Hello Hans,

the pdf text extractions also works for us. But we need the correct text inside the SWF an this is not correct. Just check the output of swfstrings page_00010.swf there are characters missing.

Greetings
Mike

Hallo Michael,
not sure I fully understood your issue, but probably your "-vvv" creates the problem.
To have triple verbosity I think the correct use is "-v -v -v" instead of "-vvv".

I converted the page and created a search index file (the pure text saved in a .txt file; we use that for search); and both looks OK; see attached.
The text was extracted with pdftotext (part of xpdf), with the setting "-enc UTF-8".

Hopefully this helps ;-)
Regards
Hans

Hello All,

we have a strange issue with pdf2swf 0.9.2 
The PDF contains item numbers like this one: 09500214
From the source pdf I can copy + paste them perfectly.
However when I convert the pdf to swf the textinformation partially gets lost.

I already inspected pdf2swf with the -vvv option and in the log everything seems right.

But when I check the text with swfstrings i get some unicode crap instead of the original item number.

Here is the part of the Log for the second item on the Page with the Text:
"LSPG       1 09500214       105263    36"

This is how I converted the file:

pdf2swf -T 9 -G -f -vvv catalog.pdf -o 1.swf

Here is the complete log file as zipped Textfile: http://m.scireum.de/cid-font-log.txt.zip

To speed things up a little we offer 500 USD payed per paypal to the fist person who can solve our issue.  

The issue is resolved if we can convert the pdf to swf with the correct text in the swf

For further information just contract me address@hidden
