Hi everyone, I run a French alternative magazine named "le Tigre" (www.le-tigre.net) and I want to let our visitors read our issues online, using a Flash reader (the textual content is also of course available as HTML, but since we are obsessed with layout and typography we also want to give a very accurate graphical view of our paper issues). We prefer free software (for example the whole paper magazine is made using Scribus), and I'm trying to use swftools in combination with fdviewer to generate the reader.
Unfortunately when trying to do this I get a very strange error message about a "missing viewport". I tried to search the Web and the mailing-list archives for similar errors and found nothing. I'm a bit lost and would be glad to get some help. Here is the error message I get when trying to generate the SWF reader: $ pdf2swf -B fdviewer.swf LT017.pdf NOTICE Output filename not given. Writing to LT017.swf NOTICE Adding /usr/share/swftools/fonts to font directories Creator: pdftk 1.12 - www.pdftk.com Producer: itext-paulo (lowagie.com)[JDK1.1] - build 132 CreationDate: 20060911103815+01'00' ModDate: 20060911103815+01'00' Pages: 2 Linearized: no Encrypted: no NOTICE processing PDF page 1 (595x841:0:0) (move:0:0) NOTICE file contains pbm pictures NOTICE file contains jpeg pictures NOTICE processing PDF page 2 (595x841:0:0) (move:0:0) fix bad advance value: bbox=4636, advance=10240 (10240.000000) NOTICE SWF written swfcombine -X 595 -Y 841 "fdviewer.swf" viewport="LT017.swf" -o "LT017.swf" WARNING Didn't find anything named viewport in file. No substitutions will occur. thanks in advance Raphaël. PS : I'm a complete Flash novice and I would like to know to what extent it is possible to modify or customize the existing free PDF players like fdviewer. I know some Flash artists and can ask one of them to draw a player but I don't know how this can work together with pdf2swf. If I manage to do this, the result will be released as open source. _______________________________________________ Swftools-common mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/swftools-common
