Hello all,
I was looking for ways to make pdf files usig pdfLaTeX with embedded multimedia objects for presentation. As per the suggestion (external link to a file) of a friend and I tried the following and it is working fine. May be useful to other also. Use the command \Movie as defined below:
\newcommand{\Movie}[3]{\mbox{\pdfannot width #1 height #2 depth 0mm
{/Subtype /Movie /Title (#3) /Movie << /F (#3) /Poster true >> /A <<
/ShowControls true /Mode /Repeat >>} \hspace{#1} \rule[0cm]{0cm}{#2} } }
which takes as arguments the x dimension, y dimension and filename.
e.g.: \Movie{4in}{3in}{rosebloom.avi}
Sample files are available at:
http://ksk.topcities.com/movie.pdf
http://ksk.topcities.com/RoseBloom.zip (RoseBloom.avi, movie.tex)
You need “QuickTime” installed on your machine to see this pdf file in Acrbat reader. I would like your commends on this suggestion. Is there any better way of doing this?
Thanks
Satheesh
