About FlashPaper files
FlashPaper lets you create Flash documents (SWF files or PDF files) from
any type of printable document, such as Microsoft Project, Microsoft
Visio, and even QuarkXPress and AutoCAD. Flash documents are typically
much smaller than other document types.
The SWF files that FlashPaper generates are in the same format as those
generated by Macromedia Flash.
When you embed Flash documents in a web page, you can view them
across platforms in any browser that supports Flash. You can view SWF
files directly in Macromedia Flash Player, and you can view PDF files
directly in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Getting to know the FlashPaper
workspace
When you create a FlashPaper document, you use the FlashPaper
application and work in the application environment. When you view a
FlashPaper document, you use Flash Player or a web browser and work in
the viewing environment.
