Aug. 29/2021 Update: I was informed recently that video will work in Interactive PDF so long as you have the most updated version of Adobe Acrobat. I tested this, and yes it does work. However, I didn't have any video control options so I wasn't able to pause, stop or resume the video in the PDF. I still encourage to use a different export option (Publish Online, EPub) but if you need PDF, just note that it will work with the latest version of Acrobat with limited control options. Best of luck!
Hi Angelo, new subscriber! I love your tutorials, I am just getting in the world of interactive publications and I see that you have tons of cool stuff. I really loved your tutorial on HTML5 and Flipsnack, cause last year I had a project where I had to design the whole thing in FS which was sort of a nightmare since they do not have the full capabilities of InDesign. I see with joy that that interactivity from InDesign can go directly into Flipsnack when you upload the PDF, however, do you happen to know if these videos would work on Flipsnack too? What about embedded content? Not just bookmarks and hyperlinks... I am assuming yes, but I was wondering if you already tried that. Greetings from Mexico!
thank you for adding this addition. I have been going crazy, following instructions, and not getting video to play in pdf, and not getting the control band at the bottom to show while in Indesign, following your video above... Why would Adobe UN do a feature that was working?
I test this in Adobe CC and export it to interactive PDF and view it on Acrobat DC - It didn't work :(
and when I view it not in a full screen, I can see an error msg, its still asking for Flash player.
Hi Angelo, great video! Curious to know if there is a way for an EPUB file/link to not have any any video control options as I do not like that look. I rather the video just play on the page load, which it does (with a delay unfortunately) however, I do not like the play and volume buttons showing.
Hi Angelo! I tried placing an MP4 (actually a few different ones to test) and they won't show up either in the EPub preview or when I save it. Yours shows a thumbnail, mine isn't showing at all and I'm doing exactly what you're doing. I'm on the newest version in Creative Suite, think that's the issue?
Really glad I've found this channel, you are helping me so much, and your voice is so calming when I'm stressed out haha! Thank you!!
Thanks Deanna. Glad that you are finding my InDesign content helpful!
Same here. Thank you, Angelo!
I'm always enjoying watching your videos haha! Have a good one! 😊
Thank you Angelo! I have a presentation tomorrow morning and I really wanted to include a video without going outside of InDesign and saw your tutorial! Really appreciate it!
Glad I could help, Daniel!
great post. I have been wanting to do this type of PDF for quite some time now. Super job!!
Glad you found this helpful! Thanks!
This video is so helpful! Straight-forward and insightful. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Sabrina!
hello Sabrina, can I ask you how did you make it work since we no longer have Flash player? What did you do to make the video controller work? Thx in advance
@@francescopievatolo5880 It won't work for Interactive PDF. The video will often work but the playback controls won't. You can Publish Online or export for EPub (Fixed Layout) in order for the video to play with no issues.
I love you man, Thank you so much for your amazing tutorials
Glad to hear they're helping! Thanks!
thanks Angelo...its marvellous
Thanks mate! Great video
Great video! One question: Any way NOT to see the darkened preview image with the Play arrow in it? I'd rather the view just see a beautiful image and only find out that it's playable when they mouse over it.
Excellent tutorial.
Excellent! Thanks!
great video - thank-you!!
Update: Unfortunately, Adobe has phased out Flash completely - making rich media content like video non-functional in Interactive PDF. The alternative is HTML5 interactivity - either publish online or export as an ePub (Fixed Layout). Just know that Interactive PDF for rich media content won't work moving forward. Hope that helps.
Hi Angelo! I just saw this comment after spending the last hour figuring out how to add video to my pdf, and now it doesn’t work because of flash...
can you advise me on another way to do this? Thank you for you help
bugger.
great tutorial though :)
Please try adding videos directly into the PDF via Choose Tools > Rich Media, and then select the Add 3D, Add Video , or the Add Sound tool. It worked for us.
@@sanpitt thank you ,but it still need flash to play the video... how you make it work without flash?
The tutorial is so helpful and very clear, thank you so much! This will be my first time using this feature and was wondering whether there is a limit on the number of videos or size used as I would like to include many videos and some of them are pretty long.
Maya, there are no limits, but keep in mind, the more videos, the larger the file InDesign will become. Try to use MP4 (H.264) files when placing into an InDesign document.
