I have a number of iPDF that need to be uploaded as interactive PDF, not slide converted. Do you have a way that can make it work? It is not a SCORM file but it is interactive. Any advice?

Are you uploading them in training material for users to download and fill out?

If your students have relatively recent versions of Firefox, Chrome, or Edge, I would probably just put the PDF in an IFRAME using the HTML training material. You’ll need to use the <> code view button to enter this.  The code is like this:

<iframe src="https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/42/42_web.pdf" width="100%" height="90%"></iframe>

Adjust the height and width as needed.

This would use the browser’s built in reader.  If the PDF does not display correctly, you may need to open the PDF in a new window/tab so that it opens in Acrobat Reader.  In that case you could input something like this in the code view:

<a href="https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/42/42_web.pdf" target="_blank">Open this presentation in a new browser tab/window</a>
