can I generate a swf from PDF?

Jul 15, 2009 11:35 AM

hello everybody, how I can generate a swf from PDF -> text and images, Example I have these files:
mytext.txt and some pics image1.jpg image2.jpg
This files, was parsing from a pdf file, and I need to inserts to a personalized swf (or fla). Yes, I need a free solution, like ipaper "http://www.scribd.com/ipaper" or flippingbook  "http://page-flip.com/"... any idea: how this projects can  works? because ipaper can read text and select it, it's not a image!! maybe they have an OCR but in AS3? in general, both projects have amazing characteristics.
I know this is complicate but I really need a free solution and not an "unpersonalized" projects, that we can't change.
Now, coming back to a first question, one possibility is a swf compiler (I could be wrong), how can I manipulates an adobe's swf compiler?(by cli or code?)... yes I need advanced topics... but if you know something please help.

 

Any Idea please? Thks4all

 

Fred

    Not sure what this has to do with the PDF language - other than as you note other people have written such tools by reading the PDF reference, I assume you could too...

    I recommend PDF to SWF. I've browsed and listed some PDF to Flash sites, hope this would help you.

     

    http://www.pdf-to-flash-magazine.com

    Offers free online conversion and offline software which is my favorite. Multiple choices can be satisfied. It is such an innovative conversion tool for creating page flipping reading experiences.

     

    http://www.issuu.com

    Terrific online converter with large quantity of users, features in sharing documents (more like magazines 2 me). Multiple formats support: PPT/Word/PDF to Flash

     

    http://www.swftools.org/

    An open source software. To be frank, the conversion effect is not as good as the former. May it meet the needs of flash/web developer.

    http://www.page-flip.com

    Can be the most professional converter with higher credit rating. However the cost is higher. The license fee for per user is €40, and this is for 3 months

    not lifetime.

     

     

    That's all I got.

    I've used http://www.issuu.com for some time but then switched to http://flippingbook.com/ and to say the truth I'm pretty satisfied with the quality of their service.

    Ruth, what's your choice?
