Pdf in swf

Hi,
I want to import PDF-Data to a FLA movie but the import from
Flash isn't
very accurate. With swftools I can convert a Pdf perfectly to
an swf but
when importing the swf into Flash the import doesn't work
very well again.
I want to have editable text in my FLA and accurate graphics.
Is it
possible?
TIA

Not with a product from Adobe (at least not yet). The only
way that I have seen people do this is with FlashPaper (convert the
PDF to FlashPaper) then use the FlashPaper API and the TextSnapShot
function to capture the text. However, I'm not sure that it will
give you quite the editability you are looking for.

Missing images in pdf and swf

When I print to FlashPaper (2.01.2283) my pdf and swf result
files don't contain the logo image in the word document. Is there a
workaround for this. I was able to generate a correct pdf using
pdf995.com's free converter. But I would like also to provide the
site with Flashpaper, as I've been able to do this for all the text
only documents.
Thanks.

I think I've narrowed this down to the AVG Linkscanner. Turned it off and all images are present and correct.

Hi,
I have a similar requirement where I need to show the preview of a document in a popup.
I have a button and I added "af:fileDownloadActionListener" into the button, then I wrote the following code in my bean for the downloadactionlistener:
public void showPreviewDownloadListener(FacesContext facesContext,
java.io.OutputStream outputStream) throws IOException{
DCIteratorBinding agr = getBindingsForDCB().findIteratorBinding("xyz");
Row row = ag.getRowSetIterator().getCurrentRow();
String fileName = (String)row.getAttribute("FileName");
String fileType = (String)row.getAttribute("FileType");
BlobDomain file = (BlobDomain)row.getAttribute("FileData");
try {
InputStream inputStream = file.getBinaryStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int count;
while ((count = inputStream.read(buf)) >= 0) {
outputStream.write(buf, 0, count);
inputStream.close();
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
file.closeInputStream();
docPreviewInlineFrame.setSource(fileName);
//ADFUtils.setEL("#{pageFlowScope.docSource}", "../"+fileName);
ADFUtils.invokePopup(docPreviewPopup,true);
catch(IOException ioex) {
ioex.printStackTrace();
when I'm clicking my button, all it does is open a popup to view/download the while.
My own popup (with a dialog and an internalFram in it) does not get invoked at all.
Also the file that I'm referring is from DB, can anyone also suggest me how to set the source for the inline frame if the file is from DB?
Thanks in advance,

Hi mate

Thanks for guidance Ross,
As suggested by you, I have used server side technology to run it in the backend from www.swftools.org

I have refered to all documentation related but with no clue.
Could you please sort me out how to put navigation button and zoom option button in generated swf?
Thanks in Advance.

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.

Convert pdf to swf using Flashpaper2

When I convert a pdf (from client) to swf using Flashpaper2
the Flashpaper SWF pages are longer or taller than the original pdf
pages...so a white area appears above and below the content of each
converted page. These pages have alot of images in them. Anyone
have any ideas as to how to get the pages to match the originals
perfectly? Thank You

This is an issue about pdf to swf conversion, some pdf files contain images may result in the problem of the compression and the resolution balance.
And it will fit in with the flash player but ignore proper ratio of the content. But i am using a pdf to swf converter which will automatically shrink or stretch the image size for the swf image.
But still look forward to better solution about this........be well!

Convert pdf to swf

Is it possible to convert a pdf to swf file using acrobat?
I have a pdf file with 300 individual links (auto generated hyperlinks with a csv file and acrobat plug-in) and wish to convert to swf while keeping the links intact. I tried flash paper, but that did not convert functional hyperlinks. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Creating a "tabbed" image in an exported PDF or SWF

