I would be delighted to open a rich media pdf that works as intended. Maybe I have just had very bad luck with the ones I have received in the past. I am also fairly wary of pdfs as they are one of the main ways to get a computer virus these days (windows of course). That’s the sysadmin hat on of course ;)

It can actually support videos too.

Of course there no reason why there can’t be a rich media version and one as a pdf wit just colour images.

Remember you can read pdfs in the ipad, and also on the droids.

The iBook creator is also incredibly easy to use. That being said not every one is in that boat. Would be a great reason to buy an iPad though ;) From: Jordi Bares <jordiba...@gmail.com<mailto:jordiba...@gmail.com>> Reply-To: "softimage@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage@listproc.autodesk.com>" <softimage@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage@listproc.autodesk.com>> Date: Tuesday 12 August 2014 at 11:53 AM To: "davidsa...@sfr.fr<mailto:davidsa...@sfr.fr>" <davidsa...@sfr.fr<mailto:davidsa...@sfr.fr>>, "softimage@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage@listproc.autodesk.com>" <softimage@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage@listproc.autodesk.com>> Subject: Re: SI and Houdini :-) Thanks. My intention is more about an eBook with rich media like the ones iPad can do, with video, interactive 3D if necessary, etc… does it work for you?
