[Swftools-common] Retrieving object data from PDF to update swf content

[jan bahnsen]

Hi there,

i do have the following scenario:

i shall be provided by PDFs from customer, which contains areas, which
shall not be visible to everyone after conversion into swf.

the customer, before providing this PDF to me, will e.g. use the
rectangle tool in the PDF to mark these areas.

the idea is now, to exctract the information of the coordinates of
this box if the PDF, to e.g. overlay this area in the converted swf
with a white box, covering the content of this area.

once a user has registered to see the whole contents, this white box
shall then be removed dynamically from the swf.

any idea how this could be tackled?

cheers,
jan.
