Solution for Opening PDF in captivate 3..Maybe

I know many of you have been struggling with this...I have
too and for me sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.
My scenario is at the end of a captive 3 demo, I put a button
to allow the user to download a PDF of the simulation. The button
is on the very last slide. and is a link to a file. I discovered it
worked in some of the simulations and some it didn't, and I was
pulling out my hair to figure it out. So here is what I did and it
seems to now work consistently. In no particular order
-The button that you put on the last slide has to has the
"Pause After" checked box checked, I just made it after about 2.5
sec my total slide length is 3sec
-when you select the file to link to it puts the whole path
to the document. (ie C:/document and setting/etc) I deleted all of
that and just left the name of the file I wanted to link to and
open in a new window
-Shortcut key none
infinite attempts
-publish everything to the same folder-
Anyway this has worked for me and become my solution. I just
thought I'd post it here and maybe it will help someone out there
with the same problem.

Sorry most of my message disappeared :-( I tried using the
bullets points...looks like it didn't work so good.

I am not sure what you used to post the solution but it is
not readable. Please try again.

Parameters for opening PDF files in a browser

I read some of the posts about making a text link from an html page to a specific location in a pdf document in the browser. I set up the parameters, as I understand it, according to the document "Parameters for Opening PDF Files." The result from my test took me to the top of page 1, not to the bookmark on page 3 that I specified. See the link below. What is wrong with the parameters?

You can also go to the website: http://www.tabardtheatre.org/audition.html and click on the text link (in blue).

The PDF Open Parameters do not contain the option to link directly to a bookmark, as was mentioned, but I've developed a script that can add this functionality to your files. Have a look here, if you're interested: http://try67.blogspot.com/2011/06/acrobat-link-to-specific-bookmark-in.html

HT2506 how do you set Preview as the default for opening pdf in browser?

How do I set the Preview application to be the default for viewing PDF's in while in Safari? Previously, while in Safari and clicking on links to PDF's, they would display with buttons on the bottom that made it simple to view and download the PDF. Since updating Adobe Reader it seems Reader is now the default application for viewing PDF's accessed from the internet. I haven't been able to figure out how to revert back to Preview.....

I did this and now Safari won't open the form at all.
I put the files back and it opens in Adobe.
When I save the files to desktop they open in Preview. But I am trying to read pdf's(? forms) while in Safari.
Adobe does not work smoothly in Safari and scrolling to read is a nightmare.
OS X 10.8.5
This problem came up within the last few months.
Before everything opened in Preview perfectly.

Default for opening pdf files keeps changing back to 'save file' after I set it to open in firefox

Since upgrading to the latest Firefox version, my options for opening adobe pdf files have changed. I set it to 'use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox', it works absolutely fine, then some time over the next few days it changes itself back to 'save file'. Then I have to open options and change it again. This happened to me some years back with a much earlier version of Firefox - I can't remember how it was resolved, I think it just stopped doing it after a while. But it is most irritating!

I echo the request for Help! I've added Options to my Toolbar so I can more easily change "Save File" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" as the default. Why does Firefox keep reverting to the save file default?

Any idea why Preview won't work for opening PDF files with this OS?

For some reason, after the last update to Mavericks 10.9.3, any time I attempt to open a PDF using Preview, the file will not open. No response from the system. Any recommended solutions? Thanks in advance!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Can't open PDF in Captivate 3

I have converted a CBT from Captivate 2 to 3. I cannot open
the attached PDF files once the CBT has been published to the Web.
I don't think this is a conversion problem because I had the same
problem in Captivate 2. I have check to make sure the pdf files
have been promoted to the web site and they have. All the files are
together the pdf files just won't open. Please does anyone have a
suggestion to fix this? It is very frustrating. I am hoping I am
missing something simple. Help - The deadline is here!

Hi all
One possible way past this is to use the companion
MenuBuilder application. Create a small blank project in
MenuBuilder. No need for any images. All you need is a single Click
Box that covers the area. Link the Click Box to the file and Export
from MenuBuilder as a .SWF. Once you have it exported, click Insert
> Animation and drop it on the slide in Captivate where you want
the user to click to open the file. Place the animation over an
image or something so it looks like a Button or link.
Give that a go and post back with results... Rick

Solved: No "Open" button for opening PDF in browser

Howdy,
One of our users - she has the same config as everyone else (imaged PC) - does not get an "Open" button when clicking a link to a PDF in Internet Explorer. She is only presented with the "Save" or "Cancel" dialog box. I've tried changing the "Display PDF in Browser" check box, various registry settings, etc - nothing works.
Please help!
Thanks!

Looking for a solution for Sharing PDF form

Thanks all for your help in advance.
We are about to roll out a process that allows managers to provide employee feedback to us via a form I designed in Acrobat and imported into FormsCentral.
I was wondering if there was any way for a manager to share this completed form with the employee after submitting it to us WITHOUT the employee having the ability to re-submit the information. The best solution I found was Printing the form as a PDF which removed the submit button but does not allow for excess data in certain date fields to be viewable.
There may not be a great solution but any help would be appreciated.

You would have to add the managers as Co-authors or Contributors to the form. I would use Contributor. This will give them the ability to edit the responses (including export to pdf) but will not allow them to change the design of the form.

Solution for Prefilling PDF data

I called and spoke to a sales associate asking about LiveCycle for use to prefill pdf data for one of our large customers. He told me the cost was very high for LiveCycle and to come and ask here on what to user. I am familiar with now unsupported pdf-fdf solution but I am wondering if there is another solution that I'm unaware of. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Yeah, I have looked at the FDF toolkit, and we've used it before, but I'm wondering if there are other solutions available. My company is a commercial printer so we are familiar with vdp programming, but I'm not very up to date on what the successor to the FDF Toolkit is. Primarily I required something with a tighter and more secure integration than FDF allows.
Client produces many enrollment forms that we prepulate dynamically using VIPP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_Data_Intelligent_Postscript_Printware) when we recieve the print requests. They pay us for the programming to do this and it gets pretty high as we have to manually get the coordinates of each field, in each page of the print file that we need to populate and then program them into our templates using VIPP. They make edits to their forms every quarter and each form that has a change that moves as much as a line feed has to be completely recoded in VIPP. We want to reach a solution where they can have pdf, or web form of some sort on our end and submit the data to us to populate and print high res. Lower cost all around but consistent, professional output.
Thanks in advance.

Parameters for Opening PDF Files in Version XI

I have an application that opens a PDF document using Reader Version 7 - 10 at a particular page.
In Version XI this feature has been removed or changed and I can't find any documentation on Opening parameters for latest version.

Due to your answer I have done some further testing and it appears Version XI does not accept spaces in the file name.
If I remove the spaces in the file name it works fine.
I have tried enclosing the file name in single and double quotes but no luck.
I am using Delphi 7 and calling the routine Shellexecute with application parameter
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
and run parameters
/A"Page=33"C:\MP5\Manuals\1145009 Operating Instructions.PDF
The above works fine with version 7-10.
With version XI it fails to find the file.

Trying to open PDF in captivate 4

Hi,
I am trying to create a link to a pdf document using the open url or file action in Captivate 4. My problem is that I will eventually be creating a CD to run this from and whenever I move my files, I can't open the link.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi there
I suppose there may be a way to do it by using Flash to create a file that would do it. But I'll have to leave that to a Flashy type person to answer.
I really do wish that we would hear from Adobe on the matter. It's quite perplexing!
Cheers... Rick
