Sorry for late reply.
As I said before it is possible, but if you want that text be
converted as text it will involve some work.
At the moment doing the changes I said it will render text as shapes,
shapes as shapes and bitmaps
as bitmaps.

Note that not all swfs will work, the one generated by pdf2swf will
for sure work as I state above.
