No, directly uploading a video as a PDF is not feasible as PDFs are designed to contain documents that include text, images, and vector graphics, but not video content. However, you can embed a video link into a PDF with certain PDF editors. This allows viewers to click a hyperlink or an icon within the PDF to watch the video online. To achieve this, create or edit your PDF with software that supports multimedia embedding, and insert a clickable link or icon that directs to your video.
