Re: [Swftools-common] Support for PDF spec 1.6 in pdf2swf

[Chris Pugh]

Out of interest I tried the conversion, under Linux ( not a Mac )
with SWFTools 0.9.0, using -v, the verbose flag.  Did you?

All those GOTO links in the sizable index - from page 1000 onward -
cause the conversion to choke with an 'only supports 65536 shapes'
error.  Plenty of references to this one littering the mailing list
archives. Not all suggested workarounds seem to help.

<snip>
....
VERBOSE | is symbolic
VERBOSE endPage (GfxOutputDev)
ERROR   ID Table overflow
ERROR   This file is too complex to render- SWF only supports 65536
shapes at once
..
</snip>

Up to page 1000, no problem.  After that, try giving pdf2swf small
page chunks to chew on, i.e.

   pdf2swf -v -p 1000.1080 -T 9 PDFReference15_v6.pdf -o
PDFReference15_v6_02.swf

then simply recombine the resulting swf's with swfcombine.  Worked ok
that way when I tried it.

Good luck!

Regards,



Chris.
