Re: Convert flat PDF to interactive PDF

E.g. with KDE's Okular, annotations, forms and playing movies are listed as in development (see http://okular.kde.org/formats.php).

The graphics/mupdf port supports it, but the port is built _without_ javascript by default. Using e.g. print/pdftk you can uncompress the streams in a PDF file, so you can edit it in any editor. This would allow you to see which stream contains javascript. Using that and the relevant adobe documentation, you should be able to add javascript to your own pdf files.

I am think about giving print/scribus-devel a try out. Acrobat XI is a pretty nice application, but if I could find something that worked in a similar fashion for a non Windows system, it would be nice. The work I am doing is for a municipality, so cost is not an issue, job security is. If I can do the same job on a non Windows machine, the odds of someone else being able to do the same thing are greatly reduced. If I use Acrobat XI, anyone would be able to do the job making my presents less of an issue. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
