Leveling Up RichMedia in PDFs
The potential for audio- and video- RichMedia content in PDFs has proven challenging. This video provides an overview of the current state of multimedia in PDFs, what’s missing in the current RichMedia specification, and ideas to solve this issue.
Back in September, our Senior Solutions Architect Patrick Gallot delivered presentations at PDF Days Europe, coordinated and hosted by the PDF Association in Berlin, Germany. The first of these presentations, titled “Leveling Up RichMedia” is available for viewing below.
Leveling up RichMedia
Unlocking the Audio and Video potential of RichMedia
Description: The RichMedia Annotation has been embraced by the 3D PDF community for moving forward with PDF 2.0; but exploiting the potential for Audio and Video RichMedia Content has proven more challenging. We will discuss the several generations of embedded multimedia mechanisms in the PDF specifications, the current (sad) state of multimedia support in the PDF world, what’s missing in the current RichMedia specification before outlining how to fix these issues and the business/use-case for better multimedia support in PDF.
