RE: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf - How to reduce the swf file size?

[MG Balaji]

Hi Matthias,

Thank you very much for your help. I tried using only the "subpixels=1" option 
for some of the other pdfs and got a very good result. Also I used the  
"--flatten" and "subpixels=1" options for some of the pdfs, but it is effective 
that much. 

Some pdf pages having the size  5MB to 15 MB(single page). In that case the swf 
size is around 2 MB. I cant use this much size swf file in my application. 
Except the below options, if any other options available?. I am in trouble 
because of this size problem. 

Thanks & Regards,
Balaji
