Any reason they couldn't get rid of "FlashPaper" but make a lite version of Acrobat Reader in the Flash 8 player that could decyfer PDFs? Then everything just gets saved to PDF and it just has certain limitations or something so you don't have to download another plugin (Acrobat Reader)? Maybe I'm missing a fundamental issue with that but it seems like a good way to go. Perhaps advanced features like filling in forms and stuff would require Acrobat Reader, but simple display of a PDF would be able to be done through the flash player.

My problem was the length of time it took to print anything that was converted from something like powerpoint. For example, the presentations at MAX took hours to print. There were a few nice things about flash paper.. the zoom in zoom out was really slick.... and the fact that it loaded a lot faster than acrobat and didn't spew that damned acrobat splash screen and other branding stuff like Acrobat did was also nice. - Rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:203354 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
