ADOBE CAPTIVATE 3 365 User Guide Adobe Captivate and RoboHelp You can add Adobe Captivate projects to RoboHelp HTML online help systems. This enables you to truly show and tell users important information. Adding an Adobe Captivate project to a RoboHelp project is simple. You create the Adobe Captivate project, add the project to your RoboHelp project, and select options for how you want to display the project. To add an Adobe Captivate project to a RoboHelp HTML online help system: 1 Create an Adobe Captivate project. 2 Publish the project as a Flash SWF file. Select the Export HTML option during the export process and note the folder location where the SWF file will be stored. 3 In RoboHelp, open the Help project to which you want to add the Adobe Captivate project. 4 In the Project Manager, double-click the Project files folder. 5 From the File menu, select Import > HTML file. 6 Navigate to the HTML file of your Adobe Captivate project (created in step 2 earlier) and select it. 7 Click Open. The HTML file and the Flash file (SWF) are imported into your RoboHelp project. The SWF file is added to the Project Files folder, and a new topic (with the title of the project) is created. Note: The HTML file (with the title of the project) that is added to your RoboHelp project is important. If you delete this topic, the related SWF file is also deleted from the project. You can, however, leave the topic in your Help project as a "hidden" topic (no links, not included in table of contents or index, etc.). Determining how the Adobe Captivate project appears After the Flash file (SWF) is added to your RoboHelp project, you must determine how the project appears. You can choose from several options. All of the options are easy to set up, but one may work better than another, depending upon your specific project and RoboHelp project. You can place an Adobe Captivate project directly into a RoboHelp topic so when the topic appears, the project automatically appears and begins playing. To display the project within an existing topic: 1 In RoboHelp, open the topic you want to use to start the project. 2 Click on a location in the topic. From the Insert menu, select Adobe Captivate Demo.
