Flash Paper 2 & Document Map

I'm trying to find a solution which enables PDF files to be
converted to Flash Paper with some form of navigation (Same as or
similar to the Document Map function in Word). Unfortunately the
Document Map function doesn't work with PDF files. My current
method of converting PDF to Word using a converter programme is not
effective enough. Adobe are saying this isn't a priority for them
and no updates are scheduled in the near future. Has anyone found
solution for this?

Hi, I have the same problem... at the end have yoe got any
solution??
Thank you!

Can't See Flash Paper Document

First, my appologies if this has been mentioned before. I couldn't find it so I posting it.
I just installed Flash Paper2. Converted a Word document to PDF and draged it to Flash Paper2's window. It loaded fine. I then saved it as a SWF.
It looks great. The load it into a page via Dreamweaver. The preview test looks winderful.
I Upload all the required files online for the public to view it. But nothing comes up. Instead it says I need a new version of Flash Player (which I already have. That was Friday. Today, I have a white box in FireFox. And in IE, it's the same white box, but now the original (non-Flash Paper) Flash at the top is missing as well.
To make matters use, a very simple Flash SWF I've made dozens of times is now not loading. It also says I need to update. But I Already Did! This simple flash is just three flyers that swap places every 100 frames. No reason for it to need updateing. The Flash I created (in the exact same program) still works on the page, but not the new one.
What's going on?! I can see Flash Paper SWFs and normal SWFs just fine on other sites. Just not the one I'm working on.
Here the link to the Flash Paper page:
http://www.dlhenry.com/MediaKit.html
Please help.

Windows has a few graphics formats not supported by Mac OSX, such as .emf, probably the graphs are in an unsupported format.
OpenOffice is very compatible with MsOffice, if it opens the files correctly you might be able to copy and paste the graphs over. They will probably turn into .pdf graphics in the process.
Failing that make a screen snap of them using +command shift 4+ drag around the image and look for the subsequent file on your desktop.

Flash Paper dans un document flash

Allo tout le monde,
J'ai converti mes fichiers pdf en flash paper 2 format swf :
ça au moins c'est très facile !
Méthode: - Ouvrir un fichier pdf
- Aller à la fonction imprimer
- Choisir l'imprimante qui est Flash Paper 2 et pouf !, tout
ce fait automatiquement.
- On choisit le format de fichier, .swf ou pdf. que l'on
désire.
Bon tout est beau jusqu'à ce point mais là...
J'ai un document flash déjà créer avec un
menu déroulant et des clips divers associés aux
différents boutons du menu déroulant. J'ai besoin
d'importer un de ces fichiers converti en flash paper dans mon
application flash et je n'y arrive pas.
Dans aide Flash paper 2, il y a une page de code à ce
qu'il faut faire pour arriver à importer un fichier flash
paper dans flash. J'avoue que je n'y comprend pas grand chose. Je
ne suis pas vraiment une programmeuse. Voici le code, si quelqu'un
pourrait m'expliquer ce que ça veut dire et à quel
endroit l'appliquer. Je marque des notes à ce que je ne
comprend pas. Alors voici:
Texte intégrale du flash paper 2 dans aide
Utilisation de FlashPaper avec Macromedia Flash
Vous pouvez insérer un fichier SWF FlashPaper dans un
fichier FLA Flash. Lorsque vous exportez le fichier FLA dans SWF,
le fichier SWF FlashPaper est incorporé comme partie du
fichier SWF Flash exporté.
Le code suivant indique comment charger un fichier SWF
FlashPaper dans un fichier FLA normal à l'aide de la fonction
loadFlashPaper() : ( à quel endroit inscrit-on ce code? au
frame 1 du document flash ou au frame 1 d'un clip vide ou ???)
function loadFlashPaper(
path_s, // path of SWF to load
dest_mc, // MC which we should replace with the SWF (est-ce
que je dois créer un clip ? )
width_i, // new size of the dest MC
height_i, // new size of the dest MC
loaded_o) // optional: object to be notified that loading is
complete
var intervalID = 0;
var loadFunc = function()
dest_mc._visible = false; ( est-ce que dest_mc est le nom
que je dois donner à un clip?)
var fp = dest_mc.getIFlashPaper(); ( fp ( est-ce le nom de
mon document flash paper ?)
if (!fp) (getFlashPaper ( est-ce le nom de mon document
flash paper? )
return;
if (fp.setSize(width_i, height_i) == false) ( est-ce que je
dois donner une grandeur, largeur ?)
return;
dest_mc._visible = true;
clearInterval(intervalID);
loaded_o.onLoaded(fp);
intervalID = setInterval(loadFunc, 100);
dest_mc.loadMovie(path_s);
Le code suivant indique comment vous pouvez utiliser la
fonction loadFlashPaper() après avoir incorporé un
fichier SWF FlashPaper : ( à quel endroit on indique ce code?
Dans le clip lui-même sur une frame 1 ou sur le frame 1 du
document flash? )
function onLoaded(fp)
// loading is complete, so we can now adjust the current
page, zoom, etc.
// go to page 50.
fp.setCurrentPage(50);
// change magnification to 33%
fp.setCurrentZoom(33);
loadFlashPaper("FlashPaper.swf", theDocMC, theDocMC._width,
theDocMC._height, this);
La valeur fp.setCurrentPage a été définie sur
50 et la valeur fp.setCurrentZoom sur 33. Lorsque vous exportez le
fichier FLA, la page 50 du fichier SWF FlashPaper incorporé
apparaît à l'intérieur du fichier SWF exporté
avec un agrandissement de 33 %.
Donc à l'aide de ces codes, il serait bon de faire un
exemple pas à pas concret comment on intégre cela dans un
document flash.
Alors j'attendrai la réponse de celui ou celle qui veut
bien relever le défi que de répondre à cette
question un peu compliquée.
Un Gros Merci d'avance !
Nurse 1

