How to Convert Flash to PDF
In a Web 2.0 era where content and media sharing is the trend, Flash has become one of—if not, the main media platform being used to watch Flash videos on the web. Not surprisingly, the PDF format has caught on and Flash is now natively supported within Adobe Reader and Acrobat.
With Acrobat 9 Pro, you have a basic Flash to PDF converter you can use to insert the Flash file and boost your PDFs with live demos, video recordings, and media rich related content.
To add multimedia Flash into PDF files:
Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
Go to Tools>Multimedia>Flash Tool.
Select the area where you want the video to appear by double-clicking or dragging a square on the page.
Within the Insert Flash dialogue, either add the URL in the Name field or use Browse to find the media file. Click on OK.
You can then choose to set a Poster Image frame, the still image displayed on the page. You can choose which frame is displayed by moving the slider. Click on Set Poster Image from Current Frame to set it.
Then click on the Show Advanced Options box to configure specific settings. There will be 3 panels. Here you can customize your Flash video. For example, in the Launch Settings panel you can choose how the video will appear on the page and how it gets activated.
In the Controls panel, select the type of player skin you want for your video. The Video panel will give you options on setting chapter points in your video.
Once everything is set, click on OK.
