Convert PDF to SWF in Python

Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET lets you convert PDF files to SWF programmatically. The API imports each PDF page as a slide with SlideCollection.add_from_pdf, then exports the presentation with Presentation.save and SaveFormat.SWF.

SWF is a legacy Adobe Flash format intended for compatibility with older workflows and is not supported by modern web browsers. See the presentation import guide for details about importing PDF pages.

Install the library from PyPI by using the following command:
