A client wants an Interactive PDF (Rich Media), but wants it to work on his BlackBerry. Has anyone accomplished this?

Thanks,

Currently only the desktop versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat provide support for rich media extensions of PDF, as they require software with Flash integrated into the UI, and suitable graphics hardware.

It may happen one day, but not until mobile devices get a lot more capable.

Also Adobe does not make a Reader product for all PDA's. And many PDA PDF readers also do not support Acrobat JavaScript. The Acrobat JavaScript has a special run time library that provides support for the standard fomats and simplified calculations, etc, so not all reader applictions even on a computer cah support form calculations or other JavaScript actions.