Thanks man..it help me to make it easy way
Awesome guide
Hey, I have a pdf where I show my photography portfolio, I was thinking I could add an intro video to it, just to get my clients attention. Could I do this to in a multiple pages document, where the first page would be a slide with an embedded video? Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for this fantastic video. I however am stuck with trying to auto-play a video in a loop on the cover of my interactive Indesign document. I essentially need the video to play without triggering it with he space key. Could you please help me with this? Thank you so much
Hi @Angelo, Questions, can the video play automatically specifically on Chrome? I published my works online but the video doesn't seem to play automatically on chrome but plays well on other browser. Note, my media settings is "play on page load".
Awesome!!!
If anyone is having issues playing video in PDF (Interactive) and is getting a pop-up that says "Trust this document once" or "Trust this document always", select either, save and close the PDF. Re-open it and try playing video again. It may be an issue relating to Flash. It was a bug I was dealing with for a while and that is the work-around.
No flash and SWF adobe removed recently in 2020 version. It wont work .
@@karthickgraphicdesigner8787 Is there an alternative way of embedding an MP4 in a PDF with InDesign?
Hey Angelo, thank you so much for this video! I have a question, is it possible to change the shape of video basically. Instead of rectangle, a circle for example? Or do I have to change it in other programs, if yes, then I would be very grateful if you could maybe write which programs :) Thank you in advance!
Hiya.. the video is really helpful but can someone tell me that after exporting the I teractive video file into pdf.. it doesn't work on the phone.. I need help for my file to work on the phone.
Thank you!
You are The Dark Lord of the Sith as it relates to interactive design. I am your newest apprentice. Your foundations are strong enough to build upon, as if building my own lightsaber
Hi Angelo, thanks for this video, just one question. In PDF if there are more pages the video sound dose not stop after changing the page. Please
Hello Angelo. Thank you very much for your video! I have an important Question
I will provide an interactive PDF on my website after the purchase. The interactive PDF shall contain 80 training videos (30 seconds each) and shall be played directly (Not via UA-cam or other websites). The interactive PDF should work offline and mobile. Is there a limit on gigabytes? You meant that Flash has been removed. Does it still work? If not, what alternatives do I have?
Thanks a lot and best regards, Max
Great!
Hi Angelo, thanks for the tutorial! I was also wondering what fond you used in the title ("Meatless Pho with in-season vegetables"). I'm a student, so I don't have a lot of experience and I don't know that many cool fonts like the one in the video. Also, I love the lay-out/design of the recipe. If anyone else has cool fonts or recommendations please share them with me :) Thanks!!!
Hey Kai! That is Playfair Display. You can download the font family here: fonts.google.com/specimen/Playfair+Display
@@AngeloMontilla Thank you!!! I can't wait to try it out. :)
Hello
I am regularly following up, nice videos,
possible without a flash player make it works, most of the computer flash is a block ( even my also )
please guide
Hi Angelo, have just found you! Fab videos, very clear! A question, how do I set the final frame for the video? I want the initial image to be the final image if that makes sense? Thanks from London!
Hey Deb! Thanks for watching and following along! To set a frame as the video image, open the Media panel (Window > Interactive > Media) and then in the Poster section, you will see a little refresh icon. Set the playhead in the preview to where you want the frame to be and then click the refresh icon. You'll also notice with the dropdown, you have the option of uploading your own image. Hope that helps and take care!
Hi Angelo, i like your tutorials it is neat and clean and to the point :) can you please make a video of InDesign Interactive PDF (not the ePUB) which works offline for eg: Organisation Chart in a creative way.
Thanks Sarath! I am planning to do a interactive PDF tutorial very soon. Stay tuned!
It is still helpful on 2022
Thank you
Thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful!
Very helpful videos! Question: If I want to have several videos placed on a portrait oriented interactive PDF published online, is there a way to set their individual media controls to play in sequence as they are scrolled to, and appear, on the user's screen? I would like to have several videos on one scrollable PDF for a multimedia art project, and have them each autoplay as the user scrolls through the document, but don't want them to all play at once by setting them to "play on page load." Any tips or workarounds you could offer would be much appreciated! Thank you!
Hi Sarah! You can place multiple videos in a document and not have them play of page load. In the Media panel (Window > Interactive > Media) there's an option to turn on/off a video playing on page load. However, doing so means a user will have to play/stop/pause it through the playback controls. I know what you're asking, but it's not possible. It's either you play it on page load or you play it manually. There's really no in between.
