PDFs in QT Player -- Hot Links Challenge

[Sivakatirswami]

Goal: Show PDF's inside a Revolution QT player object with PDF  
hyperlinks clickable.

Tests so far, can someone confirm? (even better tell us how to do it)

1) Create PDF spread of two pages of a magazine, source is IDCS2,  
target format is Acrobat 7.0

2) open Rev, create player object, point the player to the PDF file..  
it appears... And, what is even better... on zoom in (scale up) the  
text looks really great!

3) Go back to IDCS2, hyper link a URL on the page. Output to PDF  
again.. check the PDF.. The hyperlink is working, it's hot, click and  
it will open the web site in acrobat, or your browser (your choice)

4) Go back to Rev. Point the player now to the PDF that has the  
hypertext link.

:-( player object goes blank...

OK ? is it QT or Revolution? Let's find out....

5) drop the PDF with hypertext link on QT Player... it opens...  
hyperlink is not there. But QT will at least show the file as a  
single movie frame.

6) back to Revolution, Toggle the filename of the player object between
     a) the same page/PDF  with no links: it appears in Revolution
      b) the same page with one hyperlink: player goes blank.

Conclusion: Revolution will not import the PDF with an embedded  
Hypertext link into a QT player object.

Our expectations for inter-application file format interoperability  
here are probably just "out of this world." so much so that to call  
this a bug would be unfair to the Revolution engineers... after all I  
don't ask Acrobat to make chocolate chip cookies and then find out it  
doesn't work and call tech support at Adobe.  But the trouble with  
Revolution is, it tends to give you this sense of "We can do anything  
we want."

I guess finding a way to map PDF hyperlinks to hot spots with linked  
URL in the QT player is asking a lot.. but I thought to pose this  
question to the forum of the more experienced. I have seen a few here  
some who seem to be deep into the PDF file format...

TIA
