Can someone on /g/ tell me how this interactive PDF of a 4chan thread was made?

painstakingly.

PDF is just a format after all. it can be re-implemented. in this case, the contents of the thread were compiled into a PDF document rather than a HTML/CSS/JS/etc document that your browser can render.

the main difference in the process would be that PDF clients have no HTTP POST capability and that the spec is much harder to work with.

I ain't click that shit nigga

PDFs can run javascript, and therefore can even dynamically fetch stuff from the internet. Beyond that, it's simply a question of understanding how to correctly modify a PDF using the javascript API. That's easier said than done, though, because the API is huge (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_reference.pdf)

But you wouldn't install acrobat, would you anon? It's the slowest and least stable PDF reader available.

The last time I installed acrobat, it was specifically to research pdf-bourne malware.

>>58959922
first of all:dubs noticed
2d acrobat is not slow here even with big size and heavy imagery
>>
>>58959942
*Maybe* you can claim that it isn't slow, but it's certainly got a higher footprint than something like evince.

And, even if the performance were identical it's
