FAQs
How can I embed a video (or other content) into a PDF?
To embed a video into a PDF, simply log in, and upload your PDF file. Then choose the area where the video should appear and upload your video — that’s all it takes.
If you prefer to place the video on top of an existing image, you can upload that image as well. Viewnamic will automatically detect the matching image inside your PDF and replace it for you, so you don’t have to select anything manually.
You can also watch the explainer video below to see the process in action.
Why doesn’t Adobe Reader show videos inside PDFs?
Adobe Reader can display videos and other rich media inside a PDF, but most people avoid this method because it only works in a few PDF viewers. If you embed a video using Adobe tools and someone opens the file in Apple Preview or another common PDF reader, the media simply won’t appear — those viewers don’t support embedded video at all.
There’s another drawback: Adobe embeds the video directly into the PDF file, which makes the document extremely large. This often breaks email delivery and makes the PDF slow and cumbersome to navigate.
With Viewnamic, your original PDF stays lightweight and unchanged. The dynamic content is delivered through our interactive viewer, so it works reliably across devices without bloating your file.
When using Viewnamic, do I need an internet connection?
Yes. Your original PDF remains unchanged, and all dynamic content is hosted by Viewnamic. You receive a shareable link that you can place on your website or send via email or chat. When someone opens the link, the document is displayed together with the embedded videos — fully compatible with any device or browser.
If you prefer, you can also send the original PDF file directly. The recipient can simply drag and drop the file into the Viewnamic PDF reader to view the interactive version.
You can always download the static PDF from the Viewnamic viewer if you need an offline copy.
