Can I dynamically import pdf into swf?

Hi All,
I need to be able to dynamically import an external pdf file into my flash .swf and display it within a movie clip on the timeline. --with pagination. Is this possible with Flash CS4?
Thank you for reading. I have been out of the flash game for about a year now. However, a situation has arisen where I need to create a swf movie that loads an external pdf, paginates it, and displays it within a movie clip in the swf. Is this possible or will I be forced to only provide a hyperlink to the pdf?
Thank you so much for your time.
Pete

You should be able to use getURL("pdflocationhere.pdf"); - but I believe thats totally dependent on how the users computer is set up. If they don't have Adobe Reader, it will probably fail, or will attempt to load the pdf within a modern browser that should have the reader plug-in. From my experience, when using getURL() within a projector, it will attempt to open the filetype based on that specific filetype's default opening program which is set in the OS.

Can I quickly import PDFs to Adobe DPS for the iPad?

Hi
Is there an easy and streamlined way of porting our magazine PDFs over to the iPad in DPS?
On my last attempt I created both orientations and placed the PDFs on the page as I would an image.
What I am wondering is, is there an easier and quick way to import PDFs into my pages?
I'm using CS 5.5
I expect not but I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Thank you
Roy

That's great Lohri, I used the script this afternoon and it worked saving me hours of extra work.
Do you know where I may find a version of this that adapts UK A4 pages to the vertical orientation and fits it to the page proportionally. The script stretches the page to fit the proportions of the iPad.
I did this manually but I was hoping someone may have adapted the script to suit. Unfortunately I'm not a coder!
I hope you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Roy

How do you get rid of the white background when importing.mov into SWF ?

i'm working with a .mov file importing it into SWF
example here of the object: http://www.highlandmeditation.com/?page_id=2288
is there a way in Flash CS4 where i can remove the white background that surrounds the movie?
its not on the .mov file originally only when i port into SWF
thanks for your help

Well when you are finished drawing a picture when you select it you are able to make the drawings background transparent so when you put it on top of something else the background doesnt show up or you can have the background visible.

This is not a feature of Adobe Reader. You'll need either Acrobat or a subscription to one of the web-based services that Adobe offers (like PDF Pack) to do it.

Loading PDFs into swf dynamically

Is it possible to load a PDF into a flash app dynamically, much like you can with a jpg?
I know FlashPaper is available, but that doesnt do anything as far as allowing for dynamic loading if you need to load PDF dynamically
I need to load pdfs dynamically and get displayed after converted within Flash Player
Any Solution ?
Thanks

Couple of quick questions... For the Textfields:
a)Do you have the textfields already on stage (in other words
your "5 or so" comment in your first post is fixed to the number of
textfields you put on stage). If so, what the names of the
textfields and in what scope (e.g. main timeline or inside a clip
called "textHolder" etc.
b)Or do you want them created dynamically by code? If they
are to be created dynamically by code, are they to be placed in
fixed (scattered) locations or is there a pattern - e.g. are evenly
spaced? If the positions are fixed and do not fall into pattern...
then what are they (in sequence) or if they are in a layout pattern
please describe it.

Importing PDF into Indesign

Is it possible to import PDf documents into the current version of Adobe Indesign ? I am currently testing the software and was wondering if it would be possible to import around 50 of my already published PDF docs to work on it and redesign it with Indesign ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi @plummerdesign and @MasterStudios - indeed, it is a crying shame our website does not work in IE and they are looking into this. Thank you. We do not have a demo for several reasons and can understand your point. We do have numerous forms of detailed video demsontrations on PDF to InDesign via PDF2DTP here and we have some awesome testiominals from graphic arts industry experts, Frank Romano, Michael Jahn, Joe Marin and more (click on the hyper links on their names to view what they say about PDF2DTP).
One of many customer quotes we have include this:
"Really pleased to have this product [PDF2DTP for InDesign]. The Beta version was really good and saved me loads of hassle with amends to pdfs."
Graham Bell - http://www.absolutegraphics.co.uk
Another quote is:
“We have a lot of PDFs from „Word“ ;-) Before PDF2DTP, we used PitStop for the corrections, now we can do it better! As a recent example, we had come in an advert in PDF for a meeting. The ad was in RGB, Fonts not included, the trim and bleed were not correct, etc. I open it with the PDF2DTP plugin and it works very nice. A little bit of touching-up work on the pictures and the colours, but not much… Thanks for the app!”
Dirk Rosenplänter
Blueprint Werbeagentur e.K.
Hopefully this helps you see how useful and yet still affordable PDF2DTP for InDesign is. It is truly a gem, especially when all you have left is the said PDF! Thank you for the feedback and we will strive to better that side of it, for sure.

