Can Presenter Publish for Mobile Devises?

Mar 15, 2011

We're exploring mobile delivery, and I'm curious if any of your products support this?

Hi Bethre,

You can publish your Presenter ‘09 presentations for viewing on mobile devices that support Flash Lite 3.  The installation of Presenter ‘09 includes a file called mobile-player.swf, which is required for viewing your presentation on Flash Lite 3 mobile devices.  Please review the following article for instructions:

For mobile devices that support Flash (Android devices), you only need to publish your content for Web.  The mobile-player.swf referenced above is not necessary for Flash-enabled devices.  Then upload the published content to a Web server, and view the content in your mobile browser as you would from a desktop or laptop computer.  Here are some examples of Articulate content running on Android devices:

Also, you may be able to use the following HTML5 player to view your Articulate content on non-Flash devices, such as the iPad.  Please note that this method was not developed by Articulate and is not supported by Articulate:

If your Articulate content does not include interactive elements (such as quizzes or user-initiated navigation), you can record your Articulate content as it plays, using a screencasting tool like Screenr (http://screenr.com), to capture a video of your Articulate content.  Screenr screencasts can be viewed on iPads and iPhones directly from the Screenr website.  There are also options to publish your Screenr screencasts to YouTube and to download MP4 versions of your screencasts, both of which also play on non-Flash devices like the iPad.
