Embedding a pdf

Hi,
I have a few pdf documents that I'd like to embed (currently doing that via Advanced Actions) into my Captivate project. It works fine for me, but when I shared the project (as an .exe file) with a co-worker, he was unable to view the pdf; nothing happened when he clicked on the button to activate advanced action. What do I do on my end to make sure it works for all recipients of the elearning, not just on my computer?
Thanks for your input in advance.

It's the 5.8, 5.9, 5.11, 5.15, 8.0, and Terms of Use pdf documents I am trying to incorporate.
Here is the contents of the published/zipped folder -
And here is the path -
This is my first time working with the pdf's so I appreciate you helping me with this.

- Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.

Hi ,
There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

Embeded 3D PDF not showing up in webpage on IE8 with Windows XP

Hi,
There seems to be a compatibility problem with embedded 3D PDF and IE8 on Windows XP. The PC that is experiencing the problem runs on Windows XP Professional Edition with Service Pack 3; it also has Adobe Reader X Version 10.1.3 installed.
This compatibility problem can be demonstrated with the following screenshots.
The first screenshot shows a blank space with a small red "X" at the lower left corner which was taken when IE8 was being used. This blank space is where the embedded 3D PDF is suppose to show up.
The second screenshot shows how the webpage is suppose to look. It was taken when Firefox 14.0.1 was used to browse the same webpage.
Here is the URL for this testing page:
http://search.newport.com/?q=*&x2=sku&q2=SM-25
What can I do to have my XP computer show this website correctly on IE8? Or is this a problem for the webmaster of this website?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I too am having this same problem. When I contac
t Adobe the person was of no help and
I can not print any PDF files. This is so frustrating.
I can not delete it not open it. What gives???

In coded ui how do you correctly retrieve a browser window that contains an embedded Adobe PDF reader in browser

I'am running across this issue when I'm debugging or running my coded UI automation project, where i get the exception labeled "{"COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used." System.Exception {System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException}"
everytime i come from a browser window that contains a pdf reader embedded in it. This happens every time I retrieve the window and try to click back. It barfs when i perform the back method on it. I've tried different things but none has worked including
the playback wait.
var hereIsmypdf = ReturnPDFDoc();
public BrowserWindow ReturnPDFDoc()
Playback.Wait(1000);
var myPdFdoc = GlobalVariables.Browser;
return myPdFdoc;
hereIsmypdf.Back();

Hi skinny_Will,
<<"{"COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used." System.Exception {System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException
According this exception error message, I did some research about it. I know that this exception error is occurred in
COM object which was disposed if you are using the COM objects in a same static class or variables which ware shared between tests.
So please you refer the following blog to use ExecutionThread element to instruct the test to use the MTA threading model. This way, the static instance of "store" can be shared across tests.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/martijnh/archive/2009/12/31/unit-testing-com-object-that-has-been-separated-from-its-underlying-rcw-cannot-be-used.aspx
Note: if you are using the VS2013 to create the coded UI test, you will need to add a test setting file to add this
ExecutionThread.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee256991.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
In addition, ad you said that when you playback the browser window that contains an embedded Adobe PDF reader and then it could not work.
I suggest you could try to add more searchproperties to find this target control and then check this issue.
I find a similar thread about your issue, please refer the Steve's code to check your issue.

Embedding a pdf file in 10g reports

Hello Dears,
I need to embed some pdf file into my .rdf report in 10g.
I have already done this in forms 10g through bean pdfviewer but i dont know how to do that in reports.
Please help

PDFs are technically media files which require a helper app like Acrobat Reader and plug-ins to launch the helper app inside a browser. Many people, myself included, do not have the plug-ins. Or if we do, we choose not to open PDFs in our browsers. System preferences vary from one user to the next. So embedding a PDF inside an iframe will fail to work for a large number of people.
The safest practice is to create a thumbnail image of the PDF to give visitors a visual clue about what it contains. Then provide a direct link to the PDF file. That's how adobe does it on their samples page.

I embedded a pdf in an Outlook appointment. The appointment synced with my iPad calendar, but the pdf did not come through. Am I missing a setting?

