4 Click Verify URL And Movie Size to make sure that the URL is valid. (You must have an Internet connection.)
5 Specify any other options, and then click OK.
Movie options
You can edit movie options by double-clicking the movie play area using the Selection tool, or by selecting the movie
object and choosing Object > Interactive > Movie Options.
Description Type a description that appears if the movie cannot be played in Acrobat. This description also acts as
alternative text for visually impaired users.
Choose A File To specify a different movie clip, click the Browse (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS) button next to
Choose A File, and then double-click the new filename.
Embed Movie In PDF Embedding the media file increases the file size of the PDF document but frees you from
having to copy the media file to make it available to others. This option is not available if Specify A URL is selected.
You can override this setting by linking or embedding all media files, or you can use the settings for each object.
Embedded movies require Acrobat 6.0 and later, or Adobe Reader 6.0 and later.
Specify A URL To play a streaming video from a website, select Specify A URL, and then type or paste the URL.
Poster Specify the type of image that you want to appear in the play area.
Mode Determine whether the movie is played once and then closes (if it’s played in a floating window), played once
but stays open, or played in a continuous loop.
Play On Page Turn Play the movie when someone turns to the page of the PDF document on which the movie is
located.
Show Controller During Play Display a controller that lets users pause, start, and stop the movie.
Floating Window Play the movie in a separate window. If you select this option, specify the size ratio and position
on the screen. Increasing the size of the floating window may reduce image quality. The floating window scale is
based on the size of the original movie, not the size of the scaled movie in the document layout.
Sound options
You can edit sound options by double-clicking the sound play area using the Selection tool, or by selecting the sound
object and choosing Object > Interactive > Sound Options.
Description Type a description that appears if the sound cannot be played in Acrobat. This description also acts as
alternative text for visually impaired users.
File To specify a different sound clip, click the Browse (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS) button next to File, and then
double-click the new filename.
Poster Specify the type of image that you want to appear in the play area.
Play On Page Turn Play the sound clip when someone turns to the page of the PDF document on which the sound
is located.
Do Not Print Poster Select this option if you do not want the poster to print in InDesign.
Embed Sound In PDF Embedding the media file increases the file size of the PDF document but prevents you from
having to send or copy the media file along with the PDF document.
You can override this setting by linking or embedding all media files, or you can use the settings for each object.
Sounds must be embedded to be played in some earlier versions of Acrobat.
