Can I imbed a GIF into a PDF for web viewing?

I want to email a PDF, and have a GIF animation while viewed from a computer. Is this possible?

And, no, you can't put a GIF in a PDF and have it animate. Multimedia in PDF is possible, but complex. Best avoided in my view, too many uncertainties in viewing.

  • Version to save PDF (for web view/printing)

    Hello,
    I am going to be linking an employment application on my client's website as a PDF. I am not sure what version to save it as (version for Acrobat Reader) so that it's most compatible with those visitors coming to the site. Does anyone know what would be a safe bet as far as what version to save my PDF as?
    Also, does anyone have any tips on how to best save it for downloading online but then printing it out?
    Thanks!
    Ashley

    You should probably go back to at least AA7, though there are those still using vers 4. You need to be a bit careful if you have added anything fancy, it will be lost. Also, if the form is to be used a lot (500 times is the limit), you do not want to activate Reader Rights (it is a violation for more than 500 uses). Just have the form submitted by having it printed or by submitting the form data (FDF file). For an application, you would want the submission to be to a web site (secure site preferred) due to the confidential information that would be included. The form data can be imported to the form using the FORMS>Manage Form Data>Import. You can do some database work directly from Acrobat (I am not good at that and the appropriate subforum is for forms) or you can use the tools in the FDF Toolkit to write server side code for the submission and data manipulation (there are Perl and C code examples in the toolkit).
    Good luck.

  • Preparing PDFs for web viewing

    Can I control how PDFs open for people using my web site?  I'd like them to fit on window with page thumbnails.
    If I can't control this, can I advise my users how to get that to happen in their own browser?

    I am not sure what you are asking. With browsers, PDFs typically open either in Acrobat or Reader or in a plugin for the browser. I am not sure about the thumbnail comments. Do you want to open the PDF or have a thumbnail of it? In either case, this has historically been an issue that varies with browser. I am not sure if the HTML community ever came to a standard to allow this within the browser so that you get consistent results. What I am suggesting is that you may be asking a HTML question and this is probably the best place. Also, you will likely find your answer to be browser dependent that is not a good solution for general posting.

  • Creating a pdf for web viewing and printing

    I need to create files in pdf format from indesign cs6. They are educational units will go up on a website to be downloaded for good quality printing. Which options do I have? I am not too familiar with this process. Thank you for your expert suggestions

  • Errors in Export to PDF for web use - some images are lost when PDF is enlarged & in browser

    I have a multi-page PDF in InDesign CS6 that I want to export to view on the web. I need the file to stay under 2MB, and I need it to be crisp and nice enough to read the type on the page (as small as 9pt type).
    The errors that are occurring are the following:
    On some browsers, some images will entirely not show up. Some of the missing images have been pasted into the document, some placed. I cannot think of a correlation.
    When the PDF is enlarged (Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.10) to more than ~200%, there is one placed image that will mostly disappear. What I mean by "mostly" is that little bits of it are still visible, like I masked it carelessly or something. Since this is only occurring with one image it seems that it would be a problem with the image itself, yes? I'm all ears if I'm making a mistake. It is a placed .ai file with no link errors. Should I not be placing directly from illustrator? It renders wonderfully from 100% all the way up to 188%, and then if you enlarge by margins of 1% little bits of it disappear, almost a chunk at a time.
    The way I've been exporting is:
    File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print)
    Adobe PDF Preset: Smallest File Size
    Standard: None
    Compatinility: Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5)
    Options: Optimize for Fast Web View
    Export Layers: Visible & Printable Layers
    Compression
    I always change the downsampling from [100/150] to [150/225]. I usually leave the JPG image quality low. I leave both bottom boxes checked (compress text and line art, crop image data to frames)
    Output
    Color Conversion: convert to destination
    Destination: sRGB 1EC61966-2.1
    Profile Inclusion Policy: Include Destination Profile
    However, after reading a few other forum questions I started trying to export as Acrobat 4 so that it would flatten. When I do that, problem #2 still persists although I didn't test problem #1. I haven't tried using Distiller, and using the "prepare for web publishing" action within Acrobat itself makes the PDF too artifacted.
    At the heart of my question is this: I am a young designer at an old company that is not necessarily keeping up with the times. I REALLY want to know what the best, most efficient way to export a pdf for web viewing is. Does this exist in InDesign, outside of InDesign? Does it exist at all? Tell me what I'm doing wrong so that I can get better!
    Thank you in advance.

    Show Large Images is a preference inside of Acrobat which might be disabled.

    thinking of replacing my macbook with an ipad for travel overseas, can I plug my iphone4 into the ipad for charging?

    no
    the USB does not out out enough power to charge anything.
    And if you want to share chargers it's best to share your iPad charger with your iPhone. the iPad charger is a 10W charger, the iPod ones are 5W. So it'll charge, just not as fast as 'normal'

  • PDF for Web & Mobile Devices?

    Hey There,
    My boss and I recently attended an Expo for CS 5.5 and were blown away by all the new animations features for Web. We however are not in the business of creating web books, we only wanted to create a dynamic PDF for our website and then also for mobile devices like iPads, etc. However, we've discovered the animation is all Flash based and therefore useless for mobile devices. Is there any way around that? What is your suggestion for exporting useful PDFs for Web and Mobile Devices?

    There’s a big difference in what you want, Joel and what the OP asked for.
    For plain old vanilla PDF, you should be fine, but the OP is worried about people needing to download something for EPUB when in reality that’s less of an issue than PDF.
    There are no stock PDF readers on many tablets and the ones that are there have limited or no interactive capabilities and the better ones like GoodReader are not free.
    BTW, I’m not suggesting EPUB as a replacement but without seeing the actual documents in question and knowing the audience and budget, I really can’t give you a better answer.

