There's a free command line tool here which will convert a PDF into a SWF file. http://www.swftools.org/about.html It's not perfect, but it works decently most of the time. It also runs on either windows or linux. (It may be possible to compile for mac, but i don't see any ready made binaries) -David R _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
