Come Hither: Needs SWF Help
I'm trying to rip a book from a web site. It's presented in a Flash player and the pages are individual SWF files. When you are in the viewer, you can zoom in to a resolution like 4320px high and everything is crystal clear. When I rip the SWF files, however, the resulting files are only 603 x 783px and blur like hell at high resolutions.

Any ideas?

Probably because you're ripping them as TIF images and not flash files.

I ripped them as SWF and converted them to Tiff.

yeah no, you need to rip the text from the swf files.

if you convert from swf to tiff it'll convert it at the size the converter converts at.

Which is usually smaaaall.

There is no text layers, only image layers. I ended up manually overriding the render script to convert at 4x the size. It worked :D

If they're scalable they would have to be text layers or shape layers as they are vector graphics.

There should be a way to extract the text into a directly editable format.. perhaps not in text but still scalable nevertheless.

I don't know how effective a batch OCR using Acrobat would be on the larger-size TIFFs but that might bring it together too.

Just a few thoughts but if you're happy with the TIFFs then I guess it doesn't matter, lol.
