To convert PDF to SWF, we may use the utility pdf2swf in SWF Tools. However, the feature of specifying the frame rate has not been documented yet. The other day Matthias Kramm told me this option just hided behind -s.
Usage: pdf2swf [-options] file.pdf -o file.swf
-h , --help Print short help message and exit
-V , --version Print version info and exit
....
-p , --pages range Convert only pages in range with range e.g. 1-20 or 1,4,6,9-11 or
....
-s , --set param=value Set a SWF encoder specific parameter.
?See pdf2swf -s help for more information.
....
To specify the frame rate, we just need to use pdf2swf -s framerate=?.
Donate
As a freelancer (currently working as a contractor) and a dad of three kids, I truly appreciate your donation to support my writing and open-source software development! Your contribution helps me cope with financial uncertainty better, so I can spend more time on producing high-quality content and software. You can make a donation through methods below.
When sending money, please be sure to add a note “gift” or “donation” if possible, so it won’t be treated as my taxable income but a genuine gift. Needless to say, donation is completely voluntary and I appreciate any amount you can give.
Please feel free to email me if you prefer a different way to give. Thank you very much!
I’ll give back a significant portion of the donations to the open-source community and charities. For the record, I received about $30,000 in total (before tax) in 2024-25, and gave back about $15,000 (after tax).
