I've been trying to parse an screen annotation that references a file on a pdf file, and i'm not being able to somehow get a grip on the stream. Things that should be there, like the EmbeddedFiles array or the Dests dictionary are not there. I generated the pdf with adobe acrobat pro 9 with compatibility with reader 6 or higher in order to avoid the flash video mandatory conversion.
this is the test pdf I'm using.
The code snipped parsing this bad boy is
CGPDFStringRef aTitle; // title is optional property.
if (!CGPDFDictionaryGetString(annotDict, "T", &aTitle)) {
#if DEBUG
NSLog(@"PDFScrollView parseScreen -> screen annot has no title");

return;

My idea is to get the file stream, save it to a temp file and play it as adobe devs do with the adobe SDK.
Thanks in advance
