[Sigia-l] Macromedia Flashpaper [was: Acrobat reader ?]

[Dave Harland]

I use Acrobat and Flashpaper heavily. I do so because Flashpaper is typically a smaller file size. But, it lacks much of the funtionality of Acrobat. A simple image is produced in Flashpaper vs. a workable document in Acrobat. Right now, there's not much the user can do with the finished product in Flashpaper.


Thanks,
