    The author proves that under some condition, any symplectic manifold \((W,\omega)\) with boundary embeds into a closed symplectic manifold. The condition is the existence of a contact plane field \(\xi\) on \(\partial W\) which is weakly compatible with \(\omega\). The paper also simplifies several previously known results about symplectic fibrations, provides a tool for applications of Seiberg-Witten and Ozsváth-Szabo homology, and summarizes the results about different types of symplectic fillings.
