I need to give a PDF presentation but I want to include some videos in between some of the slides.

Is there a PDF viewer which will allow me to play videos in between slides for a presentation?

Ubuntu – PDF viewer with selectable text

As mentioned in a comment, if text in a pdf document is selectable as text or not, depends on whether the text is in the document as an image or as text. In the latter case, all pdf viewers do support selecting text as far as I know.

No options with text in a pdf image?

You do have a few options however to make the text in a document "readable"

One relatively unknown, but imo very nice option to (also) convert pdf images to text is gimageReader:

It has a nice interface and reads the selected text, displayed next to your pdf document.

to install, use its ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sandromani/gimagereader
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimagereader

Note

You might need/want to additionally install tesseract ocr tools for specific languages to use:

sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr

and specific languages, e.g.

sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr-eng

Specific languages can also easily be selected by using synaptic.

Edit

(at least) From 18.04, gImageReader is in the repositories, so no need to add the ppa manually anymore.
