A while ago I had same problem, so I wrote a script
that scan the current directory and convert all pdf files found to swfs.

Tested with Windows XP SP1 / swftools v0.6.2.

Quick usage:
1) Save the script as pdfs2swfs.js
2) Copy it to c:\swftools\
3) Open the command prompt.
   (To open command prompt, click Start, point to All Programs,
   point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.)
4) In the command prompt, cd to target directory using cd command.
   example: cd c:\pdf
5) In the command prompt, type:
   cscript c:\swftools\pdfs2swfs.js

         O        [pdfs2swfs.js]
