Re: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf crashes on certain pages

[Chris Pugh]

..using -v, -vv, or -vvv, should tell you the page at which the pdf2swf
program bails out and/or freezes.  The you'll know the page to start
with, or just before.

It can often happen that he offending page *will* convert, when taken
in it's own. Like I said though, no guarantees!
