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.
