Create a link to launch a video

Post by ksudavid »

Can I create a link in a PDF that will launch a video located on our network? I'm trying to create links to open other files but cannot get it to work even when I try to just launch another PDF document.

What am I missing?

Hi,

You can indeed - see here :

https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/169

and the attached - I typed some text - then Flattened (Comments -> Flatten) then added a link :

and then you need to add a rectangular link with an 'Action' e.g. - open a file or Web URL - but remember to close the Add link tool (e.g. select the 'hand tool' - or you will still be in edit mode and unable to launch the link) :-)

HTH

If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

I did it correctly but was forgetting to select the Hand tool. Thanks