Also, be careful in placing video in an interactive PDF. While it may work in the latest version of Acrobat, you'll run into a lot of problems with the video playing properly with Adobe phasing out Flash support. I tested it in the latest version of Acrobat and yes, it will work but I had no playback control. Use Publish Online or EPub to be on the safe side. All the best!
Thank you for your reply! This was much more helpful than what I received in the Adobe community online. Fiddling around with it, I noticed that not all of the videos play on page load - it actually plays them I think in the order that they were placed. They queue up one after the other, which might suit my purposes. Thank you!
Hi. Thx for this tutorial. Can i add gif file into the layout? And make it automatic play (with sound) when enter the page. Thx
Nice🎉
Thanks for this video. it's very useful
Glad it was helpful!
So helpful omg, tysm!! :D
Glad it helped!
Very useful, thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you
thank you buddy
Thank you :)
Can a video with "play on page load" checked be exportated in interactive pdf mode ??
Gracias por entiendo de video de InDesign
hi, i'm sorry but i really need to know how to insert a bar in the video that permits to scroll and stop because i can't. my pdf is not for publishing online btw
thanks
I swear you're saving my life in uni right now
I am happy to hear the tutorials are helping you Alex!
This is such a big help! thank you so much, I am new to Adobe ID and I have a project I am working on and this will come in very handy thank you for making it so easy to learn!
Very well explained :)
Thank you! I am glad you found it helpful.
thank you.. but what if we want to sent a document with video to someone that doesn't have internet connection ? interactive PDF looks like it is working ONLY and ONLY if you have acrobat reader... but today less and less are using Acrobat reader since all OS have a pdf viewer which does not show the embeded media ... any solution ???
hey there Angelo! just great work, thanks! i am facing a problem tho, after the first time playing my videos just go black. do you have any idea what could it be?
Hi Bernardo! Is this happening for PDF only or EPub and Publish Online as well? I've never ran into the issue of a video playing once and then going black.
@@AngeloMontilla only after I export as a interactive pdf and open it :/
@@bernardochavez1789 Is this a video from a mobile phone shot by you? If so, you'd have to convert to an MP4 before placing into layout for PDF. Best of luck.
Hi Angelo, how do you edit the PDF in order to have the video playing only if you click a button? Indesign used to have a controller for that but on Indesign 2020 I can't find it anymore! Help! Thanks a lot!
Hi Emanuela. Do you mean setting an action to another button to play a video? That can still be done. For example, place an MP4 video into your document. Then create a shape and convert it into a button. In the Button action, select "Video" and then choose the video file from the dropdown below. Hope that helps you!
Hi Angelo, I designed a 2 page Interactive PDF watching your vedio. I added 1 vedio(having audios in it) on each page. I set the option to play " On page load".
The problem I am facing is both the vedios( with audios) are running simultaneously and it's becoming a mess. Can you please suggest an answer to the problem?
Thanks 💖
Hi Arkadeep. Either deselect both from playing on page load, or just one. I prefer having the experience of letting people play it on their own. If you set both videos to play on page load, they will both play, so either choose one or none. Best of luck.
hello @angelo! i love your videos
Hey Mariana! InDesign does have an HTML export, you'd need to hand off the assets and javascript to a programmer to have it translate for web seamlessly. That is why Publish Online is so convenient. But I know exactly what you mean. in5 has many export features that make it easier to share with clients or on your own site. I think InDesign continues to evolve and it'll get there. Especially with more demand for digital publishing. I think we're connected on IG so you can message me there too. Thanks!
The video is not playing on my pdf File when I export and open it on my default MacBookPro. Is Acrobat Reader a must to read interactive PDF ?
Hey there. Remember, Flash-based rich media like videos or audio won't work any longer for interactive PDF, as Adobe announced its EOL late last year. Could you publish online or export as EPub? The video will work on both platforms.
Thank you very much for the video. This was really helpful :) Why is it important that the file is a mp4? Will this also work with mov or swf?
Hey! You can certainly import a MOV into InDesign. I almost always import MP4 because it's fine quality-wise and allows me to export for web or EPub no problem. If you use MOV, just make sure the size isn't too large. SWF isn't supported for web or epub - those platforms are HTML5 based not flash. Take care!
@@AngeloMontilla Thank you very much for your answer! Learned something new :)
Hi Angelo, thanks for the video, great video. I had a question, once you export the pdf, do you need a flash player? I'm opening the interactive pdf in Acrobat Reader, but its not working, please help me out here
Hi Yamini! Yes you do need Flash in order for the video and other interactivity to work in the PDF. I should note that Adobe is phasing out Flash so if you can export as ePub or even Publish Online, the project will be more functional long term.
