Re: [Swftools-common] Re: Problem when converting PDF - SWF

[Novice Programmer]

1. Does this happen with every PDF?

2. and i hope that you are not calling this code from some webservice. if it so, you may want to check the permissions that webservice Worker process has(it must have execute and write permissions). but again if this is the case then every pdf would fail so my Question 2 holds only if the answer to Question 1 is yes.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

Following is the code i'm using,

            String fileName = "C:\\sample\\file.pdf"; \\ this file size is 450 KB
            String fileName = "C:\\sample\\output.swf";
            String[] command = new String[]{"C:\\swftools\\pdf2swf.exe", "-t", fileName, tempfile };

            System.out.println("Before execution");
            Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

            p.waitFor();
            System.out.println("After execution");

            in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));

            String line = in.readLine();
          
            while (line != null)
            {
                line = in.readLine();
                System.out.println(line);
          
            }
          
            System.out.println("Exit value :"+p.waitFor());
            p.destroy();

Only the following line is getting printed:

[12:10:43:999]|[05-06-2008]|[SYSOUT]|[INFO]|[13]|: Before execution|

Thanks,
Eusabia

Sounds as if Java imposes some memory restrictions on subprocesses.
Also, it might be that for large PDFs pdf2swf is generating too
many log messages, and thus will block when the output buffer
is full.

You're using Runtime.getRunTime().exec(), right?

Are there perhaps any clues as to what's happening in
getInputStream() or getErrorStream() ?
