Include videos in InDesign Exports

[libreliodev]

As specified in the Librelio specifications (https://github.com/libreliodev/iOS/wiki/Video-Module), a link should be added in the exported pdf file in the following form: http://localhost/[FileName]?[OptionArgs]

. Depending on the options selected for the overlay:

• if "Play FullScreen" was selected, add warect=full
• if "Auto Play" was selectedd, add waplay=auto

Add the video file in the export directory (don't embed it in the pdf file).

Note: it seems that overlay settings are not documented in the ExtendScript documentation. Please refer to this thread for a work around: https://forums.adobe.com/message/3726398#3726398

@signilance

regarding the video overlay settings, I also need some more info/examples.

An example will be uploaded later.

@signilance An example of source InDesign file with one video overlay, and pdf export as we want it, has been uploaded: http://librelio-europe.s3.amazonaws.com/developer/InDesignExample.zip

Do you need to use only folio overlay or you can use also other way to have this result like your example ?

[libreliodev]

@elelsg Another way would be to enter the link matching the Librelio specifications directly in InDesign. Other than that, no.

I can not understand if you need export a interactive pdf or a folio file.

As far as I know, it's not possible to export .folio files. We do not want to export "interactive" pdf files either, because our readers cannot read embedded videos.
