What does anybody think of macromedias version of the pdf, the flash paper:

here is an example of the flashpaper so you can see



So, what do you think?

Intresting, though I would like more info. I'm guessing it's an online file viewer, thats easy to embed?

its a .swf file, so easily embeddable

also has a guide to how it works

Yeah, I guessed it was a flash file. Looks very good. Hopefully it will be used more (I hate pdfs - they crash my firefox for some reason).

let me guess ... it was the name that gave it away

Er, yeah! I like the way it doesn't have to be a seperate page, either, you can put it within any HTML page.

i dont get it, u can watch flash animations in there, not pdf's?

No, it's a flash program that reads documents, like .doc. It's for website intergration. It's like having a flash animation.

i actualy like it a lot, cos now u dont have all the fus of loadin the PDF program its self, which always slowed my comp down

Well, Adobe always crashes my FireFox for some unknown reason, having it in flash is much better.

It's what we could have done with a long time ago - embedded PDF's :D I approve! I approve!

Also docs, as usually you'd have to download the fil to read it, which can take time/is pointelss as it could just be something short you want to copy from. Out of interest, con, how big are the filesizes of the flash file and the .doc file.
