PDF to Flash converter?

c q · 06-26-2007, 10:19 AM

Hi friends...

I have been exploring an easy way to convert pdf files to flash movies with animations like flipping pages etc., buttons for zoom, search etc.

I tried using the open source pdf2flash, but it results in a scrollbar-less flash document which auto forwards. it doesn't even have fwd/back/stop buttons.

then i tried out adobe's own flash paper. Unfortunately, no matter what i did, it allows users to print the files. it also results in loss of internal hyperlinks.

also used print2flash, same problem with this software.

i saw an advertisement of a software called pdf-flasher which seems to fulfill all my requirements : http://www.pdf-flasher.net but the download doesn't work

any help on this problem?

FlashPaper I believe allows you to put passwords on the files and allows you to prevent printing. I've used it before and I remember it had these options. I'll check it out again.

I tried using the options again... but they really don't work.

there is a pdf security dialog box which allows me to choose what kinda security features i want... but when i convert the document to flash, none of those security features work. I thnk they are meant to work only when you convert any document to pdf and not swf.

Now i am contemplating if its possible to create a kiosk like interface in flash, which will allow me to embed a pdf into a flash movie so that the pdf opens with its usual security features.

If you want host publication on you own domain/server - Try http://www.pressmo.com (no adds, no branding)

Take a look at pressmo.com, its a online conversion service, I like desktop solution better, so I now use http://www.xflip.com/ to convert pdf to flash with flipping pages.
