The yt4pdf package Dated: 2016/10/04
The yt4pdf package uses the rmannot package to embed a special SWF file to play the YouTube videos. There is a complete set of buttons that come with the package to control the video: play, pause, stop loading, rewind, load a video by its YouTube video ID, and a button to view a video on the YouTube web site. Adobe Acrobat 9 or later is required to author a document; only Adobe Reader 9 is need to view the created yt4pdf document.
The SWF file for playing the YouTube videos was developed by UVSAR (http://www.uvsar.com/pdftube/) and is based on the YouTube chromeless player and the YouTube ActionScript 3.0 Player API Reference (http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/flashapireference.html)
Now, I simply must get back to my retirement.

yt4pdf – Play YouTube videos in a PDF
The package uses the rmannot package to embed a special SWF file to play the YouTube videos. There is a complete set of buttons that come with the package to control the video: play, pause, stop loading, rewind, load a video by its YouTube video ID, and a button to view a video on the YouTube web site.
This package is now obsolete, since the author told us in July 2020: “I am withdrawing my package yt4pdf from CTAN. It is based on the Flash play, which is no longer supported in PDF.” You may wish to use its successor ltx4yt instead.
