00:09You can easily add in flash animations inside of a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.
00:16In order to do that, I'm going to go into Ritz Media section right here.
00:20If you don't find Ritz Media on the right, you can go to Tools and you can see that there's
00:25Ritz Media right here, so you can access it from there.
00:27And over here, you have an option to add an SWF.
00:31For that, I'm going to get my SWF from Adobe Animate file.
00:35So you can also see my Adobe Animate lesson over onto my YouTube playlist and learn more about this software.
00:44So over here, I have a simple animation.
00:46So let me export this.
00:48I'm going to go to File.
00:49I'm going to export this as a movie.
00:53So let me export this as a movie.
00:55And I'm going to export this as an SWF movie.
00:58So which is a flash movie format, a vector format.
01:01So I'm going to go into desktop.
01:03And over here, I'm going to export it as test SWF.
01:07Let me just save this out.
01:08So I've exported my movie.
01:10So I'm going to go back onto my Acrobat Pro.
01:13And over here, you can see that there's an option for me to add an SWF object.
01:18So let me click on that.
01:20And over here, it gives me an area where I can draw this out.
01:24So I'm going to say I'm going to keep it over here.
01:27And it asks me to select a file.
01:29So let me click on Browse.
01:30And over here onto my desktop, here's my file.
01:33I'm going to open this up.
01:34I can also see advanced options right here.
01:37So I'm going to enable when this content is clicked.
01:40Basically, this is a video file.
01:42Like a video file, a vector video file.
01:44So it doesn't pixelate.
01:46And you can choose the enabling and discipling options right here.
01:51Also the playback style, play content on pace.
01:53I'm just going to leave everything into default.
01:55Let's say I don't want border for this.
01:58And I want a transparent background for this.
02:01Over here, you can also pass the context menu.
02:04And SWF, you can add in these features if you want to.
02:07And work with the resource as well.
02:09So I'm just going to leave everything onto the default.
02:12And I'm going to press OK.
02:13Once I do that, the SWF animation file will be imported.
02:18As you can see right here, it is right there.
02:21And you can click to activate this.
02:22So once you click it, you can see that the animation actually plays.
02:27But for this to be enabled, Flash Player should be installed on your system.
02:31So there you can see that the animation plays.
02:35So if you want to stop this out, you can right click.
02:37And you can disable content.
02:39And it will go back.
02:40So play it.
02:40And there you go.
02:42So let me just disable the content.
02:44And you can see that I can enable the content as well.
02:46So that actually plays out as well.
02:49I'm not going to leave this one.
02:50So I can right click.
02:52I can view this in a floating window as well where the animation is placed.
02:56And you can see that the background is transparent.
02:58You can also right click on this.
03:00And go to full screen mode.
03:02So everything is there.
03:03And since this is a vector file, you can see that the edges is quite crisp clear.
03:08You can right click, disable the content, and it will go back to normal.
03:11So that is how you can import SWF file that is Flash animation files inside of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.
