I have a pdf with animations. However, when I try to read it in evince or okular, in the first case, nothing happens with the animation. In the case of okular, I get a blank gray square where the animation is. How do I read this usign OSS? (I did not want to go get acroread: are there any other options?)

Many thanks for any advice!


I don't know if the circumstances match exactly.  But doing a bit of googling found a
suggestion that installing phonon-qt5-vlc (available in rpmfusion) may get things
working.  They did for at least one person but they didn't specify what type of
animation was in the PDF.

Sorry, but is this available in F28? I get No match.

It's there:

	# dnf list "*phonon*"
	...
	Available Packages
	phonon-backend-vlc.x86_64
0.9.1-4.fc28                               rpmfusion-free

So it's in the rpmfusion-free repo.

I had suggested asking google. I tried 'phonon-qt5-vlc rpm fc28' and the first 5 hits were for phonon-qt5-backend-vlc-0.9.1-4.fc28.x86_64.rpm from rpmfusion.

Quick and easy. This is specifically for qt5. The question now is 'does it do the job?'

Also, don't know if this is good enough, but you may want to consider pdfdetach to
extract the embedded files from the pdf.


Thanks! I will try that, but I was hoping for a solution inside the pdf reader.
