Extract a SWF file from a PDF file

I have Acrobat 9 Pro and Pro 10 Windows and Acrobat 9 Pro on Mac OS. Is it possible to extract a SWF in a PDF file so that I can use the SWF file for other purposes? There is no security on the PDF file.

Not with the Acrobat user interface. In theory, you could write a plugin to do this, or use a third party application to extract the COS dictionary directly from the PDF file at the byte level, but Acrobat isn't about to offer any help.

  • Integrated .swf files can be retrieved from a PDF file?

    I have several .swf files that I use in a digital portfolio PDF I send to potential customers. The original .swf and .fla files have been lost. Is it possible to extract or retrieve a built-in .swf to a PDF file so I can use a decompiler to recreate the .fla? Thank you.

    If you have placed the SWF files using the Annotations of Rich Media (content - multimedia - etc.) then you can ignore my notes on the portfolios and maps - refers to the system navigator in a Portfolio PDF. In your case, you will need to use one of the tools I've mentioned, or try to hand.

    I don't know of a Mac equivalent to surgeon or Can Opener. With effort, you can do the same thing manually:

    • Create a blank PDF and copy - paste into your SWF file using the select an object in Acrobat, if you do nothing else in the file to worry.
    • Use the preflight in Acrobat Pro to remove the compression of document structure and register again.
    • Open the PDF file in a text editor such as Notepad ++ that can manipulate binary data and extract the flow of the object relative to the SWF file (look for the binary data segment starting with "SCF" and ending before the word 'endstream' - delete all the rest above and below these lines. Makes no changes to the binary data and do not leave blank lines above the "CFS" or below the last binary character.
    • Save the data to a new file, give it a. SWF extension and you're done.
  • Layout in Arabic, Chinese and Russian. Export text from a PDF file

    I am exhibitor of long documents in Arabic, Chinese and Russian. The text was provided in PDF format when I copy and paste this in Indesign, it happens like question marks, boxes and other characters having nothing to do with the text I'm trying to layout.  I put the cast on the Arabic Myriad and Arabic dictionary still nothing that resembles Arabic or any other language. Same thing with the Chinese and Russian. Any suggestions on how to get the text from the PDF file where is the language. Appreciate help with this.  Thank you.

    Thanks for the caption, Ellis

    Thus, KK: you're in for a world of pain. The intials "WP" at the beginning of these policies means that the text is out of WordPerfect. Make presentations multilingual in WP, it was annoying, but possible. It was developed in the pre-Unicode world where every single method of complex script layout was a dirty hack. If you like dirty nerdy details, I can tell you how it worked, but that it is sufficient to say that attempt to harvest the non-latine-script text of: WP and it reuse for use in InDesign is just pure pain. WordPerfect-specific code pages were never really supported anywhere outside WP.

    That being said, I have a script around laying somewhere for the conversion of the WP-Cyrillic in Unicode. (In fact, I think it does Windows CP 1251, but that works as well.) But this is only one of the forty-five languages? And the Chinese has been pixelated? And PDF files were originally generated by Distiller 3? If you have no choice, it is time to leave. If you do not have the choice, I really hope that you charge hourly. My experience in this area (very large) is that it will cost three to five times more to extract the text as it would for a professional translation generate a new key of the text, and and then to have a second professional translation review text rekeyed looking for typos.

    Russian OCR is darn good these days, but Chinese OCR is random. I've never seen good Arabic OCR - doesn't mean it's not out there, but I couldn't help you find it.  But the chances that all 45 languages available reliable OCR, and the result of said OCRing will not have to be reviewed by someone who knows the language, are virtually nil.

    Thank you.

    This isn't the right answer. You misread the question. I wasn't looking for a conversion of a JPG file in PDF format.

    It was not for me, it's for a colleague.

    I found it on my own though.

  • Export interactive PDF in indesign, with the animation of the edge to the SWF file?

    Hello

    I have an interactive pdf in indesign with animation, works very well when they are exported to the swf file.

    I need to use more complex animations that Indesign has, so I created some new features of Adobe Edge animate, exported save them as a file .oam and then put them in the Indesign file.

    If I use the Preview on the animation tab I see indesign animations and the edge, but if I export it to a SWF file is - this only animation to indesign working, and if I export to epub file is only the edge animation work.

    Somehow it is possible to export so that the two works of animation types. and it is possible to do it in a SWF file.

    Hi Tim,.

    This is not a supported feature. If the PDF is secured and you have the legal rights to extract the audio, it would be possible to locate and unzip the PDF file raw file data using third-party tools as follows the structure of the file of low-level (a hex editor or editor Cos) - but Acrobat can not help you.

  • How can I copy text from a pdf file in firefox?

    I no longer seem to highlight and copy the text from a pdf file, while in firefox 33.0, using adobe to view PDF files.

    How do I activate the selection tool, so I can do this?

    If there is text to be copied (in other words, if the pdf file is not a scanned image of the text), by default, you should see a pointer that will change when you hover over the text to an ibeam.

    If you see a hand tool, click on the double arrow towards the top right of the display screen to get a drop-down list and select "disable the hand tool.

  • How can I control a button from a swf file to another swf file?

    Hello

    I have a file main.swf . From this file I can access the file external.swf which is an external file.

    Now, how can I write code on my file main.swf to the button that is on my external.swf file?

    Activities.MainPanel.close_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);

    Activities.MainPanel.close_btn (This button is actually the external.swf file, but I want to write code on main.swf file to run it on external.swf) How can I control a single swf in another swf file button?

    Thank you.

    Some examples of code that you should be able to adapt to your needs.

    create a new instance of the loader object.

    var loader: Loader = new Loader();

    make the download request...

    var request: URLRequest = new URLRequest ("external.swf");

    Add a full event for the loader listener

    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

    start the actual loading process...

    Loader.Load (request);

    Create a new empty movieClip instance, you place the movie loaded into this movieClip after loading

    var externalMovie:MovieClip;

    This function is called when the download is complete and the file is ready for use.

    function completeHandler(event:Event):void {}

    set the contents of the film to the new empty movieClip...

    externalMovie = MovieClip (event.target.content);

    Add this new film to the display list.

    addChild (externalMovie);

    }

    Now you can reference the film loaded with the name of the instance 'externalMovie '. So if, for example, you want to address a button in the film loaded, you can write something like that on the main timeline:

    externalMovie.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);

    function btnClickClose(event:MouseEvent):void {}

    }

  • referencing the main timeline from a loaded swf file

    I just poked around google as both of these forums, but the only answer I see that was a success, is kglad, and for some reason that its messages are not, I just see ":" and then the guy say thank you! Not uber useful.

    In any case, I'm just trying to understand how to reference an image tag on my main timeline to a swf loaded (through my imageLoader). Does anyone have a link or can tell me what I should look for in? dispatchers of the event?

    to reference the main timeline of the SWF loading from the main timeline of the swf file that is loaded, use:
