When trying to view an Interactive PDF with video embedded I get the following message 'This PDF cannot be viewed in Acrobat or Reader, and the application will now exit'. This only happens when I try to view a page in the PDF that has video embedded, I can view any other page in the PDF with no issues. This happens if I have created the PDF (from InDesign) or I try to open a PDF created by another person. Anyone having the same issue and any idea why this may be happening? I am on a MacBook Pro, macOS Mojave 10.14.4 Beta using the latest versions of Indesign and Acrobat DC.
Hey Fill32,
As shared, that this problem only appears when you try to view the pdf generated from InDesign. Have you tried any other pdf that has a video embedded in it but created using Acrobat or any other pdf creator? Does it work or play the video for you?

I know this is really old, but I just ran into this with Adobe Standard 2020 and Windows 11 22H2. I had this same issue with 3D rendering using AutoDesk PDFs. Plain old Adobe Reader would open them, but Standard would not. I went to Edit-->Preferences--> Multimedia & 3D and changed the Renderer Options-->Preferred Renderer: Software (in the drop down, mine was at DirectX 9). Reader also had "Enable playing of Multimedia and 3D content" unchecked. It then opened the file without a hitch, but I know this is for a different program so who know if it will also work in this case.
