Hi,

I have an interactive visualization (an info-vis of js scripting available at the moment as svg) and I would like to (somehow) embed it into the pdf form.

At first sight, I thought I might try to use Tools>Rich Media but it did not function when I simply convert my svg into swf.

I do not know if my question is something feasible, I will appreciate any comments/hep/advice.

    Hi Gamzes,

    We apologize for the delay in response to your query.

    If we understand your query correctly, you are trying to embed a svg file into the pdf form?  Using the Rich Media feature of Acrobat DC you can embed a swf file in it following the steps mentioned in help document here-

    Add audio, video, and interactive objects to PDFs in Adobe Acrobat

    However, you first need to convert the svg file to swf file to complete the process. SVG is a native format for Illustrator and this file format is not supported to embed in pdf. You can refer to the related thread here- svg to pdf conversion 

    Regards,

    Hi Gamzes,

     

    I managed to get some limited svg in the browser like functionality as described here : It is not straightforward though as events are triggered by the mouse coordinates which are triggered by a setInteval loop and I had to create a mapping system so that the pdf document is told what elements cover which coordinates of the page...I would love if there was an easier way to do this.

     

    Kind Regards,
