PDF2SWF - options for manual (clickable) document navigation

_sax — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 08:45:26 GMT

Hi,while having pdf2swf working correctly, I wondered, if there's a way to let the produced swf-slides be clickable to switch to the next slide.Out of the box, it seems like they are "playing" automatically, though switching from side to side automatically. The only alternative right now is to stop

Do you mean you're seeing that behaviour when viewing the swf through the Share interface?

If so, which version of pdf2swf (server) and Flash (client) are you using?

Thanks,
Mike

I did not have any issues in Share, although I didn't try "manually" converted swf's there.
We try to integrate these flash copies for a more convenient alternative to a download in our intranet portal, that is not Alfresco based (but backed through all the documents 🙂 ).
We use flash player 10 and swftools 0.9.0, with pdf2swf coming included.

You might be able to add the "-t" option onto the end of the swf.exe property so it reads:

swf.exe=./bin/pdf2swf -t‍

If you're on v3.2 this can be overridden in alfresco-global.properties, otherwise you'll probably have to add it to custom-repository.properties (note: untested, sorry).

Thanks,
Mike

Actually this doesn't work, even on a command line outside Alfresco. So this option is not the one I've searched for.
But it's good to know, that this configuration accepts such options. This leaves it very easy to adjust to one's needs.
