Re: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf filename incrementing

[DannyT]

Thanks Chris, that's the route I've gone down.

Bournemouth is good thanks, BIC and Pavilion still going strong, bracing ourselves for the summer months and the masses of 'staycationers' to the area.

Not that I know of without a patch ( though that is of course,
perfectly possible )!

Best way forward would be to let pdf2swf do it's own thing, dumping
the resultant
files into a separate directory if necessary.  Then ,use one of the many command
line batch rename utilities, i.e

http://www.1-4a.com/rename/download.htm ( random link )

out there to do the necessary - DOS Batch isn't exactly
straightforward or forgiving!

HTH.

Chris.

PS  How is Bournemouth?  ( I used to work, albeit briefly, at both the
BIC/Pavilion,
      and volunteer at the SWR ) ;o)
