Can I Package a SWF+XML into a PDF Container?

I've got a SWF that I've built in Flash Builder that reads an external, local XML file. I'd like to create an external process that effectively packages the \bin-release folder into a single PDF that would then play the animation which is reading the also packaged XML file. Ideally, I could have an external process that would modify the contents of the XML, package it up with the SWF into a PDF, and then export the final PDF output as a single file.
Effectively, I'm trying to mimic a feature found in our Business Intelligence software which does exactly what I'm describing (see the first bullet of page 4 of this document).
My plan is to have a separate source system generate the XML on demand, and then trigger whatever process needs to package it up with the static SWF and produce the final PDF output. I'm open to using anything, even if it's just calling some command line utility (I assumed Adobe had one but I can't find one).
This is different from printing to PDF, because the SWF will need to play inside the PDF. This ability was added in Acrobat 9.
Any ideas or leads would be helpful, thank you for your time.

You can also "share" via iCloud.

Can I merge 3 jpeg files into one PDF on one page?

Can I merge 3 jpeg files into one PDF on one page? For example: scanned newspaper article was too big for one scan process, I had to scan article 3 times. Can I merge these 3 jpegs and position them like columns?

Do you have Acrobat? If so, you can use the Add Image tool to place your images on the page where you want them to be. Alternatively, you can combine all 3 to a single PDF and then send that PDF to the PDF Printer, selecting the Multiple option to get them to appear on a single page of the new file.

How can I convert a word file into a pdf and then upload to a web site?

I need to convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
site. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

Hi there,
There's actually an easy streamlined way to do this using Acrobat.com. Here are the steps:
1. Log in to Acrobat.com with your Adobe ID.
2. On the left, you'll see a navigation menu that includes the item "Import and Edit". Click that.
3. Choose the .doc (Word) file you want to convert and upload it to Buzzword.
4. After making sure that it looks the way you want it to, go to the top menu (still in Buzzword now, not the organizer where all your files live) and click the document menu. There will be an option to "Export" - choose that.
5. When prompted to select filetype, choose "Adobe PDF" and press OK.
6. It'll save to your desktop, so now you have to get it into your acrobat.com organizer. To do that, close the Buzzword document by clicking the little "x" in the upper right corner, under the Sign Out button. This'll get you back to your organizer, where you can choose "Import" from the left nav menu again. This time choose your new PDF file.
7. Select the file icon in the organizer and click the Share button. Or, select Share from the file context menu.
8. Select Allow Anyone With A Link To Share This Document to set the document to open access, and then click Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is copied onto the clipboard.
9. Open the HTML file and paste the code into the file. The Flash previewer can display any file type that you can convert to PDF.
Hope this helps! Good luck, and let us know how it works out.

InDesign CS6 - Can you add Google Walking Tour into a PDF document or interactive pdf?

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to add a Google Walking tour into my pdf document. I tried using the HTML feature in InDesign CS6 but all i get is a static image of a map. Acording to the features of InDesign this should be working correct? Please let me know if this is possible or not. Thank you!
this is an example of the kind of a tour i am talking about:
https://www.google.com/maps?q=churchill+downs+apartments&ll=39.668589,-104.889007&spn=0.00 7325,0.016512&sll=39.669082,-104.889653&layer=c&cid=6959793594299031036&panoid=xDKaTZWvSuU KbJAQUvKKcA&cbp=13,304.18,,0,0&hq=churchill+downs+apartments&t=m&z=17&cbll=39.66918,-104.8 90121
I've copied the HTML that Google provides for embeding but no success yet. Thanks!

That will work in DPS, but not, AFAIK, in PDF.

