Problems adding SWF to PDF

Hi there... I need to add a Flash CS3 swf file to an Acrobat v8 Pro document.
I'm on a 24" iMac.. OSX.5.7 Acrobat v8 Pro with Flash CS3 Swf file is flashplayer 9 compatible.
After the "add movie" dialogue box where I locate my swf drive on the hard drive and click ok, I get "Initalising Authoring System".... which just stays there forever until I click cancel - then I get a dialogue that says "Cannot create the movie annotation because movie could not be loaded. This can occur if the file cannot be found or URL is nreachable (make sure proxy server settings are correct)."
I've tried all sorts of things with no luck. There's no problem converting the SWF to a quicktime movie and adding that, but the file size becomes unuseable - I'd rather try and embed a 72kb swf than a 30mb Quicktime file!
Can anyone out there shed some light on this issue? Is there something in preferences I haven't clicked/checked on?
Megga thanks!
Kind Regards
Piers Le Sueur

Thank you Michael, I had a horrible feeling that might have been the case.
I know what I need to do now... thanks so much!!!
So when you say... "the new method that works in Acrobat 9 is not backwards compatible" does that mean that the file can only be edited in Acrobat 9 Pro? or Read using Reader 9 and above only?
Kind Regards

Additional file size is added to my PDF when attaching it to an email in Outlook for Mac 2011

I'm generating PDFs from Adobe Pro X. I have a 7.23MB PDF file that becomes a 9.8MB PDF file when attached to an email.
I'm trying to keep the file size as small as I can - why is the extra size added to the PDF?
I'm on an IMac, using Outlook for Mac 2011 and Adobe Acrobat Pro X/Indesign CC to generate the PDFs. This isn't an isolated issue, it happens when I attached word documents as well and is extremely annoying!
Looking forward to hearing from anyone out there (desperately!)

[svn:fx-trunk] 10959: Adding support for FXG 2. 0 additional blend modes that do not have a SWF equivalent.

Revision: 10959
Author:   [email protected]
Date:     2009-10-09 13:38:19 -0700 (Fri, 09 Oct 2009)
Log Message:
Adding support for FXG 2.0 additional blend modes that do not have a SWF equivalent. For the optimized FXG case, we now generate an ActionScript SymbolClass and set the corresponding blend shader. This requires checking in the additional shader classes and PBJ files, but note we do not yet use them in MXML graphics.
Note: This change does not address luminosity masks.
QE notes: Please update FXG opt. testsuites for additional blendModes.
Doc notes: No
Bugs: N/A
Reviewer: Paul
Tests run: checkintests, mustella spark/core/fxg
Is noteworthy for integration: Yes, this change includes support for the additional blendModes of FXG 2.0 (though only for the optimized FXG case, and not MXML graphics).

Adding a swf for your desktop background

Hey everyone,
A buddy and i were talking about if it was possible to add a
swf for your machines desktop background. I have seen animated
backgrounds before but never put much thought into it so we tried
loading a swf and it didnt work... does anyone know how to create
on of these?
Thanks!

I created a 1024 x 768 image in Photoshop; saved it as .PNG
file and imported it in Flash 8. I added a few buttons to it and
published the file in .SWF and .HTML so that I could use the html
file as my Desktop background. The published file size is also 1024
x 768. When I apply the html file as my desktop background, the
image on the desktop is pushed down and right leaving a 1/4" border
at the top and left side of the screen, cutting off the bottom and
right side of the image. However, when I publish the file in
animated GIF or just set the .PNG image as my Desktop background,
they align correctly on the Desktop. How do I change the alignment
of the published html file on my Desktop?
Thanks; I only spent a whole day on this today...

Differences between PDF (Interactive) and PDF (Print)

What are the main differences between PDF (Interactive) and PDF (Print)?
Now it seems to me that PDF (Interactive) is limited version of PDF (Print).
Any links to read about this topic?
Thank you in advance,
Mykolas

