Hi Michael, The numbers in those columns, are not text.
For example, [1 09500214] [1 0526336] are comprised as far as I can ascertain, of two array objects, each array consisting of a signed integer sandwiched between two text fields. While they may render as textual numeric in the pdf, and you can thus select and copy them from the rendered page, they don't actually read as such within the pdf, and thus don't convert as such. Unfortunately, I am not that familiar with the pdf format, nor the swftools code base to really take this further, or suggest a possible way round it. Anyone out there got any bright ideas? Incidentally, the pdf page you supplied was linearised. Not sure that helps a lot, but there you go. ;o) mfg. Chris. --------------- SWFTools-common is a self-managed list.
