I also uses SWFTools -- specifically, "pdf2swf" -- to generate Shockwave renditions of PDF documents for document previews. If you're using HomeBrew to manage packages, and you run the following command, you might run into some problems: ? 1 $ brew install -v swftools Namely, the "pdf2swf" command (among others) will not be installed due to some missing dependencies. This is most noticable when installing SWFTools on a clean system. To fix this, install the following packages prior to attempting the above command: ? 1 $ brew install freetext libjpeg giflib swftools This should result in a clean build of SWFTools with the pdf2swf command available in your path and for use with Alfresco. As for swf transcode, i find some tips on http://www.swftomovmac.com/ --------------- SWFTools-common is a self-managed list.
