Animated images in PDFs?? Help!... thank you :)
niic (15 pencils) | Mon, 2005-11-21 07:48Hi,
(I'm using Acrobat Pro 7)
I'm wondering how hard it is to embed a serious of images fading over each other in my PDF?!
I have lots of content and would like to display the images a bit more dynamically and instead of every image having its own space i was hoping to have them all sit on top of each other a fade in and out of each other.
I have been reading the help files on my problem and think that perhaps JavaScript is the answer! Is this correct and if so where would i build and export the script - Macromedia's Director or Flash?
Many thanks to anyone that can help!
Regards,
Nick.

I think the easiest way would be to embed a quicktime movie of your images. If your on a mac you could probably build a quick fading movie of stills in iPhoto or iMovie. Embedding movies is way easier than trying to force something with Javascript.

You can create a quicktime movie direct from flash, its in the publish settings.

You have that possibility right in Photoshop.
There are two ways of doing it.
First one:
Photoshop. Go to menu File > Automate > Pdf presentation
You will get a menu where you can choose your images by browsing.
If you want a multiple page pdf or a presentation.
Moving forward at a specific time and the way you want the transitions are made.
Second one:
If you have CS2 you can do the same thing from the Bridge
Open the Bridge go to menu Tools > Photoshop > PDF presentation.
The same menu will appear.
Hope it helps
