[Swftools-common] Info on Xpdf / pdfinfo

[Joao Torres]

Hey there,

sorry to ask about it here, but I can't seem to find a user list for
Xpdf. Does anyone know if there's any?

As Swftools is based on the Xpdf, maybe someone here has an idea on
how to solve my problem or where to look for a solution.

The thing is that I'm getting different info from the pdfinfo on linux
and on a macos. Specifically the page size is showing different values
on each one, and it seems that the linux version is right.

The "pdfinfo" is version 3 on both cases, the linux is an Ubuntu v8.10
running on a PC Intel 64bit, and the Mac is a Mac OS X Server 10.4.11.

The pdfinfo results were:

At the Mac:

# /sw/bin/pdfinfo zapatos_y_bolsos_8.pdf

I got an error for unsupported PDF version, then I converted it to
version 1.3 and got the same result:

Notice the "Page size" is different on each of them, although the file
is the same.

Any ideas of what may be causing this?

Thanks in advance,

Joao Torres.
