[Swftools-common] [pdf2swf]: is support for layers (OCG) in pdf-files planned?

[Martin Heller]

Hi,

Is support for Optional Contents Groups og layeres in pdf-files planned 
for pdf2swf?

I often create presentations with LaTeX that contain animations made 
with the LaTeX package animate.sty. When these pdf-files are converted 
to swf with pdf2swf all frames of the animations are shown at the same 
time.

Here is a minimal example of a LaTeX document that generates an 
animation that illustrates the problem:

Save as test.tex and compile with pdflatex test.tex (I have attached the 
output, but I don't know if attachments are allowed on the mailing list).

%% test.tex
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tikz,animate}

\pdfoutput=1
\pgfrealjobname{temp}

\newcounter{ang}
\setcounter{ang}{0}

\begin{document}

\beginpgfgraphicnamed{test}%
\begin{animateinline}[loop,autoplay]{36}
 \whiledo{\theang<360}{%
   \begin{tikzpicture}
     \draw (0,0) circle (2cm);
     \draw (0,0) -- (\theang:2);
   \end{tikzpicture}%
   \addtocounter{ang}{36}\newframe
 }%
\end{animateinline}
\endpgfgraphicnamed

\end{document}
%% EOF test.tex


Best regards,
Martin Heller
