[Swftools-common] What does the -G or -flatten option in pdf2swf mean

[Andreas Haufler \(scireum\)]

Hi everyone,

 

I just encountered a swf (generated by pdf2swf) which is terribly slow (takes 100% on my core2quad to render). Now I tried the –G option in pdf2swf and *wow*, it works like a charm, and the cpu is not bothered at all. So I wonder if this option has any downsides or side-effects, or if I can turn it on by default for all my conversation?

 

Best regards,

Andy
