[Swftools-common] pdf2swf - Internal error: drawChar.render!=beginString.render

[Jimmi Christensen]

Hi all,

I'm trying to convert a pdf document to a swf using pdf2swf. When i convert i repeatedly get the following error message :

Internal error: drawChar.render!=beginString.render

Hvad does this mean? The conversion continues and a swf is generated. The text in the generated swf does however look bad (very pixelated). I guess it is related to the error message. At the end of this post i have inserted the pdf2swt output.

I have uploaded the pdf file to my server so you can give it a try yourselves. Download it from: http://www.jimmichr.dk/swftools/00003102.pdf . Please note that the document i quite large (about 43 megs).

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks
Jimmi
