RE: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf - How to reduce the swf file size?

[MG Balaji]

Hello Matthias,

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried the below mentioned options, but it is not 
fine. My PDF page (1 page) size is 3218 KB. To reduce the SWF file size I used 
the option "pdf2swf -s subpixels=1 -s jpegquality=50 file.pdf -o file.swf", but 
the output SWF file size is 923 KB.

I used the --flatten option also, it created the output SWF file size is 1036 
KB. 

So both of the options not use to reduce the SWF file size. If any options 
available like "-O1" or "poly2bitmap" without affecting image quality, it will 
help to all.

Thanks,
Balaji
