1. Re: Convert swf (back) to pdf
Dave Merchant Nov 27, 2013 6:45 AM (in response to dimitristz)Simple answer is you can't.
In theory you could save out the graphical elements from the SWF's library and reassemble them into a new document one at a time, but most of the content in SWF files is generated by code, so there are no assets to extract.

2. Re: Convert swf (back) to pdf
dimitristz Nov 27, 2013 11:58 AM (in response to Dave Merchant)Even if the swf file was created from a pdf in the first place, using for example swftools or aXmag's PDF to Flash converter?

3. Re: Convert swf (back) to pdf
Dave Merchant Nov 28, 2013 1:13 AM (in response to dimitristz)The problem is that all the structure which defined the pages of the original PDF has been thrown away, leaving just a bunch of random shapes on a pixel-based Stage area. It's not much more than a screenshot, albeit with vector shapes.

4. Re: Convert swf (back) to pdf
dimitristz May 3, 2014 2:05 AM (in response to dimitristz)There is a solution after all: bundle all swf's in an .orb file using the app of the first link and then convert the .orb file to .pdf using the second app. Both apps are from the same developer.
BTW .orb files can be viewed on iPad/iPhone.
