I should learn to read the rest of the archives before repling and repeating what others say :).

Hi

 

I am using pdf2swf for this purpose (i.e. conversion of PDF to SWF on the fly for display on a webpage).  Basically you are going to need to be able to execute pdf2swf from within your webcode (PHP for me) – you will need quite chunky permissions from your web host (possibly a dedicated server).

 

Regards

 

Gary

Hi Gerry,

 

I would recommend searching through the mailing archives and looking at the examples on swftools.org.  Also the command line help is pretty straight-forward and conversion is a snap!

 

A straight call to 'pdf2swf' will print the help, and calling pdf2swf -s help will show additional paramters.

 

What kind of examples are you looking for?  Usually the mailing list is littered with example command lines etc.

 

Best of luck!

 

Matt

I can’t seem to find any examples or samples of how I could use pdftoswf on the web.
Any hints? I am working on a project where the images that I need to load are only available as
Basic pdf’s so I need to convert those to something that Flash can ingest.

Thanks for any tips.
