[Swftools-common] Even-odd pages with SwfTools / rfxview

[Beran Istvan]

I wanted at my favourite booklet issue format to display the cover and the back 
cover alone, inside of the booklet to display even-odd pages in sheets, and the 
written page numbers follow the original pages instead of sheets' numbers. For 
these jobs I was created a patch (rfxview_2p.swf), Check changes in source code 
(rfxview_2p.sc) signed by 'BI':

http://mambo465utils.googlecode.com/files/rfxviewer_2p.zip


Usage:

At first create a one-sided pdf file (blank.pdf) and than put it into your pdf 
document (file.pdf)

- before the cover,

- and also after the back cover, so file.pdf has 2 pages more from now.


Tip: there are a lot of different ways to insert page, eg. Acrobat Pro (mac or 
pc), PDFEdit, scribus (linux) or http://www.pdfescape.com/ online or by 
serverside applications (php, perl, python, etc.). 


Tip: give blank page the same color as rfxview (default: #CCCCCC).


At the end convert your pdf to two-pages-swf from command line:

# pdf2swf -B rfxview_2p.swf -o file.swf -2 file.pdf


Try it and please review.

Thanks,

Istvan
