Media 

• PDF files
• PDF file size must be as small as possible. 
• Insert links in your PDF or provide the URLs and linking instructions (i.e., link the logo to xyz.com) and we'll put the links in the file for you.
  

Rich Media Elements 

Rich Media Elements are layered over static content. A PDF of the full background page is always required because if the appropriate plug-in for the RME is not available only the static content will display. Avoid placing Rich Media Content at the right edge for right-read pages and left edge for left-read pages. RME may not span across multiple PDF pages such as spreads. NO STREAMING MEDIA.

Rich Media File Formats

• Animation: Flash Player version 5 or lower - All links within the Flash file must be full path (e.g. http://www.currencytradermag.com/index). The .swf file must be self-containing. Avoid actions such as "Load movie" that call to other files.
• Audio: MP3 - Encode using 96 kilobits-per-second and above, using stereo mode and with constant bit-rate on.
• Video: MPEG1 (.mpeg/.mpg) - Encode using resolution around 352x240 at 350 kilobits-per-second and above. The audio section should be done at 96 kilobits-per-second and above, using stereo mode and with constant bit-rate on.
