Legal documents are cutoff in the viewer

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a PDF that has a mix of Letter and Legal pages
2. Convert to SWF using pdf2swf
3. load into FlexPaper

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Both letter and legal pages do not display fully. Legal pages are cutoff at 
11inches. This affects both viewing and printing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
swftools-2010-02-06-1900 and FlexPaper 1.2.1

Please provide any additional information below.
Have not tested with a document that is ALL legal, I only know this doesnt 
not work with a mixed-size document.

had you try the params as 
http://code.google.com/p/flexpaper/wiki/Converting_Documents while 
converting pdf to swf?

Yes, those exact command line arguments, nothing less, nothing more.

I use PHP and the parameters as they are on the Converting Documents link don't 
work 
(it hangs for me when I add -T 9 to the command line.  I also tried -T9 with 
same 
non-working result).  My server is running CentOS linux.  The swf generation 
path is 
PHP > HTML > HTMLDOC > PDF2SWF > FLEXPAPER VIEWER.  

With that amount of conversions, perhaps it's your PDF generation that's not 
passing 
the right parameters in?

This works for me to generate regular-size pages, haven't tried legal yet:

passthru("pdf2swf -f -t -G -o $resultfile $pdf_file > /dev/null");

I added > /dev/null so that the errors and warnings are not displayed when 
generating 
this SWF from a php page

I generated the swf by hand on command line, by copy and pasting the exact 
parameters 
from flexpaper wiki. My guess is either:

- pdf2swf is cropping the legal pages to 8.5x11

- flexpaper is only setup to display 8.5x11 documents

- flexpaper may get dimensions based on first page? thus making a legal size 
page #3 
show improperly

This affects more than just legal sized pages; I have many documents that 
include a good mix of everything: 
letter, legal, landscape letter, landscape legal, odd-size small documents, and 
some large pages too. The 
visible problems in FlexPaper are overlapping pages, pages not centered in the 
view, or large empty space 
between pages.

I would hope any forthcoming fix will account for all possible page sizes.

Scrolling through such a document in FlexPaper is currently a mess. I can 
provide a sample document with 
mixed size pages if it will help.
