web.
Multimedia and PDFs (Acrobat Pro DC)
Adding video, sound, and interactive content transforms PDFs into multidimensional communication tools that
increase interest and engagement in your documents.
All multimedia that are H.264 compliant can be played back in Adobe Reader 9 and later. (H.264, also known as MPEG-
4 part 10, is a video compression standard that provides high-quality video without substantially increasing file size.)
Video files of varying formats and filename extensions can be H.264 compliant.
Media files in other formats can be played back in earlier versions of Adobe Reader. However, users must install the
appropriate application (such as QuickTime or Windows Media Player) to play the multimedia.
Another way to add multimedia is by entering a URL that refers to a video file or streaming media. Three types of URLs
can be used: RTMP, HTTP, and HTTPS. On HTTP and HTTPS servers, H.264-compliant MOV and MP4 files are
supported.
Interactive content developed in Flash and produced as SWF files (.swf) can be added to PDFs to provide
complimentary tools for text. Examples of applications developed in Flash include an RSS Reader, calculator, and online
maps.
Add multimedia files to a PDF
Acrobat Pro DC supports mp3, mov, SWF files, and other files encoded in H.264 (with AAC audio). You can convert
other file types into one of the supported formats by using Adobe Media Encoder. You can also add mp3 audio files to
a PDF for playback on any platform.
Note: FLV and FV4 files are no longer supported in both Acrobat DC and PDFMaker. You cannot embed FLV and FV4
files using either Acrobat DC or PDFMaker. However, if a document has already FLV or FV4 files embedded (for example,
a PowerPoint presentation or a Word file), it will still be converted to PDFs.
1 Open the PDF.
2 Choose To o ls > Rich Media, and then select the Add Video , the Add Sound , or the Add SWF tool.
3 Drag or double-click to select the area on the page where you want the video or sound to appear. The Insert dialog
box opens.
If you double-click the page, Acrobat Pro DC places the upper-left corner of the video where you clicked. If you drag
an area on the page, the media is placed within the area. The play area of the video is the exact size of the video frame
(if Acrobat Pro DC is able to read the video clip dimensions).
