RE: [Swftools-common] Swftools, PDF and HTML5

Yousif,

 

To be fair you picked the one page that was probably an image in the original document and not vector.  If you scroll through the other pages of the linked document you can select the text and do the other things you could do in Scribd before.

 

Although, I would have to admit that I am curious as to Matthias' stance on SWFTools from here on out considering he is now working at Scribd.  Don't get me wrong, I'm more than happy for him and his new position but if we run out of maintainers for this project it would be something I should be contemplating about.

 

Matt

So they've decided to convert pages in the document to jpg images as can be seen here:

I wonder why they chose jpg.

Google has demonstrated the beauty of text pattern recognition in png images.
