You could also try this gem rather than shelling out directly: https://github.com/Krule/pdf_to_swf-paperclip-processor

  • You can generate pdf files with prawn( or other tools available in rails) .Or maybe you can use your pdf files

  • Then you can use pdf2swf tool to convert the pdf to swf from your controller(or model) in your rails applicatoin. Here is the snippet I have used :

    system("usr/local/bin/pdf2swf #{Rails.root}/public/#{pdffilename} -o #{Rails.root}/public/#{swffilename}.swf -f -T 9 -t -s storeallcharacters")

Now your swf will be generated .Now you can flexpaper for more details .

Hope this helps .
