Each + frame of an animation is associated with an OCG that is hidden or made + visible in a dynamic fashion by means of Adobe Reader's built-in JavaScript + engine. + It supports the usual PDF making workflows, i. e. pdfLaTeX and LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf (Ghostscript). The resulting PDF can be viewed in current Adobe Readers on all supported platforms. - The first release of `animate' was based on the work by Jan Holecek and Petr - Sojka: - - http://www.fi.muni.cz/~xholecek/tex/pdfanim.xhtml - - Meanwhile, the package was rewritten to use Optional Content Groups (OCG), - aka PDF-Layers. OCG-based animations are fully supported by Adobe Reader 8, - but have some performance issues. Playback is usually slower in Reader 8 - than in previous versions, which is probably a bug. - - The old, non-OCG approach is still available if the package file - `animate-noocg.sty' is used instead of `animate.sty'. However, options - `autoplay', `autopause' and `autoresume' are not functional in Reader 8. - Moreover, the animation position and the play/pause buttons are not properly - reset on page change. This is due to usage restrictions that Adobe imposed - on some important JavaScript methods in Reader 8. - Note, this file only gives a summary of usage and available package and command options. Please refer to the documentation `animate.pdf' in the `doc/' directory for details and examples.
