This has been a maddening pull-your-hair-out reality with embedded videos in PDF files for years. I cannot understand why we still must suffer with this. Our workaround is to embed videos using Microsoft Word and then upload using DocSend. I'd much rather have a true PDF file with working embedded video but at least this workaround allows our clients to play the video as long as they have access to DocSend through their browser. -- *Mark A.

Respectfully, this should NOT be marked a "correct answer" as the workaround using an attachment that must be played with a default video player is a non-solution for us (as it is with others apparently). The primary problem (lack of an embedded video solution) remains a glaring deficiency that Adobe has apparently elected to simply not address. We deserve better. ... View more

Extraordinary and so disappointing to find this thread with absolutely NO indication that Adobe is doing anything about it. The abillity to share a document with embedded video is such a fundamental issue one would think Adobe would care about offering it. We want to provide short video excerpts from depositions embedded in court pleadings and are prohitibed from using any links or providing anything that requires court personnel to be on-line to view the video. Even if the cumbersome "turn off security settings and re-open" worked (which it DOES NOT in our current tests) it would be an unacceptable approach for the court.    It is 2024 and apparently it is impossible to provide embedded videos to the court in any workable form. So ironic that we WERE able to do this when Adobe still supported Flash video. Please do better Adobe. ... View more
