Re: FlashPaper
This topic opens a can of worms... AFAIK FlashPaper is essentially a virtual printer, and the same as Print2Flash (the company behind P2F is the same one that invented FlashPaper and sold it to Macromedia). I'm not sure which version of P2F you used but again AFAIK it will queue printjobs just fine - it 'prints' to a file after all, just like a normal printer would to paper. Both apps wrap the SWFs into a viewer which was not ideal for my requirements - it may be for yours. How are you using the SWFs? What formats do you need to ingest? Have you considered converting to images? That's what I'm doing now. Ok, you lose some of the vector niceness but at least the output format is something that can be wrapped into a nice custom SWF viewer, or delivered directly as images. I should be able to show you some examples in a few weeks when this project nears its end. The backend is all CF9 but with various other tools alongside. If you do want to go down the P2F route then feel free to contact me off list. I've hired Blue Pacific (the company behind P2F) to build me custom P2F version which can output single SWFs (one SWF per document page) as well as images. Maybe it'll fit your needs. However it sounds that you want to scale larger than that, so a virtual printer using Office to print from may not be great. I also tested CF9s capabilities in this area and was less than impressed - PPT to PDF conversion results were not very good at all. same goes for OpenOffice. You may need to check out tools such as Aspose to do your conversion. Be warned, every conversion tool I have come across has some downsides, but Aspose seems to have the least (its price is one of them though :)...

FlashPaper
Does the output of FlashPaper in Coldfusion end up using the Print driver? I need to create a service to accept a word doc or pdf and have it converted to a swf. It needs to be able to handle decent load so trying to figure out if it will create a new thread and handle multiple requests at once or will it queue up the conversion. Scribd would have been a great choice but we need to store the SWF on our servers based on requirements. Print2Flash can only handle 1 request at a time and it can't queue. I am also open to other solutions I may not know about it if CF can't handle it. Thanks! ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Flashpaper and Forms Submission
Hi All, Is is technically possible to have some sort of conversion process that converts existing form documents (word & PDF froms)to a flashpaper format (ie retaining all the formating and branding of the document), while allowing (or adding) the ability to send the form results to either a DB or to a PDF file through the flashpaper file? I basically want to be able to have the embed ability and format retention of flashpaper, while allowing form fields to be sumbitted from this flashpaper document. Your thoughts?

Re: CF8 Bug? CFReport / Flashpaper
Hi Brad, the HTML file appeared to me as if CF was recreating the report using 1x1-Pixel-TDs, i can post an extract of it tomorrow. If the temp files in /tmp don't contain too much binary junk (I didn't look into them yet), I'll post an extract of one of them, too. Could it be that CF works internally that way - generating HTML and converting it to SWF afterwards? That'd be weird. ;-) bye, marcus Brad Wood schrieb: > Wow, that's a lot of data.

Re: CF8 Bug? CFReport / Flashpaper
It looks like you need to find out what your server is doing during those 10 minutes. I would recommend installing SeeFusion or Fusion-Reactor and start looking at the stack trace while it is processing. If there is no CPU usage, it might be getting hung on an image, query, or basically any code that requires blocking for an external resource. Also, if you post this over to the Adobe forums you *might* catch the attention of someone from Adobe to help you or at least confirm if it is a bug. ~Brad - Original Message - From: "Marcus Raphelt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >* The SWF file is created, has 0 bytes at first and takes about > 10mins (!) > CF7, PDF: works > CF7, SWF: works > CF8, PDF: works, small layout issues > CF8, SWF: fails ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:312238 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
CF8 Bug? CFReport / Flashpaper
Hi List, I posted the message "CF7 ENT => CF8, CFReport Font size issues" a few days ago, I'm pretty sure now that this is a bug in CF8, more details on this: The source report is a pretty complex (as far as the layout is concerned) one-page report with some calculated fields that are fed by a cfquery. It was originally created using the CF7 Report Builder. To be able to reproduce CF8's behaviour, I set up a really small cfm page that calls the report like this: PDF result Flash result When I start this template, the following happens: * The PDF file takes about 3s to render (about 5 pages containing a bunch of calculated fields, query results etc.) and is instantly written to disk. The layout is *mostly* correct - I'd say 98% - and personally, I could live with that. * The SWF file is created, has 0 bytes at first and takes about 10mins (!) if the report contains the font "Arial Unicode MS". During these 10mins, the cf process does not even eat cpu - it seems as if it waits for something. If at least the result was correct - no, it isn't. Almost all labels are way too big and the layout is messed up. I tried the following: * Symlinking ARIALUNI.TTF to other non-unicode fonts SWF is created as fast as the PDF, but layout is still broken. * Opening and re-saving the report in CF8's Report Builder No change When I run the same template in CF7 on the same machine using all the same settings, same browser, same fonts, same weather, same coffee... both the PDF and SWF reports are rendered as expected. CF7 even swallows the report saved with the CF8 report builder and has no problems working with Arial Unicode MS... *sigh* The problem is: the customer is running a Flex2 app that displays the SWF report inline, and as they are using rather small thin clients, switching to PDFs is not really an option. Additionally, there's not only THIS report, but about 100, all of them show the same behaviour. To sum it up: CF7, PDF: works CF7, SWF: works CF8, PDF: works, small layout issues CF8, SWF: fails Has anyone of you run into similar issues yet?

