Adobe pdf as a demoplatform?

category: general [glöplog]
The most scary thing is that osx has good and fast pdf support built right in, and people still install adobe reader o_0 Perhaps people like it slow and cumbersome?

I bet the reason is that the OSX built-in reader doesn't support the super-awesome 3D-stuff!

That "interactive" pdf is just a regular PDF with embedded U3D models and some Javascript code. Nothing to jerk off to...

I heard somewhere that acrobat reader is in fact amazingly effective! In just thirty-something megabytes, they compressed ALL the pdfs in the WORLD! That's why it's somewhat slow, you see, it needs to search for the document you want to see. And those weekly updates, that's when it downloads the new pdfs from the interweb!

U3D? I don't trust specs with level 8 chapter numbers!

I wonder who will make the first scene release :)
There's already a demo in PDF format, PostShrink by Kakiarts.

PostShrink is PostScript, not PDF.

(reminded me that now that a 4k executable graphics category exists in pouet, I could finally add the prod)

I personally like Adobe PDF Reader. Or, more like Acrobat. Foxit PDF Reader will never quite compare... It might be faster and stuff, and Acrobat might be robust, but when it comes to print production, it's the best thing ever.
