Chapter 13: Multimedia and 3D models
The possibilities for Adobe PDFs extend to the richness of multimedia communication. PDFs can include video clips,
digital audio, interactive content, and 3D models that readers can move, turn, zoom in on, and examine part by part.
Multimedia in PDFs
Play multimedia
You can play the following types of multimedia in PDFs created using Adobe Acrobat® or Adobe Reader® X:
Interactive multimedia Includes SWF files
Video Includes MOV, M4V, 3GP, and 3G2 video files that use H.264 compression. It also includes FLV, F4V, MP3,
and MP4 files. You must have H.264 codecs installed on your computer to play files that use H.264 compression.
Audio Includes audio files, such as MP3 and MP4
You can play these files on a page or activate them from a link, bookmark, form field, or page action. Each multimedia
file includes a play area from which the media can be activated. The play area typically appears on the PDF page as an
image or a rectangle, but can also be invisible.
Acrobat and Reader also let you play legacy multimedia files created using an earlier version of Acrobat. These include
QuickTime, MPEG, ASF, RAM, and Windows® Media files. However, Acrobat and Reader X do not provide a way to
create legacy multimedia files.
To help protect your computer from viruses, Acrobat asks you if you want to play multimedia files from unverified
sources. You can change this default behavior in the Multimedia Trust preferences.
Using the Hand tool or the Select tool, click the play area of the video or sound file. When the pointer is positioned
over the play area, it changes to the play mode icon
.

Multimedia preferences
Two types of PDF files require you to set multimedia preferences:
PDF files created in Acrobat 8 and earlier
PDF files created in Acrobat X in which the multimedia files were added by using the legacy placement method
These files require you to identify an additional media player with which to run the multimedia.
Open the Preferences dialog box, and then select Multimedia (Legacy) from the left side of the dialog box.
Player Options Choose the format in which you want to run legacy media content: QuickTime, Flash, Windows
Media, or Windows built-in player.
Accessibility Options Specify if you want special features (if available) to appear when media plays, such as subtitles
and dubbed audio. Specify the preferred language for the media, in case multiple languages are available.
