Embed PDF in Captivate

I am connecting a PDF to a click box. However, I would like
the PDF to open within the Captivate movie. How can I accomplish
this?

Hi Guys!
The key to the question in the first post seems to be "from
within the Captivate movie ... and with that in mind, Rick is
absolutely correct as usual ... in a nutshell, it can't be done by
Captivate alone, as imports of PDF are not supported. With that in
mind - and as Rick suggested - if you are a Flash guru, by all
means create your own solution in Flash.
But I'm wondering is you have given any thought to
"Flash Paper". "Paper" can convert nearly any document type
to SWF, and the output inserts very nicely into Captivate complete
with its' own toolbars and scrollbars. Flash Paper is one of my
favorite "toys", as you might have guessed.
Although PDFs don't convert directly to SWF with "Paper", if
you have Adobe Acrobat Professional, you can open your PDF with
that, then output it to - for instance - a *.DOC file which in turn
converts to Flash Paper easily from within MS "Word".
HTH ...
here is a link to
the URL for info on Flash Paper

    I'm trying to avoid pop-ups.
    I know there's a widget out there, but it's for Captivate 3.
    I couldn't get it to work.

  • Word 2013 (Windows 7 64-bit) - Embed PDF as Icon Error

    We have a process where we embed PDFs into a table in a Word document as an icon.
    This worked for us in Word 2010, but as soon as we upgraded to Word 2013 we started getting an error message.
    "The program used to create this object is Package.  That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding.  To edit this object, install Package or ensure that any dialog boxes in Package are closed."
    Nothing has changed except uninstalling Office 2010 and installing Office 2013.  Acrobat is still there(fully updated XI pro). Acrobat is not open when the attempt to embed is made.
    I've tried altering every option I could find that might make this process work, but nothing does the trick.  All software is fully updated as far as I can tell.   It feels like Office 2013 is not keen on the idea of working with PDFs.  The
    Acrobat Add-In seems to only promote converting word docs to PDFs, and I found little to no settings referring to PDF embedding or any embedding for that matter.
    Does Word 2013 disallow this feature unless you're using Windows 8 and the Windows Reader app?  
    Any advice would be fantastic.  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Please try to insert some PDF files from  Insert tab --> Object --> Create New --> Adobe Acrobat Document
    In addition, make sure Adobe Reader is the default application to open the PDF files.
    If the issue persists, please try repair or reinstall the latest version of Adobe reader and check this again.

  • Cannot embed pdfs in MS Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.

    Cannot embed pdfs in Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.
    Pdfs with other versions are okay:
    Tested successfully with Adobe Pro 9 (Version 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)), Reader X (Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x)) and XI (Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x))
    Also cannot open embedded pdfs which have been embedded with this version (getting a similar error).
    Importantly I have removed/disabled all security options in Adobe Reader, following numerous internet suggestions from Adobe and elsewhere. This does not fix the problem.
    Currently the work around is to re-save the pdf with something other than Adobe Reader 9 (so the version updates), but we would prefer not to do this for all the old pdfs we have.
    Thank you,
    Louise.

    Could you please email me the document on which you are seeing this issue at [email protected] ?
    Please mention the forum thread link as well in the mail for the reference.

  • Is it possible to create a 'layer' over the top of a PDF in Captivate?

    I am trying to integrate a 3dpdf within captivate 8 for a software training program, for this it is important to retain functionality to the pdf menu, Captivate handles this well : ) HOWEVER on importing the pdf it becomes clear that the pdf 'trumps' other objects such as clickable areas or text, which therefore don't seem to appear when published. I also wish to provide 'blocked' areas by putting transparent objects over the top of the pdf so as to control the learning process, which also doesn't seem possible on initial inspection.
    Does the PDF exist outside the timeline?
    Does anyone know how to layer objects over a pdf object that will remain there when published?
    Many thanks!
    Sam the Giraffe

    How/where do you want to accomplish it?
    Within the document? Using Acrobat? Using another application?
    Using Acrobat within the document would be possible using Acrobat JavaScript. You can access the annotation objects of your document, and you then can evaluate the properties of each of these objects. Have a closer look at the Annotation Object section in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.
    You will look for the contents property, and evaluate its content. When you have found something looking like a URL, you can create a link (using the rect property of the annotation), and you have what you want; you might then think to destroy the annotation, as it may overlay the link.
    Hope this can help.

