I want to link from Acrobat to a certain place in an .mp3-file. How can I manage this?

Hello, recently I interviewed one of my kin. The result is a huge audio transkription in Word 2010 (which I converted to .pdf / Acrobat 10). Now I want people who read my audio transcription with biographical details about my father, whom I interviewed, to be able to jump to the spot in the interview record, where he says "in the year 1234 there happened blablabla", if there stands "in the year 1234 there happened, etc." in the PDF. The link shall be placed underneath the rownumbers at the left border of the document.

 

The problem: Until now I can only link to files like NiceAudioFile.mp3 or GreatInterview.wav or TheBestBiography.flac, but not to a certain time mark inside of it without the need to do a fast forward.

 

How can I manage it, that the mp3 opens up in the middle / at the end / anywhere I want it to?

 

Thank you for good advices in advance ...

 

Yours Holger

    • Insert the audio clip as a rich media annotation using the Multimedia>Add Sound tool in Acrobat
    • Create your link and on the Link Action area use "custom link".
    • In the popup which appears, open the Actions tab and choose "Multimedia operation (Acrobat 9 and later)"
    • Click add, and make sure your audio file is targeted.
    • On the bottom of the dialog choose "Seek to time..." and enter the time in seconds you wish to play from in the blank input field at the bottom
    • Click OK twice to close the dialogs.
