USING ACROBAT 9 PRO
Multimedia and 3D models
Multimedia Trust preferences
Multimedia files within PDFs sometimes need additional resources to play. For example, some files require resources
from the Internet, such as a multimedia player. You can set trust settings to determine whether multimedia content is
allowed to use external resources.
• To set trust settings for playing content created with Acrobat 9, use Trust Manager preferences.
• To set trust settings for playing content created with earlier versions of Acrobat, use Multimedia Trust (Legacy)
preferences.
Both of these settings are available in the Preferences dialog box.

Multimedia Trust (Legacy)
In Multimedia Trust preferences, you can specify whether to play embedded multimedia files in trusted or nontrusted
PDF documents. A trusted document is a document that you or an author you trust has approved. By setting your
permissions to play multimedia only in trusted documents, you can prevent programs, macros, and viruses from
potentially damaging your computer.
The list of trusted documents and authors is stored internally and can't be viewed. If you add a certified document to
the list, both the document and the certificate of the author are added to the list of trusted documents. All documents
that this author certified are trusted. (Trusted documents also include PDFs from authors in your list of trusted
identities.)
In the Preferences dialog box, select Multimedia Trust (Legacy) from the Categories.
Choose to set permissions for either trusted documents or other (nontrusted) documents.
