August 11, 2003: Macromedia FlashPaper is basically a PDF substitute, using Flash and therefore able to display within a web page. Some fairly serious limitations, though: "FlashPaper documents can only be viewed in a web page, so you can’t email FlashPaper documents directly to others. The text in FlashPaper documents cannot be searched or selected by website visitors." Still, I really like the combination of being able to view the document within a web page and being able to print it from there, all without having to launch a helper app.
