Can anyone help me? I have the Dutch version, so i try to translate it. I'm trying to make a interactieve pdf wich includes a movie. When I import the movie and go to the Interactive "media' pallet, there is a Exclamation mark next to the box about immediately playing the movie. See image below.

 

This is what the warning says: interactive PDFs may not support playback buttons for audio and video files

Does anyone know how to solve this?

My standard advice is to give this up right now. Because there are so many PDF readers and devices, there is no reliable way to use multimedia in a PDF.

 

You need to re-think this project.

De waarschuwing is een standaard waarschuwing en alleen van toepassing wanneer je de checkbox aanvinkt (Afspelen ...).

Dat dan mogelijk de video/audio-controle-knoppen niet werken.

 

File > 'Publish Online' ondersteunt meer interactieve media dingen.

Je hebt dan alleen geen standalone pdf, maar iets wat online staat.

Any other suggestions are welcome...

Sorry, this project is doomed to failure. You should have researched it before you started.
