There is nothing you can do to catch the error. swftools is not written to be used as a Python library, so it aborts the process when it runs into problems instead of raising an exception. Tough luck.
I recommend using the pyPdf library to attempt to see if the PDF is copy-protected first. Then use gfx to render the PDF to an image.
