You have mentioned that as a desirable thing before, but how would it work, what would it do, and how would one go about writing such a plugin? I especially don't understand how there could be a perl plugin for the Acrobat Reader -- I remember reading about "Penguin", which was supposed to allow for safe execution of untrusted perl code in a "sandbox", along the lines of what's possible in Java, but wouldn't the Reader have to come with a perl interpreter and it's own perl sandbox already configured and ready for plugins? -- --Ed Cashin PGP public key: ecashin@coe.uga.edu http://www.coe.uga.edu/~ecashin/pgp/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

If you embed an annotation, acrobat will complain that it cannot find the plugin. This means that any plug in that registers itself, like the web and movie ones, implements a particular annot functionality. So, if we define a parallel to javascript, say perlscript, and make a proper plugin, I think it should work. That's how all plugins work I guess. The api is documented and afaik available on the adobe site. I must have a dev kit somewhere; one needs to get a plug in id code from adobe, but that's not the problem. The perl plugin would operate outside the reader. Maybe the active state people know more about that, since they have something called perl script.

No. Only movies (mov, avi). >How to translate it to .mov? Or what else video format is usable? Maybe there is a gif to avi converter. All converters to mov are commecial as far as I know. When I needed it, I asked a friend, who used adobe premiere.

Or what else video format is usable? You can use the gimp (http://www.gimp.org) to make simple movies (gif and mpeg -- don't know about other formats). Make sure you install the latest developer version (1.1.23 by now) -- it is quite stable and has good movie tools.

I am working on Linux and haven't tested the support for video with acrobat. Does it need a plug-in or is it built into the reader? BTW I don't think mov is a special format, isn't it? So their can be different movie formats in a mov-file -- like there are different types of quicktime formats ...
