Is it possible to make an Interactive PDF with a video that can be played when the PDF is exported? It doesn't work for me, when i follow Adobe's guide

    Embedding videos into a PDF for distribution no longer works now that Flash has been dropped. The workaround is to include a hyperlink to an external website – such as YouTube – that hosts the video (or, alternatively, use HTML5 with something like InDesign's Publish Online or in5).

      There are far too many 3rd party readers to make this a viable idea. My advice is to not even try.

      in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

       

      p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