Troubleshooting cfdocument format="FlashPaper"
Hey all, I've not touched in a while. I'm getting a blank screen for Flash, but PDF works. Any pointers as to what might be causing this? I started with this: As basic as it gets! and have tried adding cfabort and cfcontent to clear the output before (I know this isn't needed, but I had to try). I've also added cfide as a virtual directory to the site in case that was the problem but no joy. I'm running CF8 with IIS5. Thanks.

Converting PDF to Flashpaper in cfmx7
I have a whole pile of pdf files on disk. Is there a way to convert those PDFs on the fly to Flashpaper, and allow me to use the flashpaper embed object on a page? I can easily do it with html content (thanks to Terry Ryan), but would _love_ to handle pdfs this way.

Converting a PDF to FlashPaper using CF MX
I know that CF (especially CF8) can interact with PDF docs. I know that CF (even MX7) can produce flashpaper documents. If a user uploads one, can CF convert to the other (PDF->FP or vice versa)? I saw the ANT script that runs at the command prompt that will do this en masse, but that seems like it would only help me if I have CFExecute available to me (which I do not) or I could set up scheduled windows tasks (which I cannot). Is it possible to use the native CF tie-in (that currently works to produce FlashPaper) to convert a PDF into FlashPaper?

Re: FlashPaper vs PDF
>> The FlashPaper 2 output you get as a result (espcially with the latest FlashPlayer 9 >>player) is very, very, good and very lightweight. The hugh advantage to flashpaper is the almost instantanious rendering. The disadvantage is that small fonts appear overly anti-aliased. I had a client who wanted to use it but we couldn't solve the font problem. It reminded me of the early days of PDFs, when fonts were fuzzy. If you stick to large fonts, the rendering looks great.

Re: FlashPaper vs PDF
Actuall, JD, ColdFusion dynamically generates both PDF and FlashPaper SWF output for CF reports and CFDOCUMENT (and reports also outputs Excel and RTF, etc as well). While you are correct that the "FlashPaper" product used a printer-driver technology, we chose a different route that yields super-high quality fonts, etc natively as a Flex app would, directly aseembling the documents ourselves, without using the proiblematic "printer driver" approach. The FlashPaper 2 output you get as a result (espcially with the latest FlashPlayer 9 player) is very, very, good and very lightweight. -Damon >Macromedia FlashPaper was a printer driver which could turn documents >(including PDF) to SWF.

RichL wrote: > I've got to provide a downloadable and printable form to fill in. > I am wondering which route to go down between flashpaper and pdf. > Is there any generally accepted preference about at the moment? Macromedia FlashPaper was a printer driver which could turn documents (including PDF) to SWF. The document would display in a Macromedia shell SWF with viewing chrome. I haven't heard of any news with FlashPaper since the Adobe acquisition. For forms, though, Adobe Reader is much stronger. FlashPaper treats something as a document, but Acrobat offers significant forms technology. One wrinkle here is that Adobe Reader 8.0, announced last week and in public release this autumn, can archive filled forms to local storage. Previous versions of Reader could let you fill and submit forms for remote storage, but the 8.0 client adds local archiving. > Are there any known stats for percent users with Adobe Reader vs > MacrAdobe Flash installed ? Adobe Flash Player is by far the world's most widely-deployed software... the new Flash Player 9 is looking to have been adopted by about 50% of internet consumers within three months of its release, which is almost an incomprehensible rate of adoption. http://blog.digitalbackcountry.com/?p=498 While Macromedia commissioned NPD consumer audits and did version-tracking, Adobe did not, and so we don't have good version-to-version stats for Adobe Reader yet.

Re: FlashPaper vs PDF
It is a good point and one that should be considered I think but if I as a developer don't really know the merits of either this makes me feel that it could potentially open the way for a bit of confusion for the user? some of them may not know what flashpaper is and without some explanatory text around the icons I am not sure how much merit there is in this? or do you thinking this is undervaluing the intelligence of the average user?

CFDocument, FlashPaper and Table Borders
I am having problems with CFDocument creating a Flashpaper and then
displaying table cell borders.
The pure html in a browser shows borders but Flashpaper completely ignores
the Styles whether in the td or in a style block.
Any ideas?
Here is the code:
TD {
border-right : 1px dotted Gray;
border-bottom : 1px dotted Gray;
font : 0.7em Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Load Flashpaper in a cfform format = flash
I have the flash paper loading fine. I am using the I am calling a remote service to create the flash paper and save it as test.swf in the current folder of the flash form. But the flash paper only loads at forms first load. I would like to click a button and have it get the latest test.swf. In a cfgrid the user will select row and then click a preview button that calls the cfc that runs a query to get the data to create the flash paper. Then write the new flash paper with updated data from the query. I then want the flash paper in the form to refresh and load the same file name, but with the new data in it. Any ideas?

