More Ways to Improve Your PDFs with FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers/Assistants

13  Add bookmarks/links to movies and audio files (embedded or referenced)

Movies can help demonstrate complex subjects, illustrate processes, reach non-verbal learners, and overcome language barriers. Apart from conventional movies such as a video demonstrating a part replacement, movies can be used to:

  • dynamically demonstrate on-screen processes (instead of only displaying static screen captures)
  • actively engage the readers in viewing an object or a location in a "virtual reality" movie
  • present slide shows (sequential display of multiple static images in the same page area)
  • run animations

Using TimeSavers shortcuts, you can add links/bookmarks (in FrameMaker) pointing to movies available locally or stored in web sites. The linked movie can be played in a floating window or in a specified location on the page. Movie controller is optional (a custom controller can be added); movies can be activated automatically when the page is entered.

With TimeSavers+Multimedia Assistant (Acrobat 6 or higher), you can embed or link (local or web-based files) multimedia files in FrameMaker files using hypertext markers.
