Hi all,

I did not find an official swftools bugtracker so I assume this is the best
place to report a bug.
Tested x64 pdf2swf under CentOS 6.4 and Ubuntu, both 0.9.1 and 0.9.2
versions.
The bounding box data for the characters generated in SWF is provided
inverted (that is - rectangles with a negative height, from bottom to the
top). This behaviour does not reproduce on Windows. This is inconsistent
behaviour.

To observe it, we run the conversion of any pdf document and inspect the
bounding box info.

To extract the bounding box info for a character of data, one must call:

var snap:TextSnapshot = mc.textSnapshot; //where mc is the page swf
var runInfo:Array = snap.getTextRunInfo( startIndex, endIndex ); //where
startIndex and endIndex are the indices of the start and stop characters
for whichever text you're selecting

var shapeObj:Object = runInfo[i]; //Select the character whose bounding box
you want to examine
var topY:Number = Number( shapeObj['corner0y']); //Extract the top corner
of the character bounding box's y coordinate
var bottomY:Number = Number( shapeObj['corner1y']);//Extract the bottom
left corner y value


Now you can compare y values and, normally, the top y should be LESS than
the lower y, but in Linux installations this appears to be flipped.


Is this a bug or a feature? Is there any chance this will be fixed in the
future?


Thanks in advance,
