Not that I know of without a patch ( though that is of course,
perfectly possible )!

Best way forward would be to let pdf2swf do it's own thing, dumping
the resultant
files into a separate directory if necessary.  Then ,use one of the many command
line batch rename utilities, i.e

http://www.1-4a.com/rename/download.htm ( random link )

out there to do the necessary - DOS Batch isn't exactly
straightforward or forgiving!

HTH.
