I have created a PDF and edited to include Rich Media in Acrobat. Simply put I have a "play graphic" within a the PDF artwork over which I have added a Rich Media button. The button's action set the action to play an audio file on Mouse Down. Audio file is a short WAV file. Audio plays correctly within Acrobat; though, when I open/view the PDF in Chrome it does not have the desired effect (playing audio) when I mouse down the button. Is this Chrome's internal PDF reader/viewer? Could I export this PDF in another way to allow for Rich Media to be played?

The Chrome PDF viewer, and many other 3rd party viewers, don't support most interactive PDF features.

You could force the PDF to be downloaded by adding the "download" attribute to the PDF link.

This might force it to open in the system default viewer (not guarenteed to be Reader).