I posted about this last year, well in advance of actually doing it, and thought I had the correct answer (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3759403#3759403). However, now that I've had a detailed look at CS6 and tried to create a "tabbed" PDF (my original term, but more correctly called a multi-state object with interactive buttons), I find that it can't be done. Although maybe it can, hence this post.
I'm trying to make a file (PDF, SWF, whatever) exported from CS6 that can be opened by virtually any novice computer user without hassle. i.e something like a PDF; something my grandmother could open and marvel at the cleverness of her grandson. Here are some options I've tried.
Method 1
Export a "tabbed" image from CS6 to Interactive PDF format. Unfortunately, "tabbed" images don't tab. Or have I not ticked the right options when exporting?
Method 2
Export to SWF format, with the HTML option ticked. But that seems to generate two separate files: an swf file and a .html file. Clicking on the latter opens the file in a web browser – so far so good, and it works like a charm – but I don't like the idea of two files when I send them to my grandmother. I suppose I could encapsulate both of them in a zip file, tell her to open that, and then open the one with the suffix .html… but you can see the process is getting complicated, probably beyond my poor old Nanna.
Method 3
Export to PDF (Print). To get this to work for "tabbed" images, this is what I envisage (not yet tried).
Say I have three images that I want to overlay and tab between, like you can do in Photoshop. I set up multiple interactive buttons (Next, Back, Skip…), appropriate text anchors, and whatever else is needed, on three separate pages, with the three images in identical locations on those pages.
The user comes to the first image, checks out the image, then hits Next. The page seems to instantly change to the next image (on the next page).
The user then hits Next or Back or Skip.
In the above thought experiment, I think I have simulated "tabbed" images at the cost of additional pages. Any novice user could easily open the document, though I'd have to make sure the navigation is very clear and simple to use.
I welcome any comments on obtaining "tabbed" images from a document exported from CS6.

Thanks Bob. I posted a short while ago, but have edited that post.
With further playing around I was able to get your suggestion working (exporting to SWF, then placing, then exporting as Interactive PDF). Why would I be disappointed if I tried that method with an entire document? My document will probably contain about 200 pages, and maybe 20 of them would have "tabbed" images. What problems would I come across, other than the extra time involved in separately generating 20 pages of "tabbed" images.
[Added after some testing]:
One problem I have found is that text is rasterised.
When I export a page from InDesign to SWF, and then open the SWF file in Flash Player (Projector), text is a vector.
When the SWF file is imported back into InDesign, and exported as a Interactive PDF, the text ends up rasterised…
But if I export as SWF, the text is not rasterised.
CS6 is rasterising the text within a SWF file when it exports to PDF. Is there a way of exporting an SWF file to Interactive PDF so that text is not rasterised?

Using Acrobat to create a PDF from .swf files

I'm trying to beef up a standard powerpoint presentation into something i could have more control over, and was considering Acrobat as it would (i hoped) allow me to import .swf files from Flash. In reading up on just how flexible acrobat is though, it doesn't really seem to have all of the functionality that i want - if anyone could offer feedback on the following, that would be great in terms of clearing up the queries that i have beforehand!
essentially, i want to create a PDF file which will open fulllscreen on any machine with no toolbars, windows, additional content in the window except my PDF content. So i would have a central shape/box, which would be white, on which i have text.
I want this to open centrescreen, fullscreen, with no acrobat reader branding / navigation visible at all. Similar to the way a powerpoint document would open, however - i don't want Adobe Reader to scale my PDF at all.
I've set my canvas in flash to 1024x768, and i would want Reader to display my file at exactly 1024x768 pixels, and not scale the document up to suit different monitors. So in a way, utilising something like you could with a Flash projector file where you could set the fullscreen's "allowscale" function to "false" (keeping the document at exactly 100%) and the actual fullscreen call itself to "true" (display the document in fullscreen mode, taking over your entire monitor).
Also, i would want to specify a 'background', which is simple in flash as i can just create an oversized movie clip with whatever i want to appear in the background, and this will cover any excess area in monitors that exceed my canvas size. (So i usually create a movie clip of an image or gradient for the background that measures 2600 x 1600 pixels). Will acrobat be able to render this correctly, or is it just going to display the actual canvas size and exclude my oversized 'background' movie clip? If i use my 1024 x 768 canvas, will it clip the big background movie clip to fit?
Thanks folks... bit long winded but i just wanted to make sure i've covered the bases!

