Re: [Swftools-common] Progressive download

Matthias,

I am not sure what you mean by thumbnail...

I am interested to have the document swf separate from the viewer, I am building the viewer like a player, and document swf is loaded afterwords.

I am looking for solution to not put a user wait on a 40MB document swf to load.

Maybe pdf2swf can build multiple pages one by one and create a wrapper swf to load them and I load the wrapper?

I guess too much wrapping :)


Alternatively, can pdf2swf output the document one swf per page?

Sincerely

Depends on the PDF. At least all the fonts need to be downloaded before
anything is displayed.

Would a thumbnail (low resolution bitmap of a page) help?
