Re: [Swftools-common] what's the best svg to swf method?

[Michael Hansen]

This reminds me. Matthias is there a reason for the 'odd' implementation af shades i pdf2swf? 


A simple shade box wih a size of approx. 1kb (pdf) is 'pumped-up'  to about 15kb!


Swf6 supports gradient fills, but an investigation of the bytecode
reveals that the resulting swf is construct of a large amount (approx.
500)  of solid rectangles ontop of each other and in different shades.


I don't know if it's the 1.3 pdf forma, xpdf or swf2pdf that is the reason for this.


Any comments? :o)

Thanks.
But I was hoping to get maximum effort - I have svg graphics that is
15kb. It is literally about 50 lines and about 30 fills. I'm importing
it from svg to pdf (I discovered that possibility in scribus), then to
swf (using pdf2swf tool) and it is 65kb big... For 50 lines it's a big
too much, although it looks really nice. But I wanted to get about
5-10kb swf...

So - maybe another question - what GUI for designing graphics would you
suggest? That wouldn't cause problems with importing...? And is there
any future plan for creating svg2swf tool in swfc?

greetings,
jacek

I'm not aware of any "direct" svg2pdf converters. You can save to .ps
from inkscape, though, and then use ps2pdf.
OpenOffice can also export pdf, if you manage to import your svg into
it (there are rumors that an SVG import filter for OO exists).
