Adding a music bed to a pdf file?

[Pat Appleson]

Hi,  I have a client that is sending out emails and wants the PDF file, that's attached to the email to play music when you  click on it.

So you see the PDF page and also hear the music.  Can that be done???

Many thanks

You can embed an audio file in the PDF using the "Add Sound" tool in Acrobat:

Use it to draw a rectangle on the first page and then you'll see this window:

Select your audio file and then click on Show Advanced Options. Under "Enable When" select "The page containing the content is opened". That should be it...

Of course this only works for PDF viewers that support multimedia. Many don't (other than Adobe) on desktop systems and none support this on mobile (i.e. telephones and tablets) platforms.
