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Impressario is $500 (and an additional $440 or so for an outdated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.

I have just enrolled to study and my course is online. in order to view any of the course content, i need macromedia adobe flash paper to be able to read anything. Please help....
Use a different device.
Adobe did not develop Flash for iOS devices and has ended all Flash development for all mobile devices.
You could try a different browser from the App store such as Skyfire or iSwifter. -
The pdf security is not working in Flash Paper
Is anyone facing a similar problem.
The pdf security if applied with a passsword to select the
text & graphics, printing, etc does not work. It selects any
and every text in flash paper and pdf. Does anyone know how can one
prevent to copy any text or graphics ...I have the same issue. My phone says the files are corrupt and they stay corrupt if I forward then from my phone. It like the phone checks for something in the PDF, when it never did before.

Hi Adobe forums,
I've just about putting the finishing touches together for an
interactive CD at work using director 1.0.11. I've provided users
with a print button that then in theory should open the
corresponding flash paper file and then the user can just print out
what ever he or she wants.
Don't ask me why I used flash paper over pdf, it was
something new and I wanted to try it out. It works fine on my
machine but when I burn the projector and accompanying swf and xtra
folder to cd it won't work on other machines.
I'm guessing this is a Flash Xtra problem, but I've already
selected Flash Assest and Flash Asset Options X32 via modify >
movies > xtras but this doesn't seem to solve the problem. To
handle the opening of this file I've also downloaded and installed
BuddApi as well.
Here's the code I use to open the swf file:
property pFile
global gDelimiter
on getPropertyDescriptionList
description = [:]
addProp description,#pFile, \
[#default:"test.swf", \
#format:#string, \
#comment:"Type the full filename to open: Example: test.swf"]
return description
end
on mouseEnter me
-- sets the cursor to the hand
cursor 280
end
on mouseLeave me
-- sets the cursor to default
cursor -1
end
on mouseUp me
--- setting the file path to go to, you need to put your
folder name or file structure in.
--- the moviepath is the path to the actual .exe file. So you
just need to
--- add the structure from that point on. In the below case
there is a
---folder called "pdf_files" in the same directory as the
.exe
sPath = the moviePath & "swf_files" & gDelimiter
& pFile
--- & is simply appending each item, so it is appending
pdf_files to the
---existing path, and then appending
--- gDelimiter which is either a \ or : and then finally
appending the name of
---your file
baOpenFile(sPath, "Maximised")
--- buddyAPI command you will have to download and install
buddy API
---Xtra. It is free, do a google search for BuddyAPI and the
site will come
---up, simply download the appropriate version and place in
your Xtras
---folder.
cursor -1
end
If anybody could point me in the right direction I would be
very grateful.Thats the strange thing, at work all machines are set up the
same way via an image ripped down to them when they are first
configured. Part of the standard desktop image is the Flash Plugin.
For some strange reason the .swf file isn't recognised on the
CD. Drag the associated file to the users computer and the file is
recognised.
I'll give the error reporting alert a try and feedback the
results. It might be that I just have to embed the Flash Paper
within the Director Projector.
If anybody else has any ideas I would be very grateful.

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, thanksquote:

Thanks for the reply,
i've fixed the 2#, and i've come up searching at the
mousewheel xtra, and i've got your same idea: send to Flash Paper
some command to force the scrolling, but it seems that such command
doesn't exists... or maybe it is undocumented?
Someone have more informations? -
Hello - can anyone tell me how you set the dimensions of a
flash paper file (.swf) when loading it into a movie? It seems to
default at 550x400. ThanksYou can set the dimensions of an loaded SWF easily using the
MovieClipLoader
class:
var myLis = new Object();
var mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
myLis.onLoadInit = function(targ:MovieClip){
targ._width = xxx;
targ._height = yyy;
mcl.addListener(myLis);
mcl.loadClip("myFlashPaperFile.swf", holder);

Flash paper not resizing in IE
I am loading my flashpaper in a movie clip using the standard
code (
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashpaper/articles/import_flpaper2_03.html).
The flashpaper is located on a different subdomain than the
swf doing the loading, so I added
"System.security.allowDomain([flashpaper.domain.com]);"
The flashpaper loads, but will not resize.
I added some debugging and it looks like the
"getIFlashPaper()" is not able to detect the flash paper.
Works in Firefox, but not in IE.
I wonder is this related to the 9.0.115 relase?
Can anyone provide any info here?
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 itBob,
> I can embed a PDF file in an HTML table cell [...]

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.

How to hide some functions in the menu bar of flash paper
Do anyone know how to hide some functions in the menu bar of
flash paper? As I want to show a swf file(converted from pdf) on
the website without printing function. How can I do it?
Also, if possible, can anyone know how to hide all functions
on the menu bar except the logo of flash paper?
Thank you very much, it is very urgent.Here is an article about how to integrate flashPaper into
Director. It has most of the functions that can be executed on
flashPaper. Maybe it will help?

Error Printing using flash paper
I have flashpaper 2.0 installed onto a windows XP Pro SP2, a
particular user is not able to use the flash paper printer. He just
gets Windows XP Printer Error box with 'Error printing - An unknown
error occured'.
There is an entry in the printer's queue, it too is marked
with 'Error - printing'.
When i log in (i'm an admin user) it works fine.
Any clues on where to look?I have the same problem. Installed Studio 8 with Contribute 3
and FPV2 on WIN XP PRO SP2. I can't print to FlashPaper; I just get
the "Error-Printing" in the print queue. I have admin privledges
but still have the problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled
Contribute twice. I have downloaded FPV2 drivers. I have tried
adding FPV2 drivers through WIN XP 'Add Printer" process and always
the same thing. -
Linking to individual flash paper pages
I need to display a flash paper doc on a webpage that opens
on specific pages, any ideas.
Thanks.Hi,
I dont think what you want is possible, the whole idea of a portlet is that its part (building block) of a page and not being a webpage by itself.
There are perhaps some workarounds
- try displaying the portlet in detail modus
- perhaps create a hybrid portlet, that is a servlet & portlet at the same time
In one of my portlets im also linking to a portlet on another page. I keep the durable link of the page where the second portlet resides as a setting in my database -
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.