That's an interesting problem... the FlashPaper effort has been focused on providing officeworkers an easy way to get office documents onto webpages, and it's not really very functional as a data-transfer format. If someone starts with "MS Access-style reports" and ends up with "FlashPaper" but you actually need the data, then the first thing I'd wonder about would be whether they could do an Export from MS Access in a format you prefer, rather than going "Print" and then choosing "FlashPaper" as the output format. But if the "FlashPaper" part of that problem is a given -- if there's no way to use an actual data-exchange format instead -- then there are indeed utilities to extract text and other info from a compiled SWF file. Most of these are intended as develop-time tools rather than serving-time tools, however, so it might take some experimentation to find a good workflow. When I check the serverside offerings at swftools.com, I see mostly SWF-creation tools rather than SWF-cracking tools for the server: http://www.swftools.com/tools-category.php?cat=720 Maybe one of the develop-time SWF extracters/decompilers can be automated for server use...? http://www.swftools.com/tools-category.php?cat=759 jd -- John Dowdell .

Generating FlashPaper from PDF?
Is there a way to generate FlashPaper from PDF at the server? To make it easier, the app is a simple content repository that lets people upload their PDF so the conversion could take place once when saving the files instead of trying to do it dynamically on every output.

flashpaper printing
While at the MAX conference, I spoke to a support engineer about the print problems with flashpaper. It was also brought up in our "Get Ready for Blackstone" session. Nobody at Macromedia seemed to be like "Yeah we know that's a problem" Let's tell them. The support person suggested sending email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to "suggest" that they speed up the printing, and the more requests they get, the more the issue will be noticed. I just sent my request. If you think flashpaper printing is slow, send one yourself. Let's use the power of community to enact some change! Flashpaper is a cool product, but if my users can't print a four page document in under 30 minutes, I won't be using it. - Rick ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:183775 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=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

PDF's in a browser suck!RE: Re: Flashpaper Macromedia - Please
I agree that Flashpaper can be improved upon and there are good suggestions here for that. But here is a reality, even with a high-speed connection PDF's in a web browser are dog slow and I for one am sick and tired of being forced to wait for PDF's to the extent that I avoid them whenever possible. Once again Macromedia thanks for listening. Kind Regards - Mike Brunt Original Message --- > Ummm, you already did. If you are viewing the flashpaper document you > already have the .swf loaded in your cache. Sure, but since we are evaluating two potential solutions (Acrobat vs Flashpaper) the fact I have to look into my cache is so annoying that, alone, make me vote for Acrobat. Just a personal opinion, nothing more, nothing less. > Are you suggesting that MM provide a link to download the swf? Whatever make super easy to get the file and save it on my hard-disk would be fine for me.

one other pro, IMO, is the ability to display inline. sure, you can do this with PDF and an iframe...but having the capability built in natively is nice. not being able to save to my local computer, in any format (be it swf or otherwise) is a HUGE con. charlie - Original Message - From: "Pete Ruckelshaus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 9:15 AM Subject: Re: Flashpaper Macromedia - Please > First time I've seen FlashPaper, so I'll express my opinion. > > Pro: Wow, it's fast. > Con: Can't save, can't resize document window > > The loads fast thing is big for me (I have a P4/2.8 with a gig of memory > and I have to wait 15 seconds for the PDF plugin to load), but the can't > save is a bummer and the can't resize is a deal-breaker, though I would > assume that's a function of how the page HTML is coded. > > Pete > > > [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

RE: Flashpaper Macromedia - Please
I agree, I'm sure if they want to, they can do what I suggest and speed it up also. Can't wait to get my hands on it then. -Original Message- From: brobborb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 11:24 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Flashpaper Macromedia - Please It's slow though, moving the stuff around is slow...skips [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Re: Flashpaper Macromedia - Please
First time I've seen FlashPaper, so I'll express my opinion. Pro: Wow, it's fast. Con: Can't save, can't resize document window The loads fast thing is big for me (I have a P4/2.8 with a gig of memory and I have to wait 15 seconds for the PDF plugin to load), but the can't save is a bummer and the can't resize is a deal-breaker, though I would assume that's a function of how the page HTML is coded.

> Ummm, you already did. If you are viewing the flashpaper document you > already have the .swf loaded in your cache. Sure, but since we are evaluating two potential solutions (Acrobat vs Flashpaper) the fact I have to look into my cache is so annoying that, alone, make me vote for Acrobat. Just a personal opinion, nothing more, nothing less. > Are you suggesting that MM provide a link to download the swf? Whatever make super easy to get the file and save it on my hard-disk would be fine for me.

Flashpaper Macromedia - Please
I hope someone at MM is listening. I just tried to read ColdFusion MX 6.1 Evaluator's Guide 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 PDFs in a browser; they have to be one of the worst web experiences out there, period. So if youre listening at MM, can please at least have the option to get PDF s in Flashpaper format on Macromedias 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.
