Re: [Swftools-common] This file is too complex to render- SWF only supports 65536 shapes at once

well, it's not a bug. it's simply a limitation of the swf file format afaik.

i'm catching the output of pdf2swf to find pages with certain warnings or errors. those pages  can be rendered with -poly2bitmap. if that fails too, i'm using imagemagick and ghostscript to render plain images from the pdf page.

ask if you need more advice.

Hi,

 

I know, you’ve all seen this error before and I know that it has already been discussed in this mailing list.

 

However, in our case, this error often occurs because some smart guy embeds detailed images as vector-graphics directly into the PDF. Therefore I wonder if anyone know some software to actually take those embedded graphics and re-embed them as a rastered image. Important thing would be, to keep the text as “real” PDF-text so that it can be selected in the resulting swf-File.

 

We’re very grateful for any hints…

 

Best regards

Andy
