Re: [Swftools-common] List of Common Error on windows?

[filip sound]

hello,

with ghostscript you will only get jpgs (basically same as poly2bitmap). either use the jpgs directly (in flash is does not matter if you load jpg or swf) or use swftools to make a swf that contains that jpg. it's all done hundreds of times before so go and ask google please. i did it the same way. without the learn-factor it's only half of the fun - and sense. knowledge must grow in each of us.

so, don't think in / wait for threads - solve it with google queries and common sense.

basically its like this:
- install ghostscript
- install imagemagick
- find the options for ghostscript to get jpgs out of pdf pages (is much slower than pdf2swf!!)
- resize images (if needed) using imagemagick
- assemble swf (if you want swf) using swftools 

hope you're going to learn,
  filip

ps: you can ask me detailed questions anytime

Hi Filip,
 
I already put a thread regarding how to use imagemagic & ghostscript to convert pdf to swf in such cases where we cant use poly2bitmap option... But still no reply for that... can you explain about this...
 
Many thanks,

poly2bitmap does not work for ALL pdf. thats a fact.
use imagemagick & ghostscript as last resort.

those are warnings that produce incorrect (optical) output (but create a swf-file):

                $warnings = array("WARNING softlight blended transparency groups not yet supported!",
                    "WARNING hardlight blended transparency groups not yet supported!",
                    "WARNING colordodge blended transparency groups not yet supported!",
                    "WARNING screen blended transparency groups not yet supported!",
                    "WARNING lighten blended transparency groups not yet supported!",
                    "WARNING multiply blended transparency groups not yet supported!");

in the case of an error you can simply check if the file exists or not.
why make it more complicated than that?

Hello Matthias,
