[Xerte] pdf in xerte! But how?

TBH: I don't know, I don't have a screen reader installed at the moment. Those who have, would you mind to have a try and share your experiences? I have only started using FlashPaper three days ago (for the purpose of this Xerte example), therefore I may have overlooked something but it seems to me that it's difficult to customise any part of the FlashPaper file (perhaps by intention ...). When you import the FlashPaper file into the library of another Flash file, you only get a loose collection of symbols which do not make any sense.
In my opinion it would be best to get in contact with Adobe and ask them about this issue.

Which colours do you refer to, the colours of the FlashPaper interface?


Cheers,

Thomas