@@AngeloMontilla Thanks Angelo! InDesign is asking me to sign into Creative Cloud. I'm wondering if that's free and how to go about it?
Got, took a free trial!
very good channel
🙏 thank you!
HI Angelo, Love love love your videos - However I'm having major problems when exporting out as the video after playing is crashing. I've tried everything and I'm on the most up to date version of ID for Mac. Can you help?
Hi Maria! How are you exporting? Remember you’ll have issues if you export for PDF (interactive).
@@AngeloMontilla Yes that's exactly what I was doing... :(
for me it shows the following message after exporting it: This PDF's content requires Flash Player....
This was so helpful, I made an e-magazine and exported it into an interactive pdf... then BANG! flash player issues !! damn adobe.. makes me feel sad right now
Hey Mashiro. Export as EPub (Fixed Layout) and view it in Apple Books or another e-reader of your choice. Flash is not supported any more so it won't work for Interactive PDF. Best of luck.
Flash is definitely dead since January 1, 2021, so media are not supported in interactive pdf. Anyone have workarounds?
hello thank you for the information. I want to change the transparency of the video, i try many things but doesn't seem to work, do you know how/or its just can't?
Hey Nad - yeah unfortunately you can't add transparency to videos. You can have them fade in with animation though, if that helps you. Thanks for the question!
Hi, do I have to sign up an account with Adobe site to host my publication online? How does it work?
Hi there. As long as you have an Adobe subscription, the Publish Online feature is of no charge. Adobe hosts your work online and you can share the link or copy/paste the embed code onto a website. Hope that helps!
My video dies import, but it doesn't show a preview image.It's just plain white... How can I fix this?
buying the 0 dollar edition. When I had the cracked version I never leaned anytNice tutorialng but I downloaded the demo and went through a lot
Angelo, I followed the steps you did in the tutorial but when I save it my mp4 doesn't play and looks like a still pic? Not sure why?
Any limit to how long the video can be? And can you include sound?
I have the same question!
Another question do I need a flash player for this to work?
Hi Yarden. Yes Flash is required for PDF Interactive, but keep in mind Adobe is phasing it out at the end of 2020. So if you're going to be using this for longer-term, consider publishing online or epub.
How can I place a GIF file? 😥 I changed to mp4 and placed in Indesign, but it didn’t play the video on the media window...please help 😥
J Y - You can publish the document online to view the functioning GIF. I should also play when you open it in the ePub preview window. Just place the GIF like any other file in by going to File > Place and it should work fine.
Thanks Angelo :)
Hello Angelo,
Quick question. When the client clicks on your interactive pdf created by indesign how do I get those results or reports. I want to see the back end of what each client clicked on. Is this possible
Hey Seyram! Check out this tutorial. I think it may answer some of your questions: ua-cam.com/video/56tDLkvBkt4/v-deo.html
Hi Angelo, is there a reason why my video won't import in Indesign? It's an MP4 file and no matter what the size, it won't show up on my page. I only see grey stripes and when I export my file to PDF, there's a blank page. Thanks for your help!
Hi Sarah. It sounds like your video needs to be encoded. Even though it's an MP4, often times it still needs to go through an encoding process and set to H.264 in order to work in InDesign. Do you have Adobe Media Encoder? Let me know if you do and I can walk you through the process.
Hey dude can u tell me something, can i remove player of video? ps thx for this video u helped me a lot :)
Hey Luka! I am afraid there is not an option to disable player controls in Adobe InDesign. I am sure there's likely a workaround with javascript or other programming, but not directly in the Id media tools. Hope that helps.
Hi huge fan of your tutorials, but it is true that adding video only work in 2020 indesign version?
Thanks Jazen! That is not true at all. You have been able to add video in Adobe InDesign versions for the last decade.
Is it possible to change the shape of the video? Round the edges perhaps or even make it a circle for example?
Hey there! InDesign has a standard player, and even if you were to round the edges of the frame in the layout, it'll still play at full frame when you publish online or export for EPub. That's a great question, though!
@@AngeloMontilla thanks for the reply A. So there is no way of changing the look of that frame at all?
Another Q - with pictures, you can fit to frame, make proportional etc. Is it possible to do that with video too? (particularly when sourcing a url)
Hey! I'm trying to export to pdf, but when I do so the video is unable to play. It just looks like a picture. I exported to interactive pdf. Do you have any idea how to fix this? Thank you!
