It was such a technical day, almost driving me crazy… But finally got everything solved!
So first I tried to change the spiral texts to white in pdf through acrobat and also asked adobe support. But as the file was generated online so somehow the texts got messy when the color changed. Then I found it so much easier to do it in an image in photoshop!
Then I tried to place videos in indesign but the files were too big, same for pdf. So I searched for adding external video urls in both indesign and pdf, and I found the functions were not available anymore. I again contacted adobe support but they confirmed I could only add local files, which were too big. Then suddenly I found a way of embedding youtube videos to indesign! And it worked finally! But the format can only be EPUB that can only viewed in Apple Books and few other reading applications. Hope it’s ok!
