Embedding FLV Video Into PDF Files

I have been testing out embedding FLV files into PDF's to simplify presentations (no need for Powerpoint, DVD player, DVD player software, etc..). It is a bit slow when a big video file will load, but I think it is worth it for the simplified presentation method.
My problem is this, whenever I embed an FLV file into a PDF, it seems to degrade the quality down a notch or two. I am not concerned about file size since these will always be played locally from a hard drive or CD so I created the embedded FLV file to be high quality and very crisp (720 x 486, ~2200kbs bit rate). However, no matter how good a file I embed, after it becomes embedded it always looks worse. At this point, it has mainly been trial and error, but the original quality does not seem to matter as to how it will look in the PDF.
Does Acrobat Pro re-encode the video no matter if it is FLV or not? And is there anyway to change the settings so it does not alter the existing quality?
Thank you.

Are you inserting a screen capture FLV of the whole screen. I use camtasia Studio to capture my desktop in video... and if the playback is NOT at the same size as the original...then it can look blurry.

Streaming/Embedding Youtube videos into PDF

Hi all
My boss wants me to add a youtube video into a PDF document. I am having trouble doing this. I have gotten as far as adding video from file source. However when it comes to adding the youtube url I become stuck.
Thanks for your help....

Hello SaBrHM,
Embedding videos into emails is not possible.
You can include a screen shot of the video and link to your site where the video is.
Hope this helps,

Embedding Full-text Index into PDF File

Hello Everyone,
I've tried to create and embed full-text index into PDF file, but with no luck. I've followed steps described at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WSC28D4DBB-6A78-4027-9E04-F50FE411CFB9.w. html - there can be seen progress of collecting of data and at the end the button Update index is enabled. This is signal for me that Index was created. After clicking on Ok button, saving document as new one and then reopening "new created" document, there is info that no Index is embedded in the Manage Embedded Index dialog. Is there any other step necessary to do? Or is it bug? Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1 on Windows Vista 32bit is used.
Jan
PS: Interesting is also comment at the bottom of above mentioned help page...

Thanks for the response. It is true that if I make changes and look at the embedded index status, it shows that it needs updating
However the problem I can't get around after extensive testing is that sometimes for no apparent reason the index is dropped on save. This can happen if I check the status of the index to make sure it is valid, save the file, and reopen it.
I've concluded that this must be a bug and am using other indexing options for the time being.

When I publish as an .mp4, the embedded .flv videos clip at the end

I am using Captivate 6.0.1.240. I have .flv videos that were encoded using Adobe Media Encoder from a .mov file. The videos are embedded on the slide, as multi-slide synchronized video, but only distributed across one slide (as strange as this might seem, it is what was recommended to me because using Event Video resulted in choppy video).
Now, the videos clip off a second or so before the end of the video. There are no transitions on the video slide or on the slide following it. I have tried extending the length of the slide beyond the length of the video, to no avail.
What am I missing? How do I get the embedded .flv videos to play fully?

Hi there,
As you told you have checked that there is no transition on the Slide on which you have the video.
Have you checked the transition effect on that video, whether Fade out only or fade in and fade out is selected. Select that multi slide video and click on the properties panel and check the transition on it.
Also, if this video is on the last slide, check the fade in and fade out on the project. (edit > Preferences > Project > start and end)
Thanks.

How to enable commenting into pdf files using java?

Hi All,
Is there any way available to enable comments into pdf files through java. I have a Adobe Reader 9 and also I want put some comments into pdf file, but the reader is not allowed to place a comment into pdf file before enabling the Comments into pdf. After enabling the comments in pdf file then only we can place the comments and we can the pdf file with comments.
Is there any way available to enable comments into pdf file to view acrobat reader.
Thanks in advance.

The end user who uses the web application has Acrobat installed in their mahcine needs it only for the purpose of enabling comments in pdf. If this task of enabling comments in pdf is done through my application there is no need for acrobat in such user's machine which was requested as a cost cuttnig measure.
For this purpose, i need to know about how to enable comments in pdf through java api.
I have used itext java api for other pdf related manipulation in java. But it does not have feature as per the requirement posted above. Can any body suggest relevant java api to achieve the task requested?
Tahnks in Advance.

Use of XMP Custom Panel to automate insertion of metadata into PDF file.

I'm new to the world of XMP so please bear with me.
I'm exploring ways of automating the insertion of metadata into PDF files, either at the time of creation, or through a batch process. The metadata values for a given set of documents would be static, so these could be "hard coded" into the mechanism use to insert the metadata.
Would an XMP Custom Panel be something I could use to achieve this goal. If so, can you please provide some details on how to go about doing this.
Thanks in advance.
Louis

Were you able to find a solution to this problem? I am having the same issue.

No Microsoft files listed in the settings "convert into PDF files"

Hi, I wanted to convert different Microsoft Office files, but it doesn't work. There are no Microsoft files listed in the settings "convert into PDF files". I had the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on a MAC in Windows that runs trough Parallels. Hope somebody can help. Thx

Hi Rahul,
many thanks for your suggestion.
Yes, Parallels is a virtual machine on the top of MAC and I can see all files in the Windows Explorer. Also the ones I created on the MAC top with the Microsoft Office Software Word or Excel for MAC as well the ones I created earlier on a Windows PC.
Unfortunately there is no possibility to convert files into PDF format with a click on the right mouse. And Adobe also doesn't open Word documents because it doesn't support this format.
But nonetheless it wouldn't be a solution that I prefer to convert in adavance every single file in a PDF format. I need to create a PDF package from different formats.
I assume this issue has to do something with MAC or Parallels, because this function of the Adobe Versions Acrobat 8 Pro and XI Pro work well on a Windows PC. I just don't understand why there are no Microsoft Office file formats listed in the Adobe settings. This settings also can't be changed. I tried to find out but couldn't find any hint for this problem thus I'm a bit at a loss... Maybe you have another idea?
Regards

Converting pictures into PDF files

How do I convert pictures into PDF files, is this possible?

If you want to use acrobat reader, you have to pay for it.
So, I use other free or cheap apps to do so =>
* powerpdf
* dragonprinter (draakprinter in dutch)
* writepdf
* scanapp (to convert parts of a picture)
I even think that almost every scan-app can convert pictures into pdf's.

No marker on JFreeChart into Pdf file by IText, why?

Hello everyone,
I have a question which has wasted my few days.
I created a web report with JFreechart and Table on Panel. There is a Value Marker (vertical line ) on the line chart which created by JFreeChart. They all work fine on the website. Then I would like to put them into Pdf file with iText. For the chart, table, and title, pdf file looks fine. But, I can not see any marker in the pdf.
Here is part of my code as follows:
1) // create a marker on myDate of DateAxis;
Date myDate = mySetting.getMyDate();
Month month = new Month(myDate );
Marker myDateMarker = new ValueMarker(month.getFirstMillisecond());
myDateMarker.setPaint(Color.darkGray);
plot.addDomainMarker(myDateMarker);
2)//write chart into Pdf file;
PdfWriter docWriter;
PdfContentByte cb = docWriter.getDirectContent();
PdfTemplate tp = cb.createTemplate(563, 223);
Graphics2D g2d = tp.createGraphics(563, 223,new DefaultFontMapper());
Rectangle2D r2d = new Rectangle2D.Double(0, 0, 563, 223);
myPdfDocPage.chart.draw(g2d, r2d, null); // this chart was created with a value marker showed above.
g2d.dispose();
cb.addTemplate(tp, 15.5f, 585f);
Is there any ideas? I really appreciate you for your help in advance.
