Greetings,
I have a similar problem (I think) and I'm hoping someone can give
me some insight into fixing it. I have a number of PDF document that I
need to convert (on demand) to swf and view. I'm using FlexPaper
(http://flexpaper.devaldi.com/) to view swf files. An important feature
is to be able to search the document. A number of these PDF documents
are scanned documents with an OCR'ed text in them. If I use "pdf2swf
input.pdf -o output.swf " all is well. I can view the embedded OCR
results using "swfstrings" and the resulting swf file is searchable in
the FlexPaper viewer. However there are a number of PDF files that
don't render properly with out using the "-O1" or "-s poly2bitmap"
switch. However the swf files created this way no longer have the
embedded OCR "swfstrings" returns nothing and the resulting swf file
can't be searched in FlexPaper. Is there a way to keep the OCR'ed
strings when using the "-O1" switch or any workaround that will allow me
to extract the strings from a swf file created without the "-O1" switch
and insert them into a swf document created with the '-O1" switch?

Hi John,
for me it looks like a problem with masked objects.
Can You give the commands over the shell, to get an error-msg?
try this to ensure that there is no problem with the images.
/usr/bin/pdf2swf input.pdf -o output.swf -s bitmap
