This package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF animations from sets of graphics files or from inline graphics, such as latex-picture, PSTricks or pgf/TikZ generated pictures, or just from typeset text. It supports the usual PDF making workflows, i. e. pdfLaTeX and LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf (Ghostscript) / Distiller. The resulting PDF can be viewed in current Adobe Readers on all supported platforms.
