How to import PDF into Flash?

    What I want to do is to get each page of a hundred page PDF file as a key frame in Flash. I read around and I learnt that this is no longer possible but I also found some workarounds.

    One way would be to convert the PDF file to a SWF file and then to import it in flash. This doesn't work for me, because when I convert the PDF file to SWF file and import the SWF file in flash the quality is so bad that you can't read anything.

    So I am thinking that the only way would be to copy and paste each page of the PDF file into Photoshop, convert it to image and then import it to flash. This will take a lot of time thought for hundred pages and it doesn't seem like a professional approach.
    Can you suggest any better ideas? thanks

    I have solution for you:
    It's tedious, but you can save the quality of your original PDF this way.
    Open the pages in Illustrator and save them as Illustrator files.
    Flash can import Illustrator with no problem.

    But I guess opening in AI 1 page at a time out of a hundred is not going to be fun. :)
    If I find another one I'll repost. I think there might be a Flash extension for that...
