Hi Gerry,
If all you need from the pdfs is the images, converting the whole pdf
may be overkill? You could just use pdfimages (part of xpdf package, i
think) to extract the images from the pdfs, convert to jpeg (convert is
part of imagemagick), then work directly with those?
Example Commands:
pdfimages My.pdf image_no
for i in image_no*.ppm; do echo "Converting $i"; convert $i -quality 80
${i%.ppm}.jpg; rm $i; done
I'm sure you could work this into a shell script to be called from php
or whatever. Maybe it is more straightforward to use pdftoswf - i don't
know - but extracting the images would be my inclination.

Any hints? I am working on a project where the images that I need to
load are only available as
Basic pdf's so I need to convert those to something that Flash can ingest.
Thanks for any tips.
