Flash animation, music and videos, virtual reality 3D, and
more—in a PDF? Yes!
Acrobat documents “converged” with audio, video, and
interactive content— it’s the wave of the future and
it’s called rich media. Do you want to get your video and
audio content out into the world in a more convenient way than on
the Web? Are you looking for a way to share rich-media content with
the broadest possible range of readers? Print publishers,
advertisers, educators, and anyone else who’s ready to
leverage the power of PDF and Adobe Reader can benefit from
learning about the possibilities of this new convergence
technology. In the first book of its kind, rich-media PDF pioneer
Bob Connolly presents an eye-opening overview of the world of PDFs
that contain video, audio, and interactive elements. Dozens of case
studies illustrate the nearly limitless potential of rich media.
And the best part about the book is that it practices what it
preaches, with a fully interactive rich-media version of the book
on the accompanying CDROM. Readers can experience first-hand the
power of rich-media PDFs through interactive animation, videos, and
audio.
