-3.) Is there a pdf2swf for Windows?
+3.) What libraries do I need to compile swftools?
- No. pdf2swf only runs on Unix platforms, like Linux, *BSD, MacOS X, etc.
- 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.
+ You need t1lib and jpeglib to compile pdf2swf.
+ Links:
+ t1lib:
+ ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux/libs/graphics/t1lib-1.3.1.tar.gz
+ t1lib (mirrored here):
+ http://www.quiss.org/swftools/t1llib-1.3.1.tar.gz
+ jpeglib:
+ http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
-4.) Is there *going to* be a pdf2swf for Windows?
+ Furthermore, if you want to compile avi2swf, you need the avifile library:
+ http://avifile.sourceforge.net
+ .
- Probably. As soon as we find the time to look into the Cygwin compile issues.
+4.) configure doesn't find my jpeglib / my t1lib!
-5.) Can png2swf handle transparency?
+ In case some of your libraries/include files are installed in /usr/local,
+ try the following:
- It supports PNG mode 2 transparency (alpha palettes) 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.
+ rm -f config.cache
+ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" ./configure
-6.) How to get Flash MX compression with SWFTools?
+ 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.
+
+5.) There are problems during compilation:
+ Error messages complain about "undefined reference to `operator new(unsigned)'"
+ as well as "undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'".
+
+ Try running configure as
+
+ LDFLAGS=-lstdc++ ./configure
+
+6.) Is there a pdf2swf for Windows?
+
+ Windows versions of all SWF utilities (except for avi2swf) are in
+ http://www.quiss.org/swftools/swftools-win32.zip
+ .
+ Notice: You need to unzip the Archive to C:\SWFTOOLS to make pdf2swf work-
+ otherwise it won't be able to find it's fonts.
+
+7.) 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).
+
+8.) Can png2swf handle transparency?
+
+ 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.
+
+9.) 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:
decompresses.
-7.) avi2swf converts my avi files upside down!
+10.) avi2swf converts my avi files upside down!
Try using the -p (--flip) switch.

-9.) Is there a mailing list for SWFTools?
+12.) Is there a mailing list for SWFTools?
- 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.
+ Yes there is. You can subscribe by going to
