Rich Media PDF's

Its not as difficult as it looks.

First, buy a copy of InDesignCS so you can set up the pages (of course, you will also need Photoshop and Illustrator or FreeHand- basically the same goods you need to do print work).

Second, get a reasonably good video editing program (iMovie will do for starters).

Third, get Acrobat 6 Professional to add all the final interactive touches that you can't do with InDesign.

Read all the manuals that come with these programs- all the information you need is in there.

I have all of that.

Let me rephrase. How do you embed video into a PDF.

[Eric_Otto@adobeforums.com]

Let me restate: Read the manuals. Adding video clips is covered in the InDesign and AcrobatPro help files.

Eric is correct .. read-up on this stuff ... but we'll give you this one
.... go to the MOVIE TOOL and the select either
a) Acrobat 6 (embeds the move into the PDF)
b) Acrobat 5 (points to an external link)

The rest is up to you ...........

And if you want a book that does a pretty good description, pick up Sandee Cohen's InDesign CS Visual Quickstart Guide. Her chapter on Interactive PDF is very good. The VQG's aren't very expensive.
