The First Steps hands-on tutorial guides you through the basic steps to integrate PDF documents in an Authorware piece using INM Impressario. The tutorial has 3 units and takes about 20 minutes to complete.
Just follow the instructions in the tutorial document to edit the partially completed Authorware pieces provided. Your finished pieces will display, print and navigate through PDF documents. You can even reuse the sample movies provided to create your own PDF-enabled projects.
Note: INM Impressario and the Impressario Knowledge Objects are required to complete the tutorial.
If you know Flash, you can edit and customize the source files for the automatic Impressario toolbars -- change the graphics, create different rollover effects, etc.
Import your final SWF file into the Impressario Toolbars castlib, located in the KOs/Impressario/ folder of Authorware, for easy access through Authorware's Knowledge Objects inspector.
