Re: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf generated file huge size

I doubt that because the pdf size is very small.

It sounds like PowerPoint maybe converting the chinese characters to images.

Subject: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf generated file huge size

I'm exporting ppt to pdf (using openoffice) then converting the pdf to swf (using swftools).  

 

I noticed that for pure english files, if I use the above method, the generated swf is comparable to pdf in size.  However, for most of my foreign language files, the generated swf size is much bigger.  I have a pdf , 367kb, in english and chinese (exported from ppt), but the generated swf is almost 5mb.  Whereas, if I directly export this file from ppt to swf using openoffice, the generated swf is only 142kb. 

 

The command I ran was as follows

 

> pdf2swf -T --flashversion=7 -z --zlib -F --fontdir=\WINDOWS\Fonts Lnopic.pdf -o Lnopic.pdf.swf

 

The version of swftools I use is 0.7.

 

Clues?
