Re: [Swftools-common] Complex pdf files

[Ben Broadhurst]

 You can rasterize anything that's not text with "-s poly2bitmap", but 
that tends to give pretty blurry results - get around this with "-s 
multiply=4". That's as good as you're going to get I think; as far as I 
know there isn't a way to simplify vector artwork in a pdf.

Hope that helps,
ben.
