As
a host or presenter, you can share documents that have been uploaded
to the Content library, or share documents directly from your computer.
Sharing documents from the Content library has the following advantages
over sharing your screen:
-
Better and higher fidelity
viewing experience for participants.
-
Lower bandwidth requirement for presenters and participants.
-
More navigation options with the Adobe Presenter sidebar.
-
Preloading and organizing documents in the meeting room.
-
Easier presentation when multiple presenters are involved.
If
you turn off sharing, change the content in a Share pod, or close
the Share pod, the document is still part of the meeting room and
can be displayed again. To edit a shared document, you must edit
the source document and reload it into the meeting.
PDFs in Adobe Connect
In the Content library, PDFs are stored
as PDF files. When shared in a meeting room, PDFs are converted
to SWF files to enable synchronized navigation and white board capabilities.
From
the Share pod, hosts and presenters can download PDFs. Participants
can download PDFs if hosts and presenters click the Sync button
to turn off display synchronization.
PDF Portfolios and PDF
files that are password protected cannot be converted into SWF files,
preventing them from being shared in Connect. In addition, certain
PDF features are not supported when sharing PDFs in Connect. In
some cases objects within the PDF are either dropped, or only a
simple image preview is displayed.
The following objects
are dropped in Connect:
The
following objects retain a simple image preview (an image representing
the object) in Connect:
Share documents
As a host or presenter, you can share the
following file types from the Content library or your computer:
PPT, PPTX, Adobe PDF, SWF, FLV, JPEG, and MP3 . The Content library
is available in Adobe Connect Central.
Note:
You create presentations
from PowerPoint presentations using Adobe Presenter. Adobe Connect
does not support progressive-scan JPEG files.

Central. An administrator can move the document to the Shared Content
folder to make the document available for other meetings.

Turn off display synchronization for documents
By
default, Adobe Connect synchronizes display of documents so that
attendees see the frame that the presenter sees. A host or presenter
can use the Sync button to turn off synchronization so that attendees
can move through presentations or PDF documents at their own pace.
Note:
The
Sync button appears only when you have multiframe content loaded
in the Share pod.
With content loaded in the Share pod, click the
Sync button in the lower-right corner to disable synchronization.
Controls for presentation playback appear at the bottom of the Share
pod.
