Converting Documents
There is a range of available converters, both commercial and free.
We recommend using the open source converter "PDF2SWF" (version 0.9 or later) which can be found here: http://www.swftools.org/
Converting your documents using PDF2SWF is fairly straight forward. Documents are preferrably converted using the command line executable. The following example shows the currently recommended setting for converting your document:
C:\SWFTools\pdf2swf.exe Paper.pdf -o Paper.swf -f -T 9 -t -s storeallcharactersThe last 4 parameters specifies:
| -f | Fonts should be embedded, improves searchability in the document | |
| -T 9 | Sets the target flash version to 9, improves stability | |
| -t | Inserts a stop between each frame, improves stability | |
| -s storeallcharacters | Stores all character information about the texts in the document, improves searchability |
| -G | Makes the document smaller and faster to render | |
| -s subpixels=1.5 | Adjusts image resolution in the document. Should be used in cases where the document contains lots of large images. The value (1.5) can be experimented with to archive desired quality. |