How can I Load Real-Time XML into SWF

Hi,
I am a newbie and I need to load data from an XML file but the data is changed constantly. Is there a way to have the SWF refresh instead of caching the XML content at the first load.
My current code is as following:
var index:Number = 0;
var myxml:XML = new XML();
myxml.ignoreWhite = true;
myxml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void{
          loadData();
          setInterval(loadData, 3000);
function loadData(){
          var messages:XMLNode = myxml.firstChild;
          if(index >= messages.childNodes.length)
                    index = 0;
          var my_message:XMLNode = messages.childNodes[index];
          _root.status_1.htmlText = my_message.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
          _root.status_2.htmlText = my_message.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
          _root.status_3.htmlText = my_message.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
          _root.status_4.htmlText = my_message.childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;
          _root.status_5.htmlText = my_message.childNodes[4].firstChild.nodeValue;
          _root.status_6.htmlText = my_message.childNodes[5].firstChild.nodeValue;
            index++;
myxml.load("data.xml");
BTW: the XML is going to be on a remote site.
Thanks

you can append a changing varialbe to the data.xml file name to prevent cache retrieval and you can use a loop to periodically load the data but your biggest issue will be loading a cross-domain xml file. you will need to add cross-domain policy files to the xml hosting site or use a server-side file to serve as a gateway between your swf and the xml file.

Can I combine multipe .swf files into one?

Hello. I'm testing InDesign CS4 and it's ability to export a layout to a .swf file for viewing as a digital edition. I'd like to export multiple layouts and combine them into a single .swf file which can be read together. Is this possible, or would I have to combine all the different InDesign layouts into one before exporting?

SWF files as I understand it aren't editable. You'd need to combine your layouts in InDesign ahead of time.
If you were exporting XFL files to open and edit in Flash, it's possible but there are technical issues. Each page becomes a single symbol, named by its page number. So if you have multiple XFLs to import into Flash, they will have the same names for the symbols. The current issue of InDesign Magazine (NOT a free download) has a article that goes into all this in detail.

Can a password be dynamically entered into a PDF upon opening?

Here is the goal I am trying to accomplish:
1. I need to upload an existing pdf via webpage form and have my webserver/script apply a password to the file upon saving it a directory on my website.
2. When a user clicks on a hyperlink to view the uploaded pdf I want my webserver to enter in the password so that it can be viewed by the visitor without them knowing what the password is. I want to use this method to prevent diversion of the document's content. If the visitor saves the pdf they will not have the password thereby diversion will be prevented.
Is this possible?

It's not even possible with LiveCycle - there is no way to "inject" any password credentials into Acrobat or Reader from a remote server unless you were to write a custom plugin - which given the costs and complexities of working in Protected Mode that's not likely to be realistic unless you're dealing with tens of thousands of fee-paying users.
With certificate security you can tie a PDF to a user's pre-existing digital ID, but they must of course have one to start with, and send you their public key in advance and as you cannot use Acrobat on a server, implementing it would involve significant costs to licence the PDF libraries required.
Using LiveCycle you can tie a PDF to the login credentials of a user on your LiveCycle server, so only they can open the file - however there's no way to tell the person using the login is actually the person assigned to it and LiveCycle is an enterprise product - it's expensive to purchase and you'd have to manage all the user accounts.

Embedding xml into a pdf

I have a LiveCycle form that fills its dropdownlists from an xml file. It will be on a server, where the client can click a button on a webpage to download the pdf. The data in the xml file will change every now and then.
Is it possible to refresh/reload the data from the xml file only when the pdf is pushed to the client? Or only embed the file on the download? A LiveCycle server is not out of the question here.

How can i add or create Layers into existing PDF File

How can i create or add new Layers into new or existing PDF file using DLE JAVA API (Datalogics API)

sandyrock,
The PDFL, as Adobe distributes it, only has a C/C++ interface.
The JNI APIs are developed and supported by Datalogics, the company you licensed your copy of the PDFL from. Have you contacted them? Support for their API extensions to the PDFL should be included with your licensing fee and they have many tips and ready-made examples specific to their API extensions they could give you.

Can a form user enter pictures into a pdf?

Just a new user... I want my inspectors to be able to insert pictures into a description line. Is this possible?

As Kevin suggested it is totally Customization.
In OIM first time while setting QA it brings the question from Lookup but after that it reads from the PCQ table only.
So as you want that User should be able to set his own Questions then no need of any Lookup *(APMK)*. You can build your custom JSP to enter Questions as well as Answers and send these data to PCQ table. It should be in Encrypted Format.
Next time when User Logs in it wil fetch the questions from PCQ table and validate the answers from that. So no need of Question Lookup.
Question Lookup we use because we want to show same questions to everyone and it is configurable and we can change the questions as per client requirement.
In your case your user are entering there own questions.
