I hope someone at MM is listening.  I just tried to read ColdFusion MX 6.1
Evaluator's Guide
<http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/whitepapers/pdf/6_1/cfmx61_ev
aluators_guide.pdf>  as a PDF file from here
http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/whitepapers/ and after the
usual painful PDF browser wait got a blank screen which appeared “frozen” in
time.  I am really tired of bloody PDF’s in a browser; they have to be one
of the worst web experiences out there, period.

So if you’re listening at MM, can please at least have the option to get PDF
’s in Flashpaper format on Macromedia’s site.  Apart from enabling site
visitors to actually efficiently read stuff it would be a great plug for
your own products.

As an experiment, we took last months PDF version of ColdFusion Developers
Journal (a 52 page behemoth) and created a Flashpaper version.  The
difference in load time in a browser is startling.  There are native
downsides to Flashpaper, no search, cannot select text etc but for simply
reading a document in a browser Flashpaper really rocks.

Oh and thanks MM for a bloody amazing year, Seasons Greetings to one and
all.

Kind Regards - Mike Brunt
