Sound issues_interactive pdf

Ive  created a brochure in Indesign of videos and interactive work for an exhibition,  after exporting my interactive pdf to a swf file I have problems with the sound.
Ive placed all the videos (aprox20, maily flv's) into the interactive pdf and put the into object states having buttons next to them to select and play each one.
When exported to swf and html some of the videos when played won't stop playing sound, even when leaving the page their placed on.
Seems simple but I have no idea how to put it right
can you help?
p.s cs5 user

You need to make a video stopper on the next page. If you turn the page and that page has another video on it, then the previous video will stop because the new page video is starting. While clumsy, you can place a small video that has only one split second and one small white frame, and put it somewhere on the blank part of the next page.

  • Sound in PDFs not playing - suse - latest Reader for linux  (7.0.9?)

    I have a pdf that has sound files incorporated into it somehow and I can't get them to play. I am using the latest available adobe reader for linux and I have suse linux, I forget what version but not too old. When I click on the link for the sound, absolutely nothing happens. I know it does work because it works at work on Vista. I am not sure whether there are actual sound files in there or if they are links to files on the internet. I suspect maybe they are links because it also will not work in windows XP with Reader 8 on a computer not connected to the internet. However, I have been able to find no information on this, so I don't have a clue.
    Is sound in pdfs a Reader 8 only feature? Does it just not work in Linux? Is there any way to be able to listen to those audio clips?

    So you mean there is a release coming out that will solve my problem? Does anyone know when?
    (The only thing I've found is stuff written in December last year saying they will release Reader 8 for linux/Unix soon. Soon has been and gone since then ;) )

  • PC-Mac issues with sound in PDF created in Acrobat X

    I posted part of this in the Reader forum but haven't gotten any replies. I'm not sure if this should be here or the PC forum.
    I have a PDF slideshow that I created on a PC for someone to show to her class. She uses a Mac. She has downloaded Reader X and installed it. I don't know what OS she uses, either at home or in class.
    I created the slideshow in Lightroom and exported it to pdf. I brought it into Acrobat and added a few slides in the beginning, plus sound that starts at the first Lightroom slide.The sound is an mp3 that I created from my own WAV in an old version of Audition. I have the sound set up as a floating window, to start when that slide appears. She reports that there is no box where I placed it in the slide.
    I don't have a Mac to test with, so are there settings in her Reader that can be made so that the sound will play? She can play the source mp3 file separately. Short of that, is there something I can do in the slideshow to make it work on a Mac?

    If it is Reader X on the Mac, it should play the same as it does in Windows. (There are no special settings, just the same ones you see in Windows.)
    However, there's a distinct possibility that when she opens the PDF, it will open in Apple's Preview application which would NOT open it the same way.
    You need to verify that she really is viewing it in Reader X. In the Mac Finder, have her right-click on the file and choose Open With and select Reader X, rather than just double-clicking on the file.

  • Web and embedded sound in PDF

    Hi,
    Made a posting in the Windows group but no one seems to know anything about the item.
    I found the possiblity to embed sound in a pdf very accurate to a project I´m working on (example pages from a teaching material in languages) and embedded the corresponing sound (from a CD that is included with the book) and put a nice poster image to start playing. Those pdf:s was then published on the net. It seems to work fine on every PC I´ve tested but the customer has a Mac and when the pages where opened there was no poster or possibility to listen to the sound file. I´m not sure what OS he is using but is there any problems related to this that anyone here can enlighten me.. ?
    Most thankful for any help.
    My best
    Michael

    First of all, I'm not that familiar as a user of Acrobat Pro. But as its included in my CS4 suite I checked it out by "intuition" and as I understood it the "embed-media" feature is a rather new one. Anyway, how I did it is staight forward from the interface. You insert at media type (in my cas a mp3-file) and optional you can use a "poster" as a trigger/button to play the file. Both the sound file and the image is included in the pdf-file.
    Anyway, it would be helpful to know if you can play the sound filde from your Mac. Most helpful would be if anyone knows any limitations connected to my pdf with embedded sound in terms of the average web-user, and especially those running on Macs.
    You don't need to download the file, just open the URL http://www.imatri.se/lab/Prosim/pdf/prosims8.pdf. The page displayed is an excert from a language material in swedish but regardless this: Everything is OK if theres an image of an CD, a playbutton and some text in swedish ABOVE the chapter name "1 Ahoj". A click on that image will play the sound.
    Please let me know how it looks and again I ask anyone who knows about possible limatations to use this kind of docs.