Like it or not, InDesign is a color managed application, and your files are all being managed.
You'll always have less grief if the working spaces match the output, but that isn't always possible. If you want to to convert to the profiles specified in the CSF file, choose one of the "Convert to Profile" settings and select the correct profile as the destination. You'll have two options, preserve numbers, or don't preserve numbers.
Preserving numbers will cause colors to shift, but will preserve 100% K blacks. Not preseving numbers will change the numbers to give you the closes match possible in appearance, but will royally screw up your 100% K type if going to press.

Unable to generate a PDF from SWF

Hi,
I am using SWF file as my form. I am unable to generate the form data into PDF with pdfgenerator Livecycle ES2.
Does anyone facing the problem?? any help on this....
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Even we are trying to convert SWF file to PDF file and it is not working out. I believe that we should have Acrobat 9.0 or higher in order to use Generate PDF service. We have Adobe Reader version 9.3.1.

Interactive PDF with .swf issues

Hi,
Currently I am a graduating Senior in college and am trying to put together a PDF Portfolio for a few events and job applications. I had created a full page animation within InDesign CS5, and exported to a .swf.
When I place the .swf into the document, it is at full page size. However when I export the file an Interactive PDF, the animation appears with a one inch white margin around the full page animation.
I had gotten the animation to work once before, but unfortunately I forgot the process and cannot locate the tutorial online...and still being in school revisions (and due dates) are approaching. The settings for both the .swf and Interactive PDF are left to their default settings when I export them.
Thanks for the help!

Did you resolve this?
I'm having the same problem and can't fathom out how to correct it.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Multipage PDF with SWF files

I'm creatinging a multipage PDF document that has mulitple swf files embedded in it. For example on Page 1 I'm showing a DataGrid and the user has the option to change the datagrid to a columnchart, with the same type of stuff on page 2. When you go from page 1 to page 2 the swf file on page is basically 'unloaded' and if I print the document while on page 2 I can only get the inital view, the data grid, to show up. Is there a command that basically keeps all the swf files loaded so I'm able to print the columnchart on page 1 if I'm on anothe page? I'm new to flex so I'm probably not explaining this well.
thanks,
Bob

PDF from SWF ?

Hello, I have a SWF which accepts a clients text into a text
input box.
That text is them formatted and output into a dynamic text
box.
The client OK's it, and then I use Loadvars to send the data
to me, however I also want an image of what the client did.
Is there any way to convert that SWF dynamically to a PDF or
other graphic format without using an application server ?
Thanks kindly for any tips.

Convert a PDF to SWF??

I desperately need to know how it's possible to take a multi-page PDF (actually, over 120 of them) and convert them to flash/.swf format to make them available via our website.
What Adobe program is there that can do this, now that Flashpaper is dead? (And, even that, we tried to download the trial copy to see if it worked, and it bombed out.)
Right now, we're using Design Standard CS3 and we're aware we probably need to upgrade to be able to do this, but what program will let us do this?? The PDFs we need to convert are provided by clients of ours, so they're not something we created ourselves, and are mostly created from scanned copies of pages they had in-house. In other words, it's not like an InDesign document that we could just re-convert.
(I just spent three hours trying to find the answer, and couldn't find it ANYWHERE. So, forgive me if it's been answered already, and please provide a link!)

If you're new to actionscript...but familiar with other
object oriented languages, then you should be able to do this. If
you are not familiar with object oriented coding it might be a
little amitious to start with. Not wanting to discourage you...just
to make sure you don't get frustrated by trying to learn too much
at once.
I have not actually used AlivePDF yet...I have not needed it
so far. But I have heard great things, and Thibault Imbert /
ByteArray definitely has a lot of valuable conributions to the
community. I haven't looked, but I suspect its not a 'component'
but a class that you need to use in code - in which case my comment
above applies. Actually I just googled...here's an intro that
should provide more insight:

Here is an tutorial/example of using the JPEGEncoder class
