+ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" ./configure

+4.) Is there a pdf2swf for Windows?

-5.) Can png2swf handle transparency?
+6.) The fonts in the SWFs generated by pdf2swf are wrong!
+
+ Try running pdf2swf with the "-v" switch.
+ If you see a line reading "substituting VerySpecialFont -> Times-Roman", then pdf2swf
+ didn't find some fonts, which may be external references in the pdf.
+ To fix this, copy the fonts into your current directory and pass the "-F ./" (--fontpath ./)
+ option to pdf2swf. (This doesn't yet work with TTF, only with Type1 Fonts. You can
+ convert TTF to Type1, however, using ttf2pt1 (http://ttf2pt1.sourceforge.net)).
+ The font files should, in this case, have the filenames VerySpecialFont.afm and
+ VerySpecialFont.pfa (.pfb).

+ It supports PNG mode 2 transparency (256 color palettes with alpha) since version 0.4.2.
Mode 6 (32 bit RGBA truecolor) is also supported since version 0.4.3, however
it seems most Flash players don't handle the alpha channel in the resulting
32 bit images correctly.
