Re: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf: This file is too complex to render - SWF only supports 65536 shapes at once error

[Tobias Fink]

Hi LI Xin,

i know this isn't the correctest solution, but as a workaround i've implemented 
my program it that way that it uses sfwtools to convert each single page 
without the "polytobitmap" option, and in case of (any) error try to convert it 
using the option.
This works out fine (best available conversion results for each page), even 
thou it will consume double conversion cpu and memory in the worst case. 

Best Regards,

Tobias

PS: The conversion runs like this:

- run "pdf2swf -I <<FILE>>"
- parse the results to get the number of pages
- for each pagenumber: 
-- run "pdf2swf <<FILE>> -p <<PAGENUMBER>> -G -j 90 -z -t -T 10 -s 
internallinkfunction=true -s externallinkfunction=true -o <<OUTPUTFILE>>"
-- in case of error (return-value of above execution != 0): run "pdf2swf 
<<FILE>> -p <<PAGENUMBER>> -G -j 90 -z -t -T 10  -s poly2bitmap -s 
internallinkfunction=true -s externallinkfunction=true -o <<OUTPUTFILE>>"

Betreff: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf: This file is too complex to render - SWF 
only supports 65536 shapes at once error

Hello,

I am very new to Swftools,
and I have a question about pdf2swf.

I see the following errors when converting a PDF file to SWF.

    /pdf2swf -T 9 -f -t -G -s storeallcharacters input.pdf -o output.swf//
    //
    //ERROR ID Table overflow//
    //ERROR This file is too complex to render - SWF only supports 65536
    shapes at once.

    /

I googled this error, found that it could be fixed by adding "-s 
poly2bitmap".

Here are my questions:

1. Can I know if a PDF is too complex or not before actually converting it?

2. Is it possible to apply "-s poly2bitmap" option only when it is 
necessary?
  Because I heard people saying "-s poly2bitmap" would slow the 
converting process.

My Swftools version: 0.9.2

Thanks for your help in advance.

LI Xin
