Exporting a pdf with audio

Hi there,
I am making a pdf that I'm putting online for download. It needs to contain embedded audio files, OR links to the audio files.
I have tried using hyperlinks, but the problem here is that my personal file path gets imbedded. The hyperlinks obviously cannot point to the audio files on my computer alone, but they do need to point to the user's computer. I can not point the hperlinks to the audio files on the web, because they will not be on line. - The audio will be downloaded along with the pdf.
I would appreciate some advice if someone could help.
Thanks!
-Matt

Embed it. Export with Acrobat 6 or higher compatibility.

When exporting to PDF all audio is lost

I am trying to export a Keynote presentation to PDF. But, when I do so the audio is not exported, the pages with audio are without audio. Exporting to Quicktime is fine, the audio exports, but not with PDF. I know there is a way to do it, because I have seen pdf's with audio that were created by exporting from Keynote, but I do not know how to do it. Can anyone explain?
Thank you

PDFs can contain media files, but I don't think this is, or can be, done using KN's "export to PDF" alone. According to this article (<http://www.ehow.com/how5846274insert-sound-file-pdf-document.html>) you can do it only with the paid version of Acrobat, and it sounds as if you have to add the media file, as an extra step, to a PDF you've already made. (Found this by googling: PDF "insert audio")

How can I export a video with audio from premiere cs 5.5 to a DVD

how can I export a video with audio from premiere cs 5.5 to a DVD

You don't... at least not directly... you export MPEG2-DVD and then use the TWO files (audio and video) in Encore
CS5-thru-CC PPro/Encore tutorial list http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1448923 may help

Exporting to mpeg2 with audio

Trying to export to MPEG2 with audio from fcp studio to broadcast over cable, anyone know how to do this.

So, you need a muxed file? You may need to buy Sorenson Squeeze and check the station for the exact settings or the web for settings files. (i.e. I found a Fast Channel setting online somewhere)

Exporting to pdf with new numbers app

recently i upgraded from numbers 09 to numbers 3.0. i have a worksheet with 2 pages. with numbers 09 when i export to pdf it export as pdf with 2 pages works fine. but in numbers 3.0 when i wxport the same worksheet it combines both pages in one pdf page so i can't print it on 2 pages. any solution ?

Vikas
The solution is to Print to PDF rather than Export to PDF.
You will see that there are two pages in the Print dialog preview, and when you choose PDF, Open in Preview, you will see that the PDF version of the file has two pages.

Problem while exporting to PDF with japanese character in Crystal Report X1

Hi,
I am using Crystal report X1 with classic ASP on a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server, SP 2. In my application, I have to export the report into PDF, CSV, DOC formats. I am have Japanese strings in the report. While exporting to PDF, empty boxes has displayed in the place of Japanese string and in CSV file, question mark has been displayed instead of Japanese string. But the Doc file is exported correctly. I have not installed any language support software either in server or in client machine. I have used MS Gothic and Arial Unicode MS fonts for the text-objects which has Japanese strings.
Please give me a solution so that I will get PDF file with Japanese strings instead of empty box or question mark.
Do I need to install any language support pack software?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manju

Hi Don,
Thank You for your reply. I have resolved the issue of exporting to pdf from crystal report X1 having Japanese data after installing the language pack.
But when I am exporting to CSV or TXT, i am getting ??? instead of Japanese characters. I have tried "export" through crystal report designer and got ??? instead of Japanese.
The Crystal report version I am using is Crystal report X1 11.0.0.1282
Crystal Report Desinger is installed in Windows Xp machine
Font set for Text object is Arial Unicode MS, MS PMincho, MS PGothic
Does the Crystal report X1 11.0.0.1282 has the UTF-8 support for CVS / txt
Please provide me a solution
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Manju

Pdf with audio files embedded - Acrobat Pro 8 vs Acrobat Reader XI - suggestions?

Hi, I have a problem with a pdf (containing embedded audio files) created with Acrobat Pro 8.
So, two questions for you.
1) When I open it with Acrobat Reader XI, the audio files won't be reproduced.
Windows 7 and 8 tell me that there is a codec problem.
Finding the right codec seems to be very hard (looking on the previous threads in this forum I found some links to websites offering codec packs, but when you download them it seem they start offering many other things to download, and this stresses a lot).
Any other suggestions?
2) The other question is kind of reverse of the first one: if I create a pdf with Acrobat XI, will an Acrobat Reader 8 or 9 be able to open it and listend to the audio files???
Thank you,
aliB

Dear Pat,
I try to write it again.
Unfortunately installing Flash doesn't solve the problem on Windows 7 and 8 (on the XP it works).
Kind regards

