Hi Kate,
This question seems to come up quite often, and the answer is always the same.
It can get a little confusing at times, especially when deadlines are looming
large, and all you want is a PDF.
Let my try and explain why you need to "Save as PDF" rather than Print.
The "Print to PDF" route is used to create a Print ready PDF that can be sent
for physical printing. It replaces your physical printer with the Adobe PDF
Printer or Distiller. A PDF thus created is closest representation of what the
document will look like when it is printed on paper.
If someone prints a document on paper, they don't expect a video to play when
you pick up the paper. Not yet, anyway. Same thing with Print to PDF.
The "Save to PDF" however creates an interactive PDF that is not explicitly
meant for printing, but for viewing on electronic devices. Audio, Video, 3D
models etc are included.
Thanks,
Vikrant

Kate,
Please use SaveAsPDF instead of printing. The rich media is embedded in PDF
only in SaveAsPDF route.

Subject: Printing rich media pdfs from FrameMaker 10
Hello, I am trying to print a rich media pdf from FrameMaker 10. I can import
the video file into FM and it will play but when I print to pdf, the video
comes out as a picture and playback is not possible. I have tried this with
lots of different file types - a .wmv, .mp4, .mov and .mp2 files all of which
are supported by FM 10 but none of which work.
Is there a setting that I have missed? Should I be saving the file to pdf
instead of printing? Any help would be much appreciated!
Kate
