pdf in callees folder?

[jessicap64741243]

Hi -

Our team is creating a responsive project that has buttons users will click to access PDFs. I found this article (Learning Developments: 5 Simple Steps to Attach a File in Adobe Captivate) that explains how to insert a PDF. I followed the article's instructions and it worked great. However, I'm a bit confused because Captivate gave the below alert

The alert says to put the pdfs in the "callees" folder. I tried this as well, and the buttons work fine.

my question: does it matter if I put the pdfs in the Callees folder or in the top level of the output?

Put them where Captivate tells you to, otherwise the links will not work.

How do I do that?  The callees folder seems to be blocked, probably because it is zipped?  If I have to do it before I zip it, how do I publish without zipping, do that, then zip for the LMS?  thanks!

A SCORM file is indeed zipped. You will have to unzip it, then put the pdf in the Callees folder, and zip again. LMS's only accept a zipped folder.

One little extra important tip:  When re-zipping a SCORM package, you must NOT simply select the outer folder that contains all the files and then zip it.  That won't work in the LMS.  You have to go inside that folder, select all of the files and folders there, and then create the zip.  This keeps the imsmanifest.xml file at the root level of the zip archive, right where the LMS will look for it when it tries to launch the course.
