-3.) Is there a pdf2swf for Windows?
+3.) configure doesn't find my jpeglib / my t1lib!
+
+ In case some of your libraries/include files are installed in /usr/local,
+ try the following:
+
+ rm -f config.cache
+ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" ./configure
+
+ Furthermore, a new installation of jpeglib (the following assumes it's in
+ /usr/local/lib) often requires doing a
+
+ ranlib /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.a
+ ldconfig /usr/local/lib
+
+ If it still doesn't work, try removing the file "config.cache"
+ before running configure again.
+
+4.) Is there a pdf2swf for Windows?
No. pdf2swf only runs on Unix platforms, like Linux, *BSD, MacOS X, etc.
- There have been some successes reported on compling pdf2swf on Win32 using
- Cygwin (http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin), however, there's no working version
- yet.
+ There have been some reports on more or less successfully compling pdf2swf on Win32 using
+ Cygwin (http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin), however, there's no working version yet.
+
If you want to use pdf2swf, find a Unix machine.
-4.) Is there *going to* be a pdf2swf for Windows?
+5.) Is there *going to* be a pdf2swf for Windows?
Probably. As soon as we find the time to look into the Cygwin compile issues.
-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).
- Yes.
+7.) Can png2swf handle transparency?
-6.) How to get Flash MX compression with SWFTools?
+ 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 0.4.4.
+
+8.) How to do Flash MX compression with SWFTools?
Most tools support the -z flag for outputting compressed SWF.
Furthermore you can compress/uncompress SWF files using swfcombine:
- swfcombine -dz file.swf -o file_new.swf
+ swfcombine -dz file.swf -o file_new.swf
compresses, while
- swfcombine -d file.swf -o file_new.swf
+ swfcombine -d file.swf -o file_new.swf
decompresses.
-7.) Is there a mailing list for SWFTools?
+9.) avi2swf converts my avi files upside down!
+
+ Try using the -p (--flip) switch.
- There used to be, however it was shut down due to lack of traffic. The archive
- is available as raw INBOX file on http://www.quiss.org/swftools/list.tar.gz.
+10.) How to extract images/sounds from myfile.swf using swfextract?
-8.) avi2swf converts my avi files upside down!
+ First list all extractable items:
- Try using the -p (--flip) switch.
+ swfextract myfile.swf
+
+ The result is something like:
+
+ Objects in file myfile.swf:
+ Shapes: 1, 2, 3
+ MovieClips: 4, 5, 8, 10, 12
+ JPEGs: 69, 116, 447
+ PNGs: 318
+ Sounds: 28, 29, 30
+ Frames: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
+
+ Not you can extract a shape using
+
+ swfextract -i 2 myfile.swf -o shape.swf
+
+ a sound using
+
+ swfextract -s 28 myfile.swf -o sound.wav
+
+ a PNG image file using
+
+ swfextract -p 318 myfile.swf -o file.png
+
+ etc.