Cannot export to PDF with grayscale PDF in layout

IDCS5.5, MacPro, OSX 10.7.4
I am working on a grayscale teacher’s guide that accompanies a CMYK schoolbook. The introduction pages contain miniature pages of the workbook (formatted as grayscale PDF), but InDesign refuses to output those pages as PDF ("Impossible d’exporter le fichier PDF"), or when it does produce a PDF (when exporting page by page), Acrobat warns of a possible problem and stuff is missing on the resulting page, not necessarily from the grayscale minipages.
I have tried grayscale PDFs created from the original CMYK PDFs in Acrobat Pro X, grayscale PDFs exported from the original CMYK file in InDesign CS6, PDFs reduced to 20% in InDesign, PDFs reduced to 20% with a third-party application and imported in ID at 100%, and all sort of variations on the export values. The problem is also present in InDesign CS4 (after exporting the file as IDML) and in CS6.
The thing is, there is no problem at all if I use the CMYK PDF version of the minipages (I then turned the resulting PDF into grayscale with Acrobat Pro X). But the printer expects to see only grayscale images in a grayscale job, not color... and a Photoshop version of those minipages is not acceptable.
Has anybody encountered that problem? Can you reproduce it, i.e. can you export to PDF if you use any type of grayscale PDFs in your layout?

FOUND IT! Inspired by Rob solution, I was able to export my InDesign CS5.5 document containing some grayscale PDFs to PDF/X-3:2002 (and PDF/X-1a:2001), with or without the standard, but without converting to destination. For some reason, it does not work with PDF/X-4:2008, nor with any of the other presets.

Can't export a PDF with XFA form

Cannot convert/export a PDF document containing an SFA form - can this program not do this?

Hi Morin27,
XFA forms are not regular PDF's but XML files in a PDF shell.
To create a word file from those files, you first have to flatten the XFA forms by printing as PDF with the Adobe PDF Printer.
Then you can save using ExportPDF the created static PDF as Word document.

Problem exporting a PDF with Helvetica Neue

I am using InDesign CS6 on Mac OSX 10.8.4. I have a PDF with Helvetica Neue in it. When I export this file to a PDF my client claims that the text is jumbled and appears to be widely spaced/leaded. I've read it's an issue with Helvetica Neue as a system font, and found the following solution, but wondered if there was a simpler answer that does not involve messing with my system fonts.

I am sorry this is the simplest way if you need to use exactly that font.

Export a PDF with Acrobat Layers

How do you do this via scripting? In the normal InDesign PDF export UI, this is referred to as "Create Acrobat Layers" and is only enabled for Acrobat version 6+

That property doesn't seem to do it. Here's the code I'm trying without success:
function ExportAsPDF(inDocumentPath, inSaveDocumentPath)
     try
        app.open(File(inDocumentPath));
        currentDocument = app.documents[0];
          var preset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("[High Quality Print]").duplicate();
          with(preset)
               exportLayers = true;
               subsetFontsBelow = 0;
            pdfColorSpace = PDFColorSpace.CMYK;
            pdfDestinationProfile = PDFProfileSelector.USE_DOCUMENT;
        currentDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, File(inSaveDocumentPath), preset);
     catch(thisError)
          throw thisError;
As I said before, I'm trying to get a PDF with layers.

Export a PDF with Imposition and wraparound

Hi everybody,
I'm a relative newbie here, and I apologize for that. I'm looking for some help in CS5 with imposition.
Specifically:
I created a 28 page booklet, 8.5x11, for a client that has 28 pages. Same booklet as last year. However, this year, the client - to save money - wants to print on tabloid paper. So an 8.5x11 format needs to convert to 17x11.
The printer they have chosen wants the inDesign document as a PDF.
Two unique problems: one, how do I export to PDF a document that allows for imposition. And two, the front and back cover are wraparound (a single image).
Or, more concisely, how do I format this correctly? And can it be done in a single file? Or would a second file be required to handle the wraparound of 1 and 28?

I would have thought that too, but that's not what I'm hearing from the printer.
You are correct: I have been told by the printer that 14 11x17 sheets, printed double-sided, and golden in half, will save the client significant money. Hence the reason the client made the change. So getting my imposition right kinda got me scratching my head. But let me revisit that with them.
The cover issue I still need to be clear on: how pages 1 and 28 can have a wraparound image , and still assimilate into a layout. How would you handle that in your print house? Right now I moved 28 to precede 1, built the layout, and then moved that half image back down in the layout. Is that correct?
Thanks so much for your insight.

Export to PDF with Working Hyperlink

Post Author: JaeLevel3
CA Forum: Exporting
I saw a few of these questions, and left unanswered. I hope answering this question can help several people.
It appears when the hyperlink starts with http, exporting Crystal to PDF, Acrobat recognizes the link. However, when the hyperlink is to a file on a drive, exporting to PDF, the link is not recognized. Is there a way to have the hyperlink to a file on a drive remain active when exported to PDF?

One of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Desktop Scheduling tools listed at: http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides a solution for this. It allows you to automate the process of exporting to pdf and then detecting file references in the pdf text and turning them to hyperlinks or detecting invisible formulas and turning them into file hyperlinks.

Export to PDF with MetaData

You mean rendered on top of the image? That info is already embedded inside the image as metadata. To render metadata on top of your image, you can use the slideshow module, add a text overlay with your custom metadata and export to jpegs. You can do similar things inside the Print module but you cannot control the placement of the text.
