Documents\My Adobe Presentations\PresentationName\data\resources\sample.swf, copy the file to the resources folder (located by default at C:\My Documents\My Adobe Presentations\[presentation name]\data\resources). Note the path specified in the message and close the presentation in your web browser.
12 Open Windows Explorer. Navigate to the current location of the file. 13 Right-click the file and select Copy. 14 Navigate to the location specified in the error message (for example, an address like the example in step 10). 15 Right-click the resources folder and select Paste. 16 Follow steps 68 to preview the presentation and test the link again. Creating links to files
If you are creating links from a presentation to a file and the link path is relative to the location of the presentation, you may need to take a few steps to ensure that the links work properly. This issue occurs because of the method PowerPoint uses to manage relative links. (PowerPoint does, however, resolve all links to files in the same drive as the PPT or PPTX file.)
1 In Windows Explorer, locate the folder containing the presentation PPT or PPTX file (for example, C:\Folder A\test.ppt). 2 Create a subfolder under the folder containing the presentation PPT or PPTX file (for example, C:\Folder A\Links). 3 Copy all files that will be linked to from within the presentation to the new subfolder. 4 Create the links in the presentation to the files. 5 Publish the presentation. Note the location of the published content folder (for example C:\Preso).

ADOBE PRESENTER 7 18

6 Copy the subfolder created in step 2 containing the links to the Date\Resources subfolder of the published content folder from step 5. For example, copy the links folder from C:\Folder A\Links to C:\Preso\Data\Resources\Links.
Note: You can use attachments instead of links. By using attachments, the files are automatically included with the published content.
Change the name, type, or location of a presentation attachment
After adding an attachment to a presentation, you can edit information about the attachment. Note: To edit the attachment contents, open the file in the application in which it was created. After editing, open Presenter, delete the old attachment, and then add the updated attachment.
1 In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT or PPTX file). 2 Select Adobe Presenter > Presentation Settings. (PowerPoint 2007 users select Adobe Presenter > Settings.) 3 Select the Attachments tab. 4 Select an attachment and click Edit or double-click an attachment. 5 Change the name, type (file or link), or location and click OK. 6 Click OK.

This option prevents a second SWF file from beginning to play before a first SWF file is finished.
Note: To publish a presentation without including any audio files, deselect Publish Audio.

7 Click OK.

Audio in presentations
Using audio in presentations
Adobe Presenter lets you add narration, music, step-by-step instructions, or almost any sound to your projects. You can use audio to provide instructions or to emphasize key points in the presentation. In general, sound can be as individual and flexible as any other presentation component. You can use audio in Presenter presentations in a variety of ways. For example, Presenter can help you with the following tasks:

Setting up audio equipment
When you have acquired the necessary audio recording equipment, you must set it up properly. If you are just using a microphone, plug the microphone into the computer and start recording. Alternatively, you can plug the microphone into a mixer or stand-alone preamplifier, and then plug the output of that device into your computer sound cards line in. Plug the headphones into your computer. Then, set the volume on the mixer or preamplifier. Begin speaking to test the volume levels, and carefully raise the volume until it shows just under zero. (Using a preamplifier and line-in socket is optional.)
Setting sound card options
You can open the software application that controls the sound card. (In most Windows operating systems, you can find sound settings by clicking Start in the lower-left corner and selecting Settings > Control Panel > Sounds.) When you select the recording source (line in), you can adjust the volume to 100%. If you are using a mixer or stand-alone preamplifier, the actual recording level can be controlled from there.
Changing audio recording settings
After starting your audio recording software, you can change the settings as necessary. Mixers and preamplifiers dont have sound-level controls, so you rely on the meters when recording. While recording, ensure that you dont exceed zero on the meters, or the sound will be distorted.

Placing the microphone

Positioning your microphone correctly can make a big difference in the finished audio file. First, get as close as possible to the microphone (within 46 inches) so that you avoid recording any other nearby sounds. Dont speak down to the microphone; instead, position it above your nose and pointed down at your mouth. Finally, position the microphone slightly to the side of your mouth, to help soften the sound of the letters s and p.

