Embedding Captivate 4 Movies in PDF

I created a PDF document using Acrobat 8 that has 3 Captivate 4 movies embedded.  The  movies play just fine on Windows but only play for 5 seconds on macs.   Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, please let me know what  the solution is.  I have searched on the Community Help and can't find  anything related to this problem.  Thanks.

There is a problem in using flash files on a Mac. You need to use the Flash tool and not use the legacy multimedia content method. This may only be available with Acrobat 9.

    Someone answered my question on the Acrobat forum.  I needed to upgrade to 9 and use the Flash Tool which solved the problem.

  • Embedding Captivate movies (swfs) into Acrobat 8 3D

    I embedded a swf movie (from Captivate 3) into Acrobat 8 3-D,
    but it displays as a black rectangle in Acrobat 8 3D, and a blank
    white area in Adobe Reader 8. The movie does play, but I'm trying
    to figure out why, if I have the poster setting correctly in
    Acrobat, I get the black rectangle and not a graphic of the first
    slide of the movie. (I originally posted this on the Acrobat User
    Community but haven't received a response (
    http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?pid=3093).
    I purchased the Adobe Technical Communications Suite, if that makes
    any difference.
    Thanks

    Hi GinaL
    You probably need to edit the settings of your Captivate.
    Select a loading screen that indicates your user should click. You
    can create your own. All you need is a bitmap image. Once you do
    this and republish and reinsert, the loading screen should appear
    and indicate you can click.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Need assistance embedding separate files into a PDF

    All,
    I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Version 10.1.2).  I followed the instructions below to try and embed separate Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files into my PDF document as thumbnails, but the only problem is, this only works on my computer because the files are saved on my machine.  As soon as I move my PDF file which contains the links, the links will not open.
    How do I essentially do the same thing but have the thumbnail links be viewable by anyone, no matter their location?
    Create a link using the Link tool
    Choose Tools > Content > Link. The pointer becomes a cross hair, and any existing links in the document, including invisible links, are temporarily visible.
    Drag a rectangle where you want to create a link. This is the area in which the link is active.
    In the Create Link dialog box, choose the options you want for the link appearance.
    Select one of the following link actions: 
    Go To A Page View
    Click Next to set the page number and view magnification you want in the current document or in another document (such as a file attachment), and then click Set Link.
    Open A File
    Select the destination file and click Select. If the file is a PDF, specify how the document should open (for example in a new window or within an existing window), and then click OK. 
    Note: If the filename is too long to fit in the text box, the middle of the name is truncated.
           Open A Web Page
                     Provide the URL of the destination web page.
           Custom Link
                     Click Next to open the Link Properties dialog box. In this dialog box, you can set any action, such as reading an article, or executing a menu command, to be associated with the link.

    Hi George,
    I just tried adding the files as attachments; however I didn't like doing that because it increased the file size of my PDF document quite a bit. 
    I'm not sure if you're familiar with the "Insert Object" command in MS Word, but I want to do the same thing in my PDF document...but the key is, anyone must to be able to open the embedded file from any location.
    I created an MS Word document with several embedded objects.  I was later asked to PDF the Word document, but since embedded MS Word objects do not migrate to the PDF, I am now trying to embed the same files I embedded into my Word document into my PDF document over top of the icon image.  The file types I'm trying to embed include MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF.  Does this make more sense?  I want to create a hyperlink over top the icon image that was PDF'd from the MS Word document which allows any user to click on the link and open the separate file.

  • Embedding Captivate in Flex

    So, the list of new features for Captivate 4 had a biggie that caught my attention:
    "Take advantage of ActionScript® 3.0 publishing to bring Adobe Flex® content into your Adobe Captivate projects, and to embed Adobe Captivate movies in your Flex content."
    As a Flex developer, that sounds great, but I can't find a single piece of documentation about embedding Captivate files into Flex. Embedding the published SWF using a SWFLoader component is easy, but is there an API for actually controlling the progression of the Captivate movie? If not, what's the point?
    Also, on a somewhat related note, whenever I've tried to export a Captivate presentation to Flash CS3/CS4, the process generates an individual SWF file for each slide, which is loaded by the FLA at runtime. However, even when the Publishing Settings are set to ActionScript 3.0 in Captivate 4, the individual SWF files appear to be exported in ActionScript 2.0 format. When I run the FLA in debug mode, I get error messages in the Console reading "Cannot perform Looping properly as the loaded swf is an as2 one", and indeed, the slides with animations loop annoyingly until I advance to the next slide. Is there a way to get Captivate to export AS3 slides that don't loop their animations?
    I should mention that I'm primarily working with slides that have been imported from PowerPoint presentations.

