几十年前，我可以编译以下代码片段来pdflatex -shell-escape main.tex生成带有动画的 PDF 输出。
% the filename is main.tex
\documentclass[preview,border=12pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{diagram.tex}
\documentclass[pstricks,border=12pt]{standalone}
\begin{document}
\foreach \x in {1,...,10}{
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](5,5)
\pscircle(2.5,2.5){!\x\space 10 div}
\end{pspicture}}
\end{document}
\end{filecontents*}
\usepackage{pgffor}
\foreach \compiler/\ext in {latex/tex,dvips/dvi,{ps2pdf -dAutoRotatePages=/None}/ps}{\immediate\write18{\compiler\space diagram.\ext}}
\usepackage{animate}
\begin{document}
\animategraphics[autoplay,controls,loop,scale=1]{3}{diagram}{}{}
\end{document}
不幸的是，现在它只是一个 PDF 输出，动画不起作用。是什么导致了这个问题？

我似乎并不依赖于我是否使用 PSTricks 或 TikZ。
% filenanem is main.tex
% compile it with pdflatex -shell-escape main.tex
\documentclass[preview,border=12pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{diagram.tex}
\documentclass[tikz,border=12pt]{standalone}
\begin{document}
\foreach \x in {1,...,10}{%
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[white] (0,0) rectangle (5,5);
\draw (2.5,2.5) circle (\x/10);
\end{tikzpicture}}
\end{document}
\end{filecontents*}
\immediate\write18{pdflatex diagram.tex}
\usepackage{animate}
\begin{document}
\animategraphics[autoplay,controls,loop,scale=1]{3}{diagram}{}{}
\end{document}

当使用article文档类代替standalone但它不能很好地工作。

从类选项中删除preview。这是不必要的，而且会导致编译时出现问题。如果不删除，生成的带有动画的 PDF 是可以的。
顺便说一句，旧版本默认standalone设置preview选项。最新版本crop改为设置选项。
