In that case, try the following Python script:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
import gfx

add_to_x = 100
add_to_y = 100

doc = gfx.open("pdf", "file.pdf")
swf = gfx.SWF()
for pagenr in range(doc.pages):
    page = doc.getPage(pagenr+1)
    swf.startpage(page.width + add_to_x, page.height + add_to_y)
    page.render(swf)
    swf.endpage()

swf.save("file.swf")
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll need to compile gfx.so / gfx.dll for this to work.