  • 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.

  • Error message opening secure PDF file

    I bought a secure water marked PDF file and am unable to open it on my computer.  I get an error message saying, " There was an error processing a page.  Wrong operand type."  I'm able to download the file and open it on my Android cell phone, but if I copy the same file to my computer or download it directly from the website I get this error message when I try to open it.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat reader, but I still get this same problem.  Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this?  I can open other PDF files, just not that one.  I even tried using the repair Adobe reader menu option and still get the same problem.

    Sounds like pdf file is corrupt. Reader on your computer may be less tolerant of corrupt pdf files, since a corrupt pdf file can be used as a vector for a virus or malware attack.

  • Slideshow not playing as a PDF

    In the last version of Lightroom, I could export a pdf slideshow and it would actually play when the PDF was opened. No music but it did play. Now I do not know if it is a PDF issue or a Lightroom issues, but my slideshows have to be arrowed through, they do not play on there own.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm experiencing the same issue. Plays fine in lightroom 3, but no
    sound in pdf.

  • When exporting to PDF all audio is lost

    I am trying to export a Keynote presentation to PDF. But, when I do so the audio is not exported, the pages with audio are without audio. Exporting to Quicktime is fine, the audio exports, but not with PDF. I know there is a way to do it, because I have seen pdf's with audio that were created by exporting from Keynote, but I do not know how to do it. Can anyone explain?
    Thank you

    PDFs can contain media files, but I don't think this is, or can be, done using KN's "export to PDF" alone. According to this article (<http://www.ehow.com/how5846274insert-sound-file-pdf-document.html>) you can do it only with the paid version of Acrobat, and it sounds as if you have to add the media file, as an extra step, to a PDF you've already made. (Found this by googling: PDF "insert audio")

  • Captivate 8 - how do I export or publish to PDF?

    Captivate 8 - how do I export or publish to PDF?

    Ahhh so you likely fell smitten with the new kid on the block. It's okay. We forgive you. We know how "cool" he is and all.
    Lemme guess, in your editor you have a colored bar at the top? And that would mean that you created a new "Responsive" project. (Insert Ahhhhh, swoooon sound here)
    PDF output isn't there for that project type as it's meant for copying to a web server for consumption on a variety of devices. If you want to publish to a PDF, you need to be using the Demonstration/Simulation project type. And sorry, there is no button or option to enable that goes "Poof" and now it's converted to that type. You will have to re-create the project.
    Cheers... Rick

  • My mac wont let me open an application after it download

    so once i have downloaded an application such as a music download site it successfully downloads but when i try to open it to install it this is exactly what it says(Safari can’t open the file “BlubsterSetup.exe” because no available application can open it.) blubster is the name of the site i tried to download...and then when i click help this is what pops up..
    #1.Safari can open a downloaded file only if it's in the download location specified in the General pane of Safari preferences. If you move the file or change the download location after downloading a file, Safari cannot open it.
    #2.Safari can open a downloaded file only if there is an application available to open it. Mac OS X includes applications that open many types of files including text, image, sound, and PDF files. However, to open some files you might need to install the application used to create the files on your computer.
    #3.The file is still downloading. Wait for the file to finish downloading, then try opening it.
    The file didn't finish downloading because you stopped the download. Resume downloading the file, then try opening it.
    The file didn't download completely because of a problem or the file was damaged. Try downloading the file again.
    i think it may be #2 cause all the others dont apply......thanks

    .EXE files are not very easy to open on Macs with Mac OS X 10.4.3 or earlier. They typically require an emulation program to run Windows.
    See my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
    Newer Macs are more capable of running Windows, and can do so natively. You can attempt to find a 10.3.9 compatible alternative compatible application as well. Audio and video files don't play very well on emulation, but work fine in Windows native compatible Macs.