There's actually quite a few differences between (Interactive) and (Print).
Here's a list of pointers written by Michael Ninness (previous product manager of InDesign and now working at Lynda.com) http://www.lynda.com/michaelninness
I just got premission from him to post this (Thanks Michael!):
Here is some info for you regarding what choices are being made under the hood when you choose File > Export > Adobe PDF (Interactive).
Things that just happen or are included, with no choice in the dialog box:
Hyperlinks, Bookmarks, Fast Web view, Compress Text and Line Art, Crop Image Data to Frames.
Things that are not included, with no choice in the dialog box:
Visible Guides/Grids, Hidden and Non-Printing Layers, Hidden and Non-Printing Objects, Marks & Bleeds, No Ink Manager or Simulate Overprint options.
Things that you can choose:
Security Settings, Embed Page Thumbnails, Create Tagged PDF, Create Acrobat Layers, Initial View, Initial Layout, Open in Full Screen Mode, Page Transitions, Image compression and resolution.
Other:
Fonts: Subset 100%
Color Conversion: Destination
Destination: sRGB
Profile Inclusion Policy: Include Destination Profile
Transparency Flattener: No Flattening
And lastly, Compatibility is set to Acrobat 9 (PDF 1.7). This last point is important, and largely explains the main reason we split Interactive PDF out as a separate export choice from Print PDF. When you export an interactive PDF from CS5, included media is now written out to the Rich Media Annotation Layer, which means this content is played back via the embedded Flash Player within Acrobat Pro 9 or Adobe Reader 9 or higher. In previous versions, this content was written out to the Screen Annotation Layer, which meant this content was played back via QuickTime. This has been a long-standing headache for end users as playback across platforms was often inconsistent, would frequently break when Apple updated QuickTime, etc.
Lastly, if you want to include rich media in your interactive PDFs (SWFs, audio and video), the only formats supported if you want to target Adobe PDF (Interactive) are MP3 for audio and FLV for video. Other file formats will need to be converted to these formats before you export to Interactive PDF. For video files, you’ll be able to convert to FLV with Adobe Media Encoder. For audio files, you can use any number for free audio conversion tools, including iTunes.

Adding swf animation to Captivate Slide

Hello Forum Members,
I have a problem. I just used Flash (CS3 Pro) to make a small
animation that moves a few objects
across the stage, and has glow filters, etc. I have also
added eventlisteners for mouse over and mouse out on this swf. The
swf plays fine in standalone mode (in Flash Player, etc). I have an
object that gets created via action script in this swf as well as
objects already on the stage (design time).
I then insert this swf file into a Captivate (3.0) slide -
the animations do not play correctly, my object that gets created
in the swf timeline never appears, and the rollover/out actions do
not play. Am I not understanding the capability of Captivate to
"play" Flash animations? I was hoping to use this flash element in
my Captivate project.
Thanks for a helpful forum,
eholz1

Thanks for your reply! Here's a better explanation of my end goal.
I want to create a software simulation. I want my question to look and
function interactively in a limited way just like the piece of software. I
will then ask them to do a task using this software and mark them correct if
they finish it correctly.
For example, if I was using MS Word I want a master slide that includes the
menu drop downs and hover effects that would match the actual program. I
could use those over and over and each question just add the content unique
for the question.
Does that make sense? Can Captivate do that?

How can I set Firefox to print to PDF, the only otions I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

A couple of weeks ago, from the file menu, in my print options was to print a web page to PDF, that facility is no longer there. does anyone know how can I set Firefox to print to PDF.
The only options I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

Firefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?
If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security.

Acrobat 9 Pro and straight .swf to PDF conversion

I have an electronic document that is several .swf files, one
file for each document page. Using cutepdf I can put each file in
firefox and then print the the page to pdf. This is very tedious
since I have 1000+ pages. I would prefer to speed this process up
with AA9.
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. When I try to create a
new PDF from the .swf file I get some dialogue that treats the .swf
as embedded content. This puts an annoying play button at the
bottom of the converted page and makes it incompatible to view in
my iPhone or other handheld devices. It would seem that AA9 treats
the .swf as .swf and doesn't convert it to .pdf like cutepdf does.
I have to believe that AA9 can ignore the media type of .swf
and straight convert the content in the .swf to .pdf without
treating it like I want to embed it as a flash file inside a pdf.
How is this done? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. This problem has yet to be resolved
sadly. The play button isn't a huge deal as that the document wont
convert into straight PDF. I finally gave up and decided to batch
convert all of the files and just deal with the embedded content
angle AA9 takes. Sadly this was also a failure since every file
that was converted (1200+) wants me to confirm the embedded content
settings. Very annoying. Any help on these subjects would be
greatly appreciated.

PDF download worked in FFox3 but not in 4. Do I have to wait for a new plug in for PDF files?

I was downloading monthly statements from mutual fund firms. Firefox 4.0 worked fine with the T Rowe Price web site (they must not do anything tricky), but does not work with Fidelity. Firefox doesn't seem to recognize that what Fidelity is offering is really a PDF file. I tested the same action with my same computer and Safari as the browser which worked fine, and I tested the same action with my same computer and Firefox 3.6.16 and it, too, worked fine. Your help screen for PDF files suggest I download "Firefox PDF plugin extension" but when I get there, it says a version for FFox 4 is not available. I probably have that added to my 3.6.16 version and that's why it works there. So I guess I just have to use a different browser until that plugin is available. But it is another puzzle why TRowePrice makes it work with 4.0 and Fidelity doesn't.
Do you have a better suggestion than "just wait" ?

