How To embed a flash in pdf through pdftron

[Priya007]

Hi,

I want to embed .swf files or audio/vedio files in pdf. Can anyone
tell me how can I do this. Is their any sample for this?

You would need to create a custom annotation type with "RichMedia"
Subtype. Please note that RichMedia annotation is a proprietary
Adobe's extension (see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/adobe_supplement_iso32000.pdf)
and is not part of ISO32000.  The code would look along the following
lines:

// Assuming C# (JAVA,C/C++,VB is similar)
// This is a drop-in replacement for Annotation sample project

using pdftron; 

using pdftron.Common; 

using pdftron.Filters; 

using pdftron.SDF; 

using pdftron.PDF; 

namespace AnnotationTestCS

{

/// <summary>

/// Summary description for Class1.

/// </summary>

class Class1

{

        private static pdftron.PDFNetLoader pdfNetLoader = pdftron.PDFNetLoader.Instance();

        static void EmbedFlash(PDFDoc doc) 

        {

            string input_path = "../../../../TestFiles/";

            pdftron.PDF.Annot a = Annot.Create(doc, Annot.Type.e_RichMedia, new Rect(12, 632, 604, 771)); 

            Obj dict = a.GetSDFObj(); 

            Obj  mc = dict.PutDict("RichMediaContent"); 

            // Embed the flash file. 

            string flash_file = "header.swf";

            FileSpec fs = FileSpec.Create(doc, input_path + flash_file, true); 

            fs.GetSDFObj().PutString("F", flash_file);  // Not sure if this is right for non-ascii file paths. Hopefuly in this case UF should be taken as authority. 

            fs.GetSDFObj().PutText("UF", flash_file); 

            // Create/find the asset NameTree. 

            NameTree assets = pdftron.SDF.NameTree.Create(doc, "Assets"); 

            assets.Put(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("header.swf"), fs.GetSDFObj()); 

            mc.Put("Assets", assets.GetSDFObj()); 

            Obj config = doc.CreateIndirectDict(); 

            config.PutName("Subtype", "Flash"); 

            Obj instance = doc.CreateIndirectDict(); 

            instance.Put("Asset", fs.GetSDFObj()); 

            instance.PutDict("Params").PutName("Binding", "Background"); 

            Obj instances = doc.CreateIndirectArray(); 

            instances.PushBack(instance); 

            config.Put("Instances", instances); 

            Obj configs = doc.CreateIndirectArray(); 

            configs.PushBack(config); 

            mc.Put("Configurations", configs); 

            // Optional: Fill-in RichMediaSettings dictionary 

            // Obj  ms = dict.PutDict("RichMediaSettings"); 

            //... 

            // add annotation to the page. 

            Page page = doc.GetPage(1); 

            page.AnnotPushBack(a); 

        }

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            PDFNet.Initialize();

            try

            {

                using (PDFDoc doc = new PDFDoc("../../../../TestFiles/numbered.pdf"))

                {

                    doc.InitSecurityHandler();

                    EmbedFlash(doc);

                    doc.Save("../../../../TestFiles/Output/our.pdf", SDFDoc.SaveOptions.e_linearized);

                }

            }

            catch (PDFNetException e)

            {

                System.Console.WriteLine(e.Message);

            }

        } 

}

}

The above sample code referenced following Flash file:
http://www.pdftron.com/assets/flash/header.swf   (which you can save under PDFNet\Samples\TestFiles\).

For example of how to extract flash movies and other RichMedia from
PDF please see:

Hi,

Thanks a lot for this solution. It's really working fine.
Your answer has solved one of my biggest issue.
Thanks again :)

Is it possible to embed Vedio/Audio file in my PDF through PDFTron.

It will be really greatful if you can provide me any solution for
this.
