How to draw geometrical shapes on Acrobat viewer ?

For instance, empty or transluscent rectangles, lines, arrows etc... I'm not talking about creating these shapes in a pdf file. I'm talking about adding them in a layer of the viewer, on the top of whatever the viewer displays.
And I'd need to do that programmatically but I didn't even see the functionnality from the Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended commercial viewer...
Thanks
Frederic

Put your own transparent window on top of ours and draw whatever you want...

How to draw 2D shapes on the image generated by JMF MediaPlayer?

Hello all:
IS there any way that we can draw 2D shapes on the image generated by JMF
MediaPlayer?
I am currently working on a project which should draw 2D shapes(rectangle, circle etc) to
mark the interesting part of image generated by JMF MediaPlayer.
The software is supposed to work as follows:
1> first use will open a mpg file and use JMF MediaPlayer to play this video
2> if the user finds some interesting image on the video, he will pause the video
and draw a circle to mark the interesting part on that image.
I know how to draw a 2D shapes on JPanel, however, I have no idea how I can
draw them on the Mediaplayer Screen.
What technique I should learn to implement this software?
any comments are welcome.
thank you
-Daniel

If anyone can help?!

How to draw vector shape?

I use following statement to draw a shape
[CODE]for(....){
sprite.graphics.beginFill(..);
sprite.graphics.drawRect(x,y,1,1);
sprite.graphics.endFill();
}[/CODE]
But I find above shape is not vector shape.Because I change the IE size,I find the size of shape don't automatic change. How to use sprite.graphics to create vector shape?
Thanks

Set Flash object size to 100% x 100% in the HTML - then you'll see your drawing changes the size as you resize the browser window.

How to draw a shape with line tool then fill with colour

How can i draw a shape with the line tool and then fill it with colour

Click and drag from one anchor point to the next, making sure that each new line segment begins where the last one ended. The Line Tool will snap onto the anchors.
Once you're done creating what looks like a closed path, the lines are still separate objects. To combine them into one path, select them all and press Ctrl/Cmd+J (for Join) or via the menu select Object > Path > Join.
The Pen Tool can be used in a similar manner, but each segment will be a continuation rather than a separate object. The last (closing) click will be indicated by a tiny circle on the mouse pointer.
If you make an open path, Ai will still "fill" it with a fill color by assuming a straight path between the last open anchor points. Individual straight paths, however, such as those drawn by the line tool, have no "inside", so they won't show the fill color even if you have assigned one.

How to draw a shape to Panel instead of draw to Frame

I have a Frame and add a Panel into this Frame. I want to draw a shape to Panel instead of draw to Frame. how do i do?

You can do two different things:
1) For temporary drawings that will disappear when the component is repainted, you can use getGraphics() on the Panel, draw on the Graphics, then dispose the Graphics.
2) For persistant drawings, subclass Panel and override the paint(Graphics g) method. Anything in there will be painted along with the panel. Start with super.paint(g); when you override for good coding practice.

Slowing Down Arrow Keys when Drawing Geometric Shapes?

I have a MacPro Intel 8-core with 16 GB RAM and running Mac OSX 0.5.6 and AICS4.
I also use a WACOM Intuos3 Tablet.
This is not a new problem - also happened with AICS3.
When I try to draw a shape - say a polygon, or star, etc., the up/down arrow keys on the keyboard do add/subtract sides, vertexes, etc. as they should, but they won't increase/decrease in increments. For instance if I draw a 5 sided Polygon and tap the down arrow while using the polygon tool, instead of giving me a 4 sided polygon, I get a triangle. Conversly, if I tap the up arrow it jumps to maybe a 20 sided polygon, but no way to slow it down to get say a 10 sided polygon.
Does anyone else experience this behavior. Is there a trick i am missing?

It's a very common issue and primarily due to the WACOM drivers from what I see. There is no work around for it that I'm aware of, other than to unplug the tablet.

How to draw filled shapes quickly (especially from multiple strokes)?

Greetings. I'm making a comic for the 1st time and am using Inkscape. My problem is, on paper I'm way, way faster than with a vector drawing program (even when using a Wacom tablet) mainly because I find it difficult to draw shapes with 1 stroke and instead have to spend a lot of time joining multiple strokes into solid shapes.
Is there some features or plugins in Adobe Illustrator that can make this much faster? Or are there other drawing methods that would be much faster ?
I've attached examples of what I want to be done automatically.
The 1st case shouldn't be hard. The 2nd case of dealing with emergent shapes seems to be very difficult for a computer. I also have plenty of programming knowlege, so I would be glad to make a plugin to do this if someone can point me to the right idea.