Hey Maeve, first, make sure when you export to PDF, choose PDF (Interactive) and not PDF (Print). The multi-media won't work that way. Also, try updating latest version of Flash. I recommend using another format than Interactive PDF for video. Adobe is phasing out flash in Dec., so you may run into some issues if you need this document long-term. Best of luck!
Hi Angelo, thank you for the video, not sure how to fix this error: could you please help? " Interactive pdf may not have playback controls for files contain videos .."
Shirin, what that means is video playback controls will not work for PDF. There is less and less that you can do for PDF Interactive when it comes to adding animation, media and other interactivity.
Unfortunately when exporting as an interactive PDF, the page that has the video plays upon click but then there are no controls to stop the video or skip to the next page. When skipping to the next page the video is still there on top preventing me from seeing the rest of the PDF. How can I fix this?
Thank you for this video. I am experiencing an error that says: interactive elements are clipped....
which reverses the video.
Is there any solution for this?
Thank you!
Hey there. I have never encountered this error before.
@@AngeloMontilla hm... I realize that it's with the videos taken from my phone.
@@aazaad2479 I understand. You will have to convert videos you take on phone to MP4 before placing in an Id layout. This can be done using Adobe Media Encoder or even a simple online video converter. You may lose some quality in the latter option, but at least it will be functional. Best of luck!
@@AngeloMontilla Will definitely try that out. Thank you :)
Let me know if that works for you!
Hi Angelo, do you have a tip on how to make the video work in the pdf now that Adobe doesn't support Flash Player anymore? Thank you for any information! Best, Sophia
Hey Sophia! My tip would be not to have video in an interactive PDF lol It really is hit-or-miss in terms of it playing. And while it may play for you briefly, it may not play for a client that you're doing the work for. Instead, I suggest exporting for EPub (Fixed Layout) and view it in a e-reader, which supports HTML5 animation or rich media. I really hope this helps. Best of luck!
@@AngeloMontilla Great, i did that :-) Thank you so much!
on the interactive pdf, when I open in acrobat, it says I need a flash player, which wont work in a few days. how can you embed and not have the video only viewable in flash player?
You're exactly right Kathy. Adobe is phasing out Flash so viewing Rich Media in PDF won't be possible soon enough. I always suggest to Publish Online or exporting as EPub (Fixed Layout) - both are HTML5 based will hold animation + interactivity. PDF Interactive is still useful for creating digital presentations with button navigation, hyperlinks.
@@AngeloMontilla so if I create an epub, how do I embed in a web site? also, does it give the viewer the ability to turn pages at their own speed? do you have videos that show this?
Hello, please help, how can I insert youtube shorts to indesign pdf? Cause there isn't the embed button and special code. Thank you for advice me!
Hey there! Here's a tutorial I covered how to add UA-cam videos to InDesign projects: ua-cam.com/video/gSgvrOVxqWg/v-deo.html
Hey there! Do you know if this works with a .mov? I exported my video from After Effects. Or does it have to be an .mp4?
Hey! Always recommend .MP4 but, yes .MOV is still supported! You will use same steps to place the video into InDesign.
@@AngeloMontilla thanks for the help :D
Is it possible to create a click button with image pops up after clicking in InDesign? I also want to convert this to a PDF file, not sure if this would work? Thank you.
Hi there. Yes you can set a button action to have an image pop up. Stay away from PDF Interactive as many of the interactivity will not work. Rich media such as video and audio will also not play with Flash being phased out.
I'm running into some issues.
When I export it as an interactive PDF, the video just doesn't play. There's not even an option to play it. It's just a static image of the thumbnail. When I publish it to the web and click play, the video is split in half with the left side being the video playing and the right side being the static thumbnail.
I did give the video a like because I appreciate you helping people out!
Hi Nicole, unfortunately Adobe is phasing out Flash, which is why video is likely not working in your interactive PDF. I would suggest publishing it online and sharing the link or exporting the document as an epub, which can then be viewed in Apple Books or Adobe Digital Editions, among many other e-readers.
Thanks a lot! Do it works with gif too?
Yep it sure does. Check out my latest video as I go over how to import a GIF in InDesign.
I'm on interactive pdf, the mp4 plays in the preview, but it won't play when I export, it's just a still frame, there's no play button either.
