Re: [Swftools-common] PDF takes forever to process (possibly never finishes)

[Matthew Richer]

Hello everyone,

 

I have a PDF which I’ve generated from an AI file (using GhostScript).  I then want to take the AI file to SWF using PDF2SWF.  The problem is the file never finishes processing.   The only way I can get it to complete is to use “-O1”, however, in a programmatic environment I cannot readily detect this scenario without the use of some large process timeout and then utilize the O1 parameter.  Is it possible there is a bug here or some other optimal workaround?

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Cheers,

 

Matt.
