Hey all,
When using a web object to display a PDF object, how do you hide the bar that appears in the webobject at the top? This is the display bar with page navigation, zooming in/out etc. I only want the scrollbar to be visible.
Thanks!
Note: If there is a better way to embed scrollable PDFs inside a Captivate slide, I would appreciate if you let me know. Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion.
Unfortunately, this did not work.
When Previewing, this turned the Web object into a white-filled box with a then border, and in Published, it turned Web Objected into a grayed-out box with the words "It may have been moved, edited, or deleted."
I also tried to use your suggetion to try other things like #toolbars=0 (in plural), #toolbar=1, #toolbar=2, and #navbar=0.

Normally #toolbar=0 should do the trick. But if this doesn't work you can try to add #toolbar=0&navpanes=0 to the url.

You are opening the pdf in the browser reader in that case. I think you are pointing at the control panel of that reader.

You can use 'Open file' and add the pdf to the published folder.

Hi Lilybiri! Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, having the "address" field point to the published folder and then pasting the PDF into the folder after publishing it still has the bar with the zoom in/out and pages on it.

I do not understand what you mean by pointing to the control panel. Thanks for your help.
