Franck, Rightly or wrongly ( dependent upon your point of view ), pdf2swf replaces any % character it finds in a stated -o output string with a text character representation of the pdf page number it has just processed, writing it out as a filename. It repeats this process for all the pages contained in a pdf.
Several snags may occur with this, including the attempted creation of directories which possibly don't yet exist! I'm sure a patch or switch would resolve the issues as stated, but until such time arrives, you are rather up the creek without a paddle. ;o) That said, as Tobias stated, you do seem to have a very odd -o output string! I'd hazard a wild guess from the format, that it is a mangled url? As such, /570976770/aksldjf%20asl%20%20%20alksd%20fj%26apos%3B%26apos%3B23kl32/instructions.swf where, %20 = [SPACE] %26 = &, and thus %20apos = &apos = ' ! %3B = ; translates your -o output string as, /570976770/aksldjf asl alksd fj';';23kl32/instructions.swf Am I right, or way off kilter? While most non alphanumeric characters may used as directory and file names in Linux, usually duly referenced with the appropriate delimitor, more often than not their use causes nothing but confusion, both to programs and users. Something easily avoided by being a tad more circumspect with the original coding. In other words, there must be an alternative ( and simpler! ) way of doing whatever it is you are trying to do!! ;o) HTH. Regards, Chris.
