Sorry if this is a newbie question, but here goes. I'm trying to get stated on the embedding Flash movies into PDFs, and I'm off to a decent, but somewhat confused start - I think mainly due to documentation be kind of scattered (at least for someone new).
Currently I can embed one SWF into a PDF; then use the security tools to Certify the document and save. However when I try to add a second SWF video (think before and after side-by-side) the document is simply "signed", not certified, and the viewer still gets the annoying security warning dialog. I've probably got a good deal of experimentation left before I give up; but I thought I'd ask and see if anyone knows if this is a real problem or am I just doing something dumb - p.s. I remember seeing a post on this forum yesterday saying something like "1 SWF per page", but I can't find it now, maybe I just misread something in my hast yesterday. Any help / advice would be welcome; thanks.
Technically you can have as many multimedia annots as you want on a page. I've seen PDFs with 10 or 20 on a single page. However, you may run into problems if you try to play them all at once.
Very little has been written about movies in PDF, but there is a book on multimedia in PDF by Bob Connolly. called Dynamic Media
