Went to buy Flash Paper from Adobe and can confirm that is is not
available or at least not available easily. You can download the 30 day
trial all fine but it would appear you cannot buy the product. The
commercial alternate, for about the same price, is Print2flash which
seems as good if not better. However importing a Print2flash swf in to
Xerte as previously reported does not work at all -> nothing
happens (as a swf or a Flashpaper page template). There is some
Action-script2 on the Print2Flash web site which claims will embed a
Print2flash swf in an other hosting swf eg: Xerte. a bit beyond me to
implement.<br>
<br>
However as we are trying to use page templates with a little bit (very
simple) of code if required we have tested and are happy to use the
following work around.<br>
<br>
Convert to PDF via Openoffice or Office 2007. Convert to swf using
open source "SWFTools" ensuring the options on "edit tab" are set to
"no viewer" and "insert stop after each frame" is selected. Note if you
have a PowerPoint you can convert directly to SWF - just import into
Open-office impress and then export as swf.<br>
<br>
Input into Xerte using "Text Flash SWF.xcp". IF the swf is multi page
- add the interactivity property and enable the controller if multi
paged. ( you may need to adjust the movie size property) .<br>
<br>
To get the full screen, zoom and printing capability of flash paper we
have a button that opens the original PDF in a reader in a new browser
tab -> not unlike flash-paper.<br>
<br>
In summary should the Flashpaper page template (or online toolkit) be
augmented with a SWF tools alternate that matches as far as possible
Flash paper capablities>?<br>

I have been testing the Flash Paper page wizards within Exerte desktop
version as I have quite a large number of PDFs of presentations etc I
want to include them with some brief text etc. I have encountered a
couple of issues.<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>The Flash paper wizard works as expected but the flash paper
with text wizard hides the page advance requiring 2 mouse clicks to
advance the slides. (See attached wink SWF). I have tried fiddling
with the re size script but get unexpected results if I alter the size
for when text is included. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Also the full screen option of the player appears disabled
which keeps the flash paper SWF at its correct size. However if you
advance to another frame and select full screen and then go back to the
flash paper frame you get unexpected results. Fortunately it is easy
to recover but I was wondering if it is possible to disable the display
size selection from the player, which I think would over come this
issue and also may help with similar issues I have encountered with
Ispring. </li>
</ul>