  • Acrobat pro properties how to usefull screen mode and keep page display at 100%

    I am trying to create a pdf that will open in full screen mode and be a self running presentation but will display at 100% or at the actual page size and resolution.
    When full screen mode is selected and with 100% selected in the properties or with actual size selected in the properties, when the pdf file runs on large screen monitor it enlarges the page display so it is no longer at 100% of size or it actual size (pages are set up at 8.5 by 11 inches full screen mode on large 20 monitor make them enlarge).
    Is there setting combination that can use the full screen mode and thus use the self running presentation but still maintain the image display size and correct resolution 100% at 72 ppi.

    Not having problem with the pdf file autostarting, there are no movies or sounds in PDF file only transitions with auto flip are used. My issue is getting the file to display at correct size and resolution with the full screen mode also turned on in the document properties (running acrobat 9 pro on mac os 10.5.8). Using 100% or actual size or fit page in the initial view setting seems to not effect this when the full screen mode also is selected. I want the file to display at its correct size and resolution, I thought that using 100% vs actual size would make the file display at its 8.5 x 11 size or what ever size is used regardless of monitor size it is displayed on. PDF file seem to do this when the full screen mode is not used.
    I thought that I had gotten this to work with full screen mode before, maybe this has changed with acrobat pro 9 on mac?
    It seems there is no way to affect the display within the fullscreen mode. So for example if you set in document properties under the initial view the magnification to 50% when the the full view mode is checked it overrides this magnification setting this seems to be so if using the actual or the 100% setting. Yes the 20 or 27 inch monitor displays it larger and also distorted because the file resolution is intentionally kept at screen res 72 ppi because I need to maintain a small file size. This is not what I want to happen. I thought there was a way to control how the file displays when using the fullscreen mode. this is my making me crazy issue.

    Actually what you are seeing is what it shows on your monitor. and will be different for each person's monitor. 100% on a 15" monitor is going to show much smaller than on a 27" inch monitor.
    As for the autostart. On Macintosh only sound and movies are allowed to autostart, and even then only from computer or if your using Quicktime , or possible for music iTunes. PC's are the ones that allow anything and everything to autostart. I don't know if its as big an issue now oas when Apple begaan the policy. But it was apple actually looking after the users best interest. You see a lot of Virus, Trojan Horses, worms, and other malware were installed using autostart commands so Autostart simply does work  Now you could create a PDF to be burned on a DVD and sent to people, That can be set to AutoStart. but it would fail for your mac users.  it doesn't take but a second for a person to click on a PDF to run it.

  • When I start new project files from previous project are displayed

    WIN 8 PRE 9   PAL (UK) 
    I have PRE 9 since new and gave up with it as it contuinually crashed.   I am trying again but find when I open a new project all the old media files are displayed on the right.   I delete them and then drag and drop new ones in, but it still shows the old ones.   File names are the same as previous project but in a different drive and directory.   When I try to do anything it asks where are the old,deleted, files
    I thought with version 9 the problewms would be ironed out.   Apparently not.
    I have found DVD Styler Freeware is excellent and produced a simple DVD in about 5 minutes.   I may be doing something wrong in PRE9 but do I need to be Steven Speilberg to get a basic DVD burned?

    I believe you have two problems. One of misunderstanding, and one of having moved / deleted files from your hard disks.
    The misunderstanding:
    Premiere Elements consists of two separate but connected programs - the Editor with which you create your video projects and the Organizer which is a media manager into which you can import still images, videos, sounds and PDF files and then rank, organize, tag, make albums from and do many other activities.
    The Media pane in the Organize tab in the Premiere Elements Editor is a mini-view to the main Organizer program and will show you all the media on your computer that you have imported into it. This initial panel is NOT project specific. To see the media for the specific project you look to the Project pane in the Organizer tab.
    These pages from the manual at http://help.adobe.com/archive/en_US/premiereelements/9/premiereelements_9_help.pdf may be helpful:
    Moving/Deleting Files problem - the 'Where is ...' issue
    The Organizer is a database and records the where and name of media files that you have imported into it. So long as you use the folder and file management features of the Organizer, it keeps track of the files. But the moment you use Windows Explorer to move or delete files this does NOT update the Organizer database and it loses track of them.
    The Editor also keeps track of files used in Projects. If these files are moved or deleted, then the Editor will prompt for their location.
    Resolution
    For the Organizer issue use Find> All Missing Files (in the Elements Organizer, not the Editor) . After a while you will see a list of all files in the Organizer for which the originals are no longer in their recorded location. As it sounds as though you are not making use of the Organizer, the simplest way to resolve this is to select them all and press Delete. This will delete them from the catalog.
    For the Editor issue, put copies of the files back where the Editor is looking for them, then in the Project pane of the Organizer tab delete them from there. Then you can delete the copies from the hard disk.
    You might also find the Elements 9 Organizer manual of help  - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ElementsOrganizer/9.0/Using/index.html

