Embedding multi media in PDF

Multimedia data such as audio, video can be embedded in PDF. You can specify it as <video src="video.mpg" type="video/mpeg"> or <object data="video.mpg" type="video/mpeg">. A poster picture can be specified to -ah-poster-image. You can show the player control bar by -ah-show-controls, the volume of the sound by -ah-media-volume and the number of times to play the multimedia by -ah-media-play-mode. Embedding of multi media data is available only with PDF1.5 or later.

Without the setting of -ah-poster-image

With the setting of -ah-poster-image

-ah-show-controls="true", -ah-media-volume="10%", -ah-media-play-mode="2"

The control bar is shown in the lower side of the multimedia under playing. An enough space is required under the multimedia element. Whether the setting of -ah-show-control, -ah-media-volume, -ah-media-play-mode may become effective or not depends on multimedia data, a viewer and a player.
