Hello,

I have inserted a pdf on captivate by dragging it. It's playing well on browser. But when I created a scorm package and inserted into a lms to view it, the pdf part is showing black in colour(Means no pdf).

I shall be highly obliged for your kind help. 

Thank you.

You cannot embed a pdf directly in a cptx project, as is possible for images, audio, animations. I have seen rather complicated workarounds to make it possible but you cannot do it out of the package.

Use a button to trigger the command 'Open URL or file' to open the pdf (maybe in a different tab). Depending on the version you are using, the pdf may be included automatically in the callees subfolder within the published folder, or you will be asked to add it to that folder.

Another approach is to make the pdf accessible and published on a webserver and add it as webobject.
