Embed .mp3 in .pdf without controller?

Whenever I embed an .mp3 in an interactive .pdf, a gray "controller" box appears as soon as the sound is triggered. And once the sound is triggered, the box cannot be made to go away without closing and reopening the pdf. I have no use at all for these things. I feel like I should be able to include interactive audio in a document without being forced to have these unhelpful controllers cluttering up my carefully-designed documents. (I mean, it's interactive audio; should there really be an obligatory visual component?)
Am I missing something? There doesn't seem to be any way to "turn these things off." Any help would be appreciated!

It could be some type of font incompatability between your PC and your Mac.  Most OTF's ( Open Type Fonts ) are compatable with both the PC and the Mac, but it may be a good idea to find out which font is suspect and replace it with a new, Mac version ( license ).  And, yes, for some reason, a font or two may not have been activated when you copied it over to your Mac.  I would think Distiller would be blind to font issues and RIP your file anyway, but again, if the font was never copied over or activated because of a license issue, then Distiller may just substitute the font(s).  It may be a good idea to match all of your previous PC fonts with new Mac versions.  And no, Distiller is not involved when you save-to-PDF in Ai.  The last time I checked, Distiller is / was a stand-alone application for creating PDF's.  Why not try using Distiller to see what happens?  You also have the option to Print > Save as PDF in Illustrator.  That's three ways to create a PDF: 1.) Use Acrobat's Distiller, 2.) Illustrator > Save As > Adobe PDF, 3. ) Illustrator > Print > Save as PDF.  Also, PC TTF's are not compatable on a Mac ( at least, that's the way I see it ).  Have you tried to print a desktop version of the Ai file to see if the font loads in your print driver?  If the printer skews the text that carries your font, then you know the font is definitely the problem.

  • Is it possible to embed an editable PDF form into an html page?

    I have PDF form (editable) that I want users to be able to login and fill out. Once filled out they would click a "submit" button and the PDF would be stored on the database. Is this possible to use a PDF - without creating a custom form from within Bc? Thanks!

    It's not possible, you *may* be able to get the PDF embedded via an iframe but you certainly wouldn't be able to save the information, at least on the server.

  • How to embed and open PDF files within excel

    I constantly need to embed PDF files onto Excel documents as well as extract/open/view PDF files from Excel documents. I am unable to do so with a macbook, i know that there is a workaround but it's such a tedious process. Is there a software i can buy or setting that i can do so that i can embed and open PDF files easily as i need to view these files multiple times a day for work.
    please advise

    Download and install Adobe Reader: Adobe Reader Install for all versions
    Open the PDF file using it. If security restrictions don't prevent it you could also print it.

  • Is it possible to change the page of a linked PDF without relinking?

    Is it possible to change the page of a linked PDF without relinking and going through the import options?
    I'm trying to import seveeral pages of the same PDF. The process would be quickest if I could import it once, then duplicate the image box a number of times, then just change the page number each image box is linking to.
    At the moment I'm having to relink (or place), then go through Import Options, then choose the page - it's a long process that feels like it should be quicker.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    The short answer is no, that's not possible, but it IS possible to import multiple pages at one time.
    My favorite script for this is from Scott Zanelli: InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files, but there's also a sample script included with ID.

  • Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing your default printer?

    With the recent Adobe update (current version Adobe Pro XI Pro (1637-0001) 11.0.00), there were some changes that have caused a program my company uses to distort all or part of a pdf once it has been imported. We have found a work around. However, the work around is now becoming time consuming with the amount of files we deal with on a daily basis. Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing the default printer to the Adobe printer? (this is our work around solution).
    Thanks!

    For what you are trying to do, probably not. You have to open Acrobat and go to the print menu to select the Adobe PDF printer if it is not the default. The only possibility that I can think of (you will have to try it to tell if that is the case) is to drag the PDF to the Adobe PDF printer and see if it prints. This used to work, but I just tried it in Win7 and it did not do the job.

  • Reader plug-in, save copy of password protected pdf without password

    Hello,
    We currently have an Acrobat Reader plugin (using the 8.1 SDK) and are having trouble with password protected PDFs.
    The sole purpose of our plug-in is to pass a copy of the currently open PDF to a different folder on the user's computer. The problem we are facing is with the password protected PDFs. We would like to pass a copy of the PDF that doesn't have the readonly password protection.
    Scenario:
    1. The user opens a password protected PDF in Adobe Reader.
    2. They are prompted for the password, they enter it and can see the PDF. 3. Now they click our custom button.
    4. Save a copy of the currently open PDF without password protection
    Since we already know they have entered the correct password, in theory we should be able to either save all of the content to a new file, or simply remove the password protection.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction so that I will be able to get a PDF without the password?
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Hi again,
    I was doing some research in the API reference and examples and I think that for my business problem, it will be sufficient if I can get the read access password. I found that I am able to use the following:
    AVCryptGetPassword(pdDoc, permsWanted, (void **)&password)
    This prompts the user to enter the password and puts the actual password in the &password variable, which will will work for us. Ideally though, I would like to not have to prompt the user again for the password since they already entered when opening the pdf, is it possible to get access to the plain text of the password that they typed when opening the pdf or another way?
    I tried:
    StdSecurityDataRec* secData;
    secData = (StdSecurityDataRec*)PDDocGetNewSecurityData (pdDoc);
    if (secData) {
    if (secData->hasUserPW)
    char* mypw = secData->userPW;
    However, the password is encrypted. Thanks for your help!
    Thanks,
    Ryan

  • Is it possible to create and save a .PDF without any compression to the resulting .PDF?

