Macromedia has announced Macromedia FlashPaper 2, the simplest way to convert printable files into universally sharable electronic documents, available from Macromedia distributor, Dax Data.

"Macromedia FlashPaper 2 enables leading desktop applications to create documents that can be instantly viewed within any Web browser. For offline archiving and e-mail distribution of electronic documents, FlashPaper 2 also supports the standard Adobe PDF file format," says Jeremy Matthews, MD of Dax Data.

FlashPaper 2 is included with Contribute 3 Windows and Mac OS X and is a component of the new Macromedia Web Publishing System. Single licences of FlashPaper 2 will also be available as a standalone product for Windows. For more information, visit http://www.daxdata.co.za/htm/Flash_Paper_2.html.

"Macromedia FlashPaper 2 is the perfect solution for knowledge workers and Web professionals who want to display documents online," says Matthews. "FlashPaper documents load instantly inside a Web browser, a boon for content creators and Web visitors alike."

FlashPaper 2 creates documents that display online by leveraging the ubiquity of Flash Player, ensuring they can be immediately experienced by more than half a billion Web users. This means FlashPaper documents open directly in less than a second in Web browsers.

FlashPaper 2 enables one-click generation of Web-friendly Flash format documents that can be published using Web-editing tools including Macromedia Contribute, Dreamweaver, or any HTML editor. This new version creates Flash documents with integrated support for text search and selection, hyperlinks and bookmarks. FlashPaper integrates with all Microsoft Office products on Windows to enable intuitive creation of both Flash and PDF files from a simple in-product menu.

FlashPaper documents can be integrated into any existing website, Flash project, Macromedia Breeze presentation, or Macromedia Breeze Live meeting.
