INM PDF Xtra for Director - Release Notes for Version 3.0 - 3.0.1
 

New Features

  • Now supports Adobe Acrobat/Reader 6.0 on Windows and on Mac OS X, version 10.2.2+
  • Limited support for PDF documents on Mac OS X. PDF documents open in a separate Acrobat/Reader 5 or 6 application window, instead of directly within Director's stage
  • There is now a set of FDF behaviors, which allow Director to read from and write to FDF files that can be interpreted by PDF documents containing form controls

Improvements
In version 3.0.1 of INM PDF Xtra on Windows, the Acrobat/Reader application is now launched in a different manner, with the result that several related issues are fixed and overall performance is improved:

  • There is now no need to use a dummy PDF sprite to keep the Acrobat/ Reader application open while moving from one PDF sprite to another. The Adobe application will remain open as long as Director or the projector is open
  • Because the Acrobat/Reader application is only launched once during the movie or projector, there is a great improvement in the speed of opening successive PDF documents
  • PDF_LaunchAcrobat can be used to launch a specific version of Adobe Reader from CD-ROM and this application will remain open throughout the movie or projector. Therefore there is no need to worry that an installed version of the Reader will be automatically launched from the user's hard drive
  • After calling PDF_LaunchAcrobat, there is no need to wait for any length of time before displaying a PDF sprite. When the method returns, the Adobe application is completely loaded and ready to display documents
  • At authoring time, starting and stopping a movie containing a PDF sprite is now quicker
  • On Windows, with Adobe Reader 6, the application would sometimes hang when a user clicked the PDF document [fixed]
  • On certain Mac OS X configurations, the PDF_Open method was not working correctly [fixed]
  • On Mac OS 8 & 9, the Xtra was not recognized by projectors created with Director MX. Build number 3.0.1r124 for Mac OS Classic resolves this issue
