Can I download it somewhere? On MacOS it depends from QuickTime, on Windows I don't know (perhaps=20 try QuickTime).

You can't include them, you can only link to them (as like movies); I=20 heard you could include media files since PDF 1.5 (Acrobat 6), but=20 never tried. AFAIK all multimedia extensions work only with Acrobat (Reader) and not=20= with any other PDF viewer. > 4) Some JavaScripts work only under Windoze, not under Linux. Why? How=20= > can I fix that? Mr. Hagen's clock example, and Mr. Gundlach euro-anim=20= > example are just two cases. Adobe changed Acrobat's JavaScript implementation several times. And it=20= has/had different bugs/features in every edition. Acrobat 4 e.g. had a wrong or undefined state of some variables at=20 startup... Some things are rather strange: I tried to access user's settings (like=20= measure unit), but that's not possible, at least in Acrobat 5. > 5) Does Adobe still support Linux?

But there is a Distiller 6 Server for Linux. I guess they see Linux=20 mainly as a server platform. > 6) If I want to learn how to use JavaScript in the ConTeXt, what Adobe=20= > document should I read first?

You should know JavaScript "for Web" to=20 understand Adobe's docs. I started writing some simple extensions for Acrobat 5 some weeks ago=20 and didn't find much what I could use. Perhaps look at these: http://partners.adobe.com/asn/acrobat/docs.jsp#javascript http://partners.adobe.com/asn/webseminars/archive.jsp http://www.planetpdf.com http://www.pdfzone.com (Sorry, I will be off from tomorrow to end of September.)