  • Downloading-What application do I use?

    When I download 'stuff' off the internet, instead of it being stored directly to my hard drive(Is that the right term?), the download appears on my desktop and I get a message telling me I need to open it using an 'application'. What does that mean? What application should I open downloads with? Why doesn't it do it automatically? At the moment the only downloads that are currently downloaded directly to my hard drive(?) are genuine Apple Mac updates.

    Hi Lux,
    If you are using Safari to download then the preferences will tell it where to go. I think Desktop is the default but you can change it to go where you want it to go.
    On the preferences there is also a tick box to 'Open "safe" files after downloading' which I have selected.
    When you have an application on your desktop that you don't know how to open let us know what is it called - this might give someone a clue how to answer the next part of your question.
    For Safari 2.0.2. (416.12) the Help says this:
    b Safari can't open a downloaded file
    There are several reasons Safari can't open a file you have downloaded.
    * Safari can open a downloaded file only if it's in the download location specified in the General pane of Safari preferences. If you move the file or change the download location after downloading a file, Safari cannot open it.
    * Safari can open a downloaded file only if there is an application available to open it. Mac OS X includes applications that open many types of files including text, image, sound, and PDF files. However, to open some files you might need to install the application used to create the files on your computer.
    * The file is still downloading. Wait for the file to finish downloading, then try opening it.
    * The file didn't finish downloading because you stopped the download. Resume downloading the file, then try opening it.
    * The file didn't download completely because of a problem or the file was damaged. Try downloading the file again.
    It looks like this is the one for you:

  • Will time capsule back up Sooloos Store Ones?

    I have a Sooloos system with two Store One devices holding almost two terabytes of music. Can the Time Capsule back up Sooloos?  I assume through iTunes?  If so what about auto backup?

    Time Capsule can do NOTHING..... it is a dumb hard disk inside a pretty much standard Airport Extreme Router.
    It is a target for Time Machine.. all the smarts are in the computer and TM which does the backup.
    BUT TM cannot backup network drives.
    So neither TC or TM can do anything.. in and of themselves.
    I have no idea what a Sooloos is but if it can backup itself to SMB or AFP target network disk, then it can work.. otherwise no.
    Edit.. I did read up this basic review
    http://www.meridian-audio.com/sooloos/pdfs/sound-vision.pdf
    But I still don't know the networking abilities of the unit.
    iTunes will not be able to backup a network drive either.. only if it is locally stored on the computer, then TM can back it up locally.. or perhaps you can get itunes to cloud store the material.. but 2TB is an awful lot to do that with.

  • I subscribed to acrobat standard (annual) but do not know how to download it to my computer. Please help.

    Specifically I am subscribed to Acrobat Pro Standard. When I open it it is on the web. Previously I have gotten messages saying that my subscription has expired, but it hasn't.

    Hi sharond,
    I've checked your account to make sure that all is well there, and it is. Your Acrobat Pro subscription is active.
    You can download it from here:  https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat.
    Acrobat doesn't open via the web (it runs on your desktop). So, it sounds like PDF files are opening in your browser via Adobe Reader. If that's the case, you can set Acrobat as the default application to open PDF files after it's installed by following the instructions in this post: how do i make adobe professional the default to open all pdf's instead of reader (Adobe Reader)
    Please let us know how it goes.
