Wow, that seems like a rather questionable feature for a "portable document format".

- enriquto 6y agoIf you use pdf for making slides for a presentation, it is a legitimate use case to want some automatic animations or videos. It is actually possible, and adobe's viewer certainly supports it, but no program on linux does. You could argue that we shouln't be using pdf for making slides in the first place, and maybe you are true. But if I want beautiful math typography (which is even more important than animations), all other options are sadly not up to par.
- BatmanAoD 6y agoI understand; I used Beamer back in college. It just seems like that's not really a good fit for the original purpose of PDF files. If they wanted to support presentations, maybe they should have created a new file type based on PDF but with extra capabilities.
