One thing you could do is convert the file like this:
    pdf2swf -s linknameurl file.pdf -o file.swf
.
That'll name the link objects according to their destination- so a link
to e.g. page5 will be named "page5".

You can process the object names from ActionScript, or offline using
swfdump:
    swfdump file.swf
or
    swfdump file.swf | grep 'name "'

HTH,
