Dear Director Folk, On Monday I finally got around to looking into PDF export. I am now posting a PDF export parent script that exports vectorShapes and text to PDF.
Features: -outputs a PDF 1.1 file if transparency is not used, a PDF 1.4 file transparency is used -horizontal justification of text -vertical justification of text -bounding and justifying text acording to a width and a height parameter -fonts limited to Helvetica, Helvetica-Bold, Times-Roman, Times-Bold, Times-Italic, Times-BoldItalic, Courier, Courier-Bold, and Symbol (I haven't tested Symbol) -transparency (results in a PDF 1.4 file) -stroke width -stroke color -fill color -built in circles, half circles, quarter circles, stars, half stars, rectangles, lines -exports vector shape vertexList to Bezier curves with holes (with an offset method to position the vector shape) -a few other features It could use more documentation, but I'm in the middle of a project and just threw this example together so it would be available to anyone who wants it: http://www.bluejade.com/public_resources/director/bluejade_scripts.zip Shockwave version (can't export) displayed at http://www.bluejade.com/public_resources/director/bluejade_scripts.html Load directly into Director via the message window: go movie "http://www.bluejade.com/public_resources/director/bluejade_scripts.dir"; --save-as both the external cast and the .dir before exporting the PDF The stage to PDF export example is available from menu->vector shapes->PDF export. Clicking the "click to export" text places screen.pdf in the moviePath folder. I hope people find this useful. If you make any improvements, please let me know. The PDF version 1.5 reference is downloadable from the Adobe site: http://partners.adobe.com/asn/tech/pdf/specifications.jsp Regards, Daniel [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
