1 Select the Sound tool

or the Select Object tool

, and then double-click the play area.

2 Type a name in the Title box. By default, the name of the media file appears as the title. If you create an action that

refers to this media title, changing its name prevents the action from working properly.

3 To specify a different media file on a local drive, select Local File and then click Change Location; to specify a

different media file located on the Internet, select URL and then type the web address in the Location box. Click
Close.

4 On the Playback tab, select from the following options:

Show Player Controls

Displays a controller bar at the bottom of the play area.

Use Floating Window

Plays the media clip in a separate window. Specify the dimensions (using scale factors) of the

floating window in the Size menu.

Play

Determines the play action of the media clip.

5 On the Appearance tab, specify the appearance of the border and poster for the play area. The poster defines the

appearance of the play area when the video isn’t playing. To reduce file size (and possibly the image quality) select
256 Colors. Click Close.

Document properties and metadata

View document properties

When you view a PDF, you can get information about it, such as the title, the fonts used, and security settings. Some
of this information is set by the person who created the document, and some is generated automatically.

In Acrobat, you can change any information that can be set by the document creator, unless the file has been saved
with security settings that prevent changes.

1 Choose File

> Properties.

2 Click a tab in the Document Properties dialog box.

Document Properties

Description

Shows basic information about the document. The title, author, subject, and keywords may have been set

by the person who created the document in the source application, such as Word or InDesign, or by the person who
created the PDF. You can search for these description items to find particular documents. The Keywords section can
be particularly useful for narrowing searches.

Note that many search engines use the title to describe the document in their search results list. If a PDF does not have
a title, the filename appears in the results list instead. A file’s title is not necessarily the same as its filename.
