Hey guys!

I need a way to embed an SWF into a PDF document dynamically generated with PHP.

PDFlib has the ability to embed images into the PDF by calling the [FONT=Courier New]pdf\_open\_image\_file()[/FONT] command. Is there something similar for SWFs? I know for a fact PDFs support embedding of SWFs, but I can’t find a way to do this with PDFlib or any other tools.

Thank you!
