How to use an SWF and XML in PDF?

[Sreekanth_S]

Hi

I am publishing a PDF from Adobe RoboHelp (version 10, part of TCS 4). I have inserted some Flash-based SWF files whose text content is called from an XML file. Now, when I publish the RoboHelp project as an HTML output, and place the XML file in the published folder, I get the text content of SWF right.

Any idea how I can get the SWF files and their XML content in the PDF?

Rich media (including SWF) in a PDF file can only access local files which are in the annotation's "resources" collection. That behaves as if it's the same disk folder as the SWF would be executing in. Add your XML file using Acrobat Pro by right-clicking the SWF, choosing Properties>Resources.

Thanks for your quick reply Dave.

But I am not getting the SWF in my printed PDF. Is there some other setting I need to get that in first place?

I think some searching will locate this issue and you have to manually add it back into Word or do as Dave says and add it in Acrobat. If you cannot find it in this forum, it is likely in the RoboHelp HTML forum.
