Hi all
I want to split a pdf document into a series of swf files - one per page. The goal is that one master-swf contain the fonts will load the other swfs (which contain one page) on demand. My first approach was to call pdf2swf in a loop. The result was disapppointing, very slow and big filesize. I assume this is because I do a lot of things reduntantly (parsing the whole pdf ?? font extraction ??) for each page.
How can I improve this ? I am not yet familar with the internals of pdf2swf, but I am willling to dive into it and I am looking for recommendation where should I start to look at first, or maybe somebody is already working on something like that ?
