I have installed swftools in my linux debian version 6. In the plone buildout.cfg, added the product wc.pageturner and compiled it. In the plone site control panel – I have also activated the add-on. But when I upload a pdf and try to view using the display tab’s page turner item, it displays the info that

‘Since you do not have swftools installed on this system, we can not
render the pages of this PDF.’

Is anything missing. I am referring the url : http://plone.org/products/wc.pageturner . I have installed the dependancy swftools using the command apt-get -t wheezy install swftools

    The wc.pageturner package uses the pdf2swf command-line tool to do the work. However, the swftools package on Debian does not include that tool:

    This package does not include pdf2swf and avi2swf.

    I suspect the binary violates Debian Free Software guidelines somehow. I have not been able to locate a Debian package that does include the binary.

    You can install the package from source instead.
