-6.) Is there a pdf2swf for Windows?
+6.) How do I compile swftools on Mac OS X?
+
+    You need to get fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net), and install it.
+    After this, you need to install all the required libs (jpeg, freetype, lame):
+   
+    fink install libjpeg libjpeg-shlibs freetype2 freetype2-shlibs lame lame-shlibs
+
+    Then, you have to inform configure of where they are:
+
+    LDFLAGS="-L/sw/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/sw/include -I/sw/include/lame" ./configure
+    make
+    sudo make install
+
+    If this doesn't work, especially if you want to use the python library and
+    get weird exceptions, try to remove all versions of jpeglib, freetype and 
+    lame from /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib, and then run configure/make/make install
+    again.

+
+8.) Where's the source code of the Windows version?
+
+    It's the same as the Unix source code. If you want to compile
+    under Windows, it's recommended that you get the CVS version
+    of the sources.
+    You need MingW (http://www.mingw.org) to compile it.
+    When cross-compiling under Linux, e.g. the following generates the Windows .exe files:
+
+    CXX=i386-mingw32msvc-g++ CPP=i386-mingw32msvc-cpp CC=i386-mingw32msvc-gcc \
