I would think that would work.  Although you would probably want:

FileFilter .pdf '/Program Files/SWISH-E/lib/swish-e/pdftotext.exe' '"%p" -'

or

FileFilter .pdf "/Program Files/SWISH-E/lib/swish-e/pdftotext.exe" '"%p" -'

(quotes around %p) so that files with spaces work.

I think swish uses the first quote it finds (double or single) so
either would work for quoting the program name.  

Oh wait! I remember seeing somewhere that Windows is weird, so maybe
you need to do:

FileFilter .pdf '"/Program Files/SWISH-E/lib/swish-e/pdftotext.exe"' '"%p" -'

Where the single quotes tells swish it's one parameter, and the double
quotes is to make Windows accept the path with the space.

I wonder if you can do this?

FileFilter .pdf pdftotext '"%p" -'

I know with -S prog swish will look in a few places for the program in
addition to your PATH setting.  Maybe FileFilter will, too.
