I am using the multi-media functionality of adobe acrobat to put links and media into pdfs. The problem is when I send these pdfs to mac users, acrobat 4 mac doesn't open the file by default? Is there anyway I can program that inside my original document? Or, some other work around? I have run several tests and only mac reader opens the pdf and all of the links, multi-media are useless...

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

Try this. Click Advanced, Document Processing, Document JavaScript. Enter a name for this script - eg. CheckVersion then place this code into the window.

if (app.viewerVersion < 5) {
app.alert("You must have Acrobat Reader 5.0 or later to use this form.")
this.closeDoc(true)
}

This code will check the users Reader version, display an alert dialog, and close the form/document. You can change the number in app.viewerversion and the app.alert message to meet your needs.
