I hope someone at MM is listening.  I just tried to read ColdFusion MX 6.1
Evaluator's Guide
<http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/whitepapers/pdf/6_1/cfmx61_ev
aluators_guide.pdf>  as a PDF file from here
http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/whitepapers/ and after the
usual painful PDF browser wait got a blank screen which appeared �frozen� in
time.  I am really tired of bloody PDF�s in a browser; they have to be one
of the worst web experiences out there, period.

So if you�re listening at MM, can please at least have the option to get PDF
�s in Flashpaper format on Macromedia�s site.  Apart from enabling site
visitors to actually efficiently read stuff it would be a great plug for
your own products.

As an experiment, we took last months PDF version of ColdFusion Developers
Journal (a 52 page behemoth) and created a Flashpaper version.  The
difference in load time in a browser is startling.  There are native
downsides to Flashpaper, no search, cannot select text etc but for simply
reading a document in a browser Flashpaper really rocks.

Oh and thanks MM for a bloody amazing year, Seasons Greetings to one and
all.

Kind Regards - Mike Brunt
