- Now supports Adobe Acrobat/Reader 7.0 on Windows and on Mac OS X, version 10.2.2 +
(on Mac OS X, PDF documents open in a separate application window, instead of directly within Director's stage)
- Online Help: The user manual is now available in searchable Flash/HTML format,
for easy access while working in Director. Click Xtras > PDF Xtra > Help
to open the help system
- When PDF documents are downloaded from URLs, progress indicators are now displayed automatically. They can also be turned off
- On Mac OS X, PDF_LaunchViewer, PDF_CloseViewer and PDF_AcrobatInfo methods are now supported in addition to PDF_Open
- The default Adobe application launch scheme has been simplified to provide a more
consistent user experience across varied end-user configurations. The result is that the global option Acrobat/Reader/Any has been removed from the PDF Xtra member options dialog box, and a new method, PDF_LaunchViewer() replaces the former PDF_LaunchAcrobat() method to explicitly launch the Reader or the full version of Acrobat
- The PDF_Print method is simplified, so that it only takes a single parameter, to specify
which sprite channel contains the PDF document; it always displays the Print dialog box to allow the user to select printing options
- Due to changes in Acrobat/Reader version 7, drop-down menus and some other JavaScript funcitonality, such as calculated fields are not supported when Acrobat or Reader 7 is launched. They are still supported when Acrobat/Reader 6 is launched
To ensure that your Shockwave movies auto-install the right version of this Xtra, copy the following text and paste it into your " Xtrainfo.txt" file ( for Director MX 2004, this file is within the Configuration folder; for previous versions it is located in the same folder as Director).
NOTE: Everything in square brackets must be on a single line without line breaks.
