Hi @Susana5EEC, Adobe Acrobat Pro (X and later) does allow embedding videos in PDFs, (MP4, MOV, and other formats). But the experience is not ideal and may differ depending on the viewer. The controls to play the video can be wonky, too. As others have confirmed, InDesign and Acrobat are not good for motion displays! You might consider PowerPoint as an alternative for displaying animated GIFs.

This is true: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/rich-media.html

Hey @JR Boulay, unless my wording is incorrect, it works for me: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/rich-media.html

Sorry, it's a mistake, I'd understood it the wrong way round (English is not my native language).

I've corrected the message.

PDF does not support animated GIF or any other type of animation for that matter. Whatever you're trying to do, you're not going to be able to do it with InDesign and PDF.

This is not true, you can animate a PDF, but this requires some knowledge : https://www.abracadabrapdf.net/pdf-de-demo/multimedia-pdfs-de-demo/pdf-anime/

Come on, JR. You know better than anyone that "some" knowledge is a deep understatement.

It is not possible to animate gif files in InDesign.
I strongly recommend not to use gifs (or even png) in InDesign. If you need files with transparency, use psd or pdf.

The PNG format is stable, tried and tested and works very well in InDesign.

But png has only a limited transparency model, pdf, tiff and psd are better alternatives and png can only support rgb.
