Say you wanted to share a document with someone on the other side of the world. You could mail it (super slow), fax it (what's a fax?), or email it as an attachment. Chances are, you're going to resort to emailing it, so that's what you end up doing.
After waiting and waiting for feedback and hearing nothing, you're forced to engage in some human-to-human interaction - you pick up the phone, call your designated recipient, only to be told that they can't open your file. You sent it as a Word document, and they don't have Word. Your blood pressure starts rising because you know that you also have Excel spreadsheets and Powerpoint presentations that you need to share, and if documents are going to be such a hassle, those will be no picnic. At all.
What if there were a way to send any of these materials to anyone with access to an internet browser, with an absolute certainty that they would be able to view it? The secret is Flash! Everyone with a browser is enabled to play Flash files - it's the technology that drives video, casual games, and online advertisements. And Print2Flash is totally going there.
Print2Flash takes any document, spreadsheet, or Powerpoint presentation and turns it into an Adobe Flash (SWF) file, easily run by the Adobe Flash Player or published to the web. This is even more awesome than you think it is. By converting your documents to Flash, Print2Flash breaks down the barriers between operating systems and software packages, so that anyone, anywhere, whether they're a PC or a Mac, whether they have Microsoft Office or not, can view your stuff in exactly the same fashion.
Here are some things you haven't even thought about - Flash files can't be edited by others, so you don't have to worry about your recipients messing with your documents, or cutting and pasting brilliant ideas that don't belong to them. Print2Flash also features an admin-specified option that allows (or dis-allows) users to print or copy text content from the converted files.
Converted files are much smaller in size than your original documents, and Flash files on a website sneak right past filters that would normally block emailed attachments. Plus, you can integrate the Print2Flash output with other Flash presentations, opening a whole new world of marketing and communication for you and your business!

- “It was a nightmare to figure out how to convert my pastor client’s email s to post on the web…15 different fonts, colors…text/paragraph formatting…then there are those little nasty unnecessary paragraph/page formatting embedded from Word. Plus the images had to be resized….the list goes on. I was ready to throw in the towel.
I stumbled upon FlashPaper2 while trying to find a REASONABLE way to display multiple links from one page and keep the cost down for the church while reducing my work load.
I got the demo and thought it was “out of sight” or WONDERFUL!!! So much more efficient and faster than a PDF. large documents load so much quicker.
I then realized it was developed by Macromedia but they sold everything to Adobe a few years ago….and of course they aren’t going to promote something against their beloved Acrobat, SO NOT A SINGLE UPDATE HAS OCCURRED SINCE ADOBE ACQUIRED IT, and plan on discontinuing it. So you can buy an outdated/discontinued software for $69-79 if you search. WHY WOULD A PERSON DO THAT?
I then discovered Flash2Print which has many added features, technical support, future releases. Flash is the most efficient way to display your documents, posted newsletters, catalogs or anything in beautiful interactive color and Print2Flash is the ONLY way to go. I capture web pages, newsletters, scans of legal documents and use Print2Flash to display on the web.
For me personally, I recently had cataract surgery, but before the surgery I used Print2Flash for my scanned knitting patterns and charts so I could read them…I had gone beyond magnifying glasses, etc. I still will use that feature to view my patterns rather than from the books.”- Cynthia Carlon