  • Converting InDesign File to PDF for Web

    Hi,
    I designed an ad that is to be used for web view only in InDesign (CS3 on PC). The file restrictions I have been given require that it is 72dpi and a PDF file. When I convert to PDF(smallest file size,no spot colors, compressed), I end up with a file that is 4MB. I'm assuming a file that is 72dpi and 6.25"x9.25" shouldn't be that big. When I look at the "Audit Space Usage" window, 90% is under "Contents Stream" (I don't know what this means).
    I'm new to creating files for web viewing so I'm not sure how to go about accomplishing this without losing image quality. I've tried "reducing file size" and the "PDF Optimizer" in Acrobat. I always get the message "The PDF document contained image masks that were not downsampled." when I attempt this.
    What do I need to do to create a PDF file with these specifications that will retain some of the image quality (won't look pixelated and be read-able)? I don't mind recreating the ad in Illustrator, or Photoshop if I can guarantee that I can end up where I need to be.
    I would really appreciate any tips on this!!

    You mention pictures. If the file is mostly pictures, then the first step is to reduce the picture content, possibly by using 256 colors rather than millions and such. Check the properties of the settings file for the conversion (I don't have current versions available to check right now - you also did not mention your Acrobat version). It is probably best to down sample in a graphics program such as Illustrator or Photoshop (depending on the image being vector or bitmap) and then include them in the original. It is always a good idea to work on a copy and leave the original in place. Trying to do the reduction in Acrobat is not the best approach.

  • Exporting PDF format for web viewing, fonts look bad

    Hey everybody I'm relatively new to indesign so sorry if this is a simple one. I'm doing a newsletter in indesign, which will be used stricktly for web viewing. Whenever I export the file as a pdf the body text fonts look a bit off, as though they are slightly pixelated around the edges. This is not as noticable in the artcile titles with larger font, but any smaller font (i'm using size 14, and futura book) and it gets this pixelation, it is even more noticeable in the thinner type sets of the font. Another odd thing is the first page of the newsletter the fonts are more messed up looking than the following pages where the same font types and sizes are used, the only major difference is the first page has a photo on it, but the fonts that look weird are below the photo not overlaying it or anything like that. I turned off all the compression on the pdf export, also tried it will varying amounts of compression but still have the same issue. And I am viewing this in Mac's Preview program, not acrobat.

    Ok, just checked through all the flattening preview highlights and everything looked fine in that. Since my exported document looked perfectly fine in acrobat, but sort of pixelated in mac's preview, is there any way around that?
    If you are serving the PDF via a web address it will very likely be viewed in a browser (not downloaded and opened in an app like Preview or Reader). All of the browser displays have slightly different anti-aliasing, which you can see if you zoom in on a screen capture of the text. Here's a line of text from your PDF at 100%, magnified to 400% in Photoshop. From top to bottom Safari, Chrome, Firefox:
    There's nothing you can do about the anti-aliasing quality of the different browsers and apps. The PDF you posted has live transparency, so it isn't a flattening issue.

  • How can I keep logo background transparent when flattening for web?

    Hi, I have a logo designed in Illustrator which I'm bringing into Photoshop to save it for the web. It comes into Photoshop with a transparent background, but when I save it for the web or flatten it, it gets a white background. Can you tell me how to keep the background transparent?

    File > save for web (& devices). That will give you the best and smallest web-ready graphics. With save as you're embedding all kinds of info that doesn't need to be in the image. File size can bloat ten-fold quickly. Use save for web.

  • How can I re-insert pages into a PDF?

    Hi- it will become obvious that I am new to Illustrator (Creative Cloud 2014 on a Mac, for what it's worth).  I am editing a brochure and when I opened the PDF with Illustrator I was asked to select a particular page on which to work.  Now that I have done that it saved as a separate page- how can I insert it back into the brochure format?  As it stands now I have the old brochure in its entirety, and an edited, single page separately. 
    Thank you in advance.

    If you have Acrobat Pro, you can replace the previous page with the new page and then, resave the new .pdf.  It is a simple swap.

    Babylon would need to support Adobe Acrobat for that to happen.

  • Can I convert a file into a PDF in Adobe Reader and automatically attach it in the Reader?

    I understand that I can merge files online.  What I'd like to do is have my original PDF open and convert an Excel sheet into a PDF that is attached to the original PDF within Reader.  Being able to do all of this in one place is the main reason I'm subscribing.

    HI Elizabeth,
    Yes, you are correct that merging can only happen online however if you are trying to achieve all the three task togather then i would recommend you to purchase the complete PDF solution Acrobat Professional.
    You can achieve this task with the feature in Acrobat called as Action Wizard which create a batch sequence of all the three process. You just need to run the process and your job is done.
    For more information:

    unfortunately, with Adobe Reader it is not possible.
    Let me know if you have any other question.

  • How can I insert a comment into a PDF stream?

    I am creating a PDF  stream manually (long story, don't ask) and when
    debugging the  resulting PDF by looking at the raw PDF stream, it would
    be really  handy if I could tell which parts of the PDF stream came
    from which  parts of my code, so I was trying to find some way to
    insert  comments into the PDF stream.
    I came up with this:
    (my comment here)  pop
    which I thought would create a string object on the stack and  then pop
    it off, but this PDF code still confuses Adobe Reader.
    Any  suggestions on how I can insert stuff into the PDF stream that
    doesn't affect Adobe Reader, but lets me distinguish different parts
    of the PDF stream?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    the best is to insert screenshot directly in keynote. If it's for a paper version save everything as pdf and compile with "combine pdf".
