Looking for a Programmer to Create A YouTube "Embed" Plug In

Hello everyone,
I am Looking for a Programmer to Create An Acrobat Pro "Embed" Plug In based on the free YouTube API.
The purpose of this is to be able to easily embed YouTube Video's within Acrobat documents so that It can stream the content into the PDF file.
Many have suggested to download the content and embed it, but doing so will violate the user agreement with YouTube plus it would increase the size of the PDF file consideribly.
If there are any Programmers out there that would be interested in taking this project on please let me know. I believe there is a real need for this tool which people would really like to have.
The programming goals for the project would be as follows:
1. Take the Free YouTube API and create a plug in for Acrobat that would allow you to easily embed content into any PDF.
2. The "Embed Plug-In" Would essentially allow you to just copy and past the embed codes from YouTube, Hulu, or any other web source that provides an "Embed Code" so that the content can easily be placed within the PDF.  This embeded content could be videos, audio, playlist systems, ads, etc.. "anything with embed codes."
3. You would be able to select an area of the PDF for the placement, paste the code and then be able to resize the content window. i.e. for YouTube Files.
The Market for this is as follows:
- Web Based Magazines, or Flash Magazines that were created with Indesign, Acrobat then Flash. They can easily then create interactive content, with ads and multimedia. Anyone cab be interactive publisher then, no need for Flash Programming Skills.
- Educational Institutions that want to create lesson materials with Web Content.
- Business's that wish to share media elements from the web within PDF presentations.
If you need examples of how this might be used please contact me to discuss it further.
Thanks for your assistance.
Regards,
Robert

Since I only found the plug in yesterday I've only played with it a little bit.
First thoughts:
It works.  It's easy to set up.  I followed the instructions and I had a link working to our promotional video on youtube in only a couple of minutes.
Things I found:
I am using layers extensively in my pdf and wanted the plug in window to show up on only one layer.  However as I mentioned before it doesn't do that so my workaround was to change the settings in the video to play in a floating window.  However the plugin window is still visible if you do this, so my workaround was to reduce it to essentially a dot on the page and hide it on something pale grey!  I created a button in InDesign and used that to fire the video.
Security stuff:
Obviously the pop up windows are somewhat frustrating but I see no way to get around them without doing what Joel suggested in his other blogs, which given the amount of users receiving my pdf and their varying competence levels with computers is not really an option.  My workaround for that was to include a note explaining what to expect and do when they did show up.
For the future:
See if Adobe would make this an option in InDesign and usable within it's layers section.  That would be awesome.  I haven't had a chance to check out the addin Joel mentioned that might help with this in Acrobat.  Have you?
Thanks for the other tips on embeding html etc - always good to find new ways get around problems.

    Hello everyone,
    I am Looking  for a Programmer to Create An Acrobat Pro "Embed" Plug In.
    The purpose of this is to be able to easily embed YouTube  Video's within Acrobat documents so that It can stream the content into  the PDF file.
    Many  have suggested to download the content and embed it, but doing so will  violate the user agreement with YouTube plus it would increase the size  of the PDF file considerably.
    If there are any Programmers out there that  would be interested in taking this project on please let me know. I  believe there is a real need for this tool which people would really  like to have.
    The  programming goals for the project would be as follows:
    1.  Take the Free YouTube API and create a plug in for Acrobat that would  allow you to easily embed content into any PDF. The content must be PC & Mac Playable within the Latest Version Reader.*
    2. The "Embed  Plug-In" Would essentially allow you to just copy and past the embed  codes from YouTube, Hulu, or any other web source that provides an  "Embed Code" so that the content can easily be placed within the PDF.   This embeded content could be videos, audio, playlist systems, ads,  etc.. "anything with embed codes."
    3. You would be able to select  an area of the PDF for the placement, paste the code and then be able see a preview of the content, then be able to  resize the content window. if it resizable like YouTube Files.
    4. You need to be able to "Add" to the defined the "Trusted Source" from the Emebed Code information so that it does not require every instance of the content loading to require the user to select "Allow" each time it loads.
    The  Market for this is as follows:
    - Web Based Magazine Creation, that turn into  Flash Magazines that were created with Indesign, Acrobat then Flash. This process  would easily allow anyone to create interactive content, with ads and  multimedia. Anyone cab be interactive publisher with no need for Flash  Programming Skills which is currently what is needed to achieve much of this process.
    - Educational Institutions that want to create  lesson materials with Web Content.
    - Business's that wish to  share media elements from the web within PDF presentations and Business Materials, such as training materials, Marketing Research, etc..
    If you need  examples of how this might be used please contact me to discuss it  further.
    I have a project that I am working on that needs this type of functionality and the deadline is approaching so I am seeking any and all help  I can find to reach my goal. This Plug could also be a plug in to Indesign as well. Whatever it will take to reach the desired goal.
    Thanks  for your assistance.

  • Looking for a way to create/edit a newsletter online, then be able to generate a customized PDF file

    I am looking for a way to be able to customize a newsletter online, then be able to export/generate a PDF file from that newsletter.
    Basically this is for a friend that is a real estate agent, and currently she is creating the newsletters in MS Publisher. I'm hoping to find a way to be able to allow her to login to a secure area of her webpage(that part isn't a problem) but then be able to create/customize a monthly newsletter that needs to be customizable.
    For example, the August Newsletter will be 2-sided, and most of the newsletter will be the same, but she needs to be able to have a newsletter for different apartment buildings so the customers can just go to their building link/area on the webpage and be able to download that month's custom PDF file that has a portion of the main newsletter that is a table/list of properties for that specific location.  The data will be stored in a database.
    After writing the above, I can probably create a front-end to the database so she can enter everything that way, but I still need a way for her to generate the customized PDFs after she is done with that month's data.
    I was hoping Adobe had something that could be used, or am I stuck using php or Javascript and just doing this with custom scripting?
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!
    John

    I was hoping Adobe had something that could be used, or am I stuck using php or Javascript and just doing this with custom scripting?
    I think you will have to do the latter.  While you are thinking about writing the PDF file, don't overlook fpdf (google it)....

  • Looking for sample code to create my own pub/sub!

    I am a new bee in JMS. So I would really appreciate if
    some one could give me some hint to start up with my school project. I am looking for a sample Java code that will:
    For the Publisher:
    1. Connect to a broker [create it, if it does not exist]
    2. Create a publisher/destination.
    3. Create a pub-sub queue
    4. Publish a message
    5. Ack or Nak depending on if the subscriber got or did not get the message.
    For the Subscriber:
    1. Connect to a broker [create it, if it does not exist]
    2. Subscribe to the broker
    3. Subscribe to the Queue
    4. Show an received messages on the console.
    Here are the command line params for both the Publisher and subscriber:
    runPub 127.0.0.1:7676 myTestBroker myQueue "this is my message"
    runSub 127.0.0.1:7676 myTestBroker myQueue
    Please tell me if there are similar java code that will do all this and work with ANY JMS compatible client. i.e. I should not have to use the Admin tool of any JMS Server (MQSeries, iPlanet, SonicMQ etc etc). The code should follow the JMS spec and do this programmatically.
    Thank you very very much in advance for doing this great favor.
    With regards,
    Amir.

    Thanks a lot for that hint. I think that's a great tutorial for a beginner. I could compile those sample codes from chapter 4 with out any problem, but could not run it. I also installed j2sdkee1.3.1 and updated my classpath according to the spec. But when I tried to run the "j2ee -verbose" command it was giving me the following error message:
    ERROR: Set J2EE_HOME before running this script.
    Any advise for me that I should follow next. Thanks again.
