SWFTools
open-in-new
<p>SWFTools is an <a href="/facts/Open-source_software/HzTaB8E9">open source</a> software tool suite for creating and manipulating <a href="/facts/SWF/5qwLlUC5">SWF</a> files. Distributed under the terms of the <a href="/facts/GNU_General_Public_License/S75KhLSX">GPL-2.0-or-later</a>, it may be compiled from C source, to run under Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Apple OS X. On <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Microsoft Windows</a> systems, the pre-compiled installer also installs a GUI wrapper for the suite's PDF to SWF conversion tool, pdf2swf. </p><p>SWFTools relies upon, and links against, additional third-party libraries for some of its functionality, e.g. <a href="/facts/Xpdf/wzfVm59m">Xpdf</a>, PDFlib, <a href="/facts/Freetype/tCw3bSxv">freetype</a>, and <a href="/facts/Libjpeg/lWr9T19K">libjpeg</a>. </p>