J'ai trouvé la solution dans la documentation en
englais. Après l'avoir essayer, ça fonctionne.
Alors voici je joins le code: attach code à ce document.
C'est un pas à pas. En espérant que cela peut
aider d'autres personnes.
À une prochaine !

Severe issues when integrating flash paper in director

I'm trying to integrate flash paper documents into director
projector, but there are 2 severe problems about usability:
1. the mouse wheel doesn't work, so i can't scroll document
with mouse
2. i see two cursor on document, the standard arrow cursor
and the simulated flash paper hand cursor; it is possible to hide
the simulated hand cursor in flash paper?
I'm referencing to integration guidelines found at
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/director/articles/flashpaper_in_director.html
Please help, thanks

Loading Landscape PDF in flash Paper

I am using Flash Paper to load different pdf's in flash but i
am facing one problem that once i convert any pdf that is on
landscape size it will rotate the pdf in swf and it looks like a4
size so any idea how to fix it

Bob,

otherwise),

It's not really a blind spot. Adobe obviously cares about
both
products, and in fact, both products can be intermixed in AIR
(Adobe
Integrated Runtime), a separate runtime available on the
Adobe.com site.
There are a number of technical reasons you can't embed a
PDF directly
into a Flash movie. For one, Flash Player only supports a
limited subset of
the HTML specification -- a subset that, for better or worse,
excludes table
cells, and (importantly) the <embed> tag. But even more
importantly, Flash
Player doesn't support the Acrobat plugin. Your browser does,
which is why
you're able to embed a PDF into an HTML document. The browser
can display
the PDF because you've installed the Acrobat browser plugin
(or ActiveX
control). Flash Player itself has no such plugin.
> I can achieve the same result by using Flash Paper from
> Studio 8, but this is not included in CS3.
If you still have Flash Paper installed, you can keep right
on using it!
Its output -- SWF files (that is, Flash movies) -- is 100%
compatible with
the tools in Creative Suite 3. Flash Paper creates SWFs that
emulate many
of the features of the PDF format ... but in the end, you're
simply
embedding another Flash movie.

Flash paper -explorer 7

Has any one noticed that you can not load flash paper files
in internet Explorer 7. I loved converting word documents to load
directly and it worked fine until #7. The files load if you embed
them in an html file but not directly. Has anybody else noticed the
problem and figured out a solution? I have hundreds of files out
there that are going to no longer work when people load the new
explorer.
Thanks for your help

I have the same problem. Works perfect in other browsers. But
if you click the maximize button, it opens a new popup window as it
should, but it gets a javascript error and doesn't load. Example:
http://www.justiceforvictimsaz.com/sub/forms-brochures.html
(expand the forms section). ANy help would be GREAT! if not,
guess I'll have to do the PDF thing as well. Shame Adobe doesn't
want to support a wonderful product just because it use to compete
with PDFs.

Flash paper doesn't import bold fonts

I have some bold fonts in my word document. And when i export
them to
swf or
pdf, the bold fonts become regular. I used
Flash Paper last year once or twice and I didn't have such a
problem. The font I'm using is "Bookman Old Style". But I tried
other font types as well and they didn't work either... Anyone had
the same problem or know a fix for this issue ? cheers...
Flash Paper version = 2.02.2302

I had the same problem whenever I wanted to print on
FlashPaper. The following worked. Go to Control Panel > Printers
> Macromedia Flash Player. Right Click > Properties. Under
the tab
Ports select
FlashPaperPrinterPoint. I had LPT1 for FlashPaper selected
by default, so I guess it made my laptop "look" for the printer.
I hope it works for you too!

Flash paper equivalent for Mac?

