Animated Magazine from PDF

I'd like to know to create one of these animated magazines
where the pages can be turned with the mouse (links to examples
below), but I have little idea of what might be involved. This is a
long shot it know but... is there some kind of generator that I can
download that converts PDFs into animated magazines.
Anyone with any idea, please let me know.
Thanks!

  • Linking data from PDF form into Indesign CS6

    Hello all,
    I'll be working on a magazine which has a large section of day camps technical descriptions :
    name, contact info, location, short introduction text, activities icons (they have to choose up to 5 icons from a total of 12)
    Is it possible to link data from a fillable PDF into predetermined and prestyled text boxes in Indesign CS6?
    Would it be necessary to export in an Excel sheet prior?
    What would be the best trick in order for the icons to place themselves automatically, if possible?
    Thanks in advance

    When placing a PDF into InDesign, it's a flat piece of art for each page included. There's no way to manipulate form fields or work with links or anything like that.
    The data from the form would have to be collected and converted into an Excel file for placing into InDesign. (Collecting data from PDF forms and converting the Excel format can be done in Acrobat Pro.)

  • How can I paste diacritical marks from .pdf to iTunes (or anywhere)?

    hello everyone,
    I have a question and I don't know exactly where to post this so I cam to macforums for some inspiration (I hope this is the right thread).
    I have a .pdf with diacritical marks from roman transliteration of Sanskrit and I would like to paste a word exactly how it looks in the .pdf but when I paste it anywhere it looks like this
    Ma‰galäcaraŠa
    when it should look like this
    Maṅgalācaraṇa
    It took me about 2 minutes to type that word using the US extended keyboard layout function. But I have a lot of lyrics that I want to paste to iTunes songs and when I paste into iTunes it looks like this
    Ma‰galäcaraŠa
    So, I lose the diacritic marks when pasting and it is indecipherable.
    Does anyone have any experience with this?

    Hello Don,
    It is nice to get your post. Actually, I am USA citizen but I have been to India 6 times. I have about 120 GB of original recordings of live kirtans, mainly from people who I have met and were kind enough to give me there recordings. So, most of the songs they sing come from a nice English version which uses diacritcs. So, I wanted to paste the lyrics onto my ipod so I can sing along anywhere and learn the songs that way.
    The book is called Gaudiya Gita Guccha (2003). Here is a link to the book (it's the 6th one down).
    http://www.purebhakti.com/resources/ebooks-a-magazines-mainmenu-63/cat_view/53-b hakti-books-download/31-english.html?start=15
    There is a nice temple in Berkeley, just about 1/2 mile from the univ.
    Hope this helps! And I think Tom answered correctly about .pdfs - I can't paste diacritics from .pdfs to another program.
    Sincerely,

  • How can I copy text from PDF and include the source filename in the pasted selection?

    I'm a biologist and frequently cut-and-paste notes from PDFs of scientific articles.  I name all of the PDF articles with their PubMed ID, a short unique identifier (e.g. 19397482.pdf).  When I take notes, I will select a few sentences from the PDF and then paste them into a text editor for later reference. 
    Can anyone suggest a method or script that would allow me to paste the copied text with the Pubmed filename included in a single action?  I would want the pasted output it to look something like this, with the filename appended to the end:
    Of the transcripts that were significantly different, there was a greater number of transcripts that were down-regulated in the IVC embryos (380) than the number of transcripts that were up-regulated (208).  [20668257.pdf]
    This would really help me to properly cite information sources during the writing process.  I know there are bibliography managers that might be able to do something like this, but I prefer to read the PDF articles directly in Preview and select the text as I am reading. 
    Thanks very much for any suggestions / ideas.
    jjw

    To copy and paste in a single action:
    tell application "Preview" to activate
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Preview"
        -- Get the PubMed ID:
        get the title of the front window
        set thePubMedID to word 1 of result
        -- Copy the selected text to the clipboard:
        keystroke "c" using {command down} -- ⌘C
        delay 0.25 -- adjust if necessary
        -- Add the PubMed ID to the contents of the clipboard:
        set theNotes to the clipboard
        set the clipboard to (theNotes & space & "[" & thePubMedID & ".pdf]")
    end tell
    tell application "Notational Velocity" to activate
    tell application "System Events"
        -- Paste the contents of the clipboard to the end of the Notational Velocity document
        key code 125 using command down -- ⌘↓
        keystroke return & return

  • How to download an animated .gif from a web page

    how do i download to my mac an animated gif that is on a web page....when i want a picture or text or something like that i just ...apple shift 4 and "take a picture of it" ...but i want the animation..i have never had to do that on this mac.....a windoze person from the site(chat site) said just right click but my wireless mac mouse doesnt do that....i would appreciate any help.....i do know how to down load from a site that has downloadable .gifs...you just click the download sign they have and no problem....but this is just a random animated .gif from a web page ....i hope my ques is clear....thank you

    Drag and drop it from the webpage onto your desktop. Note that it won't remain "animated" while you're looking at the file's icon, but it should work if you build it into a new website.
    And you can right-click with a Mac mouse - you just have to set it up to do so in System Preferences. (Set the right side of the mouse to be a "secondary click".)

