Same here. Running swfbbox with -c does not work for me. It only increases the input swf's file size. But loading it via mc.loadMovie() still shows all white areas at the borders.

Similar (but not quite) to Jake's scenario, all my pdfs are exported from openoffice. I ran pdf2swf on these pdfs then swfbbox.

I've uploaded one pdf (300k) at the following url. Hopefully, a fix or workaround can be suggested.

Thanks, I appreciated any help or suggestion.

Usually, this can be fixed with
    swfbbox -O -c file.swf -o file.swf
.
The "-c" option is important, as it will correct the bounding boxes in
a way that MovieClip.loadMovie() sees the correct dimensions.
