encode your file the way you want, you would still need a program that allows for html email. Your best bet is to ask in a forum dedicated to the program you use for email. If that is not possible, perhaps reposting in the pdf workflow forum might be appropriate.
