# Creating a PIF

Captivate includes support for creating a package interchange file (PIF). SCORM guidelines recommend, but do not require, the use of a PIF for transporting content packages between systems. A PIF contains the entire set of manifest and content files (Rdmovie.htm and RdMovie.swf) in a single ZIP file.

Note: For more information about the manifest file, see Creating a manifest file.

#### To create a PIF:

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. From the File menu, select Publish.

3. Select Flash (SWF).

4. In Movie Title, enter the desired name, without the file extension (SWF).

5. In the Folder text box, enter the full path for the folder in which to save the file or click Browse to locate the folder.

6. In Output Options, select Zip files and Export HTML. This packages the course into a PIF by creating a zip file containing the Flash (SWF) file and the .HTML file.

7. Click Publish.
