FlashPaper 2.0

Well, I finally took the time to “re-install” my Macromedia FlashPaper 2.0… After all the work I took to uninstall Flash and all it’s bits, I had hoped that I would be able to reinstall my program.

The first thing I did BEFORE this reinstall was to set a new restore point. Sometimes having a restore point on your Window XP can be very helpful. (Sometimes its not.) Anyway, I ran the install and STILL ended up with the same error message.

At this point, I have given up using this product. It is clear to me that Adobe will NOT be upgrading or supporting this product any longer. It is really too bad because I loved this product!

Meanwhile, I have googled (Don’t you just love that word? It sounds nasty… you’ve been googled.) .doc to .swf or .doc to flash, as well as .doc to .pdf and have found that there are other products on the Internet that will do the similarly to FlashPaper. One product I have found is SWF Printer Pro. I am not yet convinced that this will create as nice of a document for the web as FlashPaper… but I am still looking.

More later…
