Render flash object to PDF

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What would you like dompdf to do:

I would like it to recognize an object tag, take a flash object from within it 
and convert it to a pdf.

Do you have an example:

Having a simple snapshot of the flash object (treated like a static image), 
instead of rendering each frame, would work just fine.
A case what I have in mind is having a flash object that simply contains a pie 
chart of a graph chart. If those could somehow be converted to an image that 
would be embedded to the pdf, it would be ideal.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, this may not be more difficult than just taking an image from the Flash 
object. I think the flash object that draws the chart requires Javascript to be 
executed, and Dompdf doesn't execute Javascript.
This may be easier to use a server side library for your charts, and insert 
them as regular <img> tags.

Thank you for the reply Fabien.

In this case, JS is not assisting the creation of the object, as it's all being 
dynamically passed via URL variables.

I am also looking into other server-side options. Unfortunately, most of those 
require access to the fla file one way or another, which is something I do not 
have.

Ok for the JS.
I thought about server side scripts written in PHP or the langage that you use 
on your server. There are a few ones in PHP like http://jpgraph.net/ 
http://graphpite.sourceforge.net/ or http://www.pchart.net/

Yeah, jpgraph is the one I'm looking into just now.

Thanks again.
