A couple questions following up on what Tim asked, though not in the same vein: 

(1) Does the -s have to be written before each paramater or can it be used for 
an array, like -s multiply=1 subpixels=n?

(2) Does "multiply" affect the dimension of the swf that is output?
 
Thnaks,

Subject: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf -s parameters and optimising swf for size 
and quality

Hi again,

First of all, thanks for the effort on this great piece of free software!

1. I've been playing with -s parameters, which seem to give the user a lot of 
options on how to enhance and optimise the resulting swf for quality and size. 
This is great! However, when using '-s multiply=1.5' for example it seems to 
give the same result as '-s multiply=1'. Is it possible that in a future 
version this could be enhanced or is there some technical limitation why one 
cannot give "-s multiply=1.5"? I would also like to use '-s multiply=0.5' btw.

2. Also, I noticed when using '-s bitmap' that the text gets jpegged, i.e. it 
goes blurry or gets jpeg artifacts. It would be great if in a future version 
the text could be stored as a png and the images as jpeg in the swf (if that is 
possible) in the case of '-s bitmap'.

3. On another note/question: What exactly does '-s subpixels=n' do? I tried it 
with a PDF and otherwise giving the same parameters it gave me a file that was 
bigger than the first one. (First one was subpixels=8, second was subpixels=4) 
which I found strange since it should reduce the quality.

Even without answering these questions: Thank you so much for writing and 
maintaining this software.

Cheers,
Tim
