How do I get an embedded quicktime file to appear "activated" w/playback & volume upon opening PDF?

I am new to adobe acrobat, and I'm using version 8. I am trying to insert quicktime videos in a PDF File. I have figured out how to insert the video files and embed them in the PDF.
However, when I save the PDF, close it, and then re-open the it, the quicktime file does not appear. If I don't use a poster image, then it is just blank where the file is, but the file is there, and when I click on the empty space where I know that it has been embedded a dialog box opens about playing it just this once, or making it a trusted file, etc. Then it plays, and the volume and playblack controls, along with the background, are visible. (it is actually just an audio track in a quicktime file, so nothing is playing but the audio, and the background is solid black. I have set it up so that it stays there once activated.
What I want is for the volume and playblack controls and the black background to appear as soon as you open the PDF file, without having to click in the blank area where the file has been inserted. This is going to be part of a portfolio that I am submitting for a school program, so I need the person that is opening it to be able to clearly see where the file is, and see the playblack and volume controls so that he can playback the file.
So how do i get the embedded quicktime file to automatically show up in "activated" mode, with the playback and volume controls visible and ready to be used?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

If the video is only linked it would reduce the file size of the pdf and it would make it accessible for people opening on a device (like iPad) which does not allow flash which must be installed with Acrobat to view embedded media.
But I would recommend to send the people only a link to the PDF. I hate it, when my iPhone filled with useless stuff, if I would like to see it I could donwload, but as attachment make my space overfilled.

How can you get an Embedded Quicktime to rewind?

Hi there,
I have been using the QTPro feature of 'Export to desktop' to create a quicktime for my web site. It works well but I was just wondering if there is a way to get the quicktime to rewind to the start after it has finished the movie and revert to the poster frame (with the quicktime button that says click to play).
ThankS
Pete!

The Click to Play part of the file is just a poster (JPEG format) movie used by the Web page code to load your actual file. You can't get back to it via QuickTime browser plug-in unless you refresh the page.
You could add page code (loop="true") that would play your file over and over until the visitor leaves your page.
Take a look inside the folder created by the export to view the different files. In the html file you'll see the page code (Use this code in the <body> of your web page:).
Edit the param tag code and add <param name="loop" value="true" />
Edit the embed tag code and add loop="true"
Your QuickTime file will now loop when viewed in a browser.

How do I get an animated .swf file to appear in my iPad publication?

I have an existing ID doc I want to publish to the iPad. How do I get the .swf to appear in my publication? And do I need to do something special to get my next and previous buttons to work?

You need to use the content overlay creator to produce a page
that will accomodate the media item and then build buttons on the page to
do the forward and back or media controls.
Publishing for iPad is a slightly different prospect to producing for print or PDF. There is a lot more to it than simply just saying I want an iPad version especially if you want the sexy stuff that you can get with digital publishing.
I have been wrestling with it for some time now and am just now getting to grips with it.

How do I get Firefox to use the Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard plugin to open PDF docs in the browser window?

I have Acrobat 9.0 Standard installed on my laptop and I've followed the guides provided by Adobe and Firefox for using the provided Adobe plugin file with Firefox so that I can view PDF documents in the Firefox browser window, but neither one has worked for me. I have the location of the Nppdf32.dll file (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Browser) and Acrobat is configured to "Display PDF in browser", but whenever I open a pdf on a website, my options are still only to either open it externally with Acrobat or save it. What do I do?

Embedded QuickTime files not playing sound

I'm having trouble getting older, embedded QuickTime files to play properly. Many of them do play but without sound.
An example:
The embedded QuickTime files in questions 6 and 10 here...
http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schuh/lx001/Web_Quizzes/Quiz_07/07web.htm l
...do not play sound.
When viewing the files directly...
Example: http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schuh/lx001/Web_Quizzes/Quiz_07/07_Quiz_m edia/0706_split_brain_red.mov
...the sound plays properly.
I have done a bit of playing around on a few different machines and have found the following:
2009 MacBook Pro: video and sound play correctly in Safari and Firefox

