Working with content in interactive containers
You can work interactively with PDF, audio, and video files in an interactive container. For example, you can scroll through the pages of a PDF file, zoom in and out, and copy text.
You can drag a file from Windows Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac OS) into an interactive container. If you drag multiple files, only the first file is inserted in the field.
