Having difficulty playing videos embedded in PDF

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project for work where I'm attempting to embed video in iPad-friendly PDFs. I have no problem embedding them and they run fine in Acrobat on the PC, but outside of that nothing else works. I read the explanation on attaching the video files to the PDF, but even that didn't work. Is this even possible, or is there possibly a different program that can make it work? I'd appreciate any help you guys can offer!
Thanks

Hi wag5,
Thank you for posting on the forums, Acrobat would embed the video in the document but uses the relevant application to run it.
However, what is the actual behaviour, Please use the latest version of the Reader and then test the same.
Thanks,
Vikrantt Singh

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

  • Adobe Reader for Android to play video embedded in a PDF document.

    I am a medical  teacher. A large part of my teaching is technical and skills based and I have a lot of teaching video material. I distribute my material to my students as PDF documents with embedded videos. They can presently only read this on their PCs. It would be wonderful if I could place that material in a 7 inch Android tablet in their coat pockets. They could review a "how to"  video and text immediately before perfoming a medical procedure.  It is so easy and fast to prepare a Word text document, convert it to PDF embedded with a simple cropped video clip. Also the original word document can be updated in moments and be converted into  a fresh PDF with video in a minute later to replace the one on the student computer or tablet whenever. This makes the teaching material a living text easy to keep permanently up to date. To date I have not managed to find an eReader or Tablet that that I could play an video embedded in a PDF document. The problem is Adobe Reader for Android doesn't do this. Does anyone know of any other easy way to produce documents with embedded video that can also be read on a pocket size tablet or eReader?  Is Adobe going to upgrade Adobe Reader for Android to this ability sometime? Is there any other PDF reading app that can play embedded video?

    GoodReader ($4.99), ezPDF Reader ($2.99) and PDF Expert ($9.99) are well rated and support many more features.

  • Having issues playing videos after the latest update

    After the latest update for ITunes, I am having issues with some of my videos.  Some of my videos will play while others in attempting to play them will play back choppy, at times the picture will freeze and then all at once the video will start fast forwarding to catch up to where it should be, and then at other times the video will cut out intirely, the screen will be completely black without the control areas in the top right corner or the center of the bottom of the screen even being visible.
    Have been unable to watch a large number of my TV series, and movies.

    Try playing videos directly in Quicktime:
    1.) Open Quicktime
    2.) Click File > Open File
    3.) Navigate to your iTunes folder
    4.) Movies are in iTunes\Movies\, TV in iTunes\TV Shows\, podcasts in iTunes\Podcasts
    5.) Select a video and open it
    6.) Watch in awe as Quicktime plays it perfectly, full screen option is in the View menu BTW.
    iTunes 10.7.0.21 is a disaster.

  • Difficulty playing videos on computer.

    Hi. I have a treo pro and am experiencing difficulty playing recorded videos on my computer. When I attempt to open a video file this is what appears: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
    I tried downloading VLC media player and it was able to play my videos but cannot detect any audio.
    Has anyone encountered this problem before?
    Any input would be very much appreciated.

    It should be able to play any file your device should be able to put out. IDK about what format Palm's software saves it as, but the 8125's WM5 saves it as .mp4, which is playable by TCPMP.

  • Having issues playing videos texted to me.  They always worked before.

    I was always able to play videos texted to be, but for some reason all I get now is "This movie could not be played".  It will not play even when sent from another Iphone.  Anyone have any ideas? 

    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.

  • I just recently got a new laptop and transfered everything over and it seemed to be ok but now having issues playing videos and can't edit any of my song info in music files

    I just got a new laptop so I had to transfer everything over and I thought everything would be ok but I'm having some strange issues especially with my purchased tv shows, movies, and music videos. They just wont play. Sometimes I'll get lucky and a tv show will play but if I stop it and try again it wont. If I open in Quicktime it works fine. The computer is authorized so that shouldnt be it especially if it plays in QT and like I said sometimes I'll get lucky and one will play. Now the other thing I just noticed is all my music files play fine but when opening and looking at the info of the music file I can't edit anything for example song title or artist the area seems shaded and won't let me do any editing. So I'm having those 2 issues. Video files not playing ones that I have purchased. movies, tv shows and music videos. Also like I said if I just sit there and click one after another I may get lucky and one will play but if I stop it and try again it will not play again. And I can't seem to edit any music file which play fine. I have a new Dell with windows 7 and I have never had this happen any help would be great. The computer is authorized for i tunes so it cant be that.

    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library.

  • Playing video in Interactive PDFs

    When I embed a video (.mp4, .flv, etc) and export to an interactive PDF in Indesign, I keep getting asked to download the newest version of Flash player (which I already did) and the video won't play. Any suggestions?

    Are you playing the video in Acrobat? If so, I'd ask in the Acrobat forums. It's not really an InDesign issue.

  • How can i control a video embedded in pdf while viewing in adobe digital edition. is it possible?

    I have a pdf file of 10 pages - in 2nd page of pdf there is video, I can control this video (play, pause, stop etc.) in Adobe Acrobat 9, but when we are opening this pdf in Adobe Digital Edition - Controls goes Hidden,  and we are not able to control the video. Is there any way to control the vedio?

    Hi,
    It should be checking the Course on basis of the User Access i.e. whether the slides have been viewed fully or not as well as if there is a quiz has the user successfully completed it or not. So, in case of a video only slide views would be checked and passing criteria will depend on it

  • My android tablet won't play videos in a PDF after downloading from flash archive

    I downloaded an interactive PDF and there is a video on the last page that won't play on my tablet, but plays on my computer. I downloaded the latest version of Flash from the adobe archives, as well as an updated reader. Any ideas on what I can do to make the video play?

    You cannot use Flash content in PDFs on Android, even if you manage to install the obsolete Flash for Android from somewhere. It just isn't supposed to work.
