I did not try adding the fonts directory but tried every other thing to get this working, but it didn’t.
I did a similar solution as you have, but instead of a batch file I developed a windows service that will perform the task since I had to handle multiple PDF conversions at one given time. You are correct that working it this way makes it very difficult to handle exceptions but I have made a log which gathers all the exception. I had to make this asynchronous since there was no other option. I totally agree with you that we should have it as a COM or .net object. Hope someone comes up with it pretty soon.

It took me a while to work out all of the permissions, etc. For instance, I needed to add a C:\swftools\fonts directory to get around registry access problems. I created a batch file that the web service calls that in turn calls the pdf2swf.exe. It helped me separate problems on the web service side vs. specific problems with the pdf2swf.exe. You will need to work out another problem that I have yet to solve properly. As a separate process, if the pdf2swf fails, it doesn't throw the exception back to the web service, it throws it to the OS. If you wait for the process to execute, your thread that called the exe will be waiting forever. If you get multiple bad requests, your server resources could take a hit(especially if you have Dr. Watsons popping up). Does anyone have a good solution for handling pdf2swf.exe crashes when run from another application? For windows development, it would be great to have pdf2swf as a COM object or .Net object. -John John Ramsey -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
