DRAFT NOTES: still figuring things out
Flowpaper displays PDFs that have been converted to Flash (SWF) or html/html5.
- Windows and OS X desktop app creates various websites from a PDF, including a Java war file.
- The Java version war, does appear to convert uploaded PDFs to SWF.
- Spaces in file names need to be converted/removed before pdf2swf or java modified to quote output to command line calls
- Upload page does not refresh automatically (click Configuration and cancel)
- clicking on file in Available Documents starts conversion process.
- The Java version war, does appear to convert uploaded PDFs to SWF.
- Unix - Flowpaper recommends conversion of PDFs to Flash using SWFTools there are many others free and commercial.
- Flexpaper classic is the tool that allows annotations.
- Annotations are separate from document and APIs need to be called to save and restore annotations.
- FlowPaper_Annotations_Trial has Annotation code and is very similar to FlexPaper in the Java war (mentioned above)
- Flexpaper github (now Flowpaper) has several repositories and forks.
- Flexpaper on github displays SWFs, the repository description says it displays PDFs I haven't seen this and there are no PDF files in the examples or demos, just SWFs
- Flexpaper-desktop-publisher is a Google code Archive of Downloads of tools in Flexpaper github above.
- Other formats we wish to support it appears we will have to convert to PDF (using the myriad of tools available) and then to SWF.
- Remove password logic from admin/index.jsp (leave session.setAttribute("FLOWPAPER_AUTH", "1"); )
