Hello,

I am working on making a PDF that can include embedded videos and links. It looks like I should be able to do this in DC but when I ad a web address (I have tried various sites including YouTube ad Vimeo) the program tells me that there is no file listed. I am able to upload video from my computer with no problem? Does this software not work for online content? I really need to be able to include embedded YouTube content for this project. Is there another version of Acrobat that can do this?

    You won't be able to embed YouTube or Vimeo content in your PDF files. Your best bet is to just create links to the content so it opens in the browser.

    Embedded video in Acrobat requires direct access to the video file itself, which YouTube doesn't provide.

        This is the error message that I get anytime I enter a URL.