  • Help with exporting data from pdf form

    I have about 100 pdf forms that I created in adobe forms central and distributed as a pdf form (rather than on the web). I am trying to export the data into a spreadsheet but when I export it, the fields are all jumbled in the csv file, as in they are not in the same order. I need to export the data all together so I'm going to the forms menu and selecting "manage form data" and then selecting "merge data files into spreadsheet". I tried exporting a single file but that gave me something really weird.
    Please help, I have a deadline next week to analyze this data and can't make sense of it once it is exported to a spreadsheet.

    Would you please share your form with me and send me one of your pdf forms and some of the csv files?
    You can share your form by doing the following:
    1. Click on the “Share” icon on the bottom left corner.
    2. Click on “Add Collaborator” on the popup menu.
    3. Enter [email protected] under “People to share with”.
    4. Set subject to "Export data from pdf form"
    5. Click the “Share” button on the bottom right of the dialog.
    Thanks

  • Converting from PDF directly to Java Objects/XML (and PDF format questions)

    Hi,
    I posted this originally in the Acrobat Windows forums but was told I might have more luck here, so here goes:
    I am desperately trying to find a tool (preferably open source but commercial is fine also) that will sit on top of a PDF and allow me to query it's text for content and formatting (I don't care about images). I have found some tools that get me part of the way there, but nothing that seems to provide an end-to-end solution but is quite lightweight. My main question is WHY are there so many tools that go from PDF to RTF, and many tools that go from RTF to XML, but NONE that I can find that go PDF to XML.
    To clarify, by formatting I simply mean whether a line/block of text is bold/italic, and its font size. I am not concerned with exact position on the page. The background is that I will be searching PDFs and assigning importance to whether text is a heading/bodytext etc. We already have a search tool in place so implementing a pure PDF search engine is not an option. I need a lightweight tool that simply allows me to either make calls directly to the PDF OR converts to XML which I can parse.
    Some tools I have tried:
    1) PDFBox (Java Library) - Allows the extraction of text content easily, but doesn't seem to have good support for formatting.
    2) JPedal (Java Library) - Allows extraction of text content easily, and supports formatting IF XML structured data is in the PDF (not the case for my data).
    3)  Nitro PDF (Tool) + RTF to XML (script) - This works quite nicely and shows that PDF to XML is possible, but why do I have to use 2 tools? Also, these are not libraries I can integrate into my app.
    4) iText (Java Library) - Seems great at creating PDFs but poor at extracting content.
    I don't really expect someone to give me a perfect solution (although that would be nice!).
    Instead, what I'd like to know is WHY tools support PDF to RTF/Word/whatever retaining formatting, and other tools support RTF to XML with the formatting information retained. What is it about PDF and RTF/Word that makes it feasible to convert that way, but not to XML. Also, as I found in 3) above, it is perfectly feasible to end up as XML from PDF, so why do no tools support this reliably!
    Many thanks for any advice from PDF gurus.

    XML doesn't mean anything - it's just a generic concept for structuring
    information.  You need a specific GRAMMAR of XML to mean anything.  So what
    grammar would you use?  Something standard?  Make up your own?
    However, there are a number of commercial and open source products that can
    convert PDF to various XML grammars - SVG, ABW, and various custom grammars.
    But the other thing you need to understand is that most PDF files do not
    have any structure associated with them (as you saw when using JPEDAL).  As
    such, any concepts of paragraphs/sections/tables/etc. Are WILD GUESSES by
    the software in question.

  • How to read/extract text from pdf

    Respected All,
    I want to read/extract text from pdf. I tried using etymon but not succed.

