I've observed a couple of glitches when rendering a PDF with the -i 
(ignoredraworder) option, one of which occurs when it is combined with -G 
(flatten). 

I'm fairly Flash ignorant, but it appears that on some pages the shape that 
would fill the background (or parts of it) with white is not being drawn, and 
there are areas of transparency. 
This isn't obvious in a web browser with a white background, but if rendered 
with swfrender and previewed (which shows these areas as grey) or displayed in 
a page with a colored background it becomes obvious. 

In general the command I'm running is as below, but with the various 
combinations of -i and -G added to it: 
pdf2swf -p 1-5 -v -f -T 9 -t -s storeallcharacters 

When using this command, or combined with -G, I don't see any issues in the 
rendered. 

When using only -i, the HP logo on page 3 is drawn with a transparent/grey box 
visible around it and to the right. 
When -i and -G are combined, the same issue is present on page 3, but 
additionally the background of page 1 is transparent/grey. 

I've uploaded the PDF and the various .swf renderings to 
http://ultradodge.minus.com/m11mXEkPw/4l if anyone wants to investigate (the 
background on that site shows up the areas I mentioned). 
(Alternatively if someone can point me in the direction of what could be 
causing this I may be able to chase it myself). 

cheers
