Ok, let me get this straight:
You don't want to convert a .swf file into a .eps file. You want to export
data generated from within your .swf file into a .eps file?
If it is just vector images you want to export, than I would say go with
SVG, it's XML based, and most vector image tools will read in SVG. There are
various free tools which will let you convert SVG into a raster image if you
need.

If you want to do PDF, search for PHP or ASP (depending on your server
scripting language) PDF libraries. There are several out there, that will
let you do something like:
$pdf = new PDF(); // create a new PDF
$pdf->drawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2); // draw a line on the PDF...the data is passed
in from your swf
$pdf->writeFile("output.pdf"); // save out a .pdf file.