  • How to create ICon/Cursor from pdf files

         I was able to create ICon from jpg file without problem but I couldn't create ICon from pdf files.
    Here my code:
    var myDoc = app.newDoc();
    myDoc.importIcon("myIcon"); // it worked when I chose a jpeg image, but it didn't
    //when chose a pdf file.
    icon = myDoc.getIcon("myIcon");
    oIcon = util.iconStreamFromIcon(icon);  
    myDoc.closeDoc(true);
    app.addToolButton({
                   cName: "myButtoon",
                   oIcon: oIcon,
                   cExec: "app.alert('Someone pressed me!')",
                   cTooltext: "Push Me!",
                   cEnable: true,     
                   nPos: 4
       //app.removeToolButton("myButtoon");
    My goal is to create buttons which have icons from a pdf file (stamp) and when user click on these buttons, the cursors become the icon . And then, when user click on the document, the iCon will be showed in the document. The point is: is there anyway to create icons/cursors/stamps from one pdf file. Because the stamp is changeable, when user changes the color/shape of the pdf file, the icons/cursors/stamps will automatically change
    What kind of pdf format do I have to use?
    I used the sample "SignHere.pdf" in stamps folder of Acrobat but it didn't work.
    Thanks.

    The SDK has all the information - but certainly there are only samples for those common actions that users have been doing for years.  Most developers don't recreate stuff already present in the application - such as the Stamp plugin - so we don't have samples of such things.
    But all the pieces you need are present in the SDK - it's just necessary obvious.  You will need to learn about the details of how the plugin APIs work to create the toolbars and toolbuttons, and then how to handle cursors.  You will then need to learn about PDF details in order to be able to take an existing PDF, potentially modify it (eg. Change the color(s)) and then place it onto another PDF.  
    The methods you listed are from JavaScript - there are alternative methods for plugins, such as the AVConversion APIs.

  • How do I convert from pdf to word? I see an option to do so, however, when I click on it, Ia box opens...

    when I try to convert from pdf to word, a box opens and suggests I am to click on (select) the file I want to convert. It sounds all well but it does not work. I really really just want my files back in word, all of them, no matter, because after having to reinstall windows 7 (done by techs) and me having to re-download all my HP drivers, and tools, and other software, which I imagine included adobe reader, now I see some pdf files won't open. It says, "access denied" and boy that really makes me wantt o scream. I am the ONLY user, it is my notebook, I am the administrator so I can't figure out why some files open and some don't. I can't ascertain any difference.
    I would be grateful for any help. This has become just too exhausting. After reinstalling sooooooooo much, then to have to go through this with what is a free application? I say I think not.
    This should NEVER happen with any free application and boy there is NO help to be found. They blow you off the phone fast telling you it's a free application. Then why are you putting in this kind of  stuff that it won't open? This is NOT a shared notebook, it's mine. I am the only user, personal use.
    HP probook, if anyone needs that info.
    Please, will someone help?
    I would be so grateful.
    thanks,
    Gina

    Gee, Pat, this is a  real big help.
    Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
    Maybe someone else has an idea.
    Take Ownership of a File or Folder
    The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
    Thanks for the help. Have a great year.

  • How do I export from PDF to PPT so that shapes created in Illustrator are editable

    How do I export from PDF to PPT so that shapes created in Illustrator are editable, not just text on top of them? I used the Acrobat XL Pro technique described here (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-to-powerpoint-pptx-converter.html), to export a graphic I had created in Illustrator and saved as an Adobe PDF file, but shapes are not editable and are fuzzy too. Is there a way to export a complete Illustrator graphic to PowerPoint?

    Thanks Bill. Of course I realize I can insert an Illustrator drawing into a PPT without making it a PDF first. What I’m trying to do is insert a drawing from Illustrator that is still editable in PPT (a client request). Using the Acrobat XL Pro capability shown in this video <http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-to-powerpoint-pptx-converter.html> , only the text is editable in PPT, not shapes created in Illustrator.

  • How do I convert a file located in my e-mail from PDF to Word.  I can't seem to save it in my word files.

    How do I convert a file located in my e-mail (that is secured) from PDF to Word.  I can't seem to save the PDF file anywhere.

    Hi williamf,
    For starters, please try triple-clicking in the Word document where you want to edit the text (sometimes, that's what it takes to select text in Word). If that doesn't work, I'd be interested in hearing more about the PDF file that you converted and the method that you used to convert it. For example, how was the PDF created (and by what app)? Did you convert via Adobe Reader (what version) or via the ExportPDF website?
    If you can tell us more about the file, we should be able to get to the bottom of things.
    Best,
    Sara

    How can I get my magazines from newsstand(on my iPhone) onto my iMac??? Help me pleease

    HI..
    The apps used on an iPhone run on the iOS system. Your Mac runs on the Mac OS X.
    Two different operating systems, hence you can't run apps that run on your iPhone on your iMac and vice versa.

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
    Regards,
    Judith.
