Re: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf problem

Hi Ricardo

Thanks a lot for feed back. I didn't install Visual Studio on this machine The problem is if you use pdf2swf under windows you always get this window There should be a way to disable popup windows for case of using pdf2swf.exe under windows web application.

For the first problem is it going to be solved or not?

Best Regards
Farhad

Hello

I just found 2 problem and I appreciate if  comeone can have a look to it.

I just used the latest version of swftools from the date swftools-2009-08-24-2042.rar  but in some complex pdf it does not create swf and it produce error.

First problem
=========
I used the following command :

pdf2swf.exe -j90 -q -T8 -G -qq -X 455 -Y 563 -f -F D:\SWFTools\fonts -s zoom=55 -s multiply=4 -s linksopennewwindow -s poly2bitmap -s linknameurl -s enablezlib -s bboxvars -s flashvers ion=8 -s jpegquality=80 -s splinequality=100 fbfa285bb91a.pdf -o 3c96dc83bc25.swf

pdf is http://www.farsinetwork.com/farhad/fbfa285bb91a.pdf
 

If  I remove poly2bitmap I got the following error
see error     http://www.farsinetwork.com/farhad/error.JPG

with poly2bitmap no swf will be created.

I tried your pdf in xpdf viewer and it crashes.
So It seems that the problem is in xpdf library that swftools is using to parse pdf's


 

problem 2:
After error the pdf2swf tool is waiting for OK button see in error above which if you run pdf2swf using a java web application you never see OK and pdf2swf will hanging for ever and waiting for someone to press OK even if using -q it still asking for OK button. I think the error messages should be displayed just as a text format not windows.

This is a Windows popup.

I'm not very familiar with windows, but ...
...do you have visual studio installed in that machine?

I think I already saw that dialog in machines with visual studio.
