How To Embed Audio in a PDF

This video is for my fellow Full Sail Online students, and explains how to embed audio files into a PDF. You will need the Adobe Creative Cloud for this tutorial to succeed.

Several comments, sorry I haven't checked this. Life got me. Working through them now.

[Bizkaboom]

Well explained, Bob. One of the best, most thorough mini-tutorials I've seen. Keep up the great work.

Bob, THANK YOU!!! Even in 2021, this is relevant and saved me A LOT of time... GOD BLESS!!!

Thanks for this. Good to listen to someone who isn't annoying. I can't help thinking that Acrobat is a bit long-winded and anyone who has used the Kindle Create software - despite it's other limitations - will understand this.

Thanks so much for doing this video Bob! This is exactly what I was looking for.

[sybilmartinez]

Thanks for this info! Added theme song on credits page and back page to a comic book for a client.

I gotta say, I have no idea who Weird Al is. But I seriously enjoyed this tutorial.

Hi Bob. Thank you very much for the video. It solved my problem in adding an audio to my pdf file. I really appreciate it. I am just having a problem to share the file and make the audio work. It looks like the audio does not follow to the PDF. It only works on my computer. Have you had this experience? Thank you.

Helpful. Question: A reader does mouse enter, then mouse exit, and mouse enter again; on the second mouse enter, does the audio start afresh or pick up where it left off?

[alesandra]

Great tutorial thank you!!! It all works perfectly EXCEPT for when I export it! The mouse recognizes it's a button but nothing plays

VERY HELPFUL THANKS! ONE QUESTION, I AM IN THE PROCESS OF CREATING AUDIO CHILDREN'S BOOKS, HOW DO ALLOW A MUSIC WAV FILE PLAY TOGETHER WITH A SPEAKING AUDIO WAV FILE. SO SIMULTANEOUSLY?

[JACB]

Which "default" media player does Not pop up (become visible - as per your video example) when playing the sound file embeded in the PDF .... AND .... works for PDF's viewed/played/created on either windows or Mac machines?

[rosshart]

Please! Need help! Getting mad!

Audio button (!) added on page #1 of my PDF and audio starts. Fine. BUT STOPS as soon as I open next page of the same PDF, no matter what action starter I choose.
BUT I WANT THE FILE TO CONTINUE PLAYING when I open page #2 etc. Nowhere I can find a solution to this issue. Using the options audio-object or video-object doesn't help either. No clues in Adobe's help page too. Was easy to do in older Acrobat versions...

Is there a way to have a song play over multiple slides of a pdf? I have a film presentation that is nearly 40 pages and I want a particular song to start on the cover page and continue to play as the viewer is scrolling through the entire doc.

Sou brasileira e pessimamente sei inglês! Sua legenda muito me ajudou! Ainda assim vou precisar assistir mais uma trinta vezes, mas muito obrigada pela grande ajuda! Muito difícil achar um video como o seu, a maioria foi dentro do InDesigner, e muito menos sei mexer nele.

[awkward_sauce]

This is sooo helpful - but when I go to fill color to transparent, there is no transparent box to check... any suggestions of what I could do?

[ProntoSpanish]

This was perfect! Exactly what I needed. Thanks!!!

it's also a little inefficient in a way if you want to just draw a 4 on the softoor kick soft and theres all those empty sequencers on the
