Hello!

Adobe Flash Player support has been discontinued. How do I now play a video embedded in a pdf file?

Actually it looks like you are missing an update or two. I currently have 2021.001.20138

Any resolution for this? I am faced with the same problem. I have a video embedded in a PDF, however some users I send it to get the following error. (See attached image). Others have to go through a bunch of steps for "trusting content." If the user double-click our PDF and it opens in a browswer it doesn't work at all either. Please help.

None of the information in that article addresses the problem. The article itself claims "Acrobat Pro supports .mp3, .mov, and other files encoded in H.264 (with AAC audio)." but when you attempt to embed a H.264 .MP4 into a pdf document it still trys to embed the SWF player file. Since Flash is EOL this doesn't function. Considering it was published in Nov 2020 well after the announcement of EOL for Flash, and the continued claim that embedded video is supported, I would also like to know what a workable solution is.

Thanks,
