Re: [Flashcoders] Upload PDF into SWF?

[Ali Drongo]

Hi Ian,
My problem with Googlemail is that the web-page was saying 'sending'  
for a few minutes without telling me the message had been sent.  I got  
impatient after looking at the page telling me the message was sending  
and pressed again.


Thanks for your advice re the pdf upload/conversion. I need a Flash  
app that can have a pdf uploaded to it, which can then be manipulated  
by the user, and then saves a pdf on the server, I guess this can be  
done with some PHP that converts the pdf into a format that Flash can  
read and then converts the image flash produces back to a pdf.


Cheers,
Ali

Just so you know - this comes up a lot - Google Mail is 'clever'
enough to realise that you've received a copy of your own outgoing
mail via a mailing list, and so doesn't show it to you as a new mail -
no matter how many times you post.


It sounds as if this is going to be tricky in AS.

I guess this could also be done in some server-side PHP relatively  
easily,
maybe converted to a different file format that Flash can import  
first?


A serverside solution sounds the most likely answer to this one.

No, that's the thing - it's just browser-based, with no client  
installation

other than Flash Player and Adobe Reader.

Hi,

   I would say that "you cannot" may not be 100% correct.  You probably 
could with AS3 as you can load anything in Binary format and manipulate 
the file as you see fit.  It just probably has not been done yet...


   You could look at Server Side code to deal with your PDF and turn it 
into an image to load in.  There are a few things around that will 
generate images from PDF's, etc.


   Starting here would be a good bet:

You cannot load a PDF into Flash.  You must have misread any article that you 
think said you could.
