Adobe Acrobat Pro - Video Loop Not Working in Rich Media Playback
Hello,
I am trying to add a looping video inside an interactive PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro 2024.1, but the loop function is not working. Here’s what I have done so far:
✅ I exported an interactive PDF from InDesign (MP4 video embedded).
✅ I used "Add Rich Media" in Adobe Acrobat Pro to add the video.
✅ Playback Style is set to "Play Content in the Document" (not floating).
✅ "Enable When: The page containing the content is visible" is selected.
✅ Right-clicking the video does not show a loop option.
✅ I tried adding JavaScript via "Document JavaScripts" using this code:
function loop() {
var media = this.getAnnots({nPage: 0});
for (var i = 0; i < media.length; i++) {
if (media[i].type == "RichMedia") {
media[i].media.play();
media[i].media.loop = true;
}
}
}
loop();
Even after applying this, the video does not loop. It plays once and then stops.
💡 Questions:
- Is there any setting in Acrobat Pro that enables video looping?
- Is this a limitation of Acrobat, or am I missing a step?
- Could this be a version-related issue?
I would appreciate any insights or alternative solutions. Thank you!
