Why not.  Maybe link to the 'offending' pdf as well?

Sadly I can't as it's a bank statement.

Here's the two files:

http://www.sergeant.org/linux.pdf2swf.out (WARNING: 13MB)

http://www.sergeant.org/mac.pdf2swf.out (only 513KB)

Command line used:

  pdf2swf -v -v -v -z -T 9 -t -s storeallcharacters Td.pdf
