Hi Coders, I have come across swf's embedded in PDFs, and in the process of doing a little research - is that taking off now, or is it a small specialist area? I can't seem to find much technical info on this, especially, what are the system requirements on the user side: does s/he need flash

Hi, My initial goal was really to find out if swf in pdf is a feasible product to offer to our clients, after my boss seems to think it is particularly sexy. After doing a bit of research I have to say that while it does seem to work, I am still not entirely clear how to create properly, and

Sounds possible. Would most situations / people not use PowerPoint for presentations though? And for kiosks you could make a good case for playing the .swf directly via flashplayer, or through a wrapper like Zinc or Director. Just trying to find the advantages of animated PDFs over mroe widely

I found it! It was the autokerning. If you use that, the anitaliasing does not work properly and dynamic text does not load. Interesting, NIk On 6/24/07, Hans Wichman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, you could try the bitmap api. greetz JC On 6/24/07, nik crosina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi
