Need help on Accessing PDF's and Data Partitions using DVDSP at DVinfo.net

I need to create a video DVD that will play back in a regular player and my client wants to also distribute PDF's on the same DVD.

I've done this before by making a dual partition DVD by burning with Toast and have a data section.

I'm pretty sure this isn't possible but my question is... is there any way to make the PDF's available through the DVD menu area? For example, create a menu item that will open the PDF's and allow you to print without leaving the DVD player application on the computer.

Thanks.

AFAIK, no way to make that possible. But if they're looking at it on a computer anyway, accessing the PDF file from the DVD disc is already just a few clicks away.
