USING ACROBAT 9 PRO EXTENDED 346 Editing PDFs • Player List Click Add to specify a player and the settings that are required, preferred, or disallowed to play the video clip. Select the name of the player, the minimum version number of the player, and the status. If you set the status of more than one player to Required, only one of the required players may be used to play the rendition. If you set the status of players to Preferred, these players are selected over nonpreferred players (but not over required players). If you set the status of players to Disallowed, they are not used to play the rendition. Playback Location Use this tab to determine whether a video clip is played in the PDF, remains hidden while played (recommended for sound clips), is played in a floating window, or is played full screen. When Floating Window is selected, you can add a title, set the window position, and let the user resize or close the window. Note that the user's preference settings may require (or ignore) title bar text for playback. The window position is determined relative to the document window, application window, or, for dual-monitor configurations, the virtual desktop or primary desktop. You may also specify the width and height of the floating window. Click Get From Media to obtain the video clip's dimensions, if available, and then edit as necessary. System Requirements Use this tab to choose the minimum settings for systems on which the video clip is played. For example, you can require that a user have at least a 1024-by-768 screen resolution to play the video clip. For options such as Play Dubbed Audio, you can select Either, Disabled, or Enabled. If you select Either, you defer to the settings in the user's Multimedia panel of the Preferences dialog box. If you select Disabled or Enabled, the corresponding setting in Multimedia preferences must allow the rendition to be used. For example, if the Play Dubbed Audio option is enabled, the rendition may be used only if the Play Dubbed Audio preference option is selected. Playback Requirements Use this tab to select which attributes are required for the rendition to be played. The attributes on this tab include settings from the other tabs, letting you indicate which ones are required. For example, if you set the volume to 50% in the Playback Requirements tab, and you don't want the rendition to be played unless this volume level can be used, make sure the Required box next to Volume is selected. Set multimedia properties for legacy media When you add legacy multimedia content to a PDF, several multimedia properties are available for compatibility with earlier versions of Acrobat. You can specify properties for Acrobat 6.0 compatible multimedia files and Acrobat 5.0 compatible multimedia files. For example, you can specify the appearance of a video play area, and whether the video plays once or continuously. The compatibility version you choose determines the features that are available to you. For example, to include alternate renditions with a multimedia file, choose Acrobat 6.0 compatibility.
