Question

I can't get my Dynamic PDF Widget to work in Captivate 7

Hello all,

I've been trying to get my Dynamic PDF to work in my Captivate 7 project. I have created a button on the final slide where I want the user to open the PDF, I have named it correctly to correspond with the Dynamic PDF. I have also updated everything within the editor to appear how I would like it to appear. I have also tried viewing it in various formats such as Published, In a Browser etc. and nothing appears to work for me.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Peter

Hi there

Is this a third party widget you purchased or downloaded? If so, perhaps you need to contact the widget developer for more information.

Not sure I've ever heard of a "dynamic PDF" widget.

Cheers... Rick

Hey Rick,

I downloaded the widget from "CaptivateDev"...and it wasn't cheap either!

Did you contact Jim, because that is an amazing widget, more than worthwhile its cost! Try to explain what you want to achieve with that widget, please, because it has a lot of functionality, and Jim will certainly help you out.

Hi Peter,

Please make sure that the pdf is also saved in the same published folder .

Also test the behavior in other browsers as well like Chrome and Firefox .

If you still face this issue then try to add the published output in trusted location of Flash.

I tried both and it still doesn't appear to be working...I was hoping that this would be an easy process
