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..

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.
Assuming the .exe files are actual executables (not a different extension with just the file name ending in .exe), it would be nearly impossible to convert them. The data is contained within the executable, which is probably somehow extracted and displayed using Flash Player (or it's libraries).
Perhaps you can look into extracting the data from Flash Player (no idea how you would go about that), or use a hex editor to extract the data from the executable.

Ancient Greek units of measurement varied according to location and epoch. Systems of ancient weights and measures evolved as needs changed; Solon and other lawgivers also reformed them en bloc.[citation needed] Some units of measurement were found to be convenient for trade within the Mediterranean region and these units became increasingly common to different city states. The calibration and use of measuring devices became more sophisticated. By about 500 BC, Athens had a central depository of official weights and measures, the Tholos, where merchants were required to test their measuring devices against official standards.[citation needed]
Length[edit]
Some Greek measures of length were named after parts of the body, such as the δάκτυλος (daktylos, plural: δάκτυλοιdaktyloi) or finger (having the size of a thumb), and the πούς (pous, plural: πόδεςpodes) or foot (having the size of a shoe). The values of the units varied according to location and epoch (e.g., in Aegina a pous was approximately 333 mm (13.1 in), whereas in Athens (Attica) it was about 296 mm (11.7 in)),[1] but the relative proportions were generally the same.

Volume[edit]

Greeks measured volume according to either dry or liquid capacity, suited respectively to measuring grain and wine. A common unit in both measures throughout historic Greece was the cotyle or cotyla whose absolute value varied from one place to another between 210 ml and 330 ml.[1] The basic unit for both solid and liquid measures was the κύαθος (kyathos, plural: kyathoi).[3]
The Attic liquid measures were:

Currency[edit]
The basic unit of Athenian currency was the obol, weighing approximately 0.72 grams of silver:[5][6]
| Unit | Greek name | Equivalent | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| obol or obolus | ὀβολός | 1⁄6 drachma, 4 tetartemorions | 0.72 g (0.023 ozt) |
| drachma | δραχμή | 6 obols | 4.3 g (0.14 ozt) |
| mina | μνᾶ | 100 drachmae | |
| talent | τάλαντον | 60 minae |
Weight[edit]
Weights are often associated with currency since units of currency involve prescribed amounts of a given metal. Thus for example the English pound has been both a unit of weight and a unit of currency. Greek weights similarly bear a nominal resemblance to Greek currency yet the origin of the Greek standards of weights is often disputed.[7] There were two dominant standards of weight in the eastern Mediterranean: a standard that originated in Euboea and that was subsequently introduced to Attica by Solon, and also a standard that originated in Aegina. The Attic/Euboean standard was supposedly based on the barley corn, of which there were supposedly twelve to one obol. However, weights that have been retrieved by historians and archeologists show considerable variations from theoretical standards. A table of standards derived from theory is as follows:[7]
| Unit | Greek name | Equivalent | Attic/Euboic standard | Aeginetic standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| obol or obolus | ὀβολός[8] | 0.72 g (0.025 oz) | 1.05 g (0.037 oz) | |
| drachma | δραχμή[9] | 6 obols | 4.31 g (0.152 oz) | 6.3 g (0.22 oz) |
| mina | μνᾶ[10] | 100 drachmae | 431 g (15.2 oz) | 630 g (22 oz) |
| talent | τάλαντον[11] | 60 minae | 25.86 kg (57.0 lb) | 37.8 kg (83 lb) |
Time[edit]
Athenians measured the day by sundials and unit fractions. Periods during night or day were measured by a water clock (clepsydra) that dripped at a steady rate and other methods. Whereas the day in the Gregorian calendar commences after midnight, the Greek day began after sunset. Athenians named each year after the Archon Eponymos for that year, and in Hellenistic times years were reckoned in quadrennial epochs according to the Olympiad.
In archaic and early classical Greece, months followed the cycle of the Moon which made them not fit exactly into the length of the solar year. Thus, if not corrected, the same month would migrate slowly into different seasons of the year. The Athenian year was divided into 12 months, with one additional month (poseideon deuteros, thirty days) being inserted between the sixth and seventh months every second year. Even with this intercalary month, the Athenian or Attic calendar was still fairly inaccurate and days had occasionally to be added by the Archon Basileus. The start of the year was at the summer solstice (previously it had been at the winter solstice) and months were named after Athenian religious festivals, 27 mentioned in the Hibah Papyrus, circ 275 BC.
| Month | Greek name | Gregorian equivalent |
|---|---|---|

| Metageitnion | Μεταγειτνιών | July–August |

| Maemacterion | Μαιμακτηριών | October–November |