I'm in a web page design class and we are working in CS3. We were learning about Flash in Dreamweaver and the instructor was explaining Flash Paper as a way to insert documents like articles into a web page.
I've been working on a website to post my portfolio to get a job, again, someday. I've been worrying about copyright issues and the safety of my original work. The idea of posting images and examples of ads in a format that can't be copied is attractive to me.
I checked into buying Flash paper only to find out it only works on PC's. I'm a Mac user, so does anyone know of a Mac-friendly equivalent?
Thanks.

Flash Paper Toolbar Buttons

I use Flash Paper 2 regularly to print documents from
Microsoft Access. In Word and Excel there is a toolbar button for
Flash Paper but none in Access, and there is nothing available in
the list of tools to add to a custom Access toolbar.
Is there any way to get a toolbar button for Flash Paper in
other applications such as Access?
Thanks

Thanks Urami! This worked. However, there is still one set of
buttons that still don’t work. These buttons are programmed
to open a new window that is a specific size and has all the
toolbars and menu bars turned off. The html page that opens in the
window contains an swf file that runs a video.
Again, it works perfectly over the Internet or when I test
the html page from Dreamweaver on my PC, but the window will not
open when the button is pressed if the program is running from a
CD.
This program was originally created with Studio MX 2004 with
Flash Professional. With that version, the CD worked on Windows
2000 PCs but not Windows XP. We re-published the entire program
with Flash Professional 8. Once I fixed the file names as you
suggested, everything works except the buttons that open a child
window. Now these buttons in the Version 8 program don’t work
on a CD running on Windows 2000 either.
Here is the code that I have in Flash movie for the button:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:newWindow('videowin_turnassist.html')");
Here is the code that I have in the html document:
function newWindow(bookgif) {
bookWindow = window.open(bookgif, 'bookWin',
'toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=400,height=425')
bookWindow.focus()
I got this html code out of a reference book several years
ago and we use it all the time to open child windows from parent
windows.
I tried other code that I got out of an ActionScript book and
from the Help files, but I can’t get any of it to work at all
(not even from Dreamweaver).
Do you have any other suggestions for opening a specifically
sized child window that will run a Flash movie?
TIA
Diane

Flash Paper or Impressario

Here's the project.
560 Page PDF document with images (not sure the filesize yet,
but will likely be 100MB+). Looking to be able to incorporate it on
a CD without needing to rip it apart into chunks. I will if I need
to, but just don't want to.
I will be using Director but am curious which would perform
better? FlashPaper or INM's Impressario? Flash Paper is cheap.
Impressario is $500 (and an additional $440 or so for an outdated
logo waiver!!!) From what I understand Impressario is very good at
handling large PDF documents by loading only the pages it needs...
How does Flashpaper compare?
Any comments?

I've never used Flash Paper, but have used Impressario for a
few projects.
It's a nice Xtra, but IMO it's not very well optimized. It
chugs on PDF's
with large background images - huge difference between
viewing in
Impressario and Reader. I've actually had to abandon it on
one project
because my client didn't like how slow it was.

Loading Flash Paper swf causes all other button events to fail

Hi Everyone,
I have created a project with Flash which I am using Zinc to publish as a projector for both Macs and Pcs. Now, in this app I am loading a pdf document converted to a Flash Paper swf. The moment I load this swf file into my project, it appears as though all other button events fail. If I remove the code which loads in the flash paper swf, all buttons function as expected.
Can anyone please help me with a reason / solution for this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

Did that and there were no errors shown at any point, such as when publishing the .apk file.
I found a solution. I was under the impression I needed to use touch events for it to work on a tablet, and changing those to normal mouse events solved the problem. Still not sure why it wouldn't work the other way, but for now it works as needed.
Thanks!

