Hey all,
I have gotten a request, namely to build an (web) application which allows one to select certain pages of an interactive pdf (made in inDesign), and create a new file with those pages only.
Philips does this well with a normal 'print' PDF -> http://www.annualreport2009.philips.com/downloads/index.asp
I was wondering whether anyone has an idea how to select pages from a regular PDF and create a new document from that selection. And whether this functionality could be extended to interactive PDFs (made in inDesign).
IDEAS SO FAR
- Have a base document, delete non-selected pages.
- Have all the pages as individual PDFs, combine them to one document.
TECHNIQUES
- JavaScript (since "One of the easiest and most powerful ways to customize PDF files is by using JavaScript" -Adobe.com)
IMPLEMENTATION
Since I'm a Drupal developer, I'd like to implement this feature in a Drupal 7 website.
Hope to hear some ideas.
Let the discussion commence :)
EDIT
I just found this website, which transforms their data in Flash or HTML5 to an interactive PDF via JavaScript, using their own AnyChartStock.js.
