Created an interactive pdf in InDesign with a video at the end, H.264 mp4 for Ipad size. THe video will show on the computer but will not show on the Ipad. Downloaded Adobe Reader 10.3 it can see it but will not play. Any ideas of how to get the video to show in the interactive pdf on Ipad?

    Adobe Reader 10.3 does not yet support multimedia. None of the free readers I've found support it.

     

    The best PDF reader I've found for the iPad is not free, $US9.99: PDF Expert. It supports multimedia.

    I would expect that the codecs required for multimedia costs money. Hence, no small company that provides a free reader can afford to provide the functionality for free. As many embedded media are flash files, that provides an extra impediment.
