Adding movies and sounds
Add movies or sounds to PDFs
You can add movies and sounds to PDFs in Windows if the media is playable in Windows Media Player, Flash Player,
RealPlayer, or QuickTime. In Mac OS, you can add QuickTime compatible movies and sounds to PDFs.
Before you add a movie or sound clip to a PDF, you must decide if your clip will be compatible—that is, playable—
in Acrobat 6 and later, or in earlier versions as well. If you choose the Acrobat 6 Compatible Media option, you have
many more choices, such as the option to embed the movie and add multiple renditions. However, users with earlier
versions of Acrobat will have to download Adobe Reader to play your clip.
You can provide different renditions of the movie that play if the users’ settings vary. For example, you may want to
include a low-resolution rendition for users with slow Internet connections.
Note: If an alert message tells you that no media handler is available, you must install the appropriate player before you
can add clips to the PDF. For example, you must install QuickTime if you want to embed an MOV file in a PDF.
