Embed sound in PDF on the Web?

Hello,
I've no skills in Acrobat Pro but as it is included in my CS suite I have access to it.
I have a customer that would like to open a PDF from a web-site. I've seen that's possible to embed a sound file in a PDF but I'm not sure if that goes even for PDFs that are opended in the web-browser. If so, it would be a great solution.
So my first question is if that's possible? The result should be that the user open the PDF from a link and then is able to play a soundfile represented on the actual PDF-page. If it's possible, would you prefer to embed the mp3 in the PDF or link to the mp3 on the server?
If all thos works, how do I handle the choice of MediaPlayer and QT? When you embed a mp3-file on an ordinary web-page a browser plug-in will display a player, and if installed it uses either MP or QT automatically. I guess there will be different from the PDF or does it use the same browser plug when played from a PDF-in-a-browser -window.
Most thankful for anything that enlightens me about this.

stephanie: According to adobe forums that doesn't work.
This is completely ludicrous.

Your posting somewhat confused me.
It sounds like you have two versions of Acrobat installed. You say you own Acrobat 9. You also say you installed a version of Acrobat CS 5.5. Does that mean you installed the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 on your computer as well? There is no such product as Acrobat CS5.5. CS5.5 would install Acrobat X.
However, if you had installed CS55 you may have to open at least one of the other CS5.5 applications before you can open Acrobat X. That's because Acrobat X is not well integrated into the Creative Suite.
Am I understanding your situation?

My Mac won't print a pdf from the web

My iMac will not print any pdf from the web. The printer (an ho Photosmart plus) will only print a blank shet of paper.

Try saving the file then, then open Preview and open the file and try printing again. If if the quality is still bad then it's the file itself.

Can I publish a PDF to the web and have others access it and use weblinks within the document?

Is it possible to publish a PDF to the web and have the viewers be able to click on links within the document. I'm asking because I found a PDF file WebQest online and it allowed me to click on the links. How did they do that?

What is your operating system?
Can you open that PDF with a text editor and check that the first four characters are '%PDF'.

Opening pdfs from the web

Hello,
I am having a wierd issue with pdfs from the web. I have adobe acrobat pro 9 (patched up to date) and I have enabled the 'do not open in browser' setting. When I click a pdf link, it opens acrobat 9 as it should but the file name/file type is not .pdf. I do not have reader installed and cannot figure it out. The main issue is when I click the email link, it sends the link for the unknown file rather than the .pdf as I intended.
The short term work around is to save as and reopen the newly saved .pdf.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Go to Adobe Acrobat Reader Preferences and, under Internet, it asks if you want to display PDFs in Acrobat Reader (or Acrobat Pro, etc.). If checked, uncheck the box. Then CTRL-click on a PDF file and select "Open With". If you hold down the Option key at this point, this Open With" will change to "Always Open With". Select Preview. That should do it. Watch out for Reader or some other Adobe programs that ask if you want to make Reader the default PDF viewer when you open them. Always answer "NO".

How can I share an iPhoto-created pdf on the web or via email???

I design photobooks for clients in iPhoto and often use the Print feature to save a book file as a pdf that I can easily review as a final pass. Once or twice I've burned a book draft pdf to a CD and send it to a client for preliminary viewing, comment, and further development requests. That's slow, clunky, and expensive compared to being able to either posting the pdf somewhere on the web that my client can access or email them the pdf (which is usually much bigger than my Mac mail account permits).
Can anyone tell me how I can turn my iPhoto books into a view-only file that I can easily share online with my clients? I'm also about to create a marketing web site for my little design studio and I think understanding this better will help me figure out how to post selected excerpts from the variety of iPhoto (and also Bookmaker) books I've designed and produced over the past year or so.
thanks in advance for any help and ideas you can offer!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is a 3rd party application, pdf-RecoverPro, that will let you lock the file to printing, changing, etc. You set two passwords, one to let the user view it and one to unlock the restricted features. Just provide the first password and send the file. You can try the demo version. It just saves one page in demo mode.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I get the Adobe toolbar to display above a pdf in the web browser?

Hi guys,
I'm just having trouble with locating the grey toolbar, it's not displaying when I open a .pdf in a web browser.
I can open the .pdf fine, (within Safari), and usually (on my old computer) there was a grey toolbar above the .pdf & there's a print icon on it - that's what I'm looking for, so that I can print my lecture notes straight away.
The toolbar won't display on the web browser above the .pdf, but if I save the .pdf & open it with Adobe Reader, then the toolbar displays there with all of the icons etc.
So I was wanting to know if instead of saving them every time, if there's an option to get the toolbar displaying above .pdfs in Safari?
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, iOS does not provide a way to install "plugins" to Safari so there is no possible way the Reader can do this. You can use the "open in" functionality to launch Reader from Safari.

Opening a PDF from the Web

hi i am trying to open acrobat reader with a document by specifiying it in the command line, such as
acrord32 http://www.domain.com/file.pdf.... however this does not seem to work??
Acrobat says "There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume syntax is incorrect."
however if i try
acrord32 c:\file.pdf... this works fine.
Does anyone know how to open a web pdf through the command line?
Regards.

See if you can delete any Adobe PDF plugins from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/. Then quit and re-open your web browser and try again.

How can I launch or open a pdf from the Web using Reader X?

Before I upgraded to Adobe Reader X, I could click on a file to download from the web and it would give me the option to Open, Save or Cancel. Now that I have upgraded, I only have the option to Save or Cancel. Often I would rather Open the document to see it before deciding to save it or not. Is there a Setting or Preference somewhere that will bring back the Open option? btw, I'm using Windows 7 as my OS.

How to save the Increment update to the PDF on the web

By now I use PDDocSaveWithParams method to save file,but this method is used to local,not on the web.
I think there are some methode in SDK to save(or send) the Incremental update to the server.
But i don't know which is,so if there is please tell me.
Thanks.

That is correct. Internet Explorer (or whatever browser you are using) downloads the PDF to your local Temporary Internet Files cache and then Acrobat/Reader open it from there.

IE stops working when trying to open a PDF on the web.

I have checked the add-ons and Adobe Reader is enabled. I have the file AcroIEHelperShim.dll installed. When I try to open a PDF from a web page, IE stops working. What to do?

Thanks for your reply.
IE version 9.0.8112.16421; Adobe Reader version 10.1.3. Only in the last week IE stops responding when I try to open a .PDF file from the web – eg bus route map, catalogue etc. The messages sometimes say “error in preview handler” and sometimes “runtime error – abnormal program termination” – each time the program is terminated. The Reader opens any previous saved files OK, both downloaded from web or via email. Occasionally one from the web displays, with the error message over the top, but am unable to scroll the document or picture, enlarge it etc. I tried copying the PDF file to put on the desktop, but all that copied was the icon for the file.

Unable to read pdfs from the web on my mac

i've read all the advice about re-installing Adobe Flash (and deleting past versions) and have followed the advice (and restarted my computer) but to no avail. When I try to open a pdf from a website I only get a black screen. Any advice?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
