Organize PDF files in iTunes
You know what I am curious about. Since iTunes is just a databse, wouldn't it be nice to be able to organize movies on it as well? I mean I've tried it before and you can import them, and sometimes even hear the audio but it'd be cool to be able to open them from iTunes. Or it'd be even nicer if Apple took the route of Windows Media Player and made iTunes able to play videos. i think that'd be something interesting for Apple to work on.
PDFs are also QT movies
I suspect that's the reason iTunes accepts PDFs so readily. It has special handling for MP3 files, but for everything else it just uses Quicktime. So it accepts anything that QT thinks is a movie. As it turns out, QT thinks that PDFs are movies! Although you can't drag a PDF to QT Player's icon, you can open it from the file menu. (Ahhh, of course, we've covered this before, as it turns out: Open PDFs in Quicktime Player for Faster Viewing)
Still, the fact that double clicking opens Preview suggests that they added some specific PDF handling code in there.
PDFs are also QT movies
I suspect Bono had something to do with this ;) The PDF "Digital Booklet" available with the U2 box set at iTMS is the first of its type. Brilliant work by the iTunes Guys. Accommodating PDFs is quite a boon with considerable ramifications. Now, get iPod to display PDFs! I also suspect that iTunes as a (limited) movie player is not far off. |
