Image Sequence | PDF-Article

Is there a way to keep one-finger-gestures work on an image sequence placed in an PDF-Article? I can't move to another page nor article if i try swiping in the image sequence area. The option to change picture by swiping is off.
Thanks.

Is your image seq. covers the screen? Does your image seq. require some actions from the reader?
If its just animation with no interaction from the reader place an invisible button which point to an invisible MSO on top of everything.

Pdf image sequence in QT Pro

I am running QT Pro 7.2.0.
I frequently make Quicktime animations of image sequences of jpeg files using QT Pro "Open As Image Sequence". Works great.
I now have a sequence of pdf files, (created by Acrobat Distiller from postscript files) and when I try to make an image sequence, all the images after the first one are either garbled or blank.
I have looked at each pdf file and they look normal.
Has anyone successfully made QT movies from pdf file sequences? What am I missing?
Thanks.

Thank you.
I don't have to use .pdf's. I am trying to find the most direct path from a series of postscript files to a Quicktime image sequence.
Acrobat distiller will convert a series of postscript images to .pdf's with a single "click".
I don't know of a way to do the same conversion from postscript to .jpg's. Preview requires you to convert each image individually, AFAICT.
I'd be happy to go from postscript to .jpg directly if it can be done painlessly.
These are simple .pdf files. I opened one in Acrobat and checked. I am also able to open the individual files with QT and they look as I expect them to.
If you try to open a series of postscript files with Quicktime Open Image Sequence, the .ps files are greyed out. .pdf files do show up as "openable", so it seems like this ought to work.
I have also tried it with QT version 7.1.6 with the same result.

Bug: QT Pro fails to properly play PDF image sequence?

Hi folks,
I have a series of numbered PDF files that represent an animation. I can open these files as an "image sequence" with QuickTime Pro, but then the resulting movie seems corrupt. Only the first frame renders properly, and the remaining frames are white, sometimes with some garbled information from the PDF. (I'm using the latest version of QT Pro.)
Is this a known limitation? Should QT be able to open a sequence of PDFs properly?
I know that as a workaround I can rasterize the PDFs first, but this isn't really what I need. The eventual goal is to get this animation into Motion, so keeping the vector graphics as vectors for as long as possible is important. Also note that directly importing the image sequence into Motion produces the same problem, so I suspect that this is a QuickTime issue.
Any thoughts?

I believe QuickTime will only show page 1 of a single PDF, I'm not sure if that applies to multiple single-page PDF's within a single mov file though.
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1247.html
So they are saying that if imported as a movie it can display multiple pages, if brought in as a graphic it can't.
Instead of importing as an image sequence, you could open each pdf in QT Player, select all, copy, paste into the final movie (or seperate movies which you could then import) and hopefully you would end up with movies of multi-page pdfs instead of single page pdf graphics. What a mess.

QT crashes with PDF image sequence

A script generates 72 small (ca. 1100 bytes) pdf files as movie frames and I "Open Image Sequence...". The movie, whether saved or not, crashes at a certain point.
All the frame files open without a problem in Preview. By laboriously weeding out the files that cause the crash I end up with a "disabled" folder containing 6 of the original 72 files, so the movie now runs (on the Mac at least) with just the hiccups created by the excluded files.
I next tell QT to open the image sequence containing all the disabled files and, lo and behold, I get another movie that behaves.
Has anybody any idea what might be the problem?

PDF image sequence only shows first frame

Does anyone else have a problem with this? I am trying to make a simple looping two-frame vector animation. Without converting to video or pixels (I need this to stay flexible), what are my options?
I've tried making the layers turn on and off with a square oscillation, but I can't figure out the correct speed for on-one-frame-off-the-next :/
Any tips?

Changed it to four digits and nothing. Previewing the image sequence in the browser shows the second frame as flashing white :/
Here are the images in question:

Large image sequence - dead swipe area

Hi Guys
I have a large image sequence on a page, which means I have a large area that is "dead" to swipe to next page.
I thought I could add over the top a dummy button of a fake 2 state MSO that would be swipeable, but that doesnt work either.
I'm on sprint 19is that the issue? I thought that a "large fake button sitting on top of the image sequence would mean the area became
swipeable again, I used an animated gif in a web view before, but wasnt happy with the Gif image quality, but at least the large area of the web view
box reacted to swipe forward etc.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Alistair

in order to work around this problem you need to create a button that:
a) has a 'click' state as well as a normal state
b) it has to have an action assigned to it.
i fixed this problem using the following method:
1. I created a button that has also a 'click' state.
2. then i created a dummy MSO that is colorless and has two identicle states
3. i assigned the button with an action to switch the dummy MSO states.
now the area of the button is swipable also in PDF articles.
hope it will work for you!

Convert Multiple Images to PDF using iTextSharp?

