Video in a PDF

Download the PDF form, fill it out and either Fax it to us at (334) 821-5416 or email it to support@ipov.net with the subject "PDF in Video Purchase".

Video-in-PDF is an iPOV service that starts with a standard Word document and companion video clip(s), and merges them into a standard, run-anywhere PDF.

Open the PDF, click on the video icon and the embedded Flash movie pops up and plays. With everything self-contained, this type of documentation is perfect for organizations that use SharePoint or Lotus Notes.

Think of all the work instructions and SOPs for tasks that are easy to show, but nearly impossible to explain in English prose.

Combined, text and demonstration can finally tell the complete story.

Lots of choice in Multimedia

iPOV can work from a wide range of source media, including the ones listed below.

  • Screencast movies - Camtasia and BB Flashback
  • Most types of digital camera video - AVI, MP4, MOD, FLV, MPEG, MOV, WVM and many more
  • Many types of SWF Flash Animations
  • Most Audio Files

iPOV will convert the media to a standard Flash movie, package it in iPOV's advance Flash Player Control, and place place it in the finished PDF. The ability to work so many different media types and the ability to support advanced features like synchronized subtitles sets iPOV's video-in-pdf apart.

Multimedia even an IT manager can love.

No matter how strict the IT security policy, you're probably allowed to use PDF files. These documents work well with SharePoint or Lotus Notes. No additional server needed. No external links. Everything is totally self-contained in a single, familiar file. You can read more on the business criteria for this approach in this blog article and this whitepaper.

Deliver video to low tech recipients?

With iPOV Rich Media PDF, the recipient only needs a system with Adobe Reader 9.0 or above, Flash 9 ActiveX control, and a sound card if the vidoe contains an audio track! There's no need for a special viewer or plugin.
