I’m building a pet project which needs to convert pdf and ppt files to flash swf files on the server side. This should look similar to what Scribd, Docstoc or Slideshare these websites do. But after some googling, I couldn’t find any open source tools or libraries to do this except the OpenOffice wrapper. So I’m wondering how those websites do it or maybe there are some tools/libraries I don’t know?
Thanks,
Wei
Convert your ppts into pdfs. And then use swftools for converting pdf (using openoffice, you can use uno bridge, which is available in C, C++, python, java, for automating the whole pdf conversion)) into swf. Its an open source library and it is damn good.
