Something like this is not supported, at least not directly.

It should be possible to accomplish it with the color matrix filter
present in Flash 8, though- load a converted PDF into a MovieClip,
and then put that MovieClip on the scene with a color matrix
of
(0.3 0.3 0.3 0)
(0.3 0.3 0.3 0)
(0.3 0.3 0.3 0)
(0   0   0   1)
