Hello, Iam creating a catalog application, where i need to have popups that appear when you mouseover a certain product. these popups should be fed from an external XML file, depending on the popup.
Because this application shall run on the end-users side, the actual defintion of the mouseover areas should be handdled thru the source PDF instead of creating another authoring applicatoin for this. My idea is: 1) - user creates an area (e.g. a web-link hotspot) in PDF and tags this area with an ID instead of a web address 2) - PDFs are converted using pdf2swf 3) - a script parses the swf to know the coordinates of the active area and also gathers the ID for this area 4) - swfc is used to create the logic for the converted SWF to know which ID needs to be filled with which content where i am struggling now is 1) and 3) because i havent figured out yet how to find out the exact coordiates of e.g the created hotspot. does anybody have any suggestions on this? thanks & regards, Jan.
