After all, Acrobat 9 was importing SWF files without any problems. Then, this year, with the release of CS4, it looked like a new dawn was shining down on SWF files. Over the years, most of us simply gave up trying to add SWFs to PDF documents. Adobe would do something to fix how SWFs would play and then Apple would do something else to destroy it. Unfortunately both Apple and Adobe began to play a game of “tag, you’re it” blaming each other for the problem. (What was not widely known at the time was that on the Mac, all movies, sounds, and SWF files were handled by the QuickTime application.) Something bad happened that caused a version of QuickTime to no longer properly handle running SWF files in PDF documents. Sometime later the Dark Ages descended onto the world of interactive PDF. This was known as the Rennaissance period for interactive PDF documents. One of the coolest things we demonstrated was how you could add SWF movies from Flash into the PDF files. But bear with me.īillions of years ago, (around the time of Acrobat 5) I wrote a book with two friends all about the interactive features in Acrobat PDF files. I can’t tell you what a long and sad story this is.
