[Xerte] Flash Paper

[Calder, Ian]

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but Flash paper will no longer be supported by Adobe and this may have implications for future support if you are planning on including these formats?

This may or may not be relevant, but I have to use Flash Paper docs in a
Xerte Toolkits application (pre-release version at
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_298) to display example docs
as Flash can't handle .doc or .pdf. It works quite well, I think, and FP
has a number of useful features (enlarge, print, search) built in which
are quite handy. Although you can buy FP alone, you'd get better value
from buying on of the many "Creative Suite" Adobe packages
(http://www.adobe.com/products/) many (maybe all) of which include FP
together with Flash, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, etc. FP integrates into
Word and other Office products so that it's a one-click job to create a
FP doc.
