I've been having trouble with the conversion of PDFs to SWFs.
If the PDFs are created in InDesign, gradients do not get converted properly
using the PDF2SWF utility (http://www.swftools.org). In Quark however, the
conversion works without problems.
I understand that the reason for this, is that InDesign creates 'true'
gradients, whereas Quark effectively fakes them. It looks as though PDF2SWF
currently cannot handle the 'true' gradients effectively. My company is
moving to 100% use of InDesign and since we have a need to regenerate the
pages as SWFs, this is going to be a big headache.
One work-around that I know will work, is to rasterize the gradients. I'd
like to avoid this proceedure if I can, though, because its a lot of extra
work.
Does anyone have any ideas about this? Is there another tool other than
PDF2SWF that can handle such conversions, without altering the layout? Or
are there techniques in InDesign that I could use?
Any ideas would be appreciated,
Thanks,
M.
