On Fri, 16 May 2008 Alexander Grahn submitted an update to the

animate

package.

The package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF animations from sets of graphics files or from inline graphics, such as LaTeX picture environment, PSTricks or pgf/TikZ generated pictures, or just from typeset text.

Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/animate License type: lppl

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

This updated version of `animate' uses a different method for animating graphics. The use of PDF Layers (OCGs) was dropped in favour of a Widget based method which produces animations that perform better in newer Acrobat Reader versions. The OCG based method is still available and can be selected by the package or command option `useocg'.