  • [PLEASE HLEP] Mac excel 2011, cannot open embed PDF

    How can open embed PDF in excel?
    Also, I cannot insert PDF file in Mac word and excel (2011 version)
    Please help. thanks.

    It sounds like you want to be able to modify a PDF in Word.
    If that is the case you need a program that will open the PDF and then perform an OCR (Optical Scan Recognition) on it to convert it back to text (PDF is a form of image/graphic file; like a photo taken of how it will print).
    Take a look at PDFPen Pro:

    from Smile Software
    They also have a more limited featured version for less money:

  • How do I embed fonts into Captivate projects?

    This question came up in May 2006 but was never really
    answered. I'd like to know how to embed fonts into my Captivate
    projects so that the output looks the same on all computers. While
    the text animations are fine, the Text Caption fields are the ones
    that seem to have fonts that go walkies on other computers. I know
    you can embed fonts in PDFs. Why not in Captivate (unless I'm
    missing something in 2.0).

    First, a tip for the forums: If you use the URL tags, your
    post won't require horizontal scrolling - sorry, but I use Firefox
    and entering a long URL totally blows my ability to smoothly read
    the post ... you can manually add a text link by using the "L" tag
    as shown below (I've put spaces in to avoid this being turned into
    another text link)
    [ L = Your Text]
    http://www.yourdomain.com [ /
    L ]
    Back to your issue, Charinos. I'm glad you did find the URL,
    but that thread and your problem are not even in the same world.
    That thread deals with fonts in text-entry boxes (boxes for
    end-user text-entry), and you are talking about text-captions, an
    entirely different object.
    In fact, if you make changes and save those changes to a
    text-caption, then publish the project, the fonts in your text
    captions will remain stable and are not dependent on the fonts
    installed on the end-viewer's machine. The reason is that when the
    SWF is compiled, the text captions are converted to images and so
    long as the file is viewed as intended in the HTML document - at
    the proper size - the stretching you describe cannot take place.
    I'm not saying you are seeing things, but if my understandings of
    the Captivate machine are correct, what you are saying is happening
    cannot
    be happening. Something else is going on, like a failure to
    save changes, use of non-conforming text-caption boxes with a
    resultant loss of margins, or something.
    Sorry I'm not more help. I can't duplicate what you are
    seeing but I hope someone else can help you out - I may still be
    misunderstanding your issue.

  • Any way to view (embed) PDF with layers on a website?

    Hi!
    I have a PDF file of a map that has layers like water, terrain, roads, city/country names etc.. I would like to embed that PDF file into my website and preserve those layers so that people visiting the website could turn on and off those layers. Is there any way to do it?

    General Repair of Adobe Acrobat Reader corrupted .pdf file...
    1. Go to adobe official site, click the "Support" tab on the top of the screen, click on "Adobe Reader," and then select the "I can't open a PDF document" statement underneath "Troubleshooting." The Support tab is located near the top of the screen as a white word against a black backdrop. After clicking Support, you will see the phrase "Product Support Centers" on a new page in bold white font, under which is "Adobe Reader." The new page after clicking "Adobe Reader" will have the word "Troubleshooting" underneath the phrase "Adobe Reader and Help Support." Underneath "Troubleshooting" is "I can't open a PDF document."
    2. Follow the instructions on how to complete a general repair and installation of Adobe Acrobat Reader. To attempt the most basic PDF repair method, Open "Adobe Acrobat Reader" (select the program in your Start menu, which is on the bottom-left part of the screen), select "Help" from the gray tab menu at the top of Adobe Acrobat Reader, and click on "Repair Adobe Reader Installation." A meter should pop up indicating that your Adobe version is being checked for errors and is being linked back to the home Adobe official website just in case you need to download a new update of the program. If you need to download an updated version of the program, another pop-up will appear on your screen asking you if you want to update Adobe. Click "Yes."
    3. Reopen the PDF file. It should now be readable. If not, then try the next set of directions.
    4. If nothing helped, and you can't redowload .pdf file from source where it was, then use third party solution PDF On-line repair service https://onlinefilerepair.com/en/pdf-repair-online.html

