embedded movie in PDF does not play on iPhone & iPad . It only plays if Acrobat reader is installed . How can I fix this ?

hi everyone ,

The document is fin in indesign, but once exported it requires an acrobat reader .

This works on my iMac, but not on any other devices .

Even on the iMac, the interactive PDF must be opened via acrobat .

If watched by preview it does not work.

Does anyone know hoe to fix this ?

Alternatives to PDF you might consider are: Fixed Layout ePub, InDesign's Publish Online and in5 Export HTML5 from InDesign with in5 - Home

Each format has advantages and disadvantages – as you've discovered!

Most PDF viewers don’t do multimedia. You cannot change this and nor can Adobe.
