for example, just because you have an arrow pointing at something within the document doesn't meant that the readers know it's clickable, but an animated arrow that react to the mouse over it screams look at me and click me to go to that page! Fix that. Who print anything anymore? Unlike the International Standard Organization people, they are probably still faxing - everyone else have a smart phones that they can just open and read whatever it is on their phone screens, NOT PRINTED PAPERS.ĭeep down animated icons (not movies) is critical for "interactive" PDF. Very few people send PDFs over emails and such are meant to be printed.

But now a day people use PDF to send documents meant to display on digital screens - yet retaining its original apparence as the creators intended regardless if the computers/devices on the readers' ends doesnt have a the same screen ratio/resolution, OS or specific set of fonts. I understand that PDF was originally designed for printing purposes. Let's say You want 10 animated arrows, you will need 10 little movies that the readers need to click "play" for each icons?! No!!! When a simple html file can offer a better educational experience than a pdf file, you should bloody know that you’ve done something wrong!Ĭonverting GIFs to movies doesn't help solve the problem either. Why then? well… rumour has it that it’s mainly because Steve Jobs said that “Flash sux”, and you know who the best paying customers of adobe are, right? Yeap, apple users.Īnimated gifs are perfect for educational documents where a small animation can make life so much easier for a student to understand a concept or idea (not to mention how much more interesting it is to read some documents which include animations). HTML 5 will take at least another decade to reach the level of flash. Why? is it because there is a technology which can replace flash? well… er… no, not really. The irony of all this is that Adobe no longer wants to support flash. – Devices which would normally run animations can’t do so because… the file is too large!! lol. – Many devices will not be able to run the animations. – A 10 page document with 5 small animations could be as large as 100 MB or more (instead of less than 1 MB using animated gifs). The results of this “brilliant” piece of thought are:

Instead, their “brilliant” work-around is to let people add movie players to their pdf documents (Flash files for example).
Navigate to Slide Show from the top bar navigation. If you have an animated GIF on your computer, choose the file from its location and click Open. Click on Insert in the top navigation and double click on Pictures. I don’t know, but a very credible hypothesis is that they think of animated gifs as “1980s technology”. Start by opening PowerPoint and navigating to the slide where you want to add the animated GIF. Ever wondered why adobe never allowed animated gifs in their pdf documents?
