JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler Issue Tracker

As we discussed via email, In latest nightly build, FlashPaper to PDF conversion is available via commandline. Here is part of your last email: ---- I've tried to run your nightly build but it take very long time (ok, not very a problem) and crash after 56 pages with a OOME (OutOfMemoryError). I've increased the memory allocated to the process but for large document (ex 128 pages) it stop with OOME also. For iText, it exist a LGPL fork available here: https://github.com/ymasory/iText-4.2.0 (cool, no ?) An alternative will be also to export document to ODT (LibreOffice Writer). Actually, only the test with a Zoom factor 5 is working for small documents (52 pages). But it's again a nightly build, so an alpha version and it will surely be optimized. ----

The problem with memory is because I convert all pages to images first and then write it to PDF. Maybe I could write them continually... The iText... I still have an anypathy for it because what they did to the license. I like the gnujpdf library, because it uses Graphics2d to generate PDF, which is very intuitive for me. The only problem is lack of Font embedding / Utf-8 support. I took a look in the PDF documentation and also seen PHP class TCPDF which and maybe I can implement the font embedding somehow into gnujpdf. And for ODT format... I guess there exist some Java libraries for it. Does ODT support font embedding?

Memory problem: Please try latest nightly build. It should be better for large documents.

Ough ! Storing all images in memory will clearly result in a OOME ... I agree with you, it's best to write them continually. Again I agree with you about iText. But the link I give you is a fork, so, no more link to the developper of iText. Yes, LibreOffice support font embedding since ODT specification 1.0 (see: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42195). It exist very many API in java for ODT generation. Examples: - http://jodreports.sourceforge.net/ (LGPL) (See also JODConvert !) - http://www.jopendocument.org/ (GPL) - http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/odfdom/index.html (Apache licensed) Do you think it's possible to not put only a picture of the page, but well the objects like text, pictures, ... ? So, the resulting PDF or ODT will be full text searchable.

Oups, not seen your message from yesterday. I will try it now. I speak about ODT specification, but it's ODF specification, not ODT. And since specification 1.0 of ODF you can embed fonts in document.

Very sorry but the same problem occur. OutOfMemoryError :-( Did you already look at ODF (or DOC or RTF) conversion from FlashPaper in place of PDF ?

It's a lot work to do, I will take a look later. And currently, I am leaving for 14 day vacation, so you have to wait, sorry.

No problem ! If it's ok for you, I can implement it. But just to avoid browsing all the code, in which class did you create an image from the swf elements ? My work will be to create a ODF (or RTF) document containing all the elements of a page and not only a picture of the page. This way the document remain searchable and indexable. Is it ok for you ?

You didn't answer to my question, I suppose you're overbooked. Can I help ? I really need this fonctionnality (export to searchable pdf or LibreOffice format).

BitmapExporter class creates the image from a SHAPE object.

how to convert swf to pdf? Any bat command? Is text in pdf copyable? steve8000818@gmail.com

In nightly 1815, export to PDF with selectable text was implemented. I updated the gnujpdf library to support font embedding and utf-8.

Hi Jindra, It's a long time (2014) ! I'm very amazed because yesterday I was needed to read some old documents which have not been converted to PDFnyet, so, naturally, I come back to your wonderfull application and what will be my surprise to read here that you pushed an upgrade for flashpaper export, just some months ago !!! So, first: Thank you ! Unfortunately, I've downloaded the last stable version (14.4.0) and used the command line tools. The OOME remain except if I reserve 4096 Mb of memory and with aa zoom of 8. The export still contain picture of the pages only. How do you use the new export ? Still in command line or do you add an entry in a menu (or popup menu ?) Regards, SteF.

Hi Fonzy, please try nightly 2357 or later. The export should now have really selectable text.
