Hi Dimitrios,

The only program I'm, aware of is a commercial one:

   http://www.flashjester.com/?section=tricks_flashhandout

There's an evaluation version available, so you can see if it meets
your needs or not.

The only way to achieve conversion back with swftools ( feel free to
correct me someone ), is to export your swf to an image with swfrender,
then recreate the pdf from he image with one of the many tools that
are out there.  Unfortunately, this method also blows out of the water
the retention of any swf elements you are wishing to keep. 

HTH.

Regards,


Chris.