    I need an uncompressed file so I can use the resulting PDF to do a find/replace. Can't do it with compression.
    Thanks

    Dave,
    Thanks for the reply. Of all the suggestions I've received this seemed to
    be most promising. I gave it a try and the problem is that when I attempt
    to save as optimized a message box pops up and says I have to save my
    document first. Low and behold when I save it, compression occurs. Even
    when I select the options you suggest I'm left with a compressed document.
    I'm using Acrobat Pro X

    Subject:        Is it possible to create and save a .PDF

    You don't want the UncompressPDF plugin - that's designed to split out the
    COS objects but doesn't remove the Flate encoding (plus if you've never
    compiled a plugin before, it's not really the time to learn).
    Instead, simply save your PDF file using the PDF (Optimized) file type,
    click the Settings button and under "Clean Up" - "Object compression
    options", choose "Remove compression". Turn everything else off if you
    want to retain the PDF content exactly as it was before.
    Your document-level scripts will then be in the file as plain text.

  • Add/Remove a password to an individual PDF without navigating entire security process?

    Is there a procedure/plug-in/script/utility that will allow me to add/remove a password to a single PDF without creating a batch script?
    I create many (dozens) PDF's throughout the course of a a day, either as an export from InDeisgn CS5.5 or via printing to the Adobe Acrobat Converter. I would simply create  watched folders on my desktop to add or remove a password but I haven't found a way to identify security-enabled PDF files without having to open the file.
    I have only two scenarios for creating PDF files as it relates to security. The first includes Printing: HIGH RESOLUTION and Changes Allowed: NONE. The second includes Printing: LO-RESOLUTION and Changes Allowed: COMMENTING, ETC.
    What would really be great is if there was a script that I could access as a Windows Explorer extension that would allow me to add/remove passwors to one or more selected files. It would even be better if, after enabling password security, I could some identify the security status of a file by it's icon or some other visual manner that didn't effect the name of the file.
    I hope I have narrated my situation clearly enough. I look forward to comments or suggestions.

    Not possible with Adobe software - Acrobat's context menu in Windows Explorer is not something you can customize or extend, nor can Acrobat or Adobe Reader change the system icon for a file based on the internal structure of the document.

  • Create a pdf without showing it in the UI?

    Hello!
    I'm trying out Interactive Forms for Java for the first time, so please bear with me if this is obvious.
    Is there a way to create a pdf and not display it in the ui? If I for example just want to download or email it.
    I've tried setting visibility to None and Blank but that prevents the PDF from being generated at all.
    It sort of works if I use FireFox and choose DisplayType activeX since FireFox can't display ActiveX. Our customer runs IE so that is not an option however.
    Thank you for any input!
    Kind regards,
    Richard Linnander

    Hi Richard,
    You can create a pdf without displying it in UI.
    Follow the below steps :
    1. Copy your xdp file under mimes folder.
    2. create a pdfsource context and DataSource node for pdf.
    3. Create a File Download UI element in Ui and bind the data property with pdf source context.
    4. Now copy the below code in wdDoInit() which is genrating the pdf from xdp.
    wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("pdfSource").getModifiableSimpleType();
    ByteArrayInputStream pdfInputStream = null;
         String templateUrl = null;
         try {
              templateUrl = WDURLGenerator.getResourcePath(wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart(),"Name of XDP with extension");
         } catch (WDAliasResolvingException e1) {
              // TODO Auto-generated catch block
              e1.printStackTrace();
         try {
              IWDPDFDocumentHandler pdfDocumentHandler = WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler();
              IWDPDFDocumentCreationContext pdfDocumentCreationContext = pdfDocumentHandler.getDocumentCreationContext();
              pdfDocumentCreationContext.setData(WDInteractiveFormHelper.getContextDataAsStream(wdContext.nodeDataSource()));
              pdfDocumentCreationContext.setTemplate(getByteArrayFromResourcePath(templateUrl));
              //pdfDocumentCreationContext.setDynamic(true);
              IWDPDFDocument pdfDocument = pdfDocumentCreationContext.execute();
              pdfInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)pdfDocument.getPDFAsStream();
              wdContext.currentContextElement().setPdfSource(pdfDocument.getPDF());
         } catch (WDPDFDocumentRenderException e) {          
              wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("An error occured: "+e.toString(), true);
         }catch(Exception e){
              wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("An error occured: "+e.toString(),true);
    5. create a another method in global section
      private byte[] getByteArrayFromResourcePath(String resourcePath)
         throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
         FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File(resourcePath));
         ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
         int length;
         byte[] part = new byte[10 * 1024];
         while ((length = in.read(part)) != -1) {
         out.write(part, 0, length);
         in.close();
         return out.toByteArray();

  • No options under the distribute tab to copy url link or embed a fillable PDF form

    I Have a paid basic account is not giving me the option to under the  distribute tab to copy url link or embed a fillable PDF form? Simply put it doesn't show up for an option. I want to embed the form into my website but the embed feature is not showing up? Please help I have been at this all day.

    Based on your answer above, it sounds like you uploaded the file to your website, as opposed to the function being available from formscentral.
    If you have downloaded the file from Acrobat Pro then uploaded it to a website and had the upload pinned to a download button, then that is going to be a function of your website. Your workaround has nothing to do with formscentral itself.
    You essentially uploaded the file to your website, then made it a downloadable file. The reason it is opening in your browser is because you have the Adobe Reader/Acrobat plug-in for your browser. It's not actually "embedded". If you uninstalled all of your adobe plug-ins, then it would open Reader or Acrobat, not in the browser. The reason it only opens in Safari is likely due to the fact that you only have the Adobe Reader/Acrobat plug-in enabled for Safari, and it is disabled for the other browsers.
    I hope this makes sense!