Issues embedding swf in pdf document?

I have created a small application to illustrate Snell's law as a flash file.
The idea is to integrate it in a online educational book and I have already done so with several simple animations.
This was to be my first application with user input other than start/stop buttons.
The application works fine in a browser or as a stand-alone flash file but when I embed it in the pdf file it doesn't execute properly, nothing happens when buttons are pushed to calculate the equations.
This is my first question here so I don't know how to add my application or an example of it embedded in a pdf document but I guess including them from a filehosting site could work?
The swf file:
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/408159/Snells_Law.swf
The PDF file:
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/408160/test.pdf
I used CS6 Flash professional to create the SWF file.
thanks in advance
edit: also including the original fla-file: http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/408478/Snells_Law_3.fla
By moving a piece of code up through the lines I have found that after line 377, nothing gets executed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I see no syntax errors and your code works well so there shouldn't be any issue embedding it. In Acrobat XI I get a preview of the plugin required to view the SWF and I must activate the plugin (very common on windows) by clicking on it. Once I do the SWF embedded in your document works for me, although it doesn't overlap the preview which is stretched to the size of the page whereas the plugin container is the size of the original document. So it works fine for me when viewing as a PDF and if you resize it down to its original document size it should overlap the preview properly. Plugin containers often require permission/activation (a mouse click), that's normal.
I was able to target 10.1/10.2 as the SWF export target rather than FP11. You may want to try downgrading your publish preferences to that which should reduce the overhead of the plugin container. Outside that I see no reason you should have an issue embedding this. I don't have a full copy of master at home to create the PDF to test (openoffice isn't really capable of it) so you'll have to test that yourself but the PDF you linked works for me.

InDesign CS6 exporting to Adobe PDF (Interactive)

Created an interactive form in InDesign CS6, but when I export to a PDF file, using Adobe PDF (Interactive), the purple bar "Please fill out the following form…" is not visible in my PDF file.
PLEASE NOTE: My Adobe Acrobat Pro preferences do not have the check mark on under >Form >Always hide forms document message bar. The check mark is off.
I want the purple box to be visible in my interactive form, yet it is not. WHY????

Because this isn't really an InDesign question, I'd post this in this Acrobat Pro forum:

That's never worked that way for me.

Adding Metadata to PDF Form

Hi, I'm trying to add some metadata to a pdf. I have the follow script in the form initialize event:
if (form1.desc.nodes.namedItem("metadata") == null) then
var oNode=xfa.form.createNode("text", "metadata")
form1.desc.nodes.append(oNode)
endif
I receive the error message:
Argument mismatch in property or function argument
I also tried this code:
if (form1.desc.nodes.namedItem("metadata") == null) then
var oNode=xfa.form.createNode("text", "metadata")
oNode.value = "Test Data"
form1.desc.nodes.append(oNode)
endif
Which gave me this error:
accessor "oNode.value" is unknown
It appears that the oNode object is not being created.
Any suggesting how I can add Metadata to the PDF?

Hi,
This is the code I use to place metadata into the pdf file. If you open
the resulting pdf file using Notepad, the metadata is visible as readable
text in the file. I'm not sure the same approach can be used to add
metadata as viewed under Document Properties. We are not using it that
way. Maybe by changing the node name?
if ((EMAIL_SUBJECT1.rawValue != "")&&(EMAIL_SUBJECT1.rawValue != null))
        var vDesc=xfa.template.data.desc;
        var oNode1=xfa.template.createNode("text", "EMAIL_SUBJECT1");
        vDesc.nodes.append(oNode1);
vDesc.nodes.namedItem("EMAIL_SUBJECT1").value=EMAIL_SUBJECT1.rawValue;

How did you get this to work? I
I'm looking for a way to add/inject values (keywords) into the form's
meta-data by retrieving the info/values from user input.
To test the above solution, I added the following script to the initialize

if (form1.desc.nodes.namedItem("metadata") == null)
var oNode=xfa.form.createNode("text", "metadata")
form1.desc.nodes.append(oNode)
1. Do I need a field on the page?
2. What part of the above script affects the meta-data?
Thanks!

ActionScript in the SWF has direct access to the Acrobat JavaScript model through the ExternalInterface object.