    I've built a player in Flex that loads in different Captivate 4 quiz files through a SWFLoader component. The student logs in (using an employee number), selects the test to take from a List (wrapped in an Accordian - also includes a Progress list indicating tests already completed). After completing the test, the score variable is passed back and I use a FlexSQL component to pass the captured score, employee number, etc. back to a backend database (currently MS Access) for further processing and loading into our LMS when all of the tests are completed. The student can see which tests have already been completed or if they click on a test in the list that has been completed, an Alert box opens to inform them it has been done. Took me about 2 months to create it because as you say, there really isn't much out there regarding how to get these communicating with each other. Give me a shout by email if need more.

  • I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
    Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
    Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
    If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
    Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

  • How do I move a pdf into the Photos app?

    I'm trying to upload a resume, but when I click browse, the only option available is to take a photo or upload an image from photos. Is there a way to move a pdf from pages or googledrive into photos? I do not have a laptop and I use my IPad for everything, so this is a little frustrating.

    No, the Photos app does not support pdf.
    What exactly do you mean "when I click browse"?  If you're on a website where you are prompted to browse to where your resume file is saved, you can't do that with iPad.  You'd need to save the pdf to a computer and upload it from there if the website requires this type of file submission method.

  • View/Save/Print Embedded Form on Webpage to PDF

    How can a user View/Save/Print Embedded Form on Webpage to PDF?

    Hi,
    Currently FormsCentral does not support to View/Save/Print Embedded Form from the Webpage to PDF. If you are the form author, you can save/print the form to PDF in FormsCentral, and the PDF forms can be viewed in Acrobat or Reader.Or if you like, you can save/print the entire web page to PDF using the browser, but the form could not be submitted then. I hope it's clear, and please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

  • How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

    How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

    You can't save a PDF directly to the photos app, but if you can open the PDF in the mail app and get the entire PDF to appear on the screen, take a screenshot of it and that will be saved to the photos app camera roll.
    Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time briefly until you see the white flash on the screen and hear the shutter sound. That's how to take a screenshot.
    You should probably tap and hold down on the PDF in the mail app and select it to open in iBooks or another PDF app that you might have on the iPad.

  • How to go from movie to pdfs and back to movie - gracefully

    Hi All,
    I followed Hunt's instructions for how to burn pdfs to folder and burn that folder and VIDEO_TS folder to disc and it worked great.
    Now I need to know how to gracefully move viewer from movie to pdf folder.  I inserted a Stop marker that takes viewer back to Main Menu at the appropriate time, but I don't see a way to add a Menu Item that closes the media player and/or takes them directly to the pdf folder stored on the disc.  I had to manually close the media player, open the Computer window, right click the DVD drive and select "Open" to see the pdf folder.
    And once viewer reviews the pdf, how do I lead him/her back to the movie menu to watch the rest of the movie?  When I clicked on VIDEO_TS, the folder opened to reveal the files within, but there was no indication of how to restart the movie.
    Thanks,
    Antoinette

    Hunt will have to answer this. I don't know that it's even possible to view PDFs on a DVD player, if that's what you're asking.

  • Embed audio and movie into pdf

    Since acrobat pro 9 is not available for mac I don't understand why Apple can't embed audio and movie into pdf. This is a really needed feature. Oh and also creating spreads in pages09 is needed as well. I want to use pages to create ebooks with audio and movie data etc come on Apple get it sorted .. You have an amazing program here and could clout Adobe on the head if you implemented these features.

  • Indesign/Acrobat PDF - embedded link file(word, excel, pdf)

    Hi,
    In the microsoft word, we can embedd, the pdf, word or excel files as link, so that when you click the embedded file (for eg. if you click the pdf icon of embedded file in word, the pdf file will open, as same as the word files and excel files will open) . There is will no seperate link files will be there. (so from a word doc embedded with pdf files and excel files will be opened from the word itself)
    Is there any option to do like this in Indesign or Pdf, where we can embedd the Link files inside the indesign, without linking the files from the hard dirve or server.
    Any idea about this? You people understand what i am trying to say?

    Acrobat Pro has an Attachements navigation panel that you can add (embed) files that will open in their native application when clicked to open.
    InDesign can do something similar... you can embed files via the Links panel... you can also edit original (but you might need to unembed it first.
    Not on a computer with InDesign right now, I will check tommorrow.

    Does Firefox switch to full screen if you press F11 ?
    You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.
