Hi, many years ago I successfully converted specific PDFs (they were all created by the same generator and used a fixed set of fonts and drawing primitives) The pipeline consisted of ghostscript to translate the pdf into uncompressed, a perl script to convert the graphic instructions into ming source, and finally the perl version of ming to create swf. The resulting file is made of lines, areas, and static text.. Of course text could be reconstructed with the help of a decompiler, but it is possible to generate the file so that no character / glyph index relation is present
The procedure was a bit tedious, and so the next time the same files were requested, I built a solution that hooked into the publication process even before pdf generation Regards Wolfgang
