Trying to figure out how my swf embedded into a pdf can communicate with the document. For example; To have a button in my swf that can control the page size in an Acrobat pdf document. I would be using this locally.

"swf embedded into a pdf", and "communicate with the document", I think it is hard, but if it be provided, it should be very useful.

Try the trial version of Acrobat 9 (Acrobat 9 (Pro or Pro Extended) has new improved multimedia and Flash support. You can embed Flash as well as convert many video formats to Flash and embed H.264 encoded video for playback without needing any additional players (required in previous versions of Acrobat for playback of multimedia). Resources and FlashVars are supported for Flash in Acrobat 9.) You should be able to do what you are asking, communicate with the document with javascript.
