Expert: Michael Jahn Date: 6/26/2007 Subject: Can You Embed Audio into PDF File?
Question Hello Michael,
Is it possible to embed short audio files into a PDF document? I'm thinking of inserting play buttons in an eBook where clicking one produces a five second or so message. I've never seen it done before, but if it could, that would be fantastic.
Regards,
Usuff
