Thank you for your help, Peter. Since we have pretty large tables to display, we thought that maybe a pdf file would be a solution. The tables are indeed displayed perfectly in the pdf output in the tablets, but I was not able to embed videos into the pdf documents using DocBook. Is there any way to embed media for pdf output using DocBook? Thank you! Flavia
