Thanks JL and Ben for your help. I am new to Swftools, but looks a good group of folks here. I am having my conversion issues with "pdf2swf - part of swftools 0.8.1" on Mac 10.6.2. I then tried installing "pdf2swf - part of swftools 0.9.0" using MacPorts, and now I am getting a pesky segmentation fault. I understand from other threads it is due to a libjpeg, but I haven't been able to update that yet. I will keep working on it. These files are being uploaded to a video conference provider for presentation, and the vid conf provider said they will get back to me as to what version of Swftools they are using. Since I don't have much control over what conversion process they use, I'll probably start converting locally on my box and uploading as SWF so that I have control over the conversion. In summary, I am converting to PDF using PDF-CUPS print driver Version 2.4.6.1, Generic postscript color printer driver rev3a. When i do the conversion with swftools 0.8.1, it is dropping the background color on any tables cells that span multiple cells and randomly whiting out other table rows. I also see random box and line artifacts on other tables. If any one can confirm this sample PDF below convert properly on 0.9.0, then I will upgrade. Some of the options, such as --flatten, appear to be introduced in ver 0.9.0. If it's a PDF problem, then I need to figure out how to make my CUPS-PDF export Acrobat 4.0 compliant, or whatever the safest spec is. Here is my sample file: Here is a jpg of the output from PDF2SWF on vid conf provider (not sure what version): Many thanks, Matt On Mar 12, 2010, at 7:05 PM, JL wrote: We tend to use PDF 1.3 (Acrobat 4.0) if we run into problematic PDFs. -- Matt Pearce InterLingo Spanish Manizales, Philadelphia US: 215-268-7212 / CO: 036-8900957, 3126974586 |