ADOBE PRESENTER 7 22

Improving microphone techniques
Have a glass of water nearby so you can avoid dry mouth. Before recording, turn away from the microphone, take a deep breath, exhale, take another deep breath, open your mouth, turn back toward the microphone, and start speaking. This can eliminate breathing and lip-smacking sounds frequently recorded at the beginning of audio tracks. Speak slowly and carefully. You may feel that you are speaking artificially slowly, but you can adjust the speed later by using your audio recording software. Finally, keep in mind that you dont have to get everything right the first time. You can listen and evaluate each recording and rerecord, if necessary.

ADOBE PRESENTER 7 33

8 Select Slide Video or Sidebar Video. 9 (Optional) Select Preview to see a small version of the video file directly in the Import Video dialog box.
Note: If you are importing a video that requires QuickTime for preview, using the Preview option might cause instability. (File types that use QuickTime for preview are MP4, DV, DVI, MOV, 3GP, 3GPP, 3GP2, 3GPP2, M4V, and F4V.)
10 Click Open. 11 (Optional) To see the video on the slide, publish and view the presentation.

Importing H.264 video

H.264 is a video compression standard created to provide good video quality at a lower bit rate than other standards. You can import H.264 video into Presenter. H.264 video requires Flash Player version 9.0.115.0. When the video is played back, Presenter checks for Flash Player version. If the installed Flash Player is older than version 9, an error message appears and the video does not play. Note: Some H.264 encoded video files may not be recognized by Adobe Presenter and are re-encoded to On2 VP6 codec to ensure proper playback in Flash Player.

Record video

You can record video files from within Presenter if you have a video camera or other video capturing device connected to your computer. After recording, edit and adjust the file as necessary.
1 In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT or PPTX file). 2 Select the slide to which you want to add the video file. 3 Select Adobe Presenter > Capture Video. 4 From the As menu, select Slide Video to record video directly on the selected slide, or Sidebar Video to record video for the Presenter image area. 5 In Attach To, check that the correct slide is selected. If necessary, click the menu and select a different slide. 6 Under Settings, use the menus to select a device for recording, a quality level, and a display size. 7 Under Settings, click

to change preferences.

8 (Optional) If you want to record audio along with video, select Record Audio. Use the menus to select an audio recording device and an audio quality level. (Audio recorded from this option cannot be synchronized to slide animations.) Click to adjust the internal settings of the audio device. 9 When you are ready to begin recording video, click Record
. Video and audio (if you selected the audio

The Quiz Manager lets you organize all of the quizzes and questions in a presentation. A. A quiz B. Different types of questions
You can design six types of questions in Presenter: multiple-choice, short-answer, matching, true-or-false, rating scale (Likert), and fill-in-the-blank. You can grade the questions or use them in surveys to gather information.

ADOBE PRESENTER 7 36

Branching in quizzes
Branching is an important concept in creating effective e-learning materials and a useful way to customize presentations. In branched presentations (sometimes called contingency branching), the path that users take through a quiz or survey is determined by their responses to questions. For example, you can create branches based on correct answers, incorrect answers, or options selected by the user. Depending on these factors, you can continue the presentation, jump to a specific slide, open a URL, and so on. Through branching, you can specify what happens when users answer questions correctly or incorrectly. For example, you can associate one action (such as Go to the next slide) to a correct answer and another (such as Open URL) to an incorrect answer.

Reporting

Reporting lets you track student performance with any type of quiz. You can track the number of attempts, log correct and incorrect responses, and send pass/fail data to Connect Pro Server. You can also choose to provide students with feedback based on correct or incorrect responses.

Quiz boundaries

When you add a quiz to a presentation, an invisible quiz boundary is established. The quiz boundary is from the first question of a quiz to the last question of a quiz. For example, if you have 10 questions in a quiz, the boundary is from the first question slide to the tenth question slide. If there are any slides between question slides, those slides are considered within the quiz boundaries. If you have added an instruction slide, the instruction slide is also within the quiz boundary. When users view a presentation, they may move in and out of the quiz boundaries. For example, if a user moves back a slide from the first question, they have exited the quiz boundary. Also, if the user is on the final question slide and advances to view the scoring/results slide, they have exited the quiz boundary. Quiz boundaries are important to several features in Adobe Presenter. You can have Presenter display a message to users if they try to leave the quiz boundary without attempting all questions in the quiz. The Quiz pane appears in the presentation sidebar when a user is within a quiz boundary.

