Inserting Multimedia Comments - Adobe ACROBAT 9 HOW-TOS Manual

Keep It in View
If you delete one of the
automatically generated
views inserted when you
place a comment on a
model, the associated com-
ments are still available. You
can view and select them in
the Comments panel or in
the Model Tree, where they
are listed under the views.
Selecting a comment
switches the 3D model to the
same viewing configuration
it had when the comment
was added.
3D comments behave in
different ways, depending
on how you add them, and
where:
•
Comments added using
the 3D Comment tool are
associated with the view
displayed when you add
the comments. If the view
is changed, the comments
are no longer visible.
•
If you don't want a com-
ment to be associated
with a 3D view, add the
comment outside the 3D
object area.
•
A new view is added to
the Model Tree when you
add 3D comments to the
default view of a model,
called 3DcommentView.

Trying to identify a specific location in a model or movie in writing can
be difficult, not to mention time-consuming. With Acrobat 9, those days
are gone. Now, you can add comments to individual video frames or a
particular 3D object view. Adobe Reader users can add comments to a
PDF if the document is enabled for commenting. Adding comments to 3D
model views requires version 7.0.7 or later of Acrobat or Reader.
Note
For a general overview of working with comments, check out Chapter 10,
"Commenting in a PDF Document. "
To add a comment to a video, use the tools on the Comment & Markup
toolbar. Play the video, and pause the playback where you want to
comment. Add the comment to the frame.
The comments are shown in the Comments List like any other sort of
comment. Select the comment in the Comments List to display the video
frame with the comment automatically (Figure 101a).
Figure 101a Acrobat shows the video frame automatically when you choose the
comment.
Adding comments to a 3D model is a bit more involved than com-
menting in a video or movie. Instead of adding a comment to a frame as
in a movie, you coordinate the information in the model with settings in
the Model Tree pane. Read about the changes made in the Model Tree
when you add comments in the sidebar "Keep It in View. "
