Re: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf output crashes all Flash players

[Jeff Seibert]

I suppose hang is more accurate. The browser did not crash, per se,  
but I let it run for 5 minutes with no improvement in responsiveness  
(or display of anything). From the user's perspective, this is a  
crash. I get the same results using FlashPlayer, Flash CS3, etc.

If the file is not corrupt in any way, is there a way to detect overly- 
complex SWF files and simplify them? Or specify a cap on the number of  
shape objects pdf2swf creates?

Thanks,

Jeff
