How to add Flash Player-compatible content to PDFs using Acrobat 9
Acrobat users have had the ability to add multimedia content to PDF documents for a while now. The issue in the past, however, was that viewers needed to have a third-party player software application installed on their machines to view the content. This made authoring decisions a challenge.
With Acrobat 9 and Adobe Reader 9, this is no longer a concern: Flash Player-compatible content -- video, applications, and audio -- now plays back natively without the need for external software. Join us for the PDF and Flash eSeminar and learn how you can add Flash Player-compatible content to your PDF documents using Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
This free 1-hr eSeminar will cover:
- Incorporating Flash Player-compatible content to make rich, engaging PDF documents
- Adding Flash Player-compatible video to PDF documents, including FLV and H.264-encoded video
- Converting other video formats to embedded Flash-compatible video in Acrobat 9
- Adding video to Microsoft Office documents
- Differences between Acrobat 9 Pro and Pro Extended for Flash content in PDF files

PDF and Flash Tutorials
Since the time that scripting was added to Acrobat and PDF, security has been an issue of concern. With the growing ubiquity of the Internet, things are getting worse all the time.† Spam is all-pervasive and it seems that every day hackers come up with new ways to invade our computers. Fortunately, Acrobat JavaScript has always been a sandboxed environment where local file system access is heavily controlled, and certain types of potentially dangerous operations are restricted to a reasonably safe context.
