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, ensure that the links work
properly by performing the steps described in this section. 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).
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.
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.
To edit the attachment contents, open the file in the application in which it was created. After editing, open Adobe Presenter, delete the old
attachment, and then add the updated attachment.
1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT or PPTX file).
2. Click Adobe Presenter, and in the Tools group, click Settings.
3. In the Presentation menu, click Attachments.
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.
Delete a presentation attachment
1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT or PPTX file).
2. Click Adobe Presenter, and in the Tools group, click Settings.
3. In the Presentation menu, click Attachments.
4. Select an attachment and click Delete.
5. Click OK.
If a folder containing attachments is inadvertently deleted, the next time the presentation (PPT or PPTX) file is opened and saved, a dialog
box appears for each deleted attachment stating that the attachment is missing. The dialog box contains three options: Browse to the
attachment using Windows Explorer, Delete the attachment from the presentation, and Ignore. If Ignore is selected, the dialog box does not
appear again unless the presentation is closed, reopened, and then Save is selected.
Add animation, image, and Flash (SWF) files
You can incorporate animations and SWF files into your Adobe Presenter presentations.
If you already have PowerPoint animations, such as flying or dissolving text, Adobe Presenter converts them seamlessly and displays them in the
final presentation exactly as they appear in PowerPoint.
For Adobe Presenter to gain control of animations, they must be set to OnClick. Animations located on the Slide Master cannot be
controlled; remove the animations from the Slide Master and place them on individual slides.
Insert character images and scenes
Adobe Presenter provides ready-to-use character images such as business executives and medical practitioner that help you make your
presentations engaging.
You can also quickly insert scenes such as office buildings and home interiors.
1. Open the presentation in PowerPoint.
2. Click the slide on which you want to insert character images or scenes.
3. Click Adobe Presenter, and in the Insert group, click Character or Scene.
4. In the dialog box that appears, choose one of the categories on the left, and then click the required image on the right.
