Hi Gerry,
As Gary mentioned you'll need to have a server side script process the upload file and stream the resulting SWF back to the Flash/Flex app. As for the 'command-line', yes the 'terminal' is the equivalent in the Mac world. Your developer should be able to whip that up without too much effort (at least a POC - proof of concept anyways). Cheers!

Basically you are going to need to be able to execute pdf2swf from within your webcode (PHP for me) - you will need quite chunky permissions from your web host (possibly a dedicated server).

Also the command line help is pretty straight-forward and conversion is a snap! A straight call to 'pdf2swf' will print the help, and calling pdf2swf -s help will show additional paramters. What kind of examples are you looking for? Usually the mailing list is littered with example command lines etc. Best of luck!

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. -Gerry
