Thanks for the answer, Matthias.

The issue here is that one must know the page size in order to set the
new width or height. This is a real problem when converting
automatically different files with different page sizes.

Since pdf2swf converts PDF documents in the following way:

NOTICE  processing PDF page 1 (841x595:0:0) (move:0:0)

Wouldn't it be possible to add the following options to pdf2swf:
--addtox --addtoy --movex and --movey?

Thanks for your help,
