At work I would like to embed/attach a 1.5Mb WMV video clip into a PDF 
document, however I am not sure the best way of doing this.  I have Acrobat 
6 or 7 'Standard' installed on my works PC.

Ideally, I would like to embed it between text so that the recipients can 
click on it and it will play the video, but I don't think this is possible. 
Therefore, I am thinking of adding it as a file attachment to the PDF with a 
message in the text telling them that they can access the clip by going to 
file attachments.  So my questions are as follows:

1) Is there a better way to attach/embed the video clip other than to attach 
it to the PDF?

2) If I do attach it to the PDF, what is the minimum Acrobat Reader needed 
to view file attachments?


Cheers
