HELP HELP!

I have a project where we are authoring a movie on DVD. The client also insists on having an adobe acrobat file of the book on the disc as well. How the heck you do that? I'm using the latest Encore DVD authoring software and don't see any way to do that.
I'm guessing I need to burn an Image file or whatever its called and then use another program like Neo to make a data disc and add the image file and the data file both onto the same disc? Something tells me that still isn't easy.

HELP !!!

Thanks
 
Encore has supported burning DVDs with additional content for access when the DVD is used from a computer since Adobe first released the software. It still works normally from a set top box but can have any kind of additional content as well which is available when the DVD is loaded into a computer.

Since you're using the latest version, just put the PDF(s) your client wishes to add to the DVD in the folder of your choice and tell Encore to use that folder as its DVD-ROM folder. (File>Select DVD-ROM Folder...)

Ok thanks I will give that a try. Since I am creating a folder containing the PDF on my computer hard drive, then I assume we are talking about burning an image disk to the same folder/drive. Not authoring straight to a DVD disc first. Correct?

EDIT: Oh I see now. I tried it. Created a folder on my desktop and put the PDF in there. Then in encore did File>Select DVD-ROM Folder as you suggested. But I simply just burned a disc and the file was on it. Cool! Thanks !

DVD players should ignore all files in the root folder of any DVD. All it looks in is the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders.
