PDF to Flash Conversion
In the alphabet-soup world of computing, file extensions form one of the biggest sets of acronyms. Converting and saving files means wading through an array of extensions, including PDF for portable document format files and FLA for Adobe Flash files. Fortunately, going from PDF to FLA takes just a few clicks, and you'll be able to add a PDF to a Flash file and resave the document in that format.

Tips & Warnings
Adding a PDF to an existing Flash file works the same way. Open the existing file by clicking the "Open" link on the splash screen, browsing to the file and double-clicking its name. Scroll to the section of the timeline to add the PDF. If a keyframe is already present, simply click it and follow the instructions. Otherwise, add the keyframe as noted here and follow the rest of the instructions.
