+
+    Try running pdf2swf with the "-v" switch.

+    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 ./)

     Mode 6 (32 bit RGBA truecolor) is also supported since version 0.4.3, however

     32 bit images correctly.
