Because of the large amount of rich media in my pdf- users will need to open this with adobe reader 9.3 or later (maybe 9.0?). Assuming both Mac and PC users will be viewing this, and they have no internet connection. How can I link from my instructions page to AdbeRdr930_en_US.exe (or AdbeRdr930_en_US_i386.pkg for mac users) that will be included on the DVD-ROM. Are there any special instruction or code needed?
Is it possible to use a javaScript that will look for 9.3 or later in the users system and if not found return a "you need to upgrade to Reader 9.3 or later to properly experince this PDF" message and a prompt to install Reader 9.3 which is included on the disc? If so how what is that script?
Can we autorun the PDF file (keeping in mind the Reader check from above) in a PC and still have it available for mac users?
Can we customize the icon and or preview poster that would show up on someones desktop?
Can we run a "Please be patient while video loads" screen run once someone hits play?
The JS object you want to check is [b]app.viewerVersion[/b] - I can email you a sample if you want. Also, open Acrobat's JS concole (ctrl-J or CMD-J) and paste in
app.alert(app.viewerVersion);
select the line and press ctrl-ENTER or CMD-ENTER to run it.