  • Embed pdf in website, show one page at a time, with forward and back controls?

    Hi,
    Not sure if this is possible (or if this is the right place to ask), but I need to take a multiple page pdf, embed it in a website so its on the left half of the screen, have it only show one page at a time, and have the forward and back page controls.
    Is this possible, and if so, could someone point me in the right direction?

    Typically you would save it to a JPeg and post those on the web site. Expecting a PDF to show up depends on the client computer configuration and browser. This is too risky, unless you don't mind getting nasty little notes that it does not work. If you do it with JPegs, then all the browsers I know of can handle it. Then simply put the PDF separately for those who prefer to download the PDF and look at it separately.

  • How to embed PDF file within a parent PDF file

    Hi,
    I have created a button on my PDF document to open another PDF file in a new window. I want to sent this PDF to my client who will then mass email it out. My problem is that I want to embed the second file so it goes where ever the parent PDF goes and will open without file location errors, and not rely on both files being sent.
    I have read somewhere that this happens automatically if you attached a sound or movie clip??
    Thanks for any help.
    P.s I am using Acrobat Professional CS3
    I have also tried packaging files together, but it still seems to look of the external second file.

  • Trying to embed PDF in Flash website

  • Cannot EMBED PDF into Office

    When trying to EMBED a pdf into Office 2010 (Powerpoint, excel, word, etc), i get an error that Acrobat.exe cannot be found. We have Adobe Reader X and Adobe Writer X installed. When I open Adobe Reader X and try to EMBED the pdf, it works fine, but with Adobe Reader closed, it gives Acrobat.exe error. We have an application that allows/denies access to certain application, due to licensing, not all users are allowed to run Acrobate Writer, but it is installed. We need to figure out why with Reader Closed, Acrobat Writer is being called from Office embeding. i already checked the Acro.Exch.Document and Acro.Exch.Document.7 keys and they are set for Reader.

    You have two apps installed both offering the same OLE classes, but one with a more complete implementation. I wouldn't like to speculate how Windows arbitrates between them, but it isn't likely to consider issues such as licensing. I wouldn't expect this to fully work.

  • Embed PDF into Website

    Is there a way to embed a pdf into a adobe muse website?
    It should have 100% width/height.
    Somehow the size are not handled properly.
    Its only a small strip no matter what sizes i put in the code.
    Code examples:
    <object data='http://www.johanna-etienne-krankenhaus.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Somatik/johanna-etienne-kr ankenhaus.de/verlinkte_Dateien/Orthopaedie/Newsletter/JEK_Ortho_Newsletter_09-03.pdf#'
            type='application/pdf'
            width='100%'
            height='100%'>
    <p>It appears your Web browser is not configured to display PDF files.
    No worries, just <a href='http://www.johanna-etienne-krankenhaus.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Somatik/johanna-etienne-kr ankenhaus.de/verlinkte_Dateien/Orthopaedie/Newsletter/JEK_Ortho_Newsletter_09-03.pdf'>click here to download the PDF file.</a></p>
    Another way:
    <embed src=".../linktofile.pdf" width="100%" height="100%">
    Any other solutions, that could work properly?

    Ok, i have figured out now, how the pdf will be shown in the browser. You have to define the MIME type in the .htaccess file.
    The .htaccess has to have this code-line:
    AddType application/pdf .pdf
