Does The PDF Format Supports Embedding APNG (Animated PNG)

[Royi A]

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.

Hi Royi A,

The PDF format does not support animated GIF/Animated PNG. for more information, you may refer to the following threads: Animated GIF in interactive PDF

Feel free to update this discussion in case you need further assistance.

@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?

[Dov Isaacs]

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.

See my response above in this thread.

@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.