Hi Simon. If you're having issue playing video in your PDF, you may have to use Adobe Encoder to ensure your video is encoded to H.264 specifications.
@@AngeloMontilla thanks buddy ill give it a go
This no longer seems to work since Adobe have abandoned flash, any alternative method to make interactive PDF videos work?
I have the same question!
Hey there! You're 100% right. Unfortunately, Adobe has phased out Flash completely - making rich media content like video non-functional in Interactive PDF. The alternative is HTML5 interactivity - either publish online or export as an ePub (Fixed Layout). Just know that Interactive PDF for rich media content won't work moving forward. Hope that helps.
@@AngeloMontilla Thank you for your time :)
When you publish online, where online does it live?
Hi Angie! It's hosted on an Adobe server, but there's an embed code that allows you to place the work on your personal site or share with clients, teachers, etc..
First of all thanks for the video :)
I try to press the media button and it does not respond, has anyone encountered this?
Hi Yarden. You can't access the Media panel? I have never encountered that in the newer versions of Id. I will let you know if I come across anything.
I get a error message that says I need flash player, which will no longer be supported after December 2020 :(
Hi Ken, yes Adobe is ending Flash later this year, but for the time being, you may just need to update your flash player. Try downloading the latest version for your computer: get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
You could also try updating your Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Pro Dc.
Does interactivity work when I upload the file to my own webserver?
Hi Ramona! Yes, if you go to File > Export and choose HTML you can export the html/js/images. I will gives you a heads up that what you export won't look anything like the InDesign layout. It doesn't hold the layout geometry. So, you will need to hand off the assets to a developer to assist in implementing it on your own site. I hope that is helpful.
Hi Angelo, I'm trying to get multiple videos on a page to auto play when publishing online. I have linked the videos in my timing window. It previews perfectly but once I publish it I have to manually press play on each which is ruining the effect I would like. Please can you help. Many thanks, Anna
Hi there. Open the Media panel (Window > Media) and there should be an option in there which allows you to have the videos play on page load. Just click the video(s) you want to auto-play and turn that option on.
When you publish online, where does it publish to? is the file uploaded on the internet or is it existing just open in indesign?
Yes, it lives on an Adobe-hosted site as long as you have a Creative Cloud account.
What is the best layout to use for an ebook
I would say your best bet is an A4 (Web) sized document. Single pages and exported for EPub (Fixed Layout).
for my exams i have to learn how to make a video appear by strolling past it, and then clicking it to start the video, how do I do that?
hai!! when saving the interactive pdf I encounter this error: it contains multimedia contents that may not have playback controls in the interactive pdf, ideas? thankyou!!
Hi Michela. That is because rich media such as video and audio, will no longer work in PDF Interactive. Flash is slowly being phased out, which is making it hard for this type of media to be functional in PDF. Is exporting as EPub (Fixed Layout) and option for you? As long as the end user has an e-reader such as Apple Books or Adobe Digital Editions, they can view it the same way they would in Acrobat. Best of luck.
@@AngeloMontilla Yeah its too bad I spent time designing a layout for my cover letter only to find that this is flash-based. They should definitely update this to support HTML 5, unless I'm doing something wrong. Definitely would be more ideal for adobe to use a format that allows the videos to be viewable in any browser PDF reader, not just explicit products. Some people may think it's just a picture. Only workaround I can think of is to make a fake play button and have it redirect to the video in a new tab
Can we use these HTML and embedd to website?
Hey Karthick. Yes you can publish online, copy the embed code from there and insert it to your website.
Hey Angelo, thank you for the great tutorial. Unfortunately I have a little problem after exporting as Interactive PDF. I packed a video into an interactive PDF and then exported it. Despite the lack of controls, the video plays smoothly, but once its done and I click on to the next page, the video window stays and covers up all coming pages. Do you have an idea what went wrong? Thank you in advance :-)
Hi Anna-Lena! This will unfortunately no longer work for Interactive PDF with Flash being phased out. You will have to File > Export as EPub (Fixed Layout). This will allow you to view the project with all the interactivity still intact using an e-reader such as Apple Books. If you're on Windows, you can try Calibre or Adobe Digital Editions. You can also Publish Online and then embed the project on your own site as well. All the best.
Hi
My file when i publish it - show it very small
how can I adjust the size to A4 size without damage the layout?
Thank you
Work off a web or mobile document and set the size in pixels to the platform it's mean for. For example, 1920 x 1080. Also, use MP4 (H.264) videos in the document.