Create Graded Question The question is graded.

ADOBE PRESENTER 7 44

Create Survey Question The question is not graded.
7 In the Description text box, accept the default text for Description or enter a new description. The description appears on the questions slide in the presentation and should give users instructions about how to answer the question. (The Description field cannot be left blank.) 8 In the Score text box, type (or use the up and down arrows to specify) the number of points allocated to this question. Assigning points signifies the relative importance of a question. Assigning different point values to different questions lets you, for example, give introductory questions a lower value and advanced questions a higher value. You can enter any whole number value. If all questions have the same value (for example, 10 points), they are scored equally. 9 Select the Shuffle Answers In List option to randomly change the order in which possible answers appear. 10 In the Phrase text box, type the entire sentence or phrase that will contain a blank space to be completed by users
or will contain a blank space with a drop-down list of possible answers for users to select from.
11 Select the word or phrase that you intend to be the blank area and click Add Blank. You can have a maximum
of 8 blanks in a question. (When a blank is created, the blank is represented by <i> in the dialog box with the i representing the number assigned to the blank. Do not edit the text <i> manually. Use the Add blank and Delete blanks buttons to achieve the desired results.)
12 In the Blank Answer dialog box, specify how users will choose the correct answer:
The User Will Type in the Answer, Which Will Be Compared to the List Below Users type an answer in a text box. The User Will Select an Answer from the List Below Users select an answer from a drop-down list. (The drop-down list can display answers approximately 22 characters in length. Answers longer than 22 characters may not be fully visible in the published output.)
13 If necessary, click Add and enter more words or phrases that correctly fill in the blank space in the question.
Click Add and Delete as necessary to create a list of correct answers.
14 (Optional) Select The Answer Is Case-Sensitive to require that users type the correct combination of lowercase

This option is useful if you want to create a URL to view the presentation that can be remembered easily. If you leave this text box blank, Connect Pro automatically creates a generic, but unique, URL for the presentation. 3 (Optional) In the Summary text box, type a short description of the presentation. (The maximum length of the summary is 750 characters.) 4 Click Next.
The final step in the publishing process is to set permissions for who can view the presentation.

ADOBE PRESENTER 7 80

Set permissions
The final step in the publishing process is to set permissions for the presentation. This establishes who is able to view the presentation. You have several options available.
1 On the Set Permissions screen, select a permission setting.
The default permission setting is Same As Parent Folder. If you select this option, the presentation automatically inherits the same permission profile as the parent folder in which it is published. For example, if the parent folder has permission for public viewing, the presentation will also have permission for public viewing. To change the permission setting, click Customize. To create a public presentation, select Yes next to the Allow Public Viewing option. To create a private presentation with a custom permission profile that is different from that of its parent folder, make sure the Allow Public Viewing option is not selected. Then, create a list of users and groups with specific permission types. In the Available Users And Groups list on the left, select a group or individual and click Add. The new user or group now appears in the Current Permissions list on the right. Continue adding or removing users or groups as necessary.

The Presenter presentation appears in the Connect Pro meeting.
Add a zipped presentation from your computer to a Connect Pro meeting
If you have a Presenter presentation stored on your computer, you can add the presentation directly from that location into a Connect Pro meeting. This is a good method to use if you need to place a presentation into a Connect Pro meeting, but the presentation has not been published to the Content library. For example, you might have a presentation that you have not published because it is incomplete, but you want to show a preliminary version in a Connect Pro meeting. Note: Adobe recommends adding presentations to Connect Pro meetings from the Content library. Presentations uploaded directly from your computer to a Connect Pro meeting do not support some Presenter features. For example, if you share the presentation PowerPoint (PPT or PPTX) file, audio, video, attachments, presenter photos, presenter logos, and the Thumbnail pane are not displayed.
