Hello, I've actually looked elsewhere for contact information, and the 1t3xt site directed me back tot he mailing list, so here goes.
I want to setup what should be a straight forward, if not simple, automation process to take PDFs and embed SWF videos into them. There are some examples of doing this where the SWF is "inline" in the PDF, but my aim is to open the SWF in a popup window (this seems to be part of the Acrobat 6+ functionality). I'm working with one other developer, and we're pretty snowed under with other work. His assessment, after getting a simple example using iText working, was that the popup functionality should be possible, but that it would take someone who knew enough about what the various objects in the iText API did and how the PDF structure needed to be organized. Given our work load we're hoping that either someone out there knows the answer or can come up with it a lot faster than we could learn enough of the PDF spec to get the work done. If anyone has any example code that for this functionality that would be great. If any iText developers or power users on the list feel like they could take this on as a small project please feel free to either respond on the mailing list, or directly to my email address. If you're such an individual you can take a look at what we're trying to do by downloading an zip file with an example I put together by hand (contains inputs and a very poor output PDF) from https://collab.cosolvent.com/ccs/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=864&g2_dl=0 Note that the movie size is actually 304 x 228 pixels, but when I created the example output I was in a hurry and set it to 800 x 600 which shows up zoomed in (and therefore pixelated) as well as with an empty area due to being set to the wrong aspect ratio. Since we can problematically detect the size of the SWF we can eliminate such problems if we can do the embedding programmatically too. -- Robert r.
