Hi,
I am trying to create an interactive PDF presentation, including embedded audio -- but need a workaround to get the professional results I want.
What I want to do use Acrobat's Audio Comments tool, record some audio, and then source that embedded audio file on my Mac, so i can import it as a regular audio file.
This will enable me to use Acrobat's Sound Tool, which would give me proper control over how the audio is triggered and what audio icon I can use in my PDF (the Audio Comment icons are ghastly).
The trouble is, I can find no information on where Acrobat stores the audio comments it creates on my Mac. I've tried looking in Acrobat's Package contents but can see nothing.
I've also tried searching on the description that I give the audio comments, but I don't think Acrobat uses this as a file name, because it does not show up on a system search.
Any help you can give gratefully received.
Where does Acrobat store audio comments?

Audio comments are embedded in the PDF - within the annotation object - as binary streams (the recording format is WAV in Windows, AIFF in Mac, but data is flate-compressed). There is no tool in Acrobat to extract an embedded audio comment into an external *audio* file.

Thanks for this. I'd actually given up, and have been using Garageband to record audio, and import as mp3 into Acrobat -- this way you get great control over audio quality.
