Presentation in page Element
Introduction
The Presentation in Page element allows you to embed an existing PADS4 presentation within another presentation. This feature is useful for displaying static information alongside dynamic content.
For example:
- Running an advertising slideshow at the top while a stock ticker scrolls at the bottom.
- Playing background music while another presentation runs.

Important Notes
- The Presentation in Page element runs inside the PADS4 Viewer but does not load data providers when editing in the PADS4 Designer. This ensures better performance while designing.
- Embedded presentations do not interfere with other page elements and can run simultaneously.
- Multiple embedded presentations can be used together for complex layouts.
