Reply To: Video in iPad document

I’ve recently encountered this same issue, and did not have much luck finding useful information to troubleshoot the problem, so I’m adding to this thread. Our client required video in an interactive PDF that would work on an iPad. Unfortunately, if you create an interactive PDF in InDesign and then try to view it using Adobe Reader on an iPad, it will not support video playback because the underlying technology for the video is Flash-based, and Flash will not work on an iOS device. We found that by using the PDF Expert by Readdle app as the viewer (US $9.99), and placing an h.264/.m4p video into the document, we were able to get video to work on both desktop and iPad. It does treat navigation links differently, so you need to convert all navigation elements to images (including outlining text), but we were able to get it to look great and most importantly, the video works on an iPad.
