I've got Acrobat X Pro and would like to create a PDF file that
contains a simple slideshow (in addition to text that doesn't change),
but I want that slideshow to be easily readable by people who have
Reader 8.  Acrobat X lets me embed videos of various formats, but the
resulting PDF files aren't easily playable unless the recipient of my
PDF file has Reader X as well.  I also don't want to assume that the
recipients of my PDF file already have Flash installed (or other
software beyond Adobe Reader).

Is there some way to do this?

Thanks,
Chris
