and it works on images. I did not say that it was not possible to split a 'spread', what I said was that you have to know that 'spread' *exists* in the first place! As far as I am aware, a PDF can consist of a set of pages, each of which can be different in dimensions. Example, Let's suppose a PDF file consists of four pages: pages 1 and 2 are A4, page three is A3 ( actually a 'spread' of 2 x A4 as one page ), and page 4 is A4 ( actually a 'spread' of 2 x A5 as one page ). What tells Adobe Reader that page 3 is a 'spread' and not a full A3 page, and page 4 is a 'spread' and not a full A4 page? Anything?? Visually it may be obvious, but how does a Reader/Viewer program *know* that there is one? If a viewer program can tell the difference, then pdf2swf should be able to tell. If it is unable to tell, then how is pdf2swf supposed to know hat there *IS* a difference?? The tool is only as good as the file that is fed into it!! Regards, Chris. In the example Roy gave, the dump from pdfinfo said there were 4 pages. Adobe Reader said there were four pages. On 23 April 2010 22:12, Andreas M.
