Description raiten 2007-07-10 20:51:14 UTC

like http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=16036, it would be great
that export pdf could support animation & transition.
this is supported by pdf

see chapter 8 and 9 of http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html

We export slide transitions but we have much more transitions then Acrobat Reader.
Therefore it is possible that you see another slide transition in the Acrobat
Reader then the seleced in OOo.
I didn't found information about custom animations in PDF.
Please tell me where I can find information about custom animations in PDF.

Comment 2 raiten 2007-07-17 12:59:09 UTC

i think slides transitions can be soled as one of the following options chosen
by user
- export only one which exist in both
- same but default chosen transition when none exists in pdf
- no transition.

Main point is animation. i've seen a pdf magazine with a lot of them, but i need
to find again the link.
else in pdf reference, version 1.7, animations can be done, i believe, through
3D streams (9.5.2) and transition actions (p. 670).

i'll try to find the above example when i will have more time in a few weeks.

This is an enhancement.

Please note pdf could also have embedded video which, i believe, is not
supported at this time.

I consider this feature is much important since there isn't a portable Impress
Viewer. As a result, hardly for a people to take odp files with himself anywhere.

Animation in pdf, I think, should deal with one situation first. That is, some
contents are overlaid by a textbox which appears after an extra click.

Comment 7 david1313 2010-01-26 21:07:43 UTC

I would definitely use a pdf export option to place the simple appear/disappear 
animations on separate pages of the pdf file.

Comment 8 monsieurrigsby 2010-10-22 14:49:31 UTC

I would agree with david1313 that basic Appear animations are by far the most 
crucial and useful; and probably the simplest to code, since this is "just" 
looping through the appeared elements, generating a new PDF page for each 
"snapshot". (I appreciate that the OpenOffice internals might mean this is *not* 
so simple to code!)

And I'd also guess that Appears animations are by far the most common of all the 
custom animations.

The extension ExpandAnimations does exactly this with "appear" and "disappear" animations (http://github.com/downloads/monperrus/ExpandAnimations/ExpandAnimations-latest.oxt).

Sadly this OXT is not longer available.
