I don't know if the circumstances match exactly. But doing a bit of googling found
a
suggestion that installing phonon-qt5-vlc (available in rpmfusion) may get things
working. They did for at least one person but they didn't specify what type of
animation was in the PDF.
Sorry, but is this available in F28? I get No match.
Also, don't know if this is good enough, but you may want to consider pdfdetach to
extract the embedded files from the pdf.
Thanks! I will try that, but I was hoping for a solution inside the pdf reader.
