I'm trying to get the pdf2swf conversion working from within a perl
script. Basically the user will upload a pdf and the server converts
this to swf so it can be neatly embedded in a webpage.
If I enter the command at the shell it works fine, however if I pass the
command to Unix via a perl script (using system,exec,qx or backticks)
the conversion process goes fine but the inclusion of a viewer and/or
preloader does not go well. As I say it works fine except when called
from a perl script, here's the output I get from calling via perl:
NOTICE SWF written swfcombine
"/usr/local/share/swftools/swfs/default_viewer.swf" viewport=abc.swf -o
__tmp__.swf swfcombine -X 765 -Y 990 -r 20.000000
/usr/local/share/swftools/swfs/PreLoaderTemplate.swf
loader=/usr/local/share/swftools/swfs/default_loader.swf
movie=__tmp__.swf -o "abc.swf" FATAL Failed to read from __tmp__.swf
Apologies for the lack of carraige returns!
Can anyone help me get this working, so that my swf file ends up
combined with the viewer/loader correctly?
Thanks!
