Re: [Swftools-common] Swftools, PDF and HTML5

[Raphaël Benzazon]

Hi,     I hope the dev is moving ahead nicely. I have to admit that the first and last scribd publication that I visited was making my powerful desktop PC hang. It seems that the html is not the solution when it comes to reproduce or convert publication for internet.     It was so slow compared the the previous flash version, that was painful to accept that scribd made such a bad technological choice.     Maybe they listen too much the the pseudo prohet Jobs.

Well, what Scribd currently does is text and bitmaps. Vector shapes (gradients etc.) are in my queue, problem is that cross-browser compatibilty of SVG, Canvas etc. is much worse than that of custom fonts. the performance will not be anything near the performance you get when running it on a plugin that has full access to the cpu. Why? The browser has full access to the CPU, too, after all. Also, _javascript_ engines have gotten ridiculously fast. Matthias --
