Following features are NOT supported

  • Declarative animation for SVG
  • Interactive and dynamic SVG documents

These elements are not supported because the main purpose of our software is to make hard copy as a final result. So, animation, interactive scripts and other stuff has no sense in InDesign and Photoshop. On the other hand, we offer scripts support for SVG documents extra processing, for example for text formatting.

Note: Javascript code in SVG documents is supported, as it helps to render the image. For example, approach of text wrapping via Javascript works well.
