Adobe Presenter overview
About Adobe Presenter
Adobe® Presenter is a software tool for creating e-learning content and high-quality multimedia presentations
rapidly. Presenter uses Microsoft PowerPoint, a popular application that is part of the Microsoft Office suite, as a
base. Finished presentations are in Flash® format (SWF file). Content created with Presenter is SCORM
1.2 and
SCORM 2004 certified and AICC compliant.
After you install Presenter, you access the application from within PowerPoint. All Presenter authoring functions
in PowerPoint can be reached using the Adobe Presenter menu.
Presenter complements Acrobat® Connect™ Pro Server. With Presenter, you can create content that includes inter-
active quizzing and surveys, audio, and a customizable viewer. Presenter sends the PPT or PPTX (PowerPoint) and
PPCX file, as well as presentation data and assets, to Connect Pro Server.
Note:
Office 2007 supports PPTX.
You can add straightforward or sophisticated quizzes to presentations. Presenter supports six different types of
questions that can either be graded or used as surveys. Add branching to quizzes to guide users through different
paths in the presentation based on their answers.
Presenter provides a simple interface for using a microphone to add audio narration to your presentation. In
addition, you can easily synchronize your PowerPoint animations with your audio narration.
The intuitive Presenter interface and its complete integration with PowerPoint eliminates the need for additional
training or knowledge of Flash programming. In minutes, you can transform static PowerPoint files into dynamic
web experiences by adding audio, video, multimedia, interactive quizzes and surveys, and extensive branding.
When you have created your content, simply publish it to Connect Pro Server. (You can also publish to your
computer to test a presentation.)
After you have installed Presenter, you access the program from within PowerPoint. When you open PowerPoint,
a new menu named Adobe Presenter appears in the menu bar.
