I need to construct some pdf documents under Zope that incorporate Macromedia Flash *.swf files (static images). The HTML->pdf programs I have seen don't grok *.swf files so a conversion step is needed. Can anyone point me to a server-side swp->jpg (or other format) converter suitable for use under Linux and Zope?
A solution I've used to extract still pictures from RealVideo files, i.e. a proprietary data format, is a python script which launches RealPlayer then uses ImageMagick's import command to capture it's window and save it as jpeg. I guess this wouldn't be very good on the server side, but maybe you could do something like that on a workstation if the images you want are static, and then put them on the server already extracted. hth Jerome Alet -- (c) 1928-????
