The FAQ mentions FlashPaper nowhere. Nowhere. It mentions Flash alright, but nowhere does it mention FlashPaper. Do a search on the document if you don't belive me. > PDF on a mobile device does not make sense. PDF is for PRINT. Why > would someone want a printable document on thier phone? Then what's the argument in favour of FlashPaper, or anything that breaks documents down into fixed-size pages (PowerPoint-style cards being another matter) on a mobile device? > Not to mention the quality and filesize issues. Quality is definitely in PDF's favour. As is file size. That's part of where my complaint about the use of rasterised fonts comes from: they bulk up the size of the file. You can take two views on how to store them: (a) one big rasterisation that's resized as need be, or (b) lots of little ones, each for whichever size the font will be displayed at. Both are problematic, both from a bulk and a quality point of view. Outlines, on the other hand, are mathematical descriptions of the letter forms and are therefore compact. You needn't store all the letterforms for the font you're using, only the ones used in the document. Also, they can be resized without loss of quality. Modern font rendering technologies use outline fonts exclusively, even on screens. > FlashPaper is perfect for the mobile > document.
