Flash Paper has a very valid role for those instances where the Acrobat
reader is extreme overkill.  Hell, the Acrobat tool bars, tab bars, status
bar, etc. eat up half the screen real estate when all you need to do is show
a simple report or eBrochure.  Every try to embed a PDF in a page?  You
can't read the document due to the wasted space of the Acrobat reader
interface.

Subject: RE: macromedia and Adobe?!

I personally would not care much about Flash paper either. PDF has much
more potential when you look at forms, security, workflow, portability,
notes, and the open format. A bit harsh, but I think Macromedia should
not have tried to reinvent the wheel with Flash paper while PDF was
increasing their market share at a high rate. If I missed something with
Flash paper, please tell.

Too bad for the Flash paper team if the product gets the bin treatment,
but sometimes sacrifices have to be made for improving the rest of the
company. Those decisions are not easy to make, but that is where
managers are for.
