Embed YouTube video using Acrobat DC?

[marianneb94639032]

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?

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

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.

I put a you tube "copy this video url" address into my PDF, but when I tried to play it from the PDF, you tube showed a picture of a monkey saying it was sorry but it couldn't do it.  It did give a search box in which you could put the title, which DID come up then... but does that mean it's futile to put any you tube links into any PDF document?
