Hello,

Does the PDF Format (According to its standards) support embedding APNG (Animated PNG) in a PDF document?

Namely if I create a PDF file with APNG in it, can I expect teh animation will be shown in PDF viewer?

Thank You.

@AnandSri, Please pay attention, I wasn't talking about GIF.

I was talking about APNG.

Thank You.

Hi Royi A,

I apologize for the inconvenience caused. The APNG  or Animated GIF is not supported by the PDF format.

However, if you want this feature to be included, you can fill the Wish Form(Feature Request Form): Feature Request/Bug Report Form

There is no PDF Standard Wish Form there, right?

So what exactly should I do?

PDF is absolutely not an Adobe standard. We do not control what is or is not supported by the PDF standard.

Adobe transferred ongoing augmentation and maintenance of the PDF standard to the International Standards Organization.

The current PDF standard is ISO 32000-2 PDF 2.0.

Any changes to the PDF standards are made by ISO TC171, not Adobe.

It is like you're automated response.

Are you reading what I write?
There is a list there to chose but you can't choose "PDF Standard" in the list, right?

Since the PDF standard doesn't support APNG I need to apply a request to the people who set the standard not developers of Adobe Product.

@DovIssac, This is exactly what I wrote above.

Since it is a PDF standard there is no point in the link AnandSri referred me to as none of Adobe products has anything to do with the standard.

AnadSri,

Thank you for your forum efforts.

But it seems you need to better read what people talking about then just automatically refer them to non relevant link.

The question is, how can users express their needs to the committee of the PDF standard.