Hello friends, in my small project i have a button for converting more than one image file to pdf, i made some search in google and found some articles about that i found one that helps me to do that but convert only two images to pdf, and i want to make
it unspecified number of image to pdf
can anyone help me please? how to do that? or give me an article about that
this is my code:
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
string sMergedFiles = @"C:\PDFTest\PdfReport.PDF";\\pdf file path
string sTiffFiles = "C:\\PDFTest\\TiffFiles\\";\\Tiff image files path
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 50, 50, 50, 50);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(sMergedFiles, FileMode.CreateNew));
document.Open();
//here you can loop thru and call AddTiff2Pdf for multiple files
string tiffFileName = Path.Combine(sTiffFiles, "asdf.tif");\\first tiff image
AddTiff2Pdf(tiffFileName, ref writer, ref document);
tiffFileName = Path.Combine(sTiffFiles, "1234.tif");\\second tiff image
AddTiff2Pdf(tiffFileName, ref writer, ref document);
document.Close();
private void AddTiff2Pdf(string tiffFileName, ref PdfWriter writer, ref Document document)
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(tiffFileName);
int numberOfPages = bitmap.GetFrameCount(System.Drawing.Imaging.FrameDimension.Page);
PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
for (int page = 0; page < numberOfPages; page++)
bitmap.SelectActiveFrame(System.Drawing.Imaging.FrameDimension.Page, page);
System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
bitmap.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
iTextSharp.text.Image img = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(stream.ToArray());
stream.Close();
img.ScalePercent(72f / bitmap.HorizontalResolution * 100);
img.SetAbsolutePosition(0, 0);
cb.AddImage(img);
document.NewPage();

Why only two images allowed, cause failure with third ?Oh I used another way before, a third party tool, download and add reference to project then use the following code.There is
no limitation of image amount. Ref this
article.
// Create a pdf document with a section and page added.
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
PdfSection section = doc.Sections.Add();
PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages.Add();
//Load a tiff image from system
PdfImage image = PdfImage.FromFile(@"D:\images\bear.tif");
//Set image display location and size in PDF
float widthFitRate = image.PhysicalDimension.Width / page.Canvas.ClientSize.Width;
float heightFitRate = image.PhysicalDimension.Height / page.Canvas.ClientSize.Height;
float fitRate = Math.Max(widthFitRate, heightFitRate);
float fitWidth = image.PhysicalDimension.Width / fitRate;
float fitHeight = image.PhysicalDimension.Height / fitRate;
page.Canvas.DrawImage(image, 30, 30, fitWidth, fitHeight);
//save and launch the file
doc.SaveToFile("image to pdf.pdf");
doc.Close();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("image to pdf.pdf");

Quicktime Pro won't display JPG or create image sequence

I'm having a problem with QT Pro in that some of my jpg files will open in QT as blank white. When I resize the window, the window blinks with a scrambled image. Same thing happens when I try to create an image sequence.
This doesn't happen on all my jpg files, maybe about half of them. Also, the same files that don't open properly in QT Pro on my Mac Pro open just fine in QT Pro on another computer. These files also open fine in Preview, Lightroom & Photoshop - it's just QT that's having problems.
I've deleted and reinstalled QT with no luck. Any ideas what the problem could be? Help is greatly appreciated...

Try the following:
System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
In the next window that opens up make sure that click on the triangle next to Images - Still image files.
Make all items are enabled (checked) except for PDF Image.
Click the OK button.
Restart your computer.
==============
Take a look in your Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder - if you see any QT plugins or webplugins file there, remove them to the desktop or trash.
Restart your computer.
===============
Are you trying to view JPG files from a browser or from your HD? Asking because most browsers have a +"file helper"+ preference. For Firefox, it's under the Applications Preferences. There, you can select which type of files you can map to the QT browser plug-in.

Flash audio out of sync even as image sequence in Premeire Pro

I'm using Flash CS4 to animate hi-def music videos. It seems that I can't keep the audio to stay in sync for anything over 2 or 3 minutes.
- I'm working a stage at 1280x720 and 30 fps
- audio is streamed on a separate layer
- mp3 publish settings are: stereo 128kbs
Inside the FLA file everything syncs perfect, but when it's published, everything drifts in the SWF and in everything else I've tried.
I've tried exporting image sequences and popping the sequences into premiere pro to match up with the original wave, and i've also put the swf file in a premiere pro project as well. Whether a SWF or an image sequence, it always lapses after 2 or 3 minutes.
I've asked the adobe portal folks and they sent me a link to a "dreamweaver" article...so my regard for their capicity is not high.
Anyone have any ideas? or am I doomed to never animate anything longer than 2 minutes in Flash?
The topper of it all is, I've used a friend's REAL OLD Flash MX and have not had any problems.

