hi,

this is the output of pdf2swf when I'm converting a certain page of a magazine:

[1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000] t3font-3620-0 alpha=1
NOTICE  processing PDF page 1 (648x783:0:0)
NOTICE  File contains jpeg pictures
NOTICE  File contains Type3 fonts
NOTICE  Writing SWF file output.swf

also pdf2swf -I displays this line
[1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000] t3font-3620-0 alpha=1

the converted page in swf has some broken chars then .. basically it's all the "A" chars (see screenshot).

I'm using the latest version from (git).

any help appreciated,
thank you!

Hello Filip,

I have some PDFs that result in the same exact issue with the letter "A"

The only thing that has worked for me so far is using PDF2SWF version 090 (rather than 091).  This is on a windows box, so not sure how Linux would fair.

In my PDF, the letter A in question was part of an Adobe Japan font. It may be related to a lot of the XPDF font hinting issues going around lately.

Best of luck.