Importing PDFs into Documaker

We are in the process of refiling our contracts for a new look-and-feel. The vendor is supplying us with PDFs, but they import into Documaker as embedded graphics. The problem is: we have a lot of text on them that we want to make dynamic (depending on state-specifics, etc).
Does anyone have any ideas about how to cleanly import PDFs? Or maybe someone has a conversion utility that works well (we have had great success in importing Word docs into Studio).
Thanks in advance.
Dave

Hello,
There are three options for doing the same. I am just giving from our earlier experience.
1. If you are going to use Documaker Studio 12.0, you will have an option to import PDF directly as you could do an RTF or Doc.
2. If you are using an earlier version,
a) You may convert the PDF to a Word Doc or RTF using one of the available utilities and import the RTF or Doc. Only from 11.5, you have an option to directly import Word document. Prior versions support only RTF import.
b) There is an utility called "Quark" which aids in converting PDF to Sections or FAPs. However, it did not give us a 100% clean conversion; we did lot of clean up with respect to alignment, font etc after the import in order to make it appear as per our expectation.
Thank you.

Convert Multi Pages PDF into SWF SLideshow

Is there an easy way to convert a multiple page PDF into an
SWF slideshow?
What I need to do is to make a slideshow out of a 30 pages
PDF, hoping to have it play slide by slide automatically with a 5-7
seconds interval.
Help appreciated!

Thank you isabellarola!
However the link you posted only tells you how to import a
Flash video into a Powerpoint Presentation. I actually need it the
other way around, which is PDF to SWF. I tried SWFTOOLS but the
result is very disappointment and the options are limited.

Can Flash CS5 Import PDFs?

I have a contract where I'm having to bring a lot of PDF documents into Flash. These PDFs can't be imported into Flash directly so I'm opening them up in Illustrator CS4 and then copying and pasting it into Flash. This works fine. However, it would save me time to be able to just import a PDF directly into Flash.
Does anyone know if this is in CS5?
Thanks!
Scot

Well I found one work around, if you set your Player to Flash Player 9 in the publish settings, when you import it will be Classic Text. Not ideal, but it works.

Import PDF into Framemaker 7?

Greetings
Using FrameMaker 7 in Windows XP.
I have some 11 × 17 drawings (created in AutoCad) that I receive in PDF format. They are high quality line-drawings. When I zoom in they are of high quality, the print menu shows them as 200dpi and the print quality is very good.
I need to import them into Framemaker but when I do, they come in at what is clearly NOT high quality. The notes can't be read and the like. I've tried opening them in Photoshop (low quality), I've tried doing Save As.. and choosing JPG (low quality). I even tried saving as RTF.. same thing.
Ultimately, what I want is to bring the high quality pdf image into Framemaker, but it's not retaining the quality.
I've seen some suggestions in the forum, but none that seem to address this situation.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Solon

