Question

How do I add attachments to a Captivate 7 eLearn?

Articulate has an Attachments button in the player window.  In Captivate 7 -   I want the user to click a button and the attachments window appears for them to download a document/PDF.

I can not find anything in Captivate to add that into the eLearn.  I know that I can create a click box to hyperlink to another site but I actually want the document embedded into the eLearn similar to how Articulate has the ATTACHMENTS button and you can decide which file to download.

Any guidance will help alot!  I don't want to switch this eLearn to Articulate.

Hi There,

Greetings from Adobe.

In Captivate, On click of a button you can provide the URL of the file that you would like to open. Under button properties > Action > On Success > Open URL or File. You can also set it to open in a current, new, parent or top window.

Regards,

Ajit

Yes, I am able to do that.  But I'm looking for a way to actually embed the documents within the eLearn so a learner can click a button and decide what to download.

PLEASE, let me know if this is possible.  Maybe there's a widget or something to embed this directly into the window.

Thanks!

Here's a screen shot of Articulate's function:

Sorry, but Captivate doesn't offer any feature similar to that. All you can do is link from Text, a Click Box, a Smart Shape or a Button to an existing document. And you have to ensure the document you are linking to exists in the same folder location as the published Captivate.

Cheers... Rick