Then your family members will probably have bought their ipads with a data plan from some phone company like AT&T in the States. Maybe they even got it "sponsored", because they bought a data plan with it.
If you bought your "iPad only" from a hardware seller, you will have to get a data plan from some phone company. Seems like you only bougth the hardware! You can still use your ipad, however, and if you have an iPhone, you do not even need a sim card in your iPad, because it can use your iPhone's data plan.
That is what I did. I save the extra money for the 3G version, because with an iPhone 4 there is no need for an own sim Card in an iPad.
But that is another topic.

Code39Wide-Regular Fonts in the crystal report cannot be embedded with PDF

Hello ,
Good Day!
We are using Code39Wide-Regular Fonts in the crystal report for bar codes. While converting this report to the PDF format from Crystal viewer, we are getting the following error. It seems like this particular font cannot be embedded with PDF format.
Error - Failed to Export the report
Code39Wide-Regular- Font is not allowed to be embeded in document,
File - F:\Apps\9.40\Crystal\sfc\jobprtx.rpt
How can we solve this issue permanantly (Not a workaround )?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Philip, Due to licensing issues CR cannot embed licensed fonts in a PDF file. Your only work around is to export the report to editable Word format and then open the file in Word 2007 and get the export to PDF plug-in available from Microsoft.
This will not be fixed in this or upcoming version of CR.
Thank you

Unable to play SWF media embedded in PDF

Hello,
Adobe Reader does not play SWF media embedded in PDFs, if SWF version is higher than 6. I get the error "The media clip cannot be played in rhe manner that the author intended. You may need to upgrade your player software or install new player software".
I have installed Adobe Reader 9.3.0 and Acrobat Flash Player 10. Acrobat Flash Player plays all my SWF files without problem in Firefox browser .
If I change version byte to 6 in the SWF media, Reader happily plays it.
Best regards,
Angelina

Embedding several PDF files into one using bookmarks

Hello, everyone.
My concern is about embedding some PDF files wherein there are bookmarks for each file to navigate through their chapters, sections, etc. using any PDF Viewer.
I want to embed these PDF files into an overall document which creates bookmarks to navigate through the embedded PDF files preserving the internal bookmarks of every PDF file.
Minimal bookmarks example:
File A
File B
Chapter 1
Section 1Figure of file A
Section 2
Prologue
Chapter 1
Section 1Figure of file B
Section 2
Prologue
Overall document
File A
Chapter 1
Section 1Figure of file A
Section 2
Prologue
File B
Chapter 1
Section 1Figure of file B
Section 2
Prologue
Which I am almost sure it can be done with Adobe® Acrobat but I do not know how to do it and I still do not manage to get it by myself. I would not prefer to do it by joining PDF files without bookmarks and recreate them because I have files with more than one hundred sections and chapters, it would be really troublesome besides I have not enough time to devote on it.
Thank you in advance to everyone.

Use Acrobat's Combine files feature (available in Acrobat XI Standard and Pro).
Be well...

Unable to fetch data in embedded Xcelsius PDF file on disconnected system

I have an Xcelsius 2008 document with QaaWS. I am able to export it to the PDF and fetch data using QaaWS.
I would like to know, it is possible for the embedded Xcelsius file in PDF to fetch data when the PDF file is sent to customers outside the network.
We are using Business Objects XI 3.1, Xcelsius 2008, QaaWS, MS SQL Server 2008
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When you send the PDF file for the dashboard you have created in Xcelsius, it takes it with the data available in embeded excel. You need not send the data separetly with the PDF.
However, if the data changes, you need to save the dashboard again in PDF format and send it to the user community.
Hope I answered your question.
Regards,
Rashmi

Is it not possible to print Flash embedded in PDF as you see it on screen?

