Since the file format specifications for both PDF and SWF are available
to view by all who care to do so - how do you think SWFTools and
others came into being in the first place? - describing their nature
as 'opaque' is rather OTT. They do a job, and they do it well. As
a result of this adoption, there are also now alternatives, e.g
