Re: [Swftools-common] PDF2SWF Support

[Ben Broadhurst]

Hi Rob,
This is due to a restriction in the swf file format, I run into this 
quite frequently as well - normally where there are a lot of company 
logos on a page (I'm looking at you Barclays). The only way I can get 
around it is to either get the original indesign / quark files and track 
down and simplify the vector artwork, or to convert the pdf to a very 
hi-res jpeg and use that instead.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
