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!

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.

  • How to create a title over the top of the left-most column in a cross-tab.

    This is one of those things that seems simple until you try it.
    I'm almost there.  I moved the cross-tab from the report header to the report footer so I can have a page title.  I tried using an overlay but it didn't work for any page past the first.
    I can't seem to figure out how to put a title over the left-most column though.
    Thanks in advance,
    J

    I have used a text box, after you type in the text, select the box, and move it to the front.
    then select the crosstab and move it to the back.

  • Is it possible to use the drawing dynamic content to erase an image rather than draw over the top?

    I'm trying to create a cover for my magazine  that has a chalk board with writing on. I want the user to be able to erase the writing with their finger but can't figure out how to do it. All i can do is draw a solid colour over the top. What i want is for the finger swipe to erase the .png image instead. wondered if it can be done using a mask but I can only get a mask to reveal solid colour not an image.

    If the images are exactly the same size then make sure the layer with the mask
    is the active layer and in the other documents go to Select>Load Selection and choose
    your document with the layer mask under Source document and under channel choose the layer mask.
    After the selection loads press the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel.

  • Is it possible to create in R/3 the invoices with status u0091parkedu0092?

    Hi ppl.
    We are working in EBP with extended classic scenario.
    We want to create invoices in EBP, but we want to create all invoice documents via EDI with status ‘parked’ in R/3.
    We read note 501524 (EDI: Generally parking incoming invoices). The note describes all that we want to do, but the problem is that the Function exit ‘EXIT_SAPLMRMH_014’ does not work for ‘BBPIV’ message type and the ‘IDOC_INPUT_BBP_IV’ function module.
    Is it possible to create in R/3 the invoices with status ‘parked’ for all incoming invoices created in EBP?
    Thanks and regards.

    Raul,
            Did you find a solution for this.
    We want to do the same here.
    thanks

  • Is it possible to create "places" tags without the maping feature?

    Is it possible to create "places" tags without the maping feature? I updated from PSE 10 (where I created my own list of "places,") to PSE 12, where "places" seems to require the mapping feature. I would prefer not to use the map, and stick to my old way.
    Thanks for any help!
    Tom

    Apparently, not only is the mapping feature required, but once the GPS-loaded Place tag is created, it is not listed in alphabetical order with other place tags.  It is listed by country, then by state, then by title!!  !! VERY irritating!!  And what if I want to create a place tag (of which I already have many) which does not have a recognizeable address, like, say, Grandmother's House?  VERY irritating.
    And if I use the Keyword feature to create Place tags, they will be in an entirely separate list from the other Place tags.  VERY irritating!
    Who designed this upgrade?  I will soon start looking for an alternative, though I have used Photoshop Organizer for years and have thousands of photos in it.  My upgrade to PSE 12 has caused me nothing but headaches.

  • I'm trying to multi-track using an m-audio device, I can record my guitar fine. However, I want to create a new track so I can record an acoustic tambourine over the top. Instead it records the original guitar as well as tambourine? its really annoying

    I'm trying to multi-track using an m-audio device, I can record my guitar fine. However, I want to create a new track so I can record an acoustic tambourine over the top. Instead it records the original guitar as well as the tambourine coming out with a really distorted sound. I've managed to record over the top of a guitar before and add diferent riffs and sounds but I've tried all of the settings but its still not working. Basically I want to record different tracks without it recording my previous guitar riffs as well. Help would really be appreciated.

    Ah that was it, thanks a lot common sense really but thanks for the help

  • Arrrghhh saved over the top - autorecovery??

    Something I've not done for YEARS! But had an action that creats a duplicate file which was spitting the dummy on saving - so had to stop creating a dupe, and then forgot that I'd done that.  So I've just saved a low res flat version over the top of my high res layered work file.  Theres an several hours rectouching there I'd rather not do.  Now theres no autorecovery file in the usual location:
    my question is is it possible the autorecovery file is still there on the disk and could be recovered?  Any other suggestions?

