Thanks!! That is perfect. I ended up using rfxview.swf which is perfect. Incidentally, is there an easier way to make a dual-page SWF file, other than using the Python script? I looked through the man page for pdf2swf, and I didn't see anything in there off-hand to do this. Thanks again for your help. -- Chris
