Title: Is it possible to hear sound included in word doc after converting it into pdf
Post by: devduttaa on March 26, 2009, 09:27:07 AM

I have written a Ms word document where I have included an wav file. When I am converting this file into
pdf format, I am unable to get the sound. How to solve?

                                                                              thanks

You cannot put sound in a PDF.

Actually you can. I know in Adobe Acrobat Pro there is a Multimedia option. I haven't played with it much, but I know it is there.

Pretty bold statement from someone who hasn't played with it much... ::)

Interesting.....But the program isn't free, is it?

It's Adobe Acrobat. I don't think there's a free version of that. Then again, I have no idea what program devduttaa is using....

Might help a bit if we knew so we could look into it. PDF does support it, but does his converter?


Side thought: It's annoying enough when a web page starts talking to me, but if my BOOK wants to start a conversation? I'm gonna jump off a cliff....  :||

If it was just a few pages and if the PDF options were not needed, like zoom, copy etc. In that case one would just convert the thing into a nice little show in SWF format. Takes, maybe, more file size, but you can have audio like in a power point presentation. The user could only go to the next or back to the start or quit. 8)
