Hi Gregor and Matthias,

I have compiled the "-dev" version of pdf2swf, and calling conversion
with these parameters:

pdf2swf -T9 -f -p 1 -s insertstop -s jpegquality=50 "in.pdf" -o "out.swf"

but I get the following WARNINGS:

WARNING Ignored parameter: flashversion=9
WARNING Ignored parameter: storeallcharacters=1
WARNING Ignored parameter: insertstop=1
WARNING Ignored parameter: jpegquality=50
NOTICE  processing PDF page 1 (453x680:0:0) (move:0:0)
NOTICE  SWF written

Is it really working or am I missing anything?

Ok. I'll have a look. BTW: where can I find a reference of SWF commands
and their syntax? (if any?)
