I'm experiencing the same problem, i.e. when loading the pdf2swf generated pdfs, MovieClip.loadMovie() gets a dimension that includes a lot of white spaces at borders. It happens to more than 20% of my pdfs. Which box dimensions are read, when loadMovie() is called? I tried swfbbox, but it does not fix the problem. I posted the same question last month. Does anyone have any workarounds? Matthias, do you have any ideas or suggestions?

Subject: RE: [Swftools-common] SWF files scaled incorrectly
This works ok when using an embedded player or opening the swf by
itself, I can open all of the swfs directly with the flash player
without incidient. When I do a MovieClip.loadMovie it does not observe
the correct size of the artbox. When I try to import the swf to the
library, it imports things wrong. Any ideas? Can I modify the code to
observe different constraints or set a fixed size? I need a consistant
size for the application I'm developing.
Thanks,
John

It does.
PDF, however, does define *five* borders (ArtBox, MediaBox,
CropBox, TrimBox, Bleedbox), which all have some use, under
the right circumstances.
So pdf2swf needs to make a choice, concerning which box to
use. Right now, it's using the intersection between CropBox and
MediaBox, which works o.k. for 99% of the PDFs.
