The ability to use and manipulate media increases with every new version
of Acrobat, and Acrobat 9 is certainly no exception. If you are working
with Acrobat 9 Pro Extended in Windows, the PDFMakers in Word and
PowerPoint contain new commands that allow you to embed a Flash
movie in FLV (Flash video) format. As part of the installation, Acrobat also
installs 3D ActiveX controls in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel that let you
insert a 3D model into your source file.
To embed a movie in a source Office file, follow these steps:
1. Display the page or slide where you want to embed the movie.
2. Choose Adobe PDF > Embed Video and Convert to Flash Format, or
click Video to Flash on the Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar to display
the Insert Video dialog.
3. Click Browse to locate and select the video you want to use. You’ll see
the video in the Preview area (
Figure 14a
).

for the embedded video.

tion, or leave the default,

ment’s folder.
