As I stated in my pre-Christmas post about On this Short Day of Frost and Sun<\/em>, I have made a copy of the file with embedded sounds. For each of the poems, there is a recitation, often by the author of the poem. While inserting the soundfiles, I also corrected a few typographical errors in the original pdf.<\/p>\n

The resultant pdf file is very large \u2013 588 MB.\u00a0 Because of its size it is only available on my google drive:<\/p>\n

On this Short Day of Frost and Sun Text and Sound version 1.0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

I have not been able to download the file on my phone, and I think that it would too complicated to operate on a phone or a simple tablet. It should be downloaded onto a computer. Your browser may complain that the file is too large to check for viruses, but that you can \u201cdownload anyway.\u201d There are no viruses in the file.<\/p>\n

Once you have downloaded the file to your computer, it should be opened using\u00a0 Adobe Acrobat Reader (free to download.) If\u00a0 the file is opened in other pdf-reading programs, the file will either be rejected as too large, or the sound files won\u2019t work. For example, Google may automatically try to read the file using its Google-Doc programs but this will not work.<\/p>\n

In order to listen to the embedded sound files, you must set up the Adobe Reader to play multimedia files. To do this follow these steps:<\/p>\n

Edit > Preferences (bottom) > Multimedia & 3D (in menu)> tick box for Enable Playing of Multimedia & 3D content (topmost box). \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like its soundless cousin, the file is best viewed using a full-screen two-page viewing mode. To set this up in Adobe follow these steps:<\/p>\n

View > Page Display > Two Page View \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a screen-shot of what it looks like when it works.<\/p>\n
