Re: [Swftools-common] e-text

[filip sound]

Hello,

in general, as soon as something is loaded in a browser, it is accessible and ready to be converted into anything possible. swf has no native encryption for texts. but at the same time there is no other format on the web (browser) that gives more security in that concern. it should be quite safe if you render all texts into a jpg - but you'll lose the ability to search for texts in swf. still someone could use OCR software to scan for texts on anything that is displayed on his screen.
so: nothing is secure.

hope that helps.

Hello,

for several years I'm using the pdf2swf for publishing texts on my webpages.
The main reason was and is, to make it more difficult to copy and use those
copyrighted texts illegal. But since the last year I noticed an increase of
stolen texts which I offer. Several Linux users told me, it is really easy for
them to get my swf files and get the text out of it.
Is there a way to make that more difficult with swftools? (I use the GUI).
Or should I better search then for a scribd-alike software which seems
protect the texts more?

Using scribd itself (or concurring sites) isn't an alternative, I want to keep
my texts on my own site.

Any tips, hints?
