\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-defaultviewer\fR
-Link a standard viewer to the swf file. Therefore the swf file will be "browseable", i.e.

-The viewer swf to be used is determined by a symlink named "default_viewer.swf" in
-the swftools data directory.
-.TP
-\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-defaultloader\fR
-Link a standard preloader to the swf file which will be displayed while the main swf is
-loading.
-The loader swf to be used is determined by a symlink named "default_loader.swf" in
-the swftools data directory.
-.TP
-\fB\-B\fR, \fB\-\-viewer\fR \fIfilename\fR
-Link viewer \fIfilename\fR to the swf file. See http://www.quiss.org/swftools/pdf2swf_usage.html
