I have some ebooks with the file extension .exe which can be opened with Adobe flash player 10 . I want to convert these files to pdf files.. If anyone can find me a program to covert these files it would be great. My files are of 30=50 MB in size so I don't think any online converter would be a solution.Thanks in advance..

I have had good results with K2pdfopt. With the command-line options -w (width) and -h (height) you can set the output size so that it matches exactly your Kindle's screen size.
I have now experimented with numerous, numerous tools to convert epub to pdf, but none do what I was hoping to accomplish. I have also experimented with numerous e-readers in general, hoping to display my files as I wanted them and then "print" them directly to a software pdf printer. The newest version of calibre's e-book reader allows printing directly to PDF. Unfortunately, those pdfs do not resemble the text as you are viewing it in the e-reader window. Regardless of the font size of the e-reader text, the pdf is built using font sizes specified elsewhere. This would be a suggestion for future releases of calibre to implement: print as-you-see-it from the e-reader window.
Of the various e-readers I used, epubreader extension for firefox is by far the best and most stable (calibre used up all 2GB of my ram before hanging and crashing multiple times). The display settings of epubreader allow great flexibility for displaying the text "as defined by the book settings," although the e-book settings do not always perfectly preserve the exact appearance of the print book. For all of its strengths, however, epubreader does not seem able to print to a pdf or to print from firefox at all. When I contacted support, I was referred to calibre.
As it stands, calibre is still the tool that comes closest to accomplishing my original goals. Hopefully future releases of calibre or epubreader will implement a print-as-you-see it option, allowing their ebook readers to double up as a live "print preview." Until then, I will have to make do with editing the epub raw data with calibre epub editor, and/ or building dozens of pdf books before I find the most acceptable settings for producing a suitable pdf.

What you're looking for is, depending on whether your Ebook is extracted from 'Pure Text' to the Flash Player or from a 'Series of Images', really hard or 'trying to lick your elbow' hard.
First of all, there is no tool out there that will do some 'EXE To PDF' conversion for you in some kind of 'EZ 1-2-3' interface (or any kind of interface). Period.
Trying to extract the data from Flash Player using a Debugger will yield no results, since Flash Debuggers are meant to work with '.SWF' extension files or the like, not with '.EXE'.
Using a Hex Editor to try to extract the block of code that corresponds to the Unicode or Ascii text portion of the EBook with the hope of using some online 'Hex to X' converter is possible, while you would be in for a challenge. But, as I said in the beggining: there is just a small chance of this happening and only if there is 'text' and not 'images' inside that 'EXE'.
Anyway, probably the best you can do is follow Bengi's comment and take a series of screenshots of the book and copy them to a Word file from where you can create the PDF. If the book is too long, you can create a Macro that will do this for you.
