Re: [Swftools-common] PDF2SWF - Updated List of Arguments??

[imuserpol]

I'm happy to update the Wiki, however unless I know what the currently
undocumented options actually do, I am hesitant to make a guess to the
detriment of the community.

If others would like to chime in if they have had any experience with the
options listed in this thread or even others not listed but are in use, I
would be more than willing to take that input and add to the wiki.

Thanks for the response.

JL

The information given on the wiki is merely straight dumps of the ouput
given by the issuing of the following two commands,

        pdf2swf

        pdf2swf -s help

Both restricted to the stable versions 0.9.1 and 0.9.2

But the wiki is a *wiki*.  Anyone can update it if they so choose.
Feel free to join in! ;o)

The commands merely need to be added to the help output.  As far as I am
aware this is only done when the options have been confirmed, and a new
stable version is released.

Good question.

Not as far as I am aware.

That said, when not compile a list, and then they can be added to a
development version help section on the wiki?
