Why Viewnamic
How Viewnamic differs from traditional PDF tools
Adobe embeds media into the PDF file itself – the file becomes huge and the media only play in a few readers. Flipbook tools convert your layout and often show videos as YouTube links in an overlay, where ads can play first. Viewnamic keeps your original PDF unchanged and plays your own video files exactly on the page – with autoplay, loop and player controls, in every browser.
- Original PDF stays lightweight
- Your own videos right on the page – without ads
- Works on every device and browser
- Videos, 3D, click dummies and analytics in one place

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to add interactive content to use Viewnamic?
No. Many customers simply host and publish regular PDFs – magazines, brochures, catalogues or reports – in the Viewnamic viewer and share them with a link. Depending on the plan, they also embed them on their website, use the page-flip magazine mode, show their own logo and colours in the viewer and see reader statistics. Videos, 3D models and click dummies are optional extras.
How can I embed a video (or other content) into a PDF?
Upload your PDF, choose the area where the video should appear and upload your video – that’s all it takes.
You decide how it plays: automatically as soon as it is visible, in a loop, with or without player controls. The video stays outside the PDF file, so the file stays as small as before.
Is my original PDF changed?
No. Your original PDF stays unchanged and lightweight. Interactive content and its position are stored separately and displayed on top of the page inside the Viewnamic viewer.
Why doesn’t Adobe Reader show videos inside PDFs?
Adobe tools can embed videos and other rich media into a PDF, but the media only plays in a few PDF readers – in Apple Preview and many other common readers it simply doesn’t appear. Adobe also embeds the video into the file itself, which makes the PDF very large, hard to email and slow to navigate.
With Viewnamic, your original PDF stays lightweight and unchanged. The dynamic content is delivered through the browser-based viewer, so it works reliably on every device.
Do readers need special software or an account?
No. Your publication opens in any modern browser via a link or an embed on your website – no downloads, plugins or accounts required.
What types of documents can I enhance with Viewnamic?
Any PDF that benefits from media or a better reading experience: magazines, catalogues and brochures, sales folders and datasheets, real estate exposés, presentations and pitch decks, research papers and reports, manuals, portfolios and CVs.
Do I need an internet connection?
Yes. Publications, media and interactive content are delivered by Viewnamic, so readers need to be online. If you allow downloads, readers can always save the static PDF for offline use.
Is my content secure?
Your files are stored securely in Germany and are only accessible through the links you share. For confidential documents you can use secure sharing with recipient-specific links, one-time codes and watermarks (depending on your plan). You can delete your content at any time.
Is Viewnamic GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Viewnamic is developed in Germany, runs on servers in German data centres and processes personal data in line with the GDPR. We provide a data processing agreement (DPA), collect reader statistics without cookies and without storing IP addresses, and delete them automatically after 12 months.
Does Viewnamic work on mobile devices?
Yes. Publications work smoothly on phones, tablets and desktops, including touch gestures and full-screen reading.
