That's called Flash Paper. It's a format developed by Macromedia that basically competes with PDF and was touted as a much faster and smaller way to share content on the web. When Adobe bought Macromedia, Flash Paper pretty much died (not surprising) but apparently is resurrected in Share (which is surprising).

The most interesting thing so far about this service is what appears to be a PDF document displayed inside a Flex component. The component allows one to page through the document, zoom, etc. I wonder if someone on this list who is also familiar with Share could shed some light on how that's done - is there a Flex component that can display PDF pages? I've been looking for something like that for a while, but haven't had much luck finding one. The only option I've seen so far was to convert the PDF pages to a set of PNG images, and then display those inside a Flex component. What I'd much prefer would be the ability to display PDF inside Flex. Thanks, -- Frank
