64 bit system : DELL Inspirion 15-3520 - my laptop.  I use Linux by
default. ( Pure laziness on my part that I am still running claws-mail
under Windows! ;o)  )

Distro: Parabola GNU Linux : https://parablagnulinux.org with the
current Linux kernel.

Distro source packages were used to install both Scribus 1.4.3  and
SWFTools 0.9.2(.3)

Original file was created with Scribus, then exported from within
the program to pdf.  File consisted of one text object layered
over an annotation ( hyperlink ).

Then, yes, I did indeed execute,

        pdf2swf -T 10 TestDoc.pdf

to get the resulting swf.

Since you appear t0 be putting a great deal of exhaustive effort into
this Hans, how about creating a few of your own pdfs using Scribus?

Thought: how exactly do you create the pdf files which you then attempt
to convert with pdf2swf?  Just maybe the issue lies there?

OK.  I hope you being remunerated handsomely for this gargantuan
effort?!

It could indeed.  Who knows?