no actually all the animation is smooth and plays fine. but in files longer than 2 or 3 minutes the action starts to happen later and later and later until i'm seeing the animation full seconds after the matching sound. this happens when source wavs are matched to published files inside premeire pro too. it doesn't matter the format...swf / mp4 / flv / mov...any encoding of the video matched to the source wav is the same result as the published swf.
it's as if there are more frames in the publish than in the FLA. i guess i could compare and contrast by doing some math and creating some traditional x-sheets and completely disregard the reference streaming audio in the FLA...but that would be a ton of work and disregard the convenience the technology is intended to provide. i guess i'll just continue editing together a bunch 1-2 minute publishes until i give adobe even more money in october...boo hiss.
thanks for your vigilance! i might just be out of luck

Image Sequence Issue

I've got some large pictures I've been asked to make into a sequence and retain as much of their quality as possible, they will be used in a PDF plan report. I started with Flash but it couldn't handle the full size images (5184x3456 - 72dpi). I've moved over to Premiere but I'm getting something weird happening when I import them in as a numbered group. They import fine but only 1 image is being shown in the preview for the complete sequence and the sequence icon in the project is a jpg icon not the little movie film icon you normally get. Any idea what might be happening?
My sequence setting in Premiere is 5184x3456 10fps. There are 17 images and I want them to play about 3 seconds each.
Thank you for your help,
Jenna

Don't import as an Image Sequence.
Start by going into Preferences and change Default Still Duration to 3x your intended frame rate. (3 x 24 fps = 72, or 3 x 30 fps = 90, etc.) Then import all your images normally. When you bring them to the sequence, they'll be 3 seconds long.

I get no response when trying to load Targa files as an Image Sequence. It has always worked in the past.

I just upgraded from an earlier version of QT 7 Pro for Windows to the latest version (QT 7.6.9 Pro). I have always had good results in QuickTime Pro importing Targa (.tga) image files rendered in Alias Maya as an Image Sequence, and then exporting those as a QuickTime .MOV. But now when I go through the steps to import the image sequence, going to the folder and selecting the first image in the sequence, I get no response. The second QT window does not open, and there is no sign that the import has taken place. I've downloaded the QT manual PDF, and there is nothing in there that would tell me anything I'm not doing already.
Any help would be appreciated.

I would think that image size would always be available when there is an active document in Photoshop. The only time I remember seeing messages like that where they should work was during the five month period when Adobe released CS6 with so many bugs which took Adobe five months to fix. During those five month messages like that that should not have happen were common when action switch between documents. Adobe would start processing the next Action step before the document switch completed, Any step that required an active document could fail with a mess stating the command is not available.
Are you by some chance using CS6 version 13.0 CS6 without any updates. Use Photoshop menu Help>About Photoshop. If it shows CS6 version 13.0 you need to update CS6. .

MSO image sequence issue

Hello,
I've been having some issues with some MSO image sequences in my article. I have a few autoplay MSO image sequences that works perfectly in the desktop viewer, but won't seem to play on the iPad. I have Adobe Content Viewer v32.4.2. The weird thing is, there are other autoplay MSO image sequence within the same article in the folio that works on the iPad without a hitch.
Is there anybody that is experiencing similar issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

hi bob, here's the screenshot of the settings in folio overlays panel:
"Show first image initially" is selected
"Auto Play" is selected
Speed is set to 30 fps
Play is set to 1 time
"Stop at Last Image" is selected
Thanks for responding!!

Wacky image sequence issue - flickers

Hi guys,
I've created a simple 2 image sequence I wanted to play through at the top of my DPS document - but when I preview the article (on both desktop, iphone and ipad) the image sequence fails..
I took a quick screencap to show what Im going.

Any advice?

For a two-image effect, I would use a slideshow instead of an image sequence. Not sure what's causing the flicker.

Compressor 3.0.5 Image Sequence import missing

I'm looking at this article
http://documentation.apple.com/en/compressor/usermanual/index.html#chapter=6%26s ection=2%26tasks=true
but I do not have any import option for my version of Compressor 3.0.5. Why? How can I import an image sequence into Compressor?

Nick is right. QT7 is a better choice.
Make sure your images are numbered sequentially.
Open up QT7.
Select: File>Open Image Sequence
Import the files,
Select the Frame Rate
Select Export
Select Quicktime Movie then Options
Set the video codec and audio settings, etc.
Export.
Be happy.

Problem with QT PRO image sequence export

I have quicktime pro. When I export a .avi file into a .bmp sequence, it will name the files like this: whatever0001.bmp, whatever0002.bmp, and so on until whatever8000.bmp, depending on how long the video is. The problem with this is, I need to use the image sequence combined with a WAV file in order to get a certain file format (please, don't ask me what it is). However, the encoder needs to files to be: whatever1.bmp, whatever2.bmp, whatever3.bmp, etc.
How can I get quicktime pro to export the image sequence .bmp pictures like that? And if it's not possible, can you please point me to some freeware that can (OS X prefered, but I can use windows ones).
Thanks.

Why are you using the .bmp format?
