RE: [Swftools-common] Page wise conversion

[Tony Stallan]

Hi Jake,

 

What does --flatten do and why couldn't you live without it.

 

It doesn't seem to make much difference to my conversions but then I don't know what I should be looking for ;-)

I use --flatten every day.. it has saved me countless headaches with 
pdf conversion... I know it's experimental.. but I honestly couldn't live 
without it. Thanks for including it Matthias!

Is "-s flatten" supposed to be "--flatten"?

Be careful with that option- it's still experimental and highly
unstable.

Well, what's the error message due to which it's stopping? Since the
process is running in an exec(), problems with pdf2swf itself shouldn't
influence whether or not the loop breaks.
