Error when putting in rich media-PDF

Report · Dec 09, 2020

I wanted to put in a video on my pdf page and I was told that this was able when I used the "rich media" tool. But when I put the video in and try to play it, the program shuts off by its self.

Also have a problem of making an interactive pdf from indesign. It doesn't work in any way

Hi there,

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described the application is crashing when trying to play the video in the PDF file.

- What is the version of the Adobe Acrobat DC and the OS you are using? To check the version of thr applicatoin go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure youhave the latest version installed. Go to Help > Check for Updates

- Is this a behavior with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs with Video? Please try with a different PDF file and check.

Please try to repair the installation from the help menu (Windows Only) and reboot the computer once and check if that helps.

If it still doesn't work please try to urn off the protected mode for testing (Windows Only) Go to Edit > Preferences > Enhanced Security > uncheck 'Enable protected mode at startup' Turn off the protected mode and uncheck the enhanced security > Click OK and reboot the computer.
Note: Please turn on the security after testing to avoid security risks.
