Hi,

I am playing with PDF2SWF for a project I am writing. It requires the
converted SWF to be imported inside a Flex3 app.

The problem is that the SWF is imported as a AVM1 (Flash8 or less) file
and I cannot communicate in the right way from my Flex3 application.

While converting the PDF I don't want *ANY* ActionScript in it (I don't
use preloader or viewer) so I think it could be easy to, at least,
"fake" a AVM2 SWF file.

There is a runtime solution at this address:

http://www.danielhai.com/blog/?p=35

I don't know if it works: I'd like to "hack" the SWF file before loading it.
I have also had a look at pdf2swf sources but they are too big to just
begin the hack.

BTW: Matthias, I am quite a good C coder (writing in C since 1992), and
I am loving your SWF tools. Do you need any help?

Ciao,

Fabio

This already works, use patameters:

"-T 9"

Gregor is right- 
a -T9 should do the trick (in the latest CVS version).

The corresponding AVM enabling code is to be found at lib/rfxswf.c at
line 1314:

  if(swf->fileVersion >= 9) {
      if (swf->firstTag && swf->firstTag->id != ST_FILEATTRIBUTES)
      {
          U32 flags = 0x8; // | 128 = usenetwork, | 8 = hasmetadata
          swf_SetU32(swf_InsertTagBefore(swf,
swf->firstTag,ST_FILEATTRIBUTES),flags);
      }
  }

1992? Not bad. You beat me by 4 years :)

> and I am loving your SWF tools. Do you need any help?

Always! 

Of course, it depends on what you would like to help me with.

The most pressing thing right now are natural gradients, i.e. the
conversion of PDF gradients to SWF gradients. Right now, PDF gradients
are converted to (thousands of) SWF polygons, even though SWF has a
gradient command. 
In order to implement this, the gradient call in lib/devices/swf.c needs
to be implemented, and lib/pdf/GFXOutputDev.cc needs to be tweaked os it
passes gradients (shaded fills) through.

Greetings

Matthias

Hi,

Wanting to try the swfrender utility, I grabbed the CVS source and
tried to compile it. But there are always one thousand errors while
compiling one file, there are the first ones :

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/test/swftools/lib/pdf'

I am using Slackware Linux 10.2. Please note that I can compile both
the released version 0.8.1 and the development snapshot from
september, but neither contain the swfrender utility. Do I miss
something ?

Thanks in advance.

Please download a recent xpdf version from
    http://foolabs.com/xpdf/
and place it in lib/pdf/

Then run:

    perl injectxpdf.pl pdf-3.02.tar.gz

Greetings

Hi Gregor and Matthias,

I have compiled the "-dev" version of pdf2swf, and calling conversion
with these parameters:

pdf2swf -T9 -f -p 1 -s insertstop -s jpegquality=50 "in.pdf" -o "out.swf"

but I get the following WARNINGS:

WARNING Ignored parameter: flashversion=9

Is it really working or am I missing anything?

Ok. I'll have a look. BTW: where can I find a reference of SWF commands
and their syntax? (if any?)

Ciao,
Fabio

Hi Matthias,

I tried your method but it didn't work well.

I downloaded the xpdf 3.02 source and ran your perl script, I got lots
of text coming from successful patching, but I also got the following
suspect messages :

patching file config.h
Hunk #1 FAILED at 53.
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file config.h.rej

and at the end :

Hunk #1 succeeded at 919 (offset -6 lines).
Died at inject-xpdf.pl line 18.

Running again "make" gave me the same errors. Looking at the command
line, I guessed that I needed to make a symbolic link from
/lib/pdf/xpdf-3.02 to /lib/pdf/xpdf

I ran "make" again, this time the GfxOutputDev.cc compiled
successfully but the next file failed with the following errors :

g++ -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I/home/test/include -I/usr/include/freetype2
-Ilame -fPIC -fPIC -Wparentheses -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -O
-fomit-frame-pointer  -I ./ -I xpdf InfoOutputDev.cc -o

xpdf/OutputDev.h:93: error: `NULL' was not declared in this scope

Since I saw a xpdf-3.01 folder in lib/pdf, I also tried to use the
3.01 version of xpdf source, I got exactly the same message from the
perl scripts. I made a symbolic link as before and tried make, and
this time I got this :

g++ -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I/home/test/include -I/usr/include/freetype2
-Ilame -fPIC -fPIC -Wparentheses -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -O

Any idea ?
