Thanks Matthias. I downloaded git, (you need to apt-get install 
git-core, not git, on ubuntu), cloned the repository... discovered I was 
missing the xpdf code :

 http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg00774.html

downloaded it and the 3 patches, un'tar'ed and applied the patches, 
re'tar'ed (I feel like a retard by now :) and followed your directions 
of 2006. Bash complained about switch for some reason, but the link

 swftools/lib/pdf/xpdf => swftools/lib/pdf/xpdf-3.02p3

got made... and it compiled! and seems to work just fine! I installed 
something called

 libswfdecmozilla.so    Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999

for firefox instead of the proprietary adobe version and so far so good.

I noticed that swftools made an .swf of the same name as the .pdf 
without my telling it too! That made me smile :) It's the little things 
that guys like me notice right away... incapable of big things as we are.

Thanks for all your hard work Matthias.

This is a wonderful project.
