Question

Open PDFs from a CD

I need to create a cd with a captivate movie that opens several PDF files also on the CD. I can't get it to work and have found some other posts but they are quite old. I have both Cap 3 and Cap 4 available to create with. Can this be done?

    Hi there

    Normally you just use a Button or Click Box and program it to open the PDF. But it can be problematic on CD. Sometimes things don't work as one might expect. Sometimes you have to resort to MenuBuilder (with Captivate 3) to do the heavy lifting of linking. Then you publish that as a SWF and drop it onto a Captivate slide to make things work mo betta for CD.

    Cheers... Rick
