I guess it was one of those things destined to die with the merger…

Although I didnt’ use it much, I did enjoy the little bit that I was able to play with it. The idea of being able to embed a FlashPaper SWF in another Flash movie was nice for learning applications. You can’t do that with a PDF.

Flashpaper was Macromedia’s answer to Adobe Acrobat. It was sort of a simple version of Acrobat writer. I liked it better than Acrobat (simpler, faster, more stable), you could easily convert any printed document to an SWF or PDF.

I saw this coming after Matt posted about the CS 3.3 upgrade earlier this year.

Since you can embed SWFs in PDFs now, there’s no need for Flash Paper.
