How to create an interactive multimedia PDF

I want to create a supplemental downloadable, interactive multimedia PDF for my Kindle eBook.

What's the best way to include features such as GIFs and audio? Is there a link or list of best practices? 

Is it possible to create a drag and drop puzzle? 

Plus, I would like the user to answer questions by inputting text into multiple (9) chapter pages, then for all of those answers to be automatically populated into a 2-page PDF form in the conclusion. 

I would like users to be able to use the free version of Acrobat to edit the PDF. Thanks

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro, you can easily create an interactive multimedia PDF by adding buttons, links, forms, and multimedia content like audio and video. While the interactivity within a PDF is more limited compared to other formats (like web apps or eBooks), Acrobat allows for a variety of interactive and engaging elements that can enhance the user experience

Most of those things are not possible in PDF files at all, and the others will only work if the Kindle PDF viewer supports fields and scripts, which I'm not sure it does. I recommend you test that first, before putting any more time and effort into it.