Major Questions about Flash Paper 2.0

Ok, I've been fiddling around with flash paper 2 over the
last few days. Like it a lot for my non-technical users..however, I
have a few questions. Hopefully someone can answer soon. Ok, I have
a main swf and in there I'm using a script I found (person who
wrote it, last name: Whitehouse) on the Net which allows me to load
a flash paper file from within that main swf along with some
control on some interface features. Here it is:
onClipEvent (load) {
// function: loadFlashPaper
// Parameters:
// path_s: path of SWF to load
// dest_mc: Movie clip to hold the imported SWF
// width_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// height_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// loaded_o: (optional) Object to be notified that loading is
complete
function loadFlashPaper(path_s, dest_mc, width_i, height_i,
loaded_o) {
var intervalID = 0;
var loadFunc = function(){
dest_mc._visible = false;
var fp = dest_mc.getIFlashPaper();
if (!fp) {
return;
} else if (fp.setSize(width_i, height_i) == false) {
return;
} else {
clearInterval(intervalID);
dest_mc._visible = true; // Now show the document
loaded_o.onLoaded(fp);
intervalID = setInterval(loadFunc, 100);
dest_mc.loadMovie(path_s);
// Function called once the FlashPaper SWF is embedded:
function onLoaded(fp) {
// We can now call the FlashPaper API functions.
// Remove the standard user interface features:
fp.showUIElement("PrevNext", false);
fp.showUIElement("Print", false);
fp.showUIElement("Find", false);
fp.showUIElement("Tool", false);
fp.showUIElement("Pop", false);
fp.showUIElement("Zoom", false);
fp.showUIElement("Page", false);
fp.showUIElement("Overflow", false);
fp.showUIElement("useHandCursor", false);
fp.enableScrolling(true);
// Some additional API features (here commented out):
// Go to page:
// fp.setCurrentPage(3);
// Change the magnification to 50%:
// fp.setCurrentZoom(50);
// Now we're ready to start
// Create the destination movie clip to hold the SWF:
var theDocMC_mc = _root.labserviceworkclip;
// Position it on the stage:
theDocMC_mc._x = 15.4;
theDocMC_mc._y = 211.8;
//theDocMC_mc.useHandCursor = false;
// Load the FlashPaper SWF into the clip,
// size it, and trigger the onLoaded() function:
loadFlashPaper("labservicework.swf", theDocMC_mc, 730, 510,
this);
//_root.miningprojectspopup.hidecontainer.loadMovie("19a.swf");
Now, is it possible to:
1.) Remove the hand curser?
2.) Remove the Flash Paper splash that appears before the swf
is loaded? Maybe replace it with loader bar?
3.) Control color of scrollbar (like you can on flash
components)
4.) The main swf is set to transparency, but if make
background color in Word doc a color, that color does not show up.
Why?
4.) In Word, I want to create multiple pages that appear
seamless when scrolling down in the swf file. however, can't to get
that to work. Has anyone tried this? I'm open to any option such as
using tables inside my Word docs (am trying that now but still not
working).
5.) I created an 8 page document in Word 2003 and saved it as
swf BUT am getting this "Printer Failed.." response. If I do pages
smaller in number, works fine. What's going on with that. I also
have installed CutePDF installed..could that be screwing it up?
6.) I want to include anchors inside the swf file so that at
the click of a button, I can automatically move the scroll up or
down. Any idea how to do that?
7.) I want to inlude links inside the swf file to navigate to
different frames inside main swf. Is that possible?
8.) When creating hyperlinks in Word to swf file, (yes, I
chose correct target frame), the page doesn't appear to open into a
new window. What's up with that?

First off I would recommend buying the non academic full version for $20 more because its worth it. So when Aperture 2.5 or 3 comes out, you do not have to pay the full price for it.
As for your library, make a backup if you want, but all you need to do after installing a licensed version of Aperture 2 is go to your previous library and then select "open with..." then chose Aperture 2 (default)
Once you do that you will receive a message stating that "once your library has been updated, it will not open in previous versions of Aperture, do you wish to continue?"
After you do that your library will be fully imported into Aperture 2 exactly as it was in the previous versions of the program.
Hope that helps.

Insert as flash paper

Hi. I am looking for a way to convert pdf files to swf. I saw
in an Adobe tutorial on Contribute that this can be done by first
inserting document as flash paper. I do not have this "insert as
flashpaper" option. Does anyone else have this option missing from
their insert dropdown menu? I am working on a Mac 10.411,
Contribute CS3 (from the web premium suite). I have written to
Adobe about this missing feature last week but have not heard back
from them. Is there something else I need to install besides the
default install? My ultimate goal is to get the pdf pages into a
flash movie, so if anyone has another idea how to do this, please
let me know. Thanks!

I don't think you will be to happy with this, but I think it
does not come with the Web Premium CS3 for the Mac:

Activating Flash paper??

Hi,
I have Studio 8 and have tried repeatedly to get flash paper
to work. Did I need to do a separate activation for this
application? All the other Studio apps work fine.
When I try to convert a small word doc to flash/swf or pdf
the process looks like its running but when I look at Windows Task
Manager it shows that Word is "not running". My normal default
printer shows that it has been shifted to the "flash printer" and
the document (supposedly) being converted shows up in the flash
printer box but quickly shows an error.
When I checked the HELP info. It mentions an activation
process that I do not remember completing (though I did activate
the Studio 8 Suite)
It seems that FP is able to run (the window opens and shows
that it is working...) but it does not "produce" - it just "hangs"
the document.
Any Ideas??
Bob

I have this too.
But there is an interesting fact: If I create SWF from PDF, I
get some bars instead of the text.
But I can see the bars even with older player versions. -
The interesting thing is, that previously createt SWFs (half
year ago) are okay and work fine, even if the method was exactly
the same. - The newly created swfs are bad, the older ones are
good.
