Links:
+ freetype:

-6.) Is there a pdf2swf for Windows?
+6.) Is there a pdf2swf/avi2swf for Windows?
Windows versions of all SWF utilities are downloadable from
http://www.quiss.org/swftools/download.html
.
+ (There's a self-extracting .exe version of all versions since 0.6.1,
+ and a .zip or .rar archive of the newest development snapshot)
Notice: For now, the utilities need to be installed to C:\SWFTOOLS to make pdf2swf work-
otherwise it won't be able to find its fonts.
-7.) The fonts in the SWFs generated by pdf2swf are wrong!
+7.) Where's the source code of the Windows version?
+
+ It's the same as the Unix source code. If you want to compile
+ under Windows, it's recommended that you get the CVS version
+ of the sources.
+ You need MingW (http://www.mingw.org) to compile it.
+ When cross-compiling under Linux, e.g. the following generates the Windows .exe files:
+
+ CXX=i386-mingw32msvc-g++ CPP=i386-mingw32msvc-cpp CC=i386-mingw32msvc-gcc \
+ ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc && make
+
+8.) The fonts in the SWFs generated by pdf2swf are wrong!
Watch the output of pdf2swf closely.
You should see something like:
to (on Windows) C:\SWFTools\Fonts\, or (on Unix) /usr/local/share/swftools/fonts
to make it work all the time.
-8.) Can png2swf handle transparency?
+9.) Can png2swf handle transparency?

Mode 6 (32 bit RGBA truecolor) is also supported since version 0.4.4.
