PDF to FlashPaper Issues

webdeveloper2006 Nov 16, 2006 8:55 AM

I have a couple of unresolved issues regarding the conversion of PDF to FlashPaper:

1. Search function does not work ! FlashPaper is not able to search/find anything in the documents. I have tried many different ways of conversion (even printing the Original Indesign file directly to FlashPaper printer). Does not work...

2. External links do not work as well they are no clickable...

3. I have noticed that Adobe does not provide any feedback to this discussion group...they are selling FlashPaper, however it seems like the product is in it's early development stage ... what's up with that?! So many unanswered complaints from people are posted here...

Thanks,

I've had similar issues with PDF --> Flashpaper. My biggest one right now, however, is making 2-page spreads in Flashpaper. I've got a number of PDFs that are 2-page spreads, but I'm having a bear trying to get them to render as such in FP. Any ideas on how to do this?

webdeveloper2006 :
links are only kept thru office documents (flashpaper is an old macromedia product remember not Adobe).

TurboTad :
2 page spread... lay it out as a two page spread then publish], or load two flashpaper objects side by side, one side always odd pages, the other even. hide the tools on both and create some custom tools - voila.

Most likely you are doing everything right ... it's FlashPaper. Try converting your word document into HTML and then print to FlashPaper.

Can you specify your computer configuration?
PC/MAC? OS? Contribute / FlashPaper Version? Latest Flah Player?

I've had the same issue, under Windows 2000, Word 2000, and FlashPaper2.

Printing out via the print driver causes links to be duds. Previews the resulting SWF in the FlashPaper application without saving it.
Converting to .SWF via Word's new "FlashPaper" menu lets them work. Previews the resulting SWF in my browser, after saving it.

Hope this helps someone. Especially the devs.
