I also uses SWFTools -- specifically, "pdf2swf" -- to generate Shockwave
renditions of PDF documents for document previews. If you're using HomeBrew
to manage packages, and you run the following command, you might run into
some problems:
?
1
$ brew install -v swftools
Namely, the "pdf2swf" command (among others) will not be installed due to
some missing dependencies. This is most noticable when installing SWFTools
on a clean system. To fix this, install the following packages prior to
attempting the above command:
?
1
$ brew install freetext libjpeg giflib swftools
This should result in a clean build of SWFTools with the pdf2swf command
available in your path and for use with Alfresco.
As for swf transcode, i find some tips on http://www.swftomovmac.com/
