Adding movies to pdfs

Using Acrobat 8 Standard on a Windows XP Professional machine, is there any way to add movie files (mpeg, wmv, and/or others) to a pdf file? One forum advised going to the "advanced edit" toolbar and clicking on the "add movie" icon, but there is evidently no such icon in my version. I've looked everywhere for a simple answer. Is there one? Thanks.

I went through lots of circles with Adobe on this same question - short answer is you need Acrobat Pro. This is where you'll find the movie tool.
Interesting that I had to figure this out on my own - which meant I ended up buying both software packages. Customer support at Adobe didn't really have a clue what I was even talkig about. In fact, they gave me absolutely false information about their own product. That was weird.
The only issue I'm have with Acrobat at this point is that some embedded media (like .swf) won't play in the newer versions of Acrobat Reader for MAC.

  • I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
    Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
    Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
    If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
    Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

  • How can i see "recently added movies" on my apple tv?

    On my apple TV 1 st generation, i had the option to view the "recently added movies" on the apple TV menu. Now that i have the apple TV second generation, I DO NOT see this option but i can still see the option "genre, unwatched, by movie". Is there anyone who can help me out on this one? (By the way i had to move all my movies from one hard drive to another, maybe it's something to do with that?)

    I think I see now you mention playlists. You can create a smart playlist in iTunes and access it from the Apple TV, this would appear in the nested section under playlists though rather than in the three viewing options at the top of the movie listings. Before you can view playlists you need to enable playlists in the settings.

  • How do I move a pdf into the Photos app?

    I'm trying to upload a resume, but when I click browse, the only option available is to take a photo or upload an image from photos. Is there a way to move a pdf from pages or googledrive into photos? I do not have a laptop and I use my IPad for everything, so this is a little frustrating.

    No, the Photos app does not support pdf.
    What exactly do you mean "when I click browse"?  If you're on a website where you are prompted to browse to where your resume file is saved, you can't do that with iPad.  You'd need to save the pdf to a computer and upload it from there if the website requires this type of file submission method.

  • How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

    How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

    You can't save a PDF directly to the photos app, but if you can open the PDF in the mail app and get the entire PDF to appear on the screen, take a screenshot of it and that will be saved to the photos app camera roll.
    Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time briefly until you see the white flash on the screen and hear the shutter sound. That's how to take a screenshot.
    You should probably tap and hold down on the PDF in the mail app and select it to open in iBooks or another PDF app that you might have on the iPad.

  • Additional file size is added to my PDF when attaching it to an email in Outlook for Mac 2011

    I'm generating PDFs from Adobe Pro X. I have a 7.23MB PDF file that becomes a 9.8MB PDF file when attached to an email.
    I'm trying to keep the file size as small as I can - why is the extra size added to the PDF?
    I'm on an IMac, using Outlook for Mac 2011 and Adobe Acrobat Pro X/Indesign CC to generate the PDFs.  This isn't an isolated issue, it happens when I attached word documents as well and is extremely annoying!
    Looking forward to hearing from anyone out there (desperately!)

    One thing to check.

  • How to go from movie to pdfs and back to movie - gracefully

    Hi All,
    I followed Hunt's instructions for how to burn pdfs to folder and burn that folder and VIDEO_TS folder to disc and it worked great.
    Now I need to know how to gracefully move viewer from movie to pdf folder.  I inserted a Stop marker that takes viewer back to Main Menu at the appropriate time, but I don't see a way to add a Menu Item that closes the media player and/or takes them directly to the pdf folder stored on the disc.  I had to manually close the media player, open the Computer window, right click the DVD drive and select "Open" to see the pdf folder.
    And once viewer reviews the pdf, how do I lead him/her back to the movie menu to watch the rest of the movie?  When I clicked on VIDEO_TS, the folder opened to reveal the files within, but there was no indication of how to restart the movie.
    Thanks,
    Antoinette

    Hunt will have to answer this. I don't know that it's even possible to view PDFs on a DVD player, if that's what you're asking.

