Re: [Swftools-common] When I converted a PDF to SWF, it has wide side margins.

[Sam Kong]

Hi Chris, 

Thank you for your reply.
I upgraded pdf2swf to 9.0 and the result was the same.
I started to suspect something else.
It turned out that my swf viewer showed its own dimension regardless of the actual dimension.

Thank you so much for your help.

Out of interest, I took your,

 what_i_expected.jpg

created a pdf,

  what_i_expected.pdf

then used pdfswf ( from 0.9.0 ) to get,

  what_i_expected.swf.

No wide margins.

What did you create your original PDF with/from?

May be 0.8.0 has an issue?

Why not try this again with the latest stable version?

Regards,


Chris.
