Hi Sylvain, Your PDF probably has many layers/objects which all get replicated in the SWF on conversion. If you run swfdump you will see the difference between a good/bad swf. Try dumping the output of swfdump to a text file, the size of the text file is a reasonable indicator to identify "bad" PDF pages. Not pretty but it helps. Regards Tony Stallan

I have converted a PDF with just one page, but the flash player really has difficulties to read the swf generated. In fact, it use many CPU ressources and it take a long time to display the swf (about 1 minute). Have you ever seen this point ? If I convert the PDF with -O1 option, the swf is nice and there is no problem with it. So, is there a solution to fix the problem and to generate good swf ? Or else, I search for a way to identify the few wrong swf before I load them in my program (because if I load a wrong swf, it will use too many ressources on the computer of the user of my application) in order to re-convert the pdf with -O1 The decompressed size of "wrong" swf is heavier than good swf. It's maybe an indicator for identification. But I don't know how to get the decompressed size of a swf file in actionscipt. I have 2 examples of one-page PDF wich give me a "bad" swf. Maybe can I send them by email ? (and the 2 swf generated) Greetings (sorry for my poor english) -- Sylvain Deniaud Ingénieur Etude et Développement RIA