  • Adding Metadata to PDF Form

    Hi, I'm trying to add some metadata to a pdf. I have the follow script in the form initialize event:
    if (form1.desc.nodes.namedItem("metadata") == null) then
    var oNode=xfa.form.createNode("text", "metadata")
    form1.desc.nodes.append(oNode)
    endif
    I receive the error message:
    Argument mismatch in property or function argument
    I also tried this code:
    if (form1.desc.nodes.namedItem("metadata") == null) then
    var oNode=xfa.form.createNode("text", "metadata")
    oNode.value = "Test Data"
    form1.desc.nodes.append(oNode)
    endif
    Which gave me this error:
    accessor "oNode.value" is unknown
    It appears that the oNode object is not being created.
    Any suggesting how I can add Metadata to the PDF?

    Hi,
    This is the code I use to place metadata into the pdf file. If you open
    the resulting pdf file using Notepad, the metadata is visible as readable
    text in the file. I'm not sure the same approach can be used to add
    metadata as viewed under Document Properties. We are not using it that
    way. Maybe by changing the node name?
    if ((EMAIL_SUBJECT1.rawValue != "")&&(EMAIL_SUBJECT1.rawValue != null))
            var vDesc=xfa.template.data.desc;
            var oNode1=xfa.template.createNode("text", "EMAIL_SUBJECT1");
            vDesc.nodes.append(oNode1);
    vDesc.nodes.namedItem("EMAIL_SUBJECT1").value=EMAIL_SUBJECT1.rawValue;

    I'm looking for a way to add/inject values (keywords) into the form's
    meta-data by retrieving the info/values from user input.
    To test the above solution, I added the following script to the initialize

    1. Do I need a field on the page?
    2. What part of the above script affects the meta-data?

  • Embed audio and movie into pdf

    Since acrobat pro 9 is not available for mac I don't understand why Apple can't embed audio and movie into pdf. This is a really needed feature. Oh and also creating spreads in pages09 is needed as well. I want to use pages to create ebooks with audio and movie data etc come on Apple get it sorted .. You have an amazing program here and could clout Adobe on the head if you implemented these features.

  • Added movie (already converted to mp4 format) to iTunes library in my PC, syncronized to iPad2, now how to locate and play it in iPad2?

    Added movie (already converted to mp4 format) to iTunes library in my PC, syncronized to iPad2, now how to locate and play it in iPad2?

    On your computer's iTunes if you select that video and do 'get info' (control-I), then on the popup on the Options tab change it's 'Kind' to 'Movie' from 'Home Video'.
    To sync it to your iPad, connect the iPad and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then on the right-hand side use the Movies/Films tab to select and sync it to the iPad's Videos app.

    You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.

  • ITunes has stopped working when adding movies

    This issue began today, haven't had any trouble with this before. I have my movies on my iTunes, in there perfectly fine. Today I went to add more movies to my iTunes library. I use Windows, so I went to the 'Add Files to Library...' option in the top left, added a video. It didn't take any loading time, which seemed a bit out of the ordinary, then I tried to play it and my iTunes completely crashed. When I open my iTunes back up, the movie is gone completely. I have tried restarting my iTunes, restarting my computer, reinstalling iTunes, adding movies in different ways (dragging and dropping), but nothing has worked so far.
    I'm fairly sure this isn't a format issue, as it's stopped working for .m4v files and .mp4 files, I've tried converting one to the other and nothing has for it to load properly into iTunes.

    Still having issues :/

  • IBooks won't open after adding a new PDF

    This topic has been posted before and there are really no resolutions that I can see. I added a 2 page pdf to iBooks and it closes as soon as it encounters the pdf on the shelf. I've tried just about everything suggested. Finally I tried deleting it in finder and iTunes and then deleting iBooks and downloading a new iBooks but it just won't go away. I am SO happy that most of my stuff is on Kindle. I won't use iBooks for anything further. Kindle is great and always there for me. It's terrible all the posts and no help from Apple.

    Hi there Eyes-only, I'll see if I can help you with this problem.
    Try some basic trouble shooting steps first to see if they help the problem:
    • Multi tasking quit iBooks (double click the home button then slide ibooks away)
    • Perform a hard reset on your device (hold down the power button & home button until you see the apple logo)
    If these fail to solve the problem, you're going to have to move onto some more time consuming steps.
    • Backup your device then entirely reset & erase it, then setup your device again restoring it from your backup via iCloud.
    • Failing this, attempt a software reset using iTunes
    Let me know if any of these steps resolve the problem, or get you any further to a solution.
    Kind Regards.
    - Mike.
