[Solved]PDF2SWF installation question

[gluck113]

Hello

I am new to the Alfresco world and not everything is clear. 
I'm trying to get working the Labs 3 version.
I followed the compiling instructions for the PDF2SWF, but nothing changes in the alfresco interface. I think I must indicate somewhere or put the compiled files in alfresco. But where?

Thanks for your help

It sounded like the OP wasn't particularly familiar with his O/S,

Yes it's true I'm quite new to the open-source world (Alfresco and Linux). But I'm starting to catch the strength of linux commands. I hope that in a couple of months it will be my turn to explain all this to newbees!  :wink:

I did exactly what is mentioned under the http://www.swftools.org/faq.html point 3 but still doesn't work! It still indicate that

Cannot run program "pdf2swf": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory

Erm,

which it seems is pdf2swf.1 on my computer but erased the .1

You haven't compiled the source code for swftools you downloaded.
You just copied a source file, not a build executable.
Read the documentation that comes with swftools to learn how to configure and make the binaries.

Hi spoogegibbon
The problem was the jpegLib wasn't functioning correctly on the system so the pdf2swf compilation where hazardous and not functional!
Now every thing seems to be correct (at least the logs don't print out anything anymore!) but I don't see any difference or any newer options when I look up content.
Any examples on how it should look?

Well after letting this topic cool down I decided to retry it!
Now that I'm a little more familiar with alfresco and Linux it worked. If it can help anyone here are all the librairies I had to install.
-zlib
-freetype
-jpeglib
-ungif
-giflib
-GNU C++ compiler
-swftools (of course  )

Hi guys, when I use the pdf2swf (I mean that it's installed on my system), I get errors in my Alfresco logs. Some "broken pipe".
Did you already see that?

Kind regards
