Re: [Swftools-common] Passing swf in stdin/pipe to swfdump
Isn't it possible to read from stdin into a buffer in memory, then determine it's size, and then go over the data in memory?

How can this be done without writing it to a temporary file on disk and then passing the filename as parameter, for example using a pipe or similar option? Afraid that a temporary file is the only way to do this- in its current implementation, swfdump reads the file twice- once to determine the file type, and a second time to actually parse, so it can't process a stdin stream for that very reason.

Well, the whole point of -i is that it allows pdf2swf to do destructive changes to the layout in order to achieve a minor speed increase. It's a pretty old option, and you probably shouldn't be using it anymore, unless you have some very good reason. (If so, I'd like to hear what it is) In my case it was playing with options to reduce the number of shapes in the generated SWF - the conversion in this case blows out the 65k limit on the PDF I referenced (at page 245 of 208) unless -i is used. If it's not a recommended option, I'll look at generating one SWF per input page for larger PDFs instead. cheers tim --- SWFTools-common is a self-managed list.
