Andreas, thanks for clarifying this. It makes perfectly sense (shame on me for not understanding it in the first place!). As far as the feature request for poppler-glib is concerned, it seems to me that the implementation is already on the to do list of poppler library developers [1]: [...] | * glib frontend: | - Sound/Movie actions support [...] [1] https://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/tree/TODO Or am I misinterpreting this to do list entry? Maybe they just need some more motivation to implement it sooner, rather than later: I would strongly encourage you to file the feature request! Perhaps you will even manage to help them in getting this feature implemented... -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare!