Which version of Illustrator are you using?
In current versions there is Live Paint and the Shape Builder tool.

How to draw AI annotation on document view during mouse drag

I created a AI tool plugin, when use the tool, I hope press mouse left key and drag in document view, AI will draw a rectangle, when mouse up, the rectangle disappears, just like ordinary select tool. So I wrote a class to implement AIAnnotation, during mouse drag, just let the annotation been invalidated. but I see nothing displayed. In the draw funtion I just use DefineClipStart() and then draw a rectangle using AIAnnotation drawer, at last call DefineClipEnd(). After mouse up call ClearClip(). Could anyone tell me if I made something wrong? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
At the begining of ToolMouseDrag(AIToolMessage* message)
add the five following lines, so toolAnnotate(AIAnnotatorMessage *message) will be called each the mouse will be dragged.
AIDocumentViewHandle view;
AIReal zoomview;
AIErr error=kNoErr;
//To call toolAnnotate.
error=sDocView->GetNthDocumentView (0, &view);
error=sDocView->GetDocumentViewZoom(vue, & zoomview);
I used this method in my tools for Illustrator JLG.Dimension for instance and it works well.
JLG.

1. The Shapes menu is on the toolbar.
Pull down the menu and choose the pentagon shape. That has a sliding controller that lets you choose the number of sides.

Acrobat Viewer - How can I install?

Hello.
I am using a Unix OS with no Acrobat Reader to download.
However there is this Java-Based Acrobat viewer I could download.
I downloaded the all Java-enabled OS variant as well as the Windows variant.
I tried to install
- the all Java-enabled OS variant under Unix (JRE 1.5.1)
- the all Java-enabled OS variant under Windows XP (JRE 1.4.2)
- the Windows-only variant under Windows XP
I called the installer with "root" rights (Unix) / from a user account with local administrator rights (Windows).
In all three cases the installer failed; under Unix the installer simply hangs; under Windows both installers (all OS and Windows-only) give an error message.
How can I install Acrobat Viewer ?
Thanks.
Martin

You'll need to be more specific in your query. When you say, a Unix OS, what kind of an OS are you running? Are you aware that the Adobe Reader is now available on x86 Linux, SPARC Solaris, RISC HP-UX and AIX?
I don't know if the Java based version is supported.

How do I use shapes I create in Adobe Shape?

All the shapes you create with Adobe Shape are stored in a CC Library. This means you can access them in other desktop, mobile, and web apps. Detailed instructions below.
How to access your shapes in Creative Cloud
Desktop: In order for this to work, you must have the most recent version of Illustrator and Photoshop.
Open Adobe Illustrator on your desktop.
Open the Libraries panel (Windows > Libraries)
Your shapes should be present in your Libraries. If you don’t see them there, select the libraries drop down to see if you saved your shapes in a different library.
Now, you can drag the shape onto your canvas.
At this point, you can continue working with your shape, by adding editing. Or, you can simply save the file. Of course, after you save it to your desktop, you can email, post online, etc.
Mobile apps:
Open Adobe Illustrator Draw and open a drawing.
Tap the Shapes icon to open the Shapes menu.
Tap a library name to view the shapes in the Creative Cloud Library. Tap Change Library to select another library.
Select your shape by tapping on it.
Active Slide or Tocuh Slide. You can use Adobe Slide or Touch Slide to place the shape on the canvas. Access Touch Slide by tapping on the circular icon at the top of the menu bar.
Place the shape. Once you have activated Touch Slide, you will see a light rendition of your shape on the canvas. Simply double tap on the shape outline to stamp the shape in place.
Web:
Navigate to https://assets.adobe.com/
Select the Libraries menu item (left menu on the page)
Select the desired library (if this is your first time using Libraries, you will only have one).
This page provide a preview only.
Also, here’s a great walk through video that may be useful: http://helpx.adobe.com/mobile-apps/how-to/shape-get-started.html?set=mobile-apps--fundamen tals--adobe-shape-cc
