[Swftools-common] misshaped glyphs when converting to version 9 swf

[IM User]

Hello Soroush,

 

You can try giving pdf2swf version 090 a try.

 

I have similar issues with 091 with some non-arabic fonts where the glyphs show the same behavior as yours.

 

Using pdf2swf 090 (while still using Flash 9 <T 9>) seems to handle it better, as was the result of your sample PDF.

 

Good Luck

 

JL

Hi all,

I am using pdf2swf to convert some Arabic pdf files to swf and use them in a flipbook product that require swf files to be at least flash 9. when I convert this pdf http://simplewebcode.com/sample.pdf to version 8 and above http://simplewebcode.com/8_and_above_misshaped.swf I get the bold glyphs misshaped and artifacts as in this snapshot http://simplewebcode.com/misshaped.jpg ; some of the problematic characters are marked with red circles.

Converting to flash 7 is not an option, nevertheless I noticed that it does not show those artifacts http://simplewebcode.com/7_unjoined.swf but instead show some characters unjoined as they should be in Arabic, it is obvious with bold and big size fonts and when zooming as in this snapshot http://simplewebcode.com/unjoined.gif

I am using flash 10 to view the swf files.

Any idea about the problem and solution?

 

Thanks in advance
