Hi. We're using pdf2swf to extract a text from pdf and make it selectable on swf. This tool helped us a lot... but recently we've met some problems. We've found that some pdf's are too complex to convert them to swf's. In these cases pdf2swf process just hangs and needs to be killed. We use following command:
pdf2swf.exe -s textonly -s zoom=96 -s storeallcharacters -f -T 9 "problem.pdf" -o "%%.swf" For us it worked perfectly: swf's were tiny, text in place, so we could easily use textSnapshot's in Flash, until the time we've met mentioned problems. We've found that poly2bitmap solves the issues with hanging pdf2swf, but: 1. Swf is really big (350KB comparing to 10KB before) 2. Converting takes a lot of cpu and memory and the worst 3. There is no selectable text in swf. Any ideas how to resolve our problems? Would it be possibble just to get the text ignoring any other graphics from pdf? Best regards.
