play video in seperate browser

Aug 7, 2012 10:23 PM

I have created a PDF using acrobat X (for the bookmark features) instead of embedding the video, I want the PDF to open in a browser and have links to videos. When the videos open the PDF closes. Can I make the videos play in a seperate browser window? I have tried edit/preferences/document uncheck open cross-document links in same window. I have also tried using javascript with the ,true function instead of link.

    1. You can't force a local PDF file to open in a Web browser, and can't gurantee that anyone viewing it on a website won't download it.
    2. PDF files cannot link to local external non-PDF files, but it could link to a URL containing a video (on a webserver) provided it's supported by your browser, or it's wrapped in HTML.
    3. The preferences reating to window reuse are talking about the Acrobat window on the desktop, not the Web browser window.
