Hello,

Is is possible in Acrobat 9 to embed both a SWF and XML file inside PDF and have the SWF read the data from the XML file?

Thanks,

Cool! Is there any documentation published that shows how to do this?

Thanks,

It's quite easily to do in the UI of Acrobat 9 and our documentation that ships with it will demonstrate everything you need to know (but you'll be able to figure it out for yourself!!)

Two questions on this:

Q1: Can you do this using Acrobat Professional 8.1.2, or only in 9?

Q2: What will happen when user opens the PDF file -- what do they need on their machine to use the swf file?

Thanks
