Can PDF files be included with a movie on iDVD?

I'm using iMovie to create a movie of a presentation recorded by video camcorder, and that effort looks to be promising so far. When the iMovie editing is finished, I want to burn the presentation on iDVD as a digital seminar.
My hope is to provide copies of the handout (six pages of A4 text and images) that accompany the presentation on the same DVD recording. I'm thinking that if PDF documents of the handout could be included on the DVD, they could be simply opened and printed out. I've discovered that PDF files can be imported to iPhoto, but it appears only to produce single-page images, and I'm not sure how they could be printed out to full size A4 (which I would prefer). The original documents were created on AppleWorks 6.2.9, if that's helpful.
1) Can PDF documents be included in an iDVD recording?
2) Can they be printed out as full size (A4) documents?
3) Is there another way of going about this?
4) Would providing a separate CD with 'print these' documents be simpler?
Thank you in advance, Isshi.

1. Yes. You can add these PDF's to the dvd-rom section of the dvd and can be accessed from your mac or pc. But they will not play back on most set top dvd players or TV's.
2. Yes.
3. Yes but it is more costly. One could also use apple's FCS / DVDSP.
4. Not necessary. Just do it on the same dvd using iDvd.
(Btw, you may want to consider using Pages as opposed to AW 6. I too use AW 6 but sometimes have issues opening an older document. Pages does not have these same issues).
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

  • How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

    How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
    I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document.  When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
    It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
    The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
    Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
    This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

  • Can not print PDF file at all with Windows Vista

    I have Acrobat Reader 9.3.2.  I am working off of Windows Vista on my laptop to a network wireless printer (Brother MFC 9440).  I am unable to print pdf files.  About a week ago, we had problems with our printer printing anything.  I had to uninstall it and reinstalled it and it now works fine except the pdf files. I have had no problems printing any other files on any other programs but this one.  I am unsure what specific "updates" I ran while trying to figure out printers issue.  When in Reader, everything seems normal.  When I hit print, the printer box pops up as normal and then I hit ok, my printer icon at bottom pops up for about 5 secs and nothing happens.  I know that I am connected to printer due to all other programs can print.  I do not have access to another printer to see if pdf will print on another printer, but do know that the other two computers used in this office (mac laptop and mac desktop) both are able to print pdf files to this printer without a problem.  I have gone thru all the other help steps to try to resolve the situation:  it still will not print when I hit "print as image", made sure that my printer is marked as network and is default printer, made sure to check that I have all upgrades, etc.  I am not getting any error message, so am unsure what is wrong.  It just will not print.  Is there anyone that could give me some suggestions that I have not tried?  I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanks!

    Every time I open a pdf file which includes a javascript, a dialogue box pops up. I have a question why 'Do not show this message again' is not working even I checked on the checkbox. It should block the dialogue next time when I open the same pdf file but not working. What is the matter and how can I deal with it?

    I am trying it on Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.2.1. Tried to fix Hex code, and also tried 'edit-preference-trust manager'. I focusing on Adobe registries but still couldn't fix the problem.

  • Viewing PDF files in-browser with Firefox (17.0 as of this writing) on a Mac

    Hello there,
    since I don't remember when there has been a problem with the Adobe Reader NPAPI plug-in and Firefox. Previously, with earlier versions of Firefox and with Adobe Reader 10.x the problem was that the plug-in wasn't working properly and one got a blank page without any explanation. This led to Firefox black-listing the Adobe Reader NPAPI plug-in and having it disabled by default, if I remember correctly. Now it seems we've got the situation reversed, as if Adobe has black-listed Firefox as a browser, because when I try viewing a PDF file in-browser with the most up-to-date versions (17 and 11 for Firefox and Reader respectively), I'm getting the following error:
    Adobe Reader cannot show documents in this browser.
    We are sorry, but Adobe Reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration.
    Please use your browser to download this file and open it in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.
    To avoid this message in the future, many browsers provide a way to turn off certain add-ons, and some are able to show this document natively.
    Please contact your browser vendor for more details.
    All's well that ends well, but unfortunately we haven't seen any solution so far. With Safari 6.x the plug-in is working fine. With Firefox it isn't. Let's see what can be done: in its last sentence the error message recommends that I contact my browser vendor for more details. The wording of the first two sentences however suggests otherwise: "Adobe Reader cannot show documents in this browser. Adobe reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration." Thus, my question is
    What is it in this browser and/or browser configuration that doesn't suit the Adobe Reader plug-in? Is it only this newest Firefox version (17) that isn't supported or is it the Firefox browser and why? Should I be able to spoof Firefox' identity and make it seem like Safari to the plug-in, what's going to happen?

    Very frustrating, but I found the fix (on another site - can't believe with 360 views, no one here knew). In Firefox, PDFs are automatically set to open with the faulty Adobe plug-in. To change it to open with Adobe Reader, check out the instructions here:

    how to combine a few PDF files into one with Adobe reader?

    Hi aho,
    You would need either Acrobat (link to free 30 day trial) or our PDF Pack subscription service to perform that task.

  • Merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader

    Does anyone know how to merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader. Is it even possible?
    Thanks

    If you've got a Mac and OSX you can do this in Preview.  Make sure you can see the sidebar with the first PDF opened, and then drag the second PDF to the bottom of the last page in the sidebar.  Also you can reduce the size of your saved file by selecting (or making) a Quartz filter to 'reduce file size'
    Cheers

  • How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • Can I open an encrypted pdf file from Dropbox with my iPhone, iPad, or iPad Mini?

    Mac OS 10.9.3 encrypts a pdf file using Acrobat XI, then sends it to Dropbox.  Mobile device retrieves encrypted file from Dropbox.  Then can mobile device user open (unencrypt) the pdf file?

    George, you wrote something that encouraged me to try to encrypt a PDF document again using the security icon on the menu bar of my old Acrobat 8 Professional. It worked this time (it wouldn't encrypt on my first try, and I wrongly assumed that it wasn't compatible with Maverick OS).  I dropped document into Dropbox, retrieved it with mobile devices; and when I tapped on the document, it simply asked for the password and opened perfectly. When moving to a different screen, then back to the secured PDF file, one must re-enter the password again (which is good).
    As far as what PDF viewer -- I don't know.  I have the Acrobat Reader APP on my devices, is that the reader the document is using??  I've never figured out which APPs are running at any particular time on these devices.
    Many, many thanks for your reply!!

  • PDF file size grows with each save if .access property set on a field

    We are seeing an odd form behavior and have isolated the apparent trigger to something we are doing in the form script.  I'm hoping someone can confirm they see the same problem, details follow:
    We have a form generated in LiveCycle.  It contains a text field.  In the docReady event for that field we have javascript which sets the field to be readOnly (TextField1.access = "readOnly").  We reader extend the form so we can save it from reader and/or the plug-in/control which is used by a browser when reading PDFs.
    With that simple form, open the form via the browser (we've tested with both IE and Chrome) and without doing anything else, just save the form (with a new name).  When we do that, the saved copy of the form is significantly bigger than the copy we started with.  If we then repeat the process using the newly saved file, the third copy is bigger than the second.
    This file growth does not happen if you open the file in Adobe Reader (instead of in the browser).
    When we look at the file contents via a text editor, what we have found is that each save via the browser is tacking on a chunk of data to the end of the file AFTER the %%EOF mark.  This new section appears to be one or more object definitions and ends with another %%EOF.  The first portion of the file (prior to the first %%EOF) is identical in all versions of the file.
    If you take a copy of the file that has these extra section added, then open and save it in Adobe Reader, it eliminates those extra sections and you get a 'clean', small version of the file again.  So those extra sections are clearly erroneous and unnecessary.
    Another thing worth noting, we took the script for setting the field access property out of the docReady event and put it as the click event on a button added to the form.  If you then open the form, press the button and save it you see the file growth (but not if you don't press the button.)  So it doesn't appear related to the docReady event, or timing of when we set the access property of the field.
    On the small test form described above the growth of the file is around 13KBytes.  But in testing with our real forms we've found that the amount  of growth seems to be tied to the size/complexity of the form and the form data.  In our most complex form with multiple pages with hundreds of fields and a large amount of XML data (form size is 2+MB), we are getting a file size increase of 700KBytes on each save.  This is a therefore, a significant issue for us, particularly since the process in which the form is used requires the users to save it a couple of times a day over the period of a month or more.

    I would start by exporting the XML data from the form before and after it grows to see if it is the underlying data that is growing and where. Did you define a schema and bind your form fields to a data connection created from the schema? That is always my first step when creating a form. It makes for a smaller saved file not including multiple levels of sub forms in the data structure.

  • Cannot copy tagged pdf files to device with ActiveSync

    I am using a Dell Axim X50V running Windows 2003 second edition. I have Acrobat Reader 2 for ppc installed which reads files with no problem. However, when I try to copy files to my device using Active Sync, it will only let me do so if I select the option *not* to convert them to tagged files. If the option to convert to tagged files is selected, it tells me that "There was a problem backing up your Synchronised Files folder" and "Conversion failed. The specified module could not be found." It then suggests I haven't got enough memory (which I have), or the files are read-only (which they aren't), or that I don't have permission to copy this file type.
    If I try copying pdf files to my device via Active Sync without converting them to tagged files, it works without any problems, but I can't reflow.
    Is there an easy way to persuade Active Sync to copy tagged pdf files to my device?
    Katie

    I just solved this problem on my computer. This may or may not apply to you, but let me tell you what I found.
    When active-sync tries to move a PDF file to your PDA, the first thing it does is look for the tools it needs to tag that file.
    To find these tools, it goes to the folder where you first installed Adobe 2.0 on your computer. In my case, I moved that folder, thinking I could conserve hard disk space. You might also have deleted that folder, thinking it was no longer needed once Adobe 2.0 was on your PDA. In my case, once I put those files back in the same place where they were installed, the functionality was restored.
    I hope this helps. good luck!
