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