Is this a Yosemite issue? Not being able to play older QuickTime 7 files properly? I'm not sure what else the issue could be since everything seems to work fine in 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 (unfortunately, I have been unable to test this in 10.10 or 10.10.1). Maybe I'm overcomplicating a simple issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Some very interesting observations which peaked my own curiosity due to on-again, off-again nature of the playback. I suspect this is either a "bug" or represents content handling changes that are currently in the process of "evolving." Not a web site programmer so I used iWeb to run some contrast-comparison tests on how audio was handled by the plug-in software when directly accessing the content by its URL and via the page embed strategies. My results mirrored yours in that:
1) All legacy codecs tested (A-Law, IMA, QDM2, QPV, and u-Law) in an MOV file container played correctly in the QT 7 player.
2) The same files all played correctly when content was accessed by the plug-in software directly using the URL reference.
3) None of the files containing legacy audio compression formats would play audio using the plug-in software using a web page embedding strategy.
4) An MP4 (H.264/AAC) version of you original clip played correctly in all instances.
5) Replacing your QDM2 audio track with an AAC audio track in the original MOV file allowed the file to play correctly in all instances.
Based on these observations, I suspect the problem is in the way the software is currently programmed to handle (or rather ignore) the embedded strategy content. However, as you indicated, it is probably time to update your files. Not only did the H.264/AAC version of your original file play in all instances, but it used less than 45% of the file space/bandwidth for the settings I employed as compared to your original "0706_split_brain_red.mov" original file.

i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

Hello rmunsey,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have two separate iTunes Libraries but would like to add the music from one to the other to have one consolidated library.
If you know where the files are for each library, I recommend opening one iTunes Library in iTunes and importing the files from the other library using the following steps:
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
Adding music and other content to iTunes

Next, you can search for duplicates:
Choose View > Show Duplicate Items to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose View > Show Exact Duplicate Items. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.

This should help you identify the duplicates all at one time so that you can delete the extra versions of songs.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?

How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?
When I create the project I get these files:

The libraries that have been imported to create the project are in separate folders:
libreria1/libreria1.jar
libreria2/libreria2.jar
libreria1, libreria2, dist folders are all located inside the project folder.
I added the following code to the build.xml:
<target name="-post-jar">

Of course there is also the project folder:

Can you tell me what is wrong? The error message I get is as follows:

How do I get new SpamAssassin cf files?

When spamtrainer runs, I get the following message:
config: configuration file "//usr/share/spamassassin/20bodytests.cf" requires version 3.000001 of SpamAssassin, but this is code version 3.001005. Maybe you need to use the -C switch, or remove the old config files? Skipping this file at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/Mail/SpamAssassin/Conf/Parser.pm line 344.
How do I get the new cf files? I never updated SA manually, so all mail service related files should have been updated by SoftwareUpdate. Is it just that the newer version of SA doesn't look in the /usr/share/spamassassin directory anymore?

Hi Alex,
I went through my upgrade notes and found an entry back in 2004. I apparently ran the CPAN command for Mail::SpamAssassin on this server by mistake and SpamAssassin was overwritten with v.3.1.5. *spamassassin -V* confirmed it. I wonder why spamtrainer decided to tell me now all of a sudden.
Anyway, I thought this would be a good time as any to update SpamAssassin... and because of the Perl modules, Amavis. Your notes on Topicdesk was a big help.
One thing I don't like about the newest Amavis is that the start/stop/reload command is a hassle to type during the install and debug process (I made shortcut executables in ~/bin). I guess now that it's installed and working, I would never have to type those commands again.
Thanks for your help!

How do I get a 3ga audio file to play on iphone 4s?

How do I get a 3ga audio file to play on iphone
4s?

You don't need to download an App.
My understanding is that you simply have to change the file extension from .3ga to.mp3 (on each file) and then they should play.
That said, it works on a Macbook Pro - I've just tried it.
Not sure about iOS though.
Please reply if it works for you.

I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

On your iMac launch iTunes and at the top next to the Apple symbol click iTunes > Preferences > Devices and tell me what you see. You last sync should be there showing only a device name. If you have an older backup it will be there as well the difference is it will be the device name with a date and time stamp. Sync and backups are two different things and there is a chance iTunes made a backup the first time you hooked up your iPhone 5.
