    embedding flash files in pdf

    plutonak Community Member

      Hello,

       

      as far as I know, it is now possible to include flash movies in pdf files that can then be viewed with Adobe Reader.

      I am more interested in controllable flash files with for instance, a slider that control a mathematical parameter of a curve for instance.

      Let's simply imagine the function f(x)=sin(ax) where parameter could be controlled by a slider to graphically see how f(x) depends on a.

      Is this possible with flash files? If yes, could then these files be embedded in pdf files?

       

      thank you

          You can embed any SWF file in a PDF using the tools in Acrobat Pro. There are security restrictions on local file access and shared storage of data, but in terms of graphical display and interaction with the user they can do whatever you want - it's a Flash programming question rather than a PDF question.