The "200dpi" was something I observed at some point, possibly when I had copied/pasted into Photoshop, I'd have to look at it again. When these paste to Framemaker, or are saved as RTF, or I use the Acrobat tool for 'grabbing' images (Sorry,don't remember the name), they look AND print like 72dpi or something. I can't read the notes and callouts, so I can't use them.
Solon,
Arnis is definitely correct, there shouldn't be any "dpi" applicable with a CAD PDF. Should be vector, although "resolution independent" is often not completely true, since many CAD apps convert curves (bezier, spline) to polylines consisting of many straight segements.
I say Auto-Cad because in the lower-right corner, with other document information, it says "Auto-Cad - No Manual Changes" and I know we have people who use Auto-Cad.. perhaps it was "UG" ... apparently another drawing program.
I can zoom and zoom and zoom.. but I didn't zoom to the end of the earth. If they're vector, they'll never lose resolution, right?
If it's vector, should I be able to open them in Illustrator? (I recall being unable to, but I've tried so many things I may not have tried Illustrator)
AutoCAD and UG (= Unigraphics) are able to create vector output. Yes, you should be able to open such a file in Illustrator.
I don't scale them to fit pages, I get them as 11 × 17 (I turned on the rulers to confirm). Though if I print one and it prints on 8.5 × 11, it's a delightfully clear drawing. Better readability than if I put the image in Frame or save as RTF then print on 11 × 17.
I'm beginning to suspect that you're right in the 'bad PDF' idea.. I was surprised that I couldn't open one in Frame.
All the things you describe sound like a well-known problem: Are you trying to print on a non-PostScript printer? These are exactly the symptoms:
- Acrobat prints PDFs clearly, because Acrobat itself rasterizes images for output on non-PS printers.
- FrameMaker prints 72dpi preview images, because EPS (and converted PDF) images are only correctly interpreted by a PS printer driver
- Doing anything image related using RTF is a bad, bad idea in any case. Regarding vector graphic it's a bad, bad, bad idea
I'll be back at work tomorrow morning, I'll check a couple of things out. One person has suggested I get a copy of a program that'll translate the DWG file (I have access, if I need it) to other formats.
So, my question now is if it IS Vector, will I be able to zoom the PDF in acrobat and basicaly never lose resolution? (I always thought that once you PDF it you lose the zoom capability).
If a PDF is vector, zoom capability is preserved. Illustrator opens PDF and DWG, which gives you control over line weights and colors. Better than doing it in Acrobat. Anyway, a placed vector PDF in FrameMaker 7.x should work, but is only printed correctly when using a PS printer or the Adobe PDF printer. Same with EPS. One bug with PDFs in FM7: Black/greyscale PDFs appears on *all* four color separations.

Problems Importing pdfs into iBook and sync to iPad air 2

Is there a solution to what appears to be a widespread problem within the community? That of not being able to import books in pdf form into iBooks and subsequently syncing with an iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.1. This seems to be specific to pdfs not 'purchased' from iTunes. In the past I have had all my software manuals available on my iPad, synced with my iMac, all working happily and would dearly love to return this situation.
I then upgraded to iOS 8. Big mistake. iTunes on the iMac (OS 10.6.8) does not sync pdfs to new iPad.
Try syncing from MacBookPro (OS 10.10) still no luck.
There are suggestions to use iTunes, but there is no longer an option to view 'Books' in iTunes.
Can anybody offer a work around until such times as the collective 'apple digit' is removed and a not so 'minor bug' is fixed?
Are Apple working on this problem or even aware of it?

Have you tried the shortcut to add books/pdfs Command Shift O?
Command Shift O is not available in iBooks (Greyed Out)
Command Shift in Finder shortcuts to Documents
Maybe I didn't explain myself very well earlier. When I am working in iBooks, having control clicked multiple files and selected 'Open With iBooks' to get the pdfs into iBooks, (as per your suggestion) a click on a pdf icon initiates nothing, a double click causes the pdf to open in Preview. This I can achieve from the Finder.
The reason I haven't tried to sync from the MBP is that I rely on iPad iBooks as a reference source. At the moment it is working but not the way I want it to (Sync via iMac 10.8.6). When Ibooks on the MBP is finally OK, then I will try.
Thanks for hanging in there.

How can I open a PDF into an iBooks folder other than PDF folder?

How can I open a PDF directly into a folder in iBooks other than the PDF folder? I have different folders made and am currently having to open into the PDF folder and then move to the correct folder. Can I open directly into the needed folder?

No, I don't think so. The pdf isn't capable of knowing which folder you would like it to open in – all it knows is that it is a pdf. It's up to you to put it in the appropariate folder.
