I'm looking at the textSnapShot issue right now, too.
One quick question before I dive into the sourcecode again: If you need
the dynamic text object (that's an EditText, right?) for it, why did it work
with 0.6.3?

Ah. Good to know. Now that the pdf2swf default is version 6 (used to be
5), this means we could support snapshots "out-of-the-box", once we got
it to work.

Greetings

Matthias
