[Xerte] pdf in xerte! But how?

[E.A. Draffan]

I am so sorry to ask this question but how does a screen reader user or
someone trying to use the text to speech access this file?  It is keyboard
accessible which is really good and the text can be enlarged but colours
cannot be changed.  I am just wondering whether the only way to get round
this is issue would be to provide an audio file of the content.  
 

Best wishes E.A.

Hi all,

following Frederic's request about embedding FlashPaper in Xerte, here's a
simple example:
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~ccztk/xerte/Xerte-FlashPaper.zip

The ZIP file contains both Flash 8 and Flash MX 2004 files to embed the
FlashPaper file.

Good to know that it's easy to embed a PDF doc in Xerte via FlashPaper, I
never had really thought about this ... ;-)


Cheers,

Thomas

FlashPaper might be an option. It can embed a pdf in a SWF file, so it
might work to display a pdf in Xerte. I haven't used it myself, but on
the product page it shows a pdf embedded in a web page via Flash:

There is a free trial you could play around with ...
