My client would like a copyright notice watermarked on the top
of an Articulate course where the learner's username <pulled from
our LMS> is displayed alongside the copyright notice.
What about adding the watermark to a slide master in PowerPoint in that top corner? Then it would appear on every slide in your published Articulate Presenter output.
Hi Gabe, I actually thought of that. Problem is, the client wants the watermark to "grab" the username of the learner from the LMS and display i as part of the watermark. He thinks it will deter them from sharing their login credentials with other users of the site in their organization.
Is there a way to insert the watermark on the slide master pulling in the username variable from Moodle?
Not too long ago I received a video email from my alma mater where my name was pulled from somewhere behind the scenes and used in two places within the video - once in a banner and once superimposed on the back of a football jersey. It was very cool and felt very personal even though I know some code genius had programmed it that way. If you figure out how to do it, please share it back with the community as there is a place I'd like to try a similar effect.
So, if any of you FSU peeps are out there can share how this was accomplished, we'd love to know. Go NOLES!
Yeah, you'd probably need to do some kind of custom Flash movie embedded on every slide that would pull in the user data from the LMS, but that wouldn't be possible using standard Articulate Presenter '09 functionality.

Could you maybe add a screenshot of what you want it to look like and where you want the watermark?
Hi Justin, here is a sample of a course with a watermark very similar to what my client would like to achieve:

Out of the box that's not really possible. Not really sure how you would pull that off.

Alex,
I believe I could work up a solution for you.
Shoot me an email: this.onEnterFrame(at)gmail.com and I will get you a quote.
Thanks,

Hi James,
Did you receive my email? I've not heard from you and I would really like that quote plus to learn about how we could pull this off.
Thanks,
Alex S.
Hi Alex,
I did not receive your email...
I will send you a direct message in the forum.
Thanks
