You don't actually need to call it in a loop-
just run
   pdf2swf file.pdf -o page%.swf

.

I guess that your viewer application will be Flash 9.
So what I'd recommend is doing
   pdf2swf -T9 -s linkfunction file.pdf -o page%.swf
.
That'll generate a Flash TextEvent
(http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/events/TextEvent.html)
every time the user clicks on a link.
The event's text will be the link URL or page number.
