Re: [Swftools-common] swfstrings

[Mixotic]

i think the spaces are not included in the swf, it's the same problem i 
had when i wanted to copy/paste text from swfs.

if reported it here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/swftools-common/2009-07/msg00085.html

there is a thread concerning this:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/swftools-common/2008-12/msg00072.html

it doesn't happen with all pdfs, i think only with the ones using null 
characters as spaces. adobe products treats them like spaces, but xpdf 
doesn't. i wrote to derek (mr. xpdf) if he could fix this but didn't get 
an answer.

i doen't know anything about c-coding, is anyone here who is smart 
enough to do this?
