Files with the .SWF extension contain animations, which can be interactive, stored in a proprietary format, originally created by FutureWaves Software in the year 1993. The assumption of the SWF format was to create Small Web Format files – in order to support internet animation.
Files with the .PDF extension contains text or graphic documents, stored in a format designed in order to provide portability between applications and platforms. It stores a flat document of constant appearance, a digital printout. Specification was developed in the 90s by the Adobe company.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the SWF file after converting to PDF may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from SWF to PDF to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting SWF to PDF does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in SWF format, properly converted to a PDF file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file SWF the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of SWF file to other than PDF. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your SWF file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to PDF on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the SWF file in its original format (without conversion to PDF file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
