Shlomo,I am trying to import a short video into a FM12 document. I followed the
steps you passed to Tom, but no luck.What is/are the secret step(s)?
I have tried AVI, MPG4, SWF (only one mentioned in the FM12 Help).

to be displayed in PDFs viewed with Acrobat or Reader. Your end users will have
to install the same. On Windows, both Flash Active X and Plugin are to be
installed -- see

Subject: Problem with embedded video continues unresolved
To: [email protected]
I upgraded from FM7 to 12 in the fall. When the program was installed, we
verified that the PDF Creation add-on was not selected. The computer also has
Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, which we reverted to when we discovered that Acrobat 11
keeps telling me that I need to install "the required version of Flash Player",
even though I already have the up-to-date Flash Player already on this
computer.
In a nutshell, here is what is happening.
-- With the above configuration, I import (by reference) an MP4 clip into the
FM document and "Save as PDF".
-- When I open the pdf, the pictograph for the video is not interactive.
-- Today, I tried to start over with a spare notebook. Before I loaded
anything, I verified that all Adobe programs were uninstalled (the notebook
include Adobe Air, Adobe Help, Acrobat 9, and FM 12). I then ran Cache Cleaner
(Piriform), both the cache cleaner and the registry fix, repeatedly until no
issues were found.
-- I then restarted the notebook and installed programs, in the following
order:
- FM12, with PDF creation add on unchecked. Restarted notebook after
install.
- Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (same version that is running on my work
computer), typical install. Restarted the notebook.
-- Opened FM 12 and created a document using a stock template (UserGuide,
Chapter.fm). Filled 2 pages with text, then, at a new paragraph, imported an
older mp4 how-to file that I had on my hard drive. I allowed FM to "Fit in
Selected Rectangle".
-- Saved the document as "untitled", then clicked on "Save as PDF".
-- Opened the PDF. The stock filmstrip icon was interactive and worked!
-- Opened the FM doc again, deleted the video clip that worked and inserted one
that had sound. Saved as PDF. Opened the pdf, icon was interactive, but when
clicked only sound played; no picture.
-- Closed FM, opened FM doc. Deleted the video clip frame, then inserted the
one that worked (as above). Saved the file, then Saved as pdf. Opened the pdf
and this time, the icon was not interactive.
-- I repeated this procedure, this time inserting the video clip with sound
that would play only sound and no video in pdf. This time, the icon was not
interactive. So in both cases I went from video working in some form to nothing
working.
This seems totally insane. Any ideas? I'm completely baffled by this.
