The app I'm designing has a lot of PDF documents, and each one has it's own background audio. However, I can't seem to find a setting that allows autoplay or disables it. At the moment, as soon as that page is opened in the app, the audio automatically starts, but I would like to give the user the option to play the audio or no whilst browsing through the PDF file. Is that possible. Awesome site by the way, I've been coding for the last 6 years in c++, and didn't really want to spend time learning objective-c, so your site it just the thing I needed!!!

Can you resave the pdf without the audio and then upload the audio and give the option to play with or without? Just a thought.

Thanks for the quick reply by the way.

Will have a think in the AM and if nobody else joins in we'll see what we can figure out. Comments Hey. Not ignoring you, out and about in town.
