Flash Buttons for PDF Documents | Adobe Acrobat - 0 views

Acrobat 9 has brought some great new features to Acrobat and PDF. But for my money, the best one is the Rich Media Annotation. By “rich media,” Adobe means Flash. So these annotations are really Flash players. This is not the same as the existing Screen Annotation that plays movies (and Flash, of course), and on the surface it looks much poorer.

Building Flash UI controls for PDF The Flash 9 player is built into Acrobat 9 (the version numbers are a coincidence). Playing media on an arbitrary user's system is no longer a guessing game. This is truly a happy moment for all creators of multimedia PDFs. The reason it's so much simpler than the Screen Annot is that there is no need to worry about what users have on their systems. The player is built-in, all media is Flash and all the playback controls and interactivity are built into the Flash file itself. Quite literally, there is no need for any of this functionality on the PDF side, or on a user's system.