Hi,
I have this problem to which I cannot find a solution. I posted my question to another mailing list but I didn't get a reaction.
It is about printing a PDF which contains Flash movies. Actually zooming is an issue too, but printing is more important.
I have attached a sample file. When opened with Adobe Reader 9.1, the first page looks OK. The charts on the
second page are wider than the page width, so that's OK too.
Zoom in; you will observe that the Flash charts will not get resized right away. To
see the effect of zooming, set the page display to "single page", page
forward/backward.
Print the file, the size of the printed Flash charts is much smaller than what is
displayed.
Am I missing something, or isn't printing PDF with embedded Flash movies 100% supported?
Thanks

Cannot open embedded Adobe PDF files in Safari 5.1

I am disgusted to find that Apple has removed Safari's ability to open embedded PDF files in Safari 5.1. This is a huge mistake by Apple, and the only work around from Adobe was to use a different browser.
Get on the ball, Apple!!! Fix your MISTAKES!!!

Ah...this is an Adobe issue, not Apple.

Adobe reader XI no longer plays video or audio embedded in PDF created with Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

Help please!
Embedded video and audio content in PDFs created using Adobe Acrobat X Pro does NOT play on some school computers after Acrobat Reader XI is installed. The media content played fine with Acrobat X. This is seen with both XP and Windows 7 machines.
Bizarrely, other machines with Windows 7 and XP play the video and audio content fine when Acrobat XI is installed.
Please help, as the PDFs are the delivery mechanism for a very effective literacy programme for children, and this bug has halted delivery for a considerable number of schools and thousands of children are in trouble!

Hi Raman,
I think we have found the source of the problem. It relates to how different browsers are detected by Adobe when updating Flash Player.
To make the videos play within PDFs either from DVD or on the hard drive, it is now essential that Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin (now version 11.5.502.113) is installed. (Adobe Reader 10 had its own internal flash player, so an external player was not needed)
We have discovered that, when Google Chrome is the browser, automatic updates of Flash do NOT download this programme. Flash 11 ActiveX is the only programme that is downloaded, and the videos do NOT play from DVD or harddrive.
Also, it is not possible to manually download Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin as this option is not presented to the user. Presumably Adobe have set it up this way, because the Adobe site recognises Chrome is being used, and assumes that the computer does not need the plugin flash player, as Chrome has its own internal flash player. However, other programmes may need it!
We went to FileHippo to download the non-IE version (even though we were using Chrome!) at
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/
Then the videos played from DVD or harddrive.
I have not been able to test how this works with other browsers. I hope that Adobe can sort this problem out asap!

Error embedding a .pdf in Microsoft Word

I am using MS Word 2013 on Windows 7. I have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installed as well, which is set as the default reader for .pdf files on my machine. (I also have Adobe Reader XI installed).
When I attempt to embed a .pdf file as an object inside of a Word doc (or an Excel spreadsheet), I receive the following error:
This functionality used to work fine in earlier versions of Adobe tools. From what research I have done on the web, it looks like this became an issue sometime around Adobe Acrobat/Reader v9, and it may be security-related. I tried some of the suggested fixes (e.g., removing various security settings at startup of Adobe Acrobat or Reader), but unfortunately, none have fixed the issue. I am able to embed any other file types (e.g., .doc, .txt, etc.) with no issue. I have found that if I completely uninstall both Acrobat and Reader, then I can embed a .pdf file into a Word doc with no issue. Then, if I reinstall Acrobat and/or Reader, the .pdf file type is once again recognized inside of the Word doc, and I can successfully open the embedded .pdf from the Word doc as well. However, I still cannot embed any more .pdfs in a Word doc afterwards (since Acrobat and/or Reader have been installed again), and I'm back to square one.
This may be a Microsoft issue, so I'm not sure if Adobe was the proper place to start, but I'm starting here anyway.
Thank you.

Hello Vikrantt, and thank you for the response.
A few things:
1) I am using Abobe Reader XI, not version X. I believe that the XI Preferences user interface is slightly different from X, as there is no Enable protected mode at start up under the General category. However, when I look around, I do see the Enable Protected Mode at startup option under the Security (Enhanced) category, so I cleared that check box and clicked OK. I also manually restarted Adobe Reader XI, as per a message box that popped up after I cleared this option:
2) I closed all instanced of MS Word 2013, and opened up a fresh instance, but unfortunately, when I try to embed a .pdf document, I now get the following error:
I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed and registered on my machine, so I'm not sure what the issue is. I have already tried uninstalling both the Reader and Acrobat and reinstalling them, bu that didn't fix the issue.
