Version: 0.8.80 (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources I encountered a really "strange" pdf. One of the problems I see is that the authors of the pdf say there is a background music, that I can listen while reading the pages. Does okular support this "multimedia" pdf? I can pass you the pdf but 1) it's really a "beast" of 109Mb 2) I'm not really sure about its legality (it's a fan manga scanlation) ps: for the record, adobe acrobat it's supposed to support audio via plugin / external media player, but the necessary plugin it's not present for linux (http://www.adobe.com/special/acrobat/nomediaplayer.html)
Yes, Okular (or better, Poppler) supports some kind of multimedia. Of course, without the document there's nothing to do, I'm afraid.
If you have no problems, the link to download the file is http://www.vazcomics.org/bbf/downloads.php?cat_id=77&download_id=507
Managed to download it. Looks like it is using the Rendition annotation to play audio/mpeg data. (PDF 1.7, Table 8.64 and Section 9.1.2 onwards). Interestingly, podofobrowser had problems with the embedded stream.
Ideally there would be high quality text to speech integrated into documents. I imagine that is a long way off as text to speech on Linux is generally extremely poor.

Please keep the comments to bug reports relevant to the bug report itself; this is not your first example of derailing from the topic of the bug report.
