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 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.

  • 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 to convert editable pdf into non-editable version for printing option only without setting up passwards?

    I am using IOS system with pdf preview functions. I try to convert editable pdf file into read only for others to print without access to edit the file.
    The only way I can do now is to convert to jpeg for each page and convert back to pdf then combine all pages together. It takes a lot of time in this case.
    Can anyone tell me how to do the conversion without setting up passwards for protection?
    Thank you very much!

    First of all, don't use all CAPS as it means shouting.
    Second, your question is completely off-topic for this forum which discusses Microsoft Office Outlook.
    Third, this is a peer-to-peer forum, don't count on anyone calling you. If you want dedicated support from Microsoft, contact Microsoft Support directly.
    Anyway, you can insert the picture in to OneNote and then have OneNote convert it into text. This usually isn't very accurate for scans though.
    A better solution would be to use a application which is dedicated to OCR. There are various out there. I suggest you try their demo versions to find out which works best with your handwriting.

  • How do I convert .pdf into searchable OCR using Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0?

    How do I convert .pdf into searchable OCR using Adobe Acrobat
    Capture 3.0?
    Our division is digitizing it's files, and we've been using
    Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (2). We've 'scanned-in' several hundred
    documents, but they have been saved as .pdf files (which are
    currently not 'searchable', as they are only scanned images).
    We just received the Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0 program, and
    we were told that we would be able to scan-in any new documents and
    save them both as .pdf and OCR documents (Optical Character
    Recognition). Therefore, we were told, we would be able to search
    through the body of the document, using OCR, and not just through
    the document filename, as we had been doing before.
    HOWEVER, we don't know how to use this new OCRing program.
    Also, we don't know how to convert the .pdf documents which we've
    already scanned into OCR recognizable documents.
    Is someone able to assist us here in this forum?
    Merci beaucoup / Shokran jazilan / Thank you very much!

  • How to import epub/pdf into macvericks' ibooks ?

    how to import epub/pdf into macvericks' ibooks ?

    Placing the PDF into an InDesign document shouldn't be a problem, but if it is, please post back. What I think you're asking for is how to edit a PDF with InDesign, which can't be done. You would need the source document, edit that and then export to another PDF (if PDF is the end goal). There are some programs that can edit PDFs or convert PDFs to other formats (Word, InDesign, etc.), and they will work to one extent or another. You should expect to have to rework parts of it should you go that way. Keep in mind that PDF is generally considered a final document that isn't intended to be edited.

  • How do i transfer pdfs into iPhoto on a mac

    how do i transfer pdfs into iPhoto on a mac. the pdfs are in my pictures folder but i need them to be in my iphoto

    If you have pdfs with multi pages that you want to get into iPhoto here's a way to do so enmass:
    Here's how to get any file (pdf) into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
    1 - open the (pdf) file in any application that will open it, in this case Preview.
    2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
    3  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    NOTE:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place them in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of each page of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto.

  • 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?

  • How to embed a pdf in a pdf file like we embed in MS word/PPT

    Please help me
    I receive some jobs in word files (sometimes in PPT) with PDFs embeded and want me to make compatible for viewing on ipad and PC as well.
    I found creating/inserting navigation menus in PDF itself could help me in flowing as the solution using hyperlinks and inserting the destination pages at the end of pdf which resulted in increase in number of pages. Please can you suggest me if there is anything I can do better. (As our client is bothering about number of pages in pdf)
    Hope I presented my problem clearly.
