How to embed audio clips into pdf document

Hello I have a two-hour lecture I've transcribed. There are about 20 paragraphs. I want to embed the audio of the lecture into the pdf document so that when the reader clicks on a paragraph or on a button/control near the paragraph the audio for that particular paragraph starts up. An ideal version of this would be in pdf format and would allow the reader to click anywhere in the pdf and have the audio start from that point. I've never embedded audio before. I also have InDesign, Lightroom and Photoshop and can use them to embed audio before exporting to pdf.

The exact process will depend on the version of Acrobat you have. In AA7, I just selected TOOLS>Advanced Editing>Sound Tool and added a sound file to the document. There were options for AA5 and AA6 compatibility as well as for embedding the sound file in the PDF.
When you select the sound file, it asks if you want to play the file or accept the file as trusted for future requests. The file then played just fine. When I added the link, I was given a box to use to surround the area of interest on the page. You can set the border color and such (like make it invisible, though that might confuse folks).
I am not sure what more you want. It is possible to add audio to open when you open the page also as well as set timing for the page. That would provide a way for the person to essentially have a lecture presented on your system without having to intervene. For the playing of the pages and timing, you may ahve to have the file open in full-screen, not sure.

  • Embedding Audio Clips in PDF Document

    Hello,
    I would like to be able to embed very short audio clips/files in a document, with a "play" button/icon that allows users to click on it and here a brief text excerpt.  Is this possible with Acrobat?  Would I have to use Flash to accomplish this?  Can someone point me to instruction on how to accomplish this task?  Thanks so much for your help.

  • How do I join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in Premiere Pro CS5?

    Hello,
    The question is in the title but I'm wondering how I can join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in PP CS5.5.  I put all my short clips right next to each other and selected all of them to see what options are available by right clicking and using the toolbar options at the top.  The closest that I got was to nest the sequence, but that's not what I really want.
    I'd like to merge all the short clips into one single (long) audio file to use under the video.
    Thoughts are welcome and  greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Melvin

    O.K. This is kind of fundamental and you will need to learn up on this fully ...but for now...
    Make sure you have the WAB ( work area bar )covering the length of the audio clips. ( You do not need to select them)
    Go to the File Menu> Export Media
    You will be given all the Export Options.  Choose Wave File
    Select option for Export Work Area.
    Choose where to export the file to ( HD location)
    follow your nose from there....

    BTW - Why are you taking the audio to Audition anyway? What are you going to do to it.

    You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
    Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
    Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
    Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
    After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
    Default: PDF/A 1-b
    Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
    Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
    Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
    Check the following check boxes
    View Adobe PDf Results,
    Add Document Information,
    Rely on system fonts only,
    Delete Log files for successful jobs.
    Select OK
    A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
    I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
    Hope this will help.

  • How to stream YouTube video in PDF document using ID 5.5?

    I'm using ID 5.5 and know how to insert a video into a document using the Media palette, "Insert video from URL" option. However, I need to stream a YouTube video in an interactive PDF document, and when I try to insert the link from YouTube into the "Insert Video from URL" box, ID doesn't recognize it. I assume this is because YouTube video links don't end with a typical video format file-name ending, such as ".mp4" or ".mov"
    Has anyone been able to stream a YouTube video into a document using ID 5.5? If so, how did you do it?
    Downloading the video and inserting it as a regular video file isn't an option because we need to keep the PDF file size down.
    Thanks much for any advice you may have!

    It can't be done. A YouTube video cannot be streamed in any digital publishing media—PDF, EPUB, or DPS.
    There are applications which claim to be able to convert a YouTube video into a real digital publishing format like H264-encoded MP4 (preferred), but you'll have to investigate those on your own.

    Ah, yes, I'm using Adobe Reader!  That makes sense.  Thanks so much for your reply.  At the moment, I scan Word documents into my computer and they're automatically converted to PDFs.  If I had Adobe Acrobat on my computer, and scanned in documents, would they open in Reader automatically or could I open them in Acrobat and therefore add password protection?

  • How do i edit a scanned pdf document in word?

    how do i edit a scanned pdf document in word?

    In order to edit a scanned PDF anywhere, you'll need to run Optical Character Recognition so it can covert the text from an image to actual text.
    That would require Adobe Acrobat once the PDF is created. If you are using scanning software to create the PDF, that option may be in the software so you can OCR it as you create it.

    While the ExportPDF service doesn't support Dutch at this time, it does support French, which uses a similar character set.  You may want to try choosing French as the OCR language.

  • How to embed audio into file for export to pdf

    Hello, I've transcribed a two-hour lecture and copied it into Indesign.  I would like to create a pdf with the audio of the lecture embedded in it so that when the reader clicks on a paragraph or a button the audio for that particular sentence or section starts up. The point is to allow the reader ready-access to the audio that corresponds with the transcript. Ideally the reader could click anywhere in the text and the audio would start there.  Does anyone have any suggestions for making this kind of document? much appreciated.

    no pardon necessary! i need to embed the audio file because it contains the original lecture, that's what I want the reader to have access to while reading the transcription, since the transcription is not meant to substitute for but rather supplement the audio. for example, in the transcribed text I have put "[...]" for segments of the recording that are inaudible. If I put the original audio into the file then the reader has the option of going to that specific section and listening to it themselves. basically i want to create a pdf document of a lecture. I want to be able to highlight important parts of the lecture, search the lecture for key-words, and scan it quickly for specific items of interest, but I also want easy access to the original audio because tone of voice isn't translatable into text (and the tone of voice in this case is important for meaning), and because there are many segments that I couldn't hear, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to link sections of the text to specific sections of the audio.

  • How can I incorporate several video and audio clips into one iMovie project?

    Hello all.  Basically, I'm trying to solve a problem before it becomes one.  I'm going to put together a short iMovie project for a thank-you dinner.  Several people from out-of-town will not be able to make the dinner.  I want to give them the opportunity to "speak" by having them put together a short video or audio clip.  I then need to gather up all the clips and put them together in one iMovie project.  I guess I'm looking for some assistance in terms of format, what types of files/formats to use, etc.  I've done a few movies (mainly from still pictures -- glorified slideshows with music).  But, I'm still a relative neophyte when it comes to the computer world.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  (feel free to point to a "How to " tutorial if there's a good one out there). 
    Thanks.

    your problem will not be the process of 'glueing stuff together'
    follow advice given here
    http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/
    under 'Getting started' or follow the 'Video' tutorials ...
    the real task is, to make all clips readable for usage in iM ...
    before making you a technician on video-codecs:
    download and install the free tools Mpeg Streamclip and Perian.org
    you have to relaunch your Mac after doing so...-
    BEFORE adding any of your external sources into an Event, use Streamclip to manually convert to DV, or if source is HDef, to Quicktime/Appleintermediate.
    the resulting files should import flawless into iM, proceed as usual.
    iM 'swallows' a lot of formats, so it could be this manual conversion isn't needed ...
