Yep, but it should go in first place into "pdf2swf -h".
I don't know why it's not in pdf2swf help page. One reason could be
that Matthias don't have the feature in the state he wants, so don't
"officially support" - I don't know... just guessing.

By the way I just found the filters when trying to solve Guillaume Simard
specific problem.

I just found also that there is a textonly parameter that is already
in the development snapshots but not in 0.9.1 that can be used like this:
pdf2swf -s textonly doc.pdf
It will render only the text.