    Please tell me you still have Photoshop with the recently saved file 'Open' with no further changes made. If that is the case, a simple 'Undo' will work!
    If not, I doubt there is a way.
    AFAIK, Autorecovery is recreated and reset everytime you manually 'save' the file.
    Well, unless you had a Time Machine drive or some similar real-time backup enabled, I don't think there is a possibility to recover.
    There are disk recovery tools that recover data for you - as when you save over a file you don't delete old data - you're just creating incremental data to your file partition. But, this is a 50:50 probability. Depends on what activity your disk has gone through since the last save and lot of other aspects.
    Sorry, tough luck.

  • Trying to place one item over the top of another

    I am using DW CS3 and I am trying to create a banner (of pictures) and over the top of that I want text-only logo to appear above and drop down to overlap the top of the pictures. I'm sure there is some easy way to do this, but everything I try doesn't work. I can get the text behind the pictures but not in front of them. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    I have attached a .gif image so you can see what I want it to look like.

    Gary,
    I do understand that it is easier if I send a link to what I'm trying to do; however, I am just beginning the designing so it is pretty much a blank slate. Here is what I have in mind:
    I have The Nook Cafe as a logo image .gif that I want to place over a banner of pictures I have that are individual pictures placed within a container, this is what I am thinking:
    #header
    this would contain text for the upper right corner
    #headerlogo
    this would contain The Nook Text image
    #photos
    this div would contain the photos
    #photo1
    #photo2
    etc...
    So this is what i have tried:
    <div id="header">
    <div id="headerlogo">
    <div id="photos"> <div id="photo1"></div><div id="photo2"></div><div id="photo3"></div>
    </div></div></div>
    then I played with the z value and the margin settings.....all to no avail.
    Does this make more sense? As you can see I am lost as to how to accomplish the overall look I am going after.

  • I backed up my broken ipad, returned it to Apple got it replaced and have now accidently backup'd on my computer over the top of my original Ipad Back up.  how do I get previous copy of my back up??

    i backed up my broken ipad to my computer yesterday, returned it to Apple & got it replaced today and have now accidently backup'd on my computer over the top of my original Ipad Back up from yesterday.  Can anyone advise how do I get previous copy of my back up??

    Look at this knowledge base article on iOS backups to iTunes, note where the backups are kept for your type of computer, Windows or Mac, go to that Library location and see if there are any other files with the same name as the current backup but with a different extension and date/time stamp.  If so you can edit the extension of the current backup and then change the extension of the previous backup so it looks like what was on the current and the do a restore.  iTunes will think the older backup is now new and use it to restore.
    If there are no such files then you over-wrote the backup and it is gone.

  • Selecting (and resizing, for example) a layer under the top layer via the Program Monitor

    Hello all.
    Using CS5
    I am in the timeline and have selected layer 1 which is a video layer
    Layer 2 is a title layer.
    I want to manually resize layer 1, via the Program Monitor.
    But when I go to the Program Monitor and select it Layer 2 (the title layer) becomes selected, preventing me from selecting and manually resizing/repositioning Layer 1.
    The above example is a simplified version of what I usually find myself doing.  Usually I have many layers above a layer that I want to resize or reposition (or do something else) but when I try to resize or repositon via the program monitor I am only able to manipulate the top layer.
    Any suggestions, other than locking every layer other than what I want to resize etc .?
    Thanks

    Hi Bill,
    No they are separate orginal tracks. 
    Is there a way to "select" a layer below the top layer via the Progam Monitor -- and perform modifications on that lower level -- such a manually resizing on the Program Monitor.  I find if I want to do it via the Program  Monitor I have to temporarily lock the top layer.
    And if I have lots of layers above the layer I want to manually resize, I have to lock all of the layers above that layer so I don't start moving around (for example a title layer which might be the top layer of the sequence) in order to manually resize via the Program Monitor.
    I know (for example) in the case of scaling or repositioning a layer I could do it via the effects control panel, but I often want to do it via the Program Monitor.
