Of course. Install the .exe version of a recent snapshot, and you'll have a GUI-version of pdf2swf on the desktop and in the start menu. It's called pdf2swf_gui, and it's based on wx windows and fairly recent. > 2.

Download xpython.exe (http://www.xpython.org/), which already contains gfx. Then, put xpython.exe and the following script into a directory of your choice: ------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/python import gfx import os directory = "c:\\path\\to\\pdfs\\" for file in os.listdir(directory): if file.endswith("pdf"): file = os.path.join(directory, file) doc = gfx.open("pdf", file) swf = gfx.SWF() for pagenr in range(1,doc.pages+1): page = doc.getPage(pagenr) swf.startpage(page.width, page.height) page.render(swf) swf.endpage() swf.save(os.path.splitext(filename)[0]+".swf") ------------------------------------------------- Run this with xpython.exe convert.py > 3.

If you don't want buttons, you might try keyboard_viewer.swf. Greetings Matthias
