I’ve been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005, specializing in the creation of interactive and engaging learning experiences. In 2015, I launched my own eLearning design business and began producing Adobe Captivate video tutorials on my YouTube channel, CaptivateTeacher, to support clients and fellow developers. This content not only helped me grow my business globally—it also introduced me to a wider community of aspiring Captivate users who now turn to me for training and mentorship. Today, I provide both online and onsite Adobe Captivate training, empowering others to build effective eLearning with confidence. I’m proud to be part of the Adobe eLearning Community, sharing knowledge, collaborating with other developers, and contributing to the growth of this platform.

Hey Paul, when did Adobe change the publish protocol and package the PDF file with the published file? Does this work for an URL link to a file? For forced download as well?

I’m not sure if it was 2017 or 2019. I noticed that I no longer had to package the PDF after publishing sometime with 2019 release but it may have come out earlier. It only puts the PDF in the library if it’s a local file. I don’t believe it downloads PDFs from the web.

I have several cases where i add additional files, like documents or templates that the student can download. I point to local files, but I used to have to change the local file url to be just the name of the document and I had to package it after I published my file. I am going to test this now!

Yup, that’s what I used to do as well. Captivate 2019 will do this for you now.
