Hi all, From FrameMaker 13.02.433, I cannot produce PDF with embedded MP4 if the documents are imported by reference.Both the Save As PDF, and Print (to .ps, using the Adobe PDF print driver) options fail.Save As PDF hangs (whether or not it might process eventually, I kill the process after 15 minutes)Print (to .ps) yields the poster in the PDF, but no ability to activate the MP4.Stefan, is this a bug, or am I missing something?-Matt

Trouble embedding MP4 when converting to PDF

Hi all,

From FrameMaker 13.02.433, I cannot produce PDF with embedded MP4 if the documents are imported by reference.

Both the Save As PDF, and Print (to .ps, using the Adobe PDF print driver) options fail.

Save As PDF hangs (whether or not it might process eventually, I kill the process after 15 minutes)
Print (to .ps) yields the poster in the PDF, but no ability to activate the MP4.

Stefan, is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Thx, I just ended up copying directly into doc and producing.

I'll revisit when I run across it again!

I produced the MP4 with ScreenFlow, which posts well to Vimeo and YouTube.

Hi Matt,

I just recoded a small video with captivate, published as mp4, referenced the mp4 in a FrameMaker document, assigned a poster image to the video and saved it as a PDF. Worked like a charm. I tried multiple PDF settings (tagged, untagged, multiple joboptions, RGB vs CMYK), but could not produce any problems regarding this.

Maybe this is related to a encoding (H.264 / H.265 etc. / Audio Encoding (AAC, MP3, MP2 etc.)? How is your mp4 encoded? How did you create it? And: How big is is? Did you als try it with a smaller one?

Suggestion: Record a small video (just a minute or so) with Captivate and try again with a new document. Does the error still happen?

Cheers,

*Stefan.